After a little searching on the internet, I found that Alice Duer Miller is buried in Evergreen Cemetery in Morristown, NJ. The cemetery is on Martin Luther King Ave. She is in section 37, lot 58. Her grave stone looks like a book. I was visiting family in the area and stopped by to get some pictures. Here is a little about her from a website...
Alice Duer Miller was born and raised in the wealthy, influential Duer family of New York. After her formal debut into society, her family's wealth was lost in a bank crisis. She studied mathematics and astronomy at Barnard College beginning in 1895, earning her way through publishing short stories, essays and poems in national magazines.
She graduated in June 1899 and married Henry Wise Miller in October of that year. She began teaching and he initiated a career in business. As he succeeded in business and as a stock trader, she was able to give up teaching and devote herself to writing.
Her specialty was in light fiction. She also traveled and worked for woman suffrage, writing a column "Are Women People?" for the New York Tribune. Her columns were published in 1915 as Are Women People? and more columns in 1917 as Women are People!
By the 1920s her stories were being made into successful motion pictures, and she worked in Hollywood as a writer and even as acted (a bit part) in Soak the Rich.
Her 1940 story, The White Cliffs, is perhaps her best-known story, and its World War II theme of a marriage of an American to a British soldier made it a favorite on both sides of the Atlantic.

I got this one while visiting family over Thanksgiving. It is located on Lake Hopatcong in Jefferson Township New Jersey. The ferry takes you to Raccoon Island, which is a small residential island. I have been on the ferry once when I was a kid. My dad and I delivered firewood to a house on the island. The pictures are dark, because it was almost night when we got there. The ferry had lights on it, but didn't appear to be working. The lake level was very low. They usually lower it in the winter, so people can repair docks and things. I did see lots of small boat on shore. I guess in the winter you are on your own, getting to the island.

I was in New York City for a concert with my brother after Thanksgiving, but haven't logged my find until now. New York has gargoyles everywhere on those old buildings. I tried taking pictures of several different ones, but they were too high for my camera to zoom in on. I got this one...the closest shot I could get. It is located at 13th St. and Broadway. It was very difficult getting any reception on the GPS in the city...except in Central park...because of all the buildings in the way. The coordinates should be pretty good though...it took me a while to get a read. There are actully four lion head gargoyles on this building...the water comes out of their mouths.

This is the Conneaut, OH lighthouse. I couldn't get too close, so the coordinates are from the spot I took the picture at. Here is a link to the information about the light. (visit link)
