Just Another Rainy Post Office Day
On the way back from Eugene I thought I might catch a couple more Post Offices, but I got ambitious and took a half dozen. Stumbled on a covered bridge along the way. Of course it took 4-1/2 hours to get home instead of a little over 2 hours, but hey, got no reason to go in a straight line.
-
- Marcola – For some reason I didn’t have this town on my list of Post Offices around here. Luckily I passed right by it on my route to Sweet Home. (2/19/25)
-
- Crawfordsville – I took a picture of the Earnest Covered bridge that is between Marcola and Crawfordsville. Little did I know Crawfordsville had a covered bridge of its own. Maybe I’ll seek it out next time I’m this way. (2/19/25)
-
- Foster – When I entered the address for this PO into Google Maps it said it was in the town of Sweet Home, but then again, what do you expect from a company that calls the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America. (2/19/25)
-
- Sweet Home – The 2018 Capitol Christmas Tree, which comes from a different national forest every year, was acquired by the Sweet Home Ranger District for that year. (2/19/25)
-
- Lebanon – On today’s Main Street, Jeremiah and Jemima Ralston built a store. It soon became a stop for gold seekers on their way to California. A village grew up around the store, and in 1855 the couple filed a plat for the town, naming it for Jeremiah’s birthplace of Lebanon, Tennessee.
-
- Crabtree – The Postmaster and his human assistant place some new stuff on the community bulletin board. (2/19/25)
