A Contrast in Landmarks

IMG_5566

Over the last 2 weeks I’ve been talking to you about our little landmark post office, the Kaweah Post Office. It took a huge limb right through the roof, and it will cost money to restore the place. It is one of the few landmark buildings we have in Three Rivers, and we need to take care of it. Lots of people got involved, and my painting of it sold on eBay to raise money, a friend donated a large chunk of change, and another man hired me to paint it again and donated a pile of cash toward the project.

During the time of concentrating on our little landmark, Trail Guy and I took a weekend trip to Lake Tahoe. While there, we spent time at two different landmark buildings that just knocked my socks off.

Our cool little post office would disappear in the boat house to one of these summer mansions, and it is ALL WE HAVE!!

Welcome to Tulare County. Now go home and gloat.

Sigh. At least we don’t have to wait in line around here for parking, to buy gas, or at Starbuck’s (the closest one to me is about 32 miles away). So there.

  1. Second mansion photo reminds me of Kaweah Han …

    • Me too, Diane! That long recessed porch on the front. . . but this one makes Kaweah Han look like the poor step-child.
