Philatelists, Post Masters and Park Lovers Rejoice

Do you still send mail of the non-e variety? If so, would you have any reason at all to send an international letter…ever? If so, read on.

As part of its Scenic American Landscapes Series, the USPS has unveiled two new international stamps: one of Zion National Park and one of Grand Teton National Park. Sounds like 70 people showed up to celebrate in Zion and 100 people turned out for the viewing in Moose, Wyo.. I hope those less-than-impressive numbers say more about the declining interest in stamp collecting or the sad state of the postal service or the lack of hors d’oeuvres and tasty beverages than they do about interest in our National Parks. If nothing else, these stamps will be tiny little ads for our stunning parks… to the three people overseas who actually get them on a letter.
