Mailbox archive: Saddle up! 5644 East Fairmount Street
This is the first of a series of mailboxes I photographed but never published on the blog. Back on December 8, 2012, I was out hunting mailboxes, found this one, and was so amazed that I forgot to write the address where I found it! It's a mailbox with a “hump” on the post and a saddle on top.
Luckily, I had the geotagging feature on my cell phone turned on. Last week I checked the photo on a map and found it. A quick look at Google Maps Street View shows that the saddle wasn't there anymore — at least in March 2019 when the Street View car drove by. It's quite a scene… worth a stop if you're in the area (northeast of Craycroft & Speedway)! I'll include that photo below.

4480 South Heather Place
David Aber found another mailbox with a tiki post on October 10, 2017.
Besides the post and the grass shack, he spotted the fun sign on the fence at the left side of this photo. I've zoomed in below:
He sent the photo on January 8th. Thanks, Dave.

Finally, bigger photos (when you click)!
Until recently, Blogger would charge me money if I put photos on this blog that were longer or wider than 800 pixels. That used to be pretty big, years ago... but now it's small. They've raised the limit to 2,048 pixels.
Starting next week, if you click on a photo, you'll see a much larger version. (The template that holds the photos and text is still the same width. I'll try to fix that some day. For now, you'll need to click.)

426 West Simpson Street (in 2014)
We usually don't show mailboxes with saguaro-shaped posts, but this one has a saguaro made of horseshoes!
The door to the home also has a horseshoe design.
I found this mailbox on March 3, 2014, but decided not to show any more saguaro posts. I just changed my mind about this one. :)

2237 South Pebble Beach Avenue
David Aber found this example of “cat-titude” and emailed it on August 5th. Although we usually don't show mailboxes that have a cover (typically vinyl) hung over the box, those covers are usually commercially made. Dave pointed out that this one looks handmade, and I agree (it's a good job!). Whether it is or not, though, I'm sure I'd get an irate message from Colette if I leave her picture off of the blog.
Have a good Labor Day! (You can be sure that Collete is.)

6317 East Calle Castor
A few weeks ago, I posted a mailbox like this one — but more stylized. Another one, with the mailbox partly surrounded by rocks, is at 2222 East Helen Street.

8315 East Calexico Street
mailboxes with big stuccoed posts because there are so many around town. But this mailbox — which is buried in an extravagantly-decorated post — has gotta be an exception to the rule.
I (couldn't miss it as I) drove by on June 21st.
