So much more interesting than the "notebook in a box" that most summits have in the U.S.

... this album. From now on, I will take a photo to the mailbox when I find it.
A question: Is the album only for mailboxes or courious summit landmarks can be included?

pics...one from >Indian Peak Utah:

there are a lot of peaks in Utah with mailboxes on them. Flat Top, Delano, Ellen, Santaquin, Swasey and Spanish Fork are a few peaks with them I can think of off the top of my head but there are others. Wheeler Peak in Great Basin National Park has a mailbox and Washington state has one on what is aptly called as Mailbox Peak.

Hello Luiso
En un principio el album iba a ser de buzones, pero creo que tambien podrian entrar las cajas de firmas y todo ese tipo de cosas.

Dean, thank you for the information. I can attach the photos to this album?

Thank you for your comments
