Mail Box In the Middle of Nowhere. This standard type USPS mailbox sits incongruously on a post in Washoe Lake State Park, Nevada, a mile or so from the nearest trailhead. Looks bizarre--but I'm told it's part of a horse obstacle course. The idea is that you're supposed to ride up to the mailbox and open it all without getting off your horse--and without your horse freaking out! There is still some water standing from the heavy rains in March.

That would explain why it has an extraordinarily sturdy post.

Thanks, everyone! It's kind of surreal, at least till you find out what it's for. There are some other bizarre-looking features on the horse trail--e.g., a disembodied gate--that I'll post pix of one of these days.
