Upon our bush pilot landing the Piper PA-31 Navajo Chieftain aircraft, I stepped outside and was struck with the beauty of the surrounding mountains. There was a crispness in the cool air and a deafening silence in the air. As I stood there soaking in what my eyes were witnessing, I wondered - Had I found Paradise?
Anaktuvak Pass lies in the heart of the Brooks Range - the northernmost mountains in AK. It's 100-miles north of the Arctic Circle and it's surrounding glacier-carved mountains reach heights of 6400 ft - which afford the most incredible views. It's a major migration route for the world's largest herd of 450,000 Barren Ground Caribou. Other wildlife found in the area include bears (grizzly and black), wolf, moose, muskox, Dall sheep, wolverine (which I have never seen), and fox.
It's also the home to about 300 Nunamiut Eskimos and is the only village within the boundaries of the Gates of the Arctic NP.
These bush mail flights are essential to the Nunamiut eskimos - one that they look forward to. Again, there are no road systems allowing auto travel to the village. As the local village people arrive at the primitive airstrip for the mail & supplies delivery, they begin to unload their "cargo" and load whatever they need to go back to the civilization known as Fairbanks.
While this shot is just one view, if I turned around 360 degrees and took pictures of each view, they would be as beautiful, if not more beautiful than the one above.
It's bad enough that the thermometer is hovering at 93, but now the 350 page John P's Great Outdoors catalogs have come out.
You think you could lug around all that weight in this heat?

I wonder if FedEx would rather the snail mail came in an unmarked, non-de script van, with a plainclothes letter carrier?
I imagine they would go bonkers if someone shipped something to the hub with UPS...

.... Canada Post mini cart truck, used for delivery of mail to 300 homes on Ward's & Algonquin Islands. Some streets are little more than sidewalks, hence the small mini cart truck ....
With his reputation for being protective, and less than friendly to visitors, you'd expect Pepper to go ballistic every time.
Turns out they get along famously, and the regular letter carrier is one of the few people that gets free reign around the compound.
When someone else has to fill in on his route... different story.

Tensions mount as the mailman makes the daily visit to the UPS hub.
Have you heard the joke about the company that delivers packages on time, to the correct address, without ever damaging the contents, or losing a shipment?
No?
I haven't either.

My letter carrier parked at my place where the snow has been shovelled. Yes, I have a quirky sense of humour calling her my MALE lady as opposed to mail lady. Perhaps I'm losing it due to cabin fever.

Previously just a Dodge, the Caravan's cargo version was marketed under the Ram brand for its last couple of years. With the arrival off Ram's own version of the Fiat Doblo (the ProMaster City, now itself discontinued), the C/V Trademan was taken off the market following the 2015 model year.

In 1860, there were about 157 Pony Express stations that were about 10 miles (16 km) apart along the Pony Express route.[6] This was roughly the distance a horse could travel at a gallop before tiring. At each station stop the express rider would change to a fresh horse, taking only the mail pouch called a mochila (from the Spanish for pouch or backpack) with him. The employers stressed the importance of the pouch. They often said that, if it came to be, the horse and rider should perish before the mochila did. The mochila was thrown over the saddle and held in place by the weight of the rider sitting on it. Each corner had a cantina, or pocket. Bundles of mail were placed in these cantinas, which were padlocked for safety. The mochila could hold 20 pounds (9.1 kg) of mail along with the 20 pounds (9.1 kg) of material carried on the horse. Included in that 20 pounds (9.1 kg) were a water sack, a Bible, a horn for alerting the relay station master to prepare the next horse, a revolver, and a choice of a rifle or another revolver.[13] Eventually, everything except one revolver and a water sack was removed, allowing for a total of 165 pounds (75 kg) on the horse's back. Riders, who could not weigh over 125 pounds (57 kg), changed about every 75–100 miles (121–160 km), and rode day and night. In emergencies, a given rider might ride two stages back to back, over 20 hours on a quickly moving horse. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pony_Express
Can't play because my bathroom project is taking WAY longer than anticipated...but I can SHOP! (hoping I can be finished living in a construction site soon!) Oh, and my contractors found this photo shoot VERY amusing....
Mail delivery in China - it´s great how they just bunch up those bills and stuff them in there - because they really deserve no better ;)
This one has a nice spatial effect when used as a desktop background - if you keep your icons aligned to the left side.
It´s not truly monochromatic btw, even though I tagged it as such...still a bit of color in there.

For some reason this makes me want to break into song :-)
(Stop)
Oh yes, wait a minute Mister Postman
(Wait)
Wait Mister Postman
Please Mister Postman, look and see
(Oh yeah)
If there's a letter in your bag for me
(Please, Please Mister Postman)
Why's it takin' such a long time
(Oh yeah)
For me to hear from that boy of mine
There must be some word today
From my boyfriend so far away
Pleas Mister Postman, look and see
If there's a letter, a letter for me
I've been standin' here waitin' Mister Postman
So patiently
For just a card, or just a letter
Sayin' he's returnin' home to me
(Mister Postman)
Mister Postman, look and see
(Oh yeah)
If there's a letter in your bag for me
(Please, Please Mister Postman)
Why's it takin' such a long time
(Oh yeah)
For me to hear from that boy of mine
So many days you passed me by
See the tears standin' in my eyes
You didn't stop to make me feel better
By leavin' me a card or a letter
(Mister Postman)
Mister Postman, look and see
(Oh yeah)
If there's a letter in your bag for me
(Please, Please Mister Postman)
Why's it takin' such a long time
(Why don't you check it and see one more time for me, you gotta)
Wait a minute
Wait a minute
Wait a minute
Wait a minute
(Mister Postman)
Mister Postman, look and see
(C'mon deliver the letter, the sooner the better)
Mister Postman

Contrary to popular belief, not all mailmen and dogs are mortal enemies.
Pepper also knows that this is right around the time when his monthly subscribe and save delivery of Greenies comes in.

A Very happy and good mail day, and well - deserved. Been working hard on my antique space, been dealing with my Mom's husband in a coma waiting to die at the VA Hospital and much other stuff, so I am pretty excited about today's mail. My PW girl is back from spa, there is a lovely new LY girl in there and some sundries. Off to open the goodies.......
