West Shore Entrance and Mail
Box Row. |
|
Getting the mail during the
summer was an adventure. We would walk along the back road. Stop
at the spring and take a swallow. Look for deer in the shadows
of the scrub maple and oak. |

Here's where the west shore
road begins. It was a dirt road. Then a shale road. Now a gray
gravel road. There use to be a couple of old big trees where
the West Shore Drive sign is now. Everyone nailed up a name sign.
You could hardly see the tree for the names. Kossen. Sterns.
Menotte. Saaf. McCormack. Davids. Teeter. McCleary. Olsen. Cooke.
Stevenson. Mooring. Robins. Belcher. |

Remember the row of mail
boxes at the head end? Most tilted one way or another. Each unique.
A P.O. Box number to mark the owner. A good old standard US postal
office issue metal mail boxes along Rural Route #1. How we loved
to open the hinged cover of your very own mailbox! |
