I replied only to Dana by mistake and then got engrossed in the
topographical maps suggested by Donde. They are neat! Then I had to get
out a road map to figure out where in the county I was when I clicked on
McCamish Cemetery. Even so, it's pretty easy at that web site since they
have all the cemeteries linked.

Once at the cemetery (which appears to be in the middle of nowhere on the
road map), I noticed the name Duncan Valley just to the west and that rang a
big bell - except I thought it was "Duncan's Valley."

I may not be able to wait until I retire to get up there.
Thanks, Doug
