The barrel is protecting the mailbox post. It was awesomer when I thought the mailbox was just sitting on the barrel.

Awesome mailbox #15

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:
my grandfather did something similiar with concrete to stop vandals from smashing his garbage cans. he painted it with stripes to get their attention then heard a crunch one night, found glass the next morning and it never happened again, hehehe……
I LOVE your grandfather!

I was thinking maybe it had a trap door in the bottom of the mail box that dropped junk mail into the barrel. Reminds me of the burn barrels everyone had in their backyard to burn trash in the 50’s in the suburbs of Okla. City
