I do not have GPS coordinates for the cemetary, as I normally just drive right to it and park. I will get you those in the next few days, but for reference, it is one of the many, and one of the larger ones down Wicker Point Road. It is on Russell Lands property, but public access is not restricted in public cemetaries.
As for the landfills, the ones in question would obviously be on Russell Lands property. Judging by the emphasis in your statement that "you will not trespass," I assume you are not interested in those. One is within sight, and easy walking distance of the "new" trail system, and there is also one inside the gate at Willow Point. The one in Trillium (the largest one, which is the one I reference when I speak as if there is only one there, though there are more) is off a paved road, but an easy walk. Incidently, all of these dumpsites are easily seen in recent Google Earth aerial photos. The cemetary is not, as it is grown over and the headstones are not easily seen unless you are standing right there.
Out of curiosity, do you ever camp or relax on any of the islands around the lake, such as Sand Island near Willow Point, or Acapulco and Chimney Rock? There are a some interesting things on a few of those islands, and many people frequent them without ever even knowing what is there. If you are a "beach our boat for a while" kind of guy, I can give you some info about those as well.
Look for an email mid-week. I will not be able to get to Alex City until Wednesday at the earliest, but I will send you the coordinates to the cemetary then, along with coordinates to the dumpsites I have mentioned. Visit what you will, and ignore what you will. Ignoring them doesn't mean they aren't there, or that they aren't a problem which directly affects "our lake."
If owning a GPS makes one "an elitist," I must be the Queen of Arrogance. At last count, I own 5 :)
And don't ask me how many compasses I have either!
