Visit Instructions:
To post a log to an existing U.S. Post Office waymark, you will
need to post a picture of the front of the building, with the name
of the post office in the background if that is possible. Including
your gps device in the picture is not neccesary, but wouldn't be
cause for disapproval, as long as all other details of your log are
acceptable. If your Post Office has any unusual or unique features
that you feel others would enjoy viewing, additional pictures are
always welcome.
