On Saturday morning we had a neighbor of ours, Paul Mathis, drive up to let us know that our mailbox was down by the bridge. Apparently the kids around these parts think it's great fun to vandalize mailboxes, especially on a Friday or Saturday night.
It was actually a good thing because we got to chat with Mr. Mathis and learn some history about our property, he told us how he used to farm corn at our place, where there was once a steam powered sawmill, where a log cabin once stood, where there was a den of wildcats, an old road, etc.
I repaired the mailbox, it's #542. Don't know how long it will last though.
