    To be clear, if found, a snowman built around a regular mailbox would absolutely count :) Thanks for the sharing the pic! hilarious.

    Boomer – maybe the mailbox w/rooster is 882′ (feet) away from something :)

    You have certainly been keen-eyed and prolific in your hunting. Thanks for all you’ve shared!

    Alan – thanks for sharing still. I’ve seen a few of them myself (never in the city :). It’s a nice, bright mailbox always though. I’ve even seen an International Harvester one; it wasn’t as cool looking as the Deere though.

    You got me hooked on hunting mailboxes now!

    We’ve all seen them while on rides, but never occurred to me before to make that a ride objective. Brilliant game that now makes every ride an adventure, thank you.

    I’m also trying to be more discerning in my selection criteria now that I “get” what you are looking for. Thanks for the feedback… and curating this great pointless prize competition [emoji1374]

    Appropriate mailbox for HokieBeth found in Reston. Across the street was a mailbox cover for that *other* Virginia university whose colors are blue and orange. Yahoos or woohoos or something like that lol

    That’s funny…. I was on a ride in Reston yesterday and noticed a tech mailbox across the street from a uva mailbox too. (Wahoos….as I bet you know [emoji3166])

    Hmm you went on the same ride Tuesday – with Anne – that I went on yesterday. I bet that’s where you saw it [emoji57]

    804 Triple Crown Rd, Reston near intersection with Glade Dr.
    (This may not qualify as the mailbox itself is plain but as a whole with the enamel decorative number plaque and shells at the base of the post, I thought it interesting.)

    As I was driving around today (shh, don’t tell anyone I also drive for fun), I saw a few “plain” mailboxes that were so plain, I thought they might count. But seriously, I did about a 70 mile drive, and you saw more interesting mail boxes on your ride than I did on my drive. I guess VA folks are more creative.
