This is getting out of hand.
Day 55
Awesome mailbox #20
May 21st, 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:
I’m somewhat disappointed, Matt. I would have thought your comment under the photo to be “Enormousest”.
Is there a buried utility line that kept the mailboxes from being “planted” closer to the road?
I was expecting “Trinormous”.
Love the wordplay.
Based on the placement of the trees in all three pictures, and the slope visible in the first one, I think Jack might be on to something. Could be due to a culvert pipe, too.
I think they do that so the mailboxes/posts don’t get knocked over in the wintertime when the snowplow clears the roads.
Another good use of old utilities poles cut in half just like the last photo of mailboxes. Those poles are planted so far in the ground they won’t get knocked over. Recycling? Reusing?
