The only post office available in Black Forest. It is technically part of the Colorado Springs postal region. Black Forest is considered a town by all of the local residents, but is not incorporated so doesn't have the infrastructure in place to be 'Officially' named a town.

This office is part of the 'Contract Postal Units', a series of leased properties that allow for Postal Boxes, Stamp machines and other postal supplies to be purchased in a monitored facility, yet not under direct staffing of a Postal Service worker.

More than 5,000 "Contract Postal Units" are in operation across the United States.

The Postal Service picks up letters and packages daily at each location. It also supplies the CPU with the necessary counter, scales, computer equipment, training, advertising and signage. That leaves the operator to pay for any installation costs.

The operator must supply employees to run the service counter.

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.

A description of your Post Office is required, such as when it was built, history, outstanding or unique features, population of the city or town, just do a quick internet search and find an interesting bit of information about the city or town and add it to the long description, to make it more interesting. Even just adding in the population of the area can give others an idea of how many people this post office serves. This description should be at least three sentences.

If your Post Office has any unusual or unique features that you feel others would enjoy viewing, additional pictures are always welcome.
Including your gps device in the picture is not necessary, but wouldn't be cause for disapproval, as long as all other details of your log are acceptable.
