Other Information

It is not possible to determine if this was a black back ground or a red back ground Mail Pouch sign.

As can be determined from Photos 2 & 3-5 this sign is very difficult to see from the highway.

Wyatt Coburn visited the site in July 2023 and has reported that the sign is faded away.
