Mailbox Monday: The Wagon Wheel System

We came across this mailbox system on the road down from Mt. Evans in Colorado. It was perched on the side of a steep hill and the boxes were at car window level.


The wheel turns to allow access to each box. I think it is pure genius.

We have something similar for our mailbox... I talked to our postmaster about it once, I think it wagon wheel mailboxes used to be more common. (They're rare enough now that we're the only one in our zip code so he knew our setup exactly).

My dad posted a photo of it on his blog this morning... It isn't as nice constructed as the one you saw, but it does do the job:
