It is Sunday and its sunny, what should I do? You know full well what I did, don’t you? That’s right, I took some Oregon Post Office pictures. Today Bucky became the fifth car to have its picture taken with a Post Office in the background and the third different Miata. The first 31 photos were with the CTBNL and the next 11 were with the Ladybug, our previous red Mini Cooper. The CTBNL had 3 more photos with Post Offices before turning over the duties to our second Mini known simply as Mini Two for the next 15 post office photos. The fourth car to join the Post Office Picture Team was the brand new 2024 Aero Gray Miata GT which appeared in the next 15 pictures.
On the way back after a trip to visit family in Granite Falls using Mini Two, I snagged 4 quick post offices before the New Miata took back over for the next 14. The same car also did the next 48 in a row, but it was no longer gray, but a bright blue. There was one photo outlier of Mini Two followed by 7 with the New (blue) Miata. While getting some service done on the Mini Two last week it had its photo taken with 2 nearby Post Offices and quite likely its last ones.
Today the fifth car, New Old Miata, AKA Bucky, joined the ranks of Oregon Post Office posers:
-
- The city takes its name from the sawmill and flour mill on Butte Creek that were owned by Robert Scott and Thomas Scott. (3/9/25)
-
- This is the first shakedown trip in the new to me Miata and what better way to show what it is for. (3/9/25)
-
- This was stop #1 on a quick trip to south of Portland and east of Salem to clean up the Post Offices there. (3/9/25)
-
- I didn’t have any cell coverage here, so Google couldn’t direct me right to this building so I drove around in circles for a while until I spotted it. (3/9/25)
And actually, I considered taking a photo of the second of the above Post Offices Friday morning with a Silver Nissan Sentra I had rented to drive down to Eugene to pick up the fifth car, but opted not.
