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.......

Sketch by William Macleod.
William Macleod (1850-1929), artist and businessman, was born on 27 October 1850 in London, son of William Macleod, cordwainer, and his wife Juliana, née Exness (or Esner). The family followed the gold rush to Victoria and after her husband's death in 1855 Julia settled in Sydney, where she married the portrait painter James Anderson. His drinking excesses caused Macleod to seek work from the age of 12; trained by Edmund Thomas at the Sydney Mechanics' School of Arts and known first as William Macleod Anderson or James Anderson junior, he had his first artistic contribution published in 1866 in the Illustrated Sydney News. Over the next decade he travelled widely and won a reputation as a painter of portraits and cattle, a designer of stained-glass windows, and as illustrator with a strong line for such journals as the Sydney Mail, the Australian Town and Country Journal and Sydney and Queensland Punch. On 29 January 1873 he married Emily Collins at St Mary's Cathedral, Sydney.
His full story is written in the Australian Dictionary of Biography: adb.anu.edu.au/biography/macleod-william-7419

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowshoe_Thompson The Pony Express was a mail service delivering messages, newspapers, mail, even small packages from St. Joseph, Missouri across the Great Plains, over the Rocky Mountains and the Sierra Nevada to Sacramento, California by horseback, using a series of relay stations. During its 18 months of operation, it reduced the time for messages to travel between the Atlantic and Pacific coasts to about 10 days.[1] From April 3, 1860, to October 1861, it became the West's most direct means of east–west communication before the telegraph was established and was vital for tying the new state of California with the rest of the country.

Snowshoe Thompson (April 30, 1827 – May 15, 1876) was a nickname for the Norwegian-American John Albert Thompson, an early resident of the Sierra Nevada of Nevada and California. He is considered the father of California skiing.[1] Between 1856 and 1876, he delivered mail between Placerville, California and Genoa, Nevada and later Virginia City, Nevada. Despite his nickname, he did not make use of the snowshoes that are native to North America, but rather would travel with what the local people applied that term to: ten-foot (over 3-meter) skis, and a single sturdy pole generally held in both hands at once. He knew this version of cross-country skiing from his native Norway, and employed it during the winter as one of the earlier pioneers of the skill in the United States. Thompson delivered the first silver ore to be mined from the Comstock Lode. Later he taught others how to make skis, as well as the basics of their use. Despite his twenty years of service, he was never paid for delivering the mail.[3] Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowshoe_Thompson

Flying into and out of Anaktuvak Pass was a beautiful and thrilling experience - and I must admit, that my heart was in my throat every now and then. The Brooks Range mountains reach peaks of over 6000 feet, which are not high for many standards, but are high in this area of the country considering the valleys are substantially lower. They also surround the area and when navigating in the area, it seemed that our pilot needed to almost "thread the needle" to get us through the pass. Now that, coupled with my husband constantly getting the 411 on the area sights and history, I was a bit anxious at times. It made me realize that I really knew nothing our my pilot, yet I allowed myself to just jump into the plane for a new adventure. I must say that in his defense, he appreared very professional and competent and obviously sensed my fear (I mean, we're in the total remote wilderness - would anyone find us??) and kept reassuring me we would be fine.
Go figure, I can go face to face with a coastal brown bear, but bumping around in the air made me a bit concerned. Oh well - if I had the opportunity to do it again - I would do it in a heartbeat!
Been in a slump lately and really discouraged and depressed on things, so when ALL this dolly mail arrived late this afternoon...I was tickled pink! (Even though there was nothing pink here!!) The fluffy ticking bedding is awesome, and I love the blue dresses for a layaway girl, and I adore girls in white, and then there is the scrumptious lime green! Yay for happy mail!

Further information about this image from a comment made by another Flickr member:
"Truth is, this train never delivered mail TO Powelltown! It shows one of the Shay geared locos of the Powelltown Tramway, which ran from Yarra Junction to Powelltown and then into the bush, serving various hamlets and sawmills. This loco was not (well, hardly ever) used between Y.J. and Powelltown. It only ran from Powelltown into the mountains and delivered mail FROM Powelltown to the isolated settlements in the bush. Shows the loco on the 'Big Bridge', a mile from Powelltown, heading into the bush with empty log bogies. date - Maybe mid-1930s judging by the re-grown from the 1926 fires. Oh, that bridge - the Army blew it up for a training exercise in the ?1950s?."

Photo of the day December 13, 2021 - I was out getting some pictures when the postal vehicle drove by delivering the mail. Decided, since I had the camera out already, I would snap a picture.
Mud wagons and more elegant, decorated Concord coaches carried passengers and mail throughout the country during the 19th century. The ride in these hard wagons over rough roads and dusty deserts or in frigid snowy weather tested the endurance of even the most seasoned traveler.
