An epistolary gabion!
Day 53
Awesome mailbox #14
May 18th, 2010
I'm walking across America.
That's the idea, at least. I'm walking westward from New York City for nine months or so. If everything goes according to plan, I'll be in Oregon when the clock runs out. If nothing goes according to plan, maybe I'll end up in Peru or Mongolia or Pennsylvania. You can read all about the details of my trip if you're so inclined.

Here's my progress so far:
When my husband and I were in college we called these “rock traps” and would discuss how sad it was to see so many innocent rocks trapped like that. We wondered what they used for bait: pebbles, gravel?
Thanks for sharing your adventure!
LOL
Looks like it would drain well.
He is daring the driver of the snowplow to knock over his mailbox AGAIN!!!!!!!
Is this like to keep kids from playing mailbox baseball?
I’ve never seen them.
i think it’s to prevent it from being knocked down? I doubt our mailboxes will be as interesting in the west I think the mailbox ones are some of my faves!
this is my favorite! the best is when people “fix” their box in this manner or use a plastic five gallon bucket and fill it with sand.. or cement. it’s really cute.
kinda waiting for mailboxes with targets on them. maybe in NoDak or Montana?
