69358. Post office. Morrill, Nebraska. Population: 946. Heading to Omaha today, but I keep stopping. I’ve driven a whopping 80 miles in the last two hours. Inadvertently, I’m actually on the Oregon Trail. Lots of historical sites along the route. Scottsbluff is my next town. #nebraska #rural #america #postoffice #thepostalproject #usps #architecture #vintage #cloudporn #blueskies #midwest #roadtrip #neverstopexploring

You’re either gonna get a: “why did you bring the mail back?” Or… “Why did you go over?
