29 Sept.2000

1.  East from Redwater on US 67 Highway to Co. Rd. 1214.

2.  Turn left (north) on Co. Rd. 1214, go .4 of a mile to Hickory Oak Lane
     Co. Rd 1233.

3.  Turn left (west) on Hickory Oak Lane, go .4 of a mile, lane turns right
       and becomes Hidden Valley Rd. This Rd. goes a short distance and
      turns right. Continue north, cross a wet weather creek and the road
      turns left
and becomes Valley View Rd. No signs.

4.  Follow Valley View about .4 of a mile, just before Valley View dead
     ends, Hughes Rd. turns to the right. The distance from Co. Rd. 1214 to
      the 4 wheeler trail is .9 of a mile.

5.  Turn right (north) on Hughes Rd.

6.  On the left, seventy steps from the corner of Valley View & Hughes Rd,
       next to a phone box, you will see a trail made by a 4 wheeler.

7.  From here you have to walk. My steps are about 18", if you divide them
      by 2 , you will have the approximate number of yards. These woods are
      so over grown, you can’t lose the trail. The two numbers of steps are the
 
     number I counted on the trip to the cemetery & the number I counted on
     
the way back to the truck.

8.  From Hughes Rd. go west/southwest 163/165 steps to a cross trail &
      fence.

9.  Turn right (north), follow trail 105/110 steps along the fence to a trail
      on the left.

10. Turn left ( southwest) and follow this trail 320/325 steps. Here you can
        see a wide place in the trail where they have been turning around the
        4 wheelers. At the end on the trail on the right if you look close you can
        see the Alford’s tombstones marking the northeast corner of the Creed
        Cemetery. If you follow these directions with the map you can’t miss it.
