Some years ago the USPS tried to cancel these mail contracts in the Idaho backcountry. They offered the backcountry customers a free mailbox in McCall, Idaho. Not very acceptable, considering the fact that some of them had to drive 50 or 60 miles on gravel roads to get to McCall. They only make the trip once or twice a month. The push back was strong enough that the management in Washington DC backed off and scrapped the proposal.
Welllll, this area IS within the largest section of contiguous wilderness in the lower 48 at 2.67 million acres. I’m sure there are other areas of other states where it’s logistically sensible too though.

This is crazy !!! I love it.
Beautiful place.
Alaska, that's how we get all of our mail.....
All from bethel too
This would be dream living right here. ❤
I'd definitely bring all the beer he wants when I get my Maule going 😁
Lottery dreams right there. Or any other way I can get there and be living out there like that. Keep on grinding.
Wish you luck as well as myself because it will take a lottery win to get there for us👊🙏😎
Just need one good armored car heist and she's all yours!!! The down side could be free room and board for a few years.

Ernie Gibson, bush pilot of Stehekin, Washington flew a beaver floatplane.$25.00 dollars both ways in 1980.
They also deliver mail by jet boat up the Snake and Salmon rivers.
Sweet bush planes

That's sweet!
Never wanted to be a mailman so badly.
I wanna land there someday!

Well how else would you get it that far out in the country. Glad we still have spots like this in the states
Most if not ALL usps is flown by the airline that started air mail services American Airlines
Are you on drugs? AA was not the original air mail carrier. And even today, all major airlines carry mail.
