Old Man of the Mountain, NH

Molly sent me this card on July 14, 2011, Postcrossing's 6th birthday.

Old Man of the Mountain is located in Franconia Notch, New Hampshire. The postcard reads:

One of the world's most famous natural profiles. It is also called the Great Stone Face. It was immortalized in a short story by Nathaniel Hawthorne and has appeared on a US postage stamp. The face measures 48 feet from chin to forehead.

It came with these stamps:

American Clock together with 2 Forever stamps of the Statue of Liberty and American flag

Real Train Stories

RTS

Fast and cheap are how people might describe travelling through the railway. One can get from end to end, give or take 30 minutes. And in that half hour, anything can happen. People take the train to get to somewhere. Some people take the train to get to somewhere fast so they do crazy stuff because they do not tolerate tardiness.

So they push people. Shove people. Race for seats. Yell. Shout. Get harassed. Scold. Berate. Talk to strangers. Make new friends. You get the picture. It's a crazy mode of transportation, the train. And my friends have convinced me to compile my real train stories just because I have too much of them.
