For some reason I’m unable to upload photos from my computer right now so hoping this suffices.
From my 2/4/21 ride around Reston & Herndon:

Do you live in an HOA that requires fancy mailboxes? You posted more cool mailboxes from one ride than I’ve seen all year!!

Haha, nope. I went out today specifically looking for them and was amazed at the number I found. Mind you I’ve ridden by each and every one dozens of times and never noticed them!

This one seemed seasonally appropriate, given that Valentine’s Day is coming up. At 5839 Colfax Ave in the Alexandria part of Fairfax:

You don’t live in a boring mailbox area (we all do .

This game is the opposite of ParkFinder, where there are literally hundreds around us. The truly unique mailboxes are Easter Eggs that are rare discoveries, but always pleasant when you do stumble upon them.

I am impressed with how many everyone has spotted though!

Hi all – thanks for all the great shares of unique mailboxes so far!

Some cool stuff out there.

I just updated the Google Sheet I’m using to track everything:
You can check there to see the total, what is getting points & what isn’t.
I’ll keep it updated regularly (sometimes I might get busy w/work, but hopefully at least weekly).

PM me or post to forum if you have any questions.

I know it’s a tough game (as in rare to spot unique & creative mailboxes; not an every ride occurrence).
Even if I might not count it, feel free to keep posting here and/or Google Album to share if you want.
In general, don’t expect points for mailbox wraps or mailboxes in “protection” (brick or stone posts, big wood box surrounding a reg mailbox, etc.) Those are a dime a dozen on some rides Sorry to be a stickler.

Found on Burke Road, north bound, approaching the intersection w/ Rolling Road (Burke VA)


Though I think that this mailbox [emoji398] lost its last digit!

Berlee Drive in Lincolnia VA, 22312, between DaHill Pl and Hillcrest Pl, with an extra bonus Pink Flamingo in the background (and yes, it is hilly in that hood!)

I spotted this one on Mt. Olney Lane in Olney. It’s not the best, but you don’t see many of the city folks with these.

My cousin posted this one on Facebook, so no points for me. Perhaps someone can find one of these after our next snow coming up soon.
