New postcards for my private collection.

Here they are!



Both of these postcards show Bodie, CA. It's a ghost town now, but it used be a gold mining town in the 1860s. The user that sent me these took the photos himself. More info on Bodie can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bodie,_California


Golden Spike National Historic Site: Located west of Brigham City, at Promontory Utah, the Golden Spike was driven on May 10, 1869 to celebrate the completion of the first transcontinental railroad.

First Entry into Postcrossing Blog Land

I've been a part of postcrossing.com for 592 days (as of this posting.) I love sending and receiving mail. I always try to send a card that is on the user's requested or favorites list. I hope that when someone gets my card, it puts a smile on their face because when I get a card, it puts a smile on my face.

For the last few months I've been scanning and uploading my received cards onto flickr 1 and flickr 2. Since I've already scanned and posted all of those, I'm not going to go through all my cards and post them on here. Starting today, I will start posting my new received cards on here for those who are interested in seeing them.
