Upon driving up to the office of Benny's Colville Inn one will almost fall over this mailbox. Benny's is at 915 S. Main in Colville. Everyone we asked about motels in town recommended it. So do we.

The mailbox has been remade into the likeness of a fish. What kind of fish I couldn't say, but with both eyes looking upward one first thinks of a halibut or a sole. The body, however, doesn't fit that proposition.
If one should wonder why a fish was chosen as the target for the remake, that wonder will dissipate immediately upon entering the lobby. The walls are covered with various species of fish. Seems Benny is a bit of a fisherman and has had some of his thousands of catches mounted and hung at the motel. There are dozens and dozens of varieties, from small sea trout to huge marlin. It's a veritable fish museum!!!
