I don't mean to sound preachy but the bottom line is:  there is no legal
place to park along rural Graceham Road and the few driveways along the road
are private.   Birders should find a suitable place to park in nearby
Creagerstown and either hike or bring a bicycle and bike to the appropriate
viewing location.

Regarding parking at the cemetery, not only did some birders walk across the
graves but there were tire tracks over the grass.  The narrow roads in this
small churchyard cemetery were not designed to accommodate the hodgepodge of
cars parked every-which-way on Saturday.  Parking on the cemetery roads
should be limited to cars whose occupants are visiting a grave or
participating in a funeral event.  There are several parking spaces in front
of the church, which, I think, can be used only if there is no service in
session.
