I just made it here on time. As I was pulling up to the Black River Falls post office, a employee was walking out of the building to retrieve the mail from the box out in front. With a hurried and frantic tone to my voice I explained I just wanted to get a few photos of the mural. Luckily, I was able to get some photographs before the lobby closed.

And that my friends is how it works sometimes when you visit a lot of post offices. The hard work I go to bring you these great post offices is truly rewarding.

Thanks for visiting,

David W. Gates Jr.
