Day 3: Highland postal and telecommunications services #3
The shed and call-box are still there, amazingly, though no longer a working post office as it was then.

This is the former post office in the ghost town of Vandalia, Montana. If you need to mail a letter or pick up your mail you can now go right next door to the former school which is now the post office.
Vandalia Montana became a town in 1904 and started out with just a post office and a store. It is located along the hi-line of what was at the time the Great Northern Railway (now Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad). The town's main industry used to be brick manufacturing. The bricks were used in public buildings all across Montana. The town itself seems to have about two occupied homes each at opposite ends of town. The town is in an absolutely beautiful location along the Milk river.
"...My porches sag and lean with old men and children
Their sleep is filled with dreams, I never can fulfill them
I am a town...
...I am memory and stillness, I am lonely in old age; I am not your destination
I am clinging to my ways
I am a town...." -I Am a Town, Mary Chapin Carpenter
I always think of this song when I drive through a ghost towns like these:
Playing around with my new Canon SD600 while waiting for results at CYC after this weekend's Puget Sound Spring Regatta. Its a pretty simple camera but you can do some pretty fun stuff with it if you start pushing around the white balance and the color settings.
And we took first place in our class for the regatta. Not bad for a heavy-air weekend on a light-air boat.

Check out this telephone pole on Cambie Street in Vancouver. Years and years of band flyers and show promotions have left cool wear on in the wood. Remnants of a lot of peoples dreams on this old post.
