Ravendale is an unincorporated community in Lassen County, California. It is located 7 miles (11 km) southeast of Termo, at an elevation of 5305 feet (1617 m). According to Rand McNally, it is 54 driving miles to the county seat, Susanville, the only city in the county, and about the same distance to Alturas.

The Ravendale US post office opened in 1910, closed in 1920, and re-opened in 1921. The ZIP Code is 96123. ~source

This community most likely sprung up from the former Nevada-California-Oregon Railroad that passed through here at the turn of the nineteenth century. The railroad hasn't existed since the early 1990s and the rails and ties removed years later.

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.
