This fine dark-brick Post Office serves Fritch (population about 2000) and the surrounding area. There is a fairly large parking lot, with handicapped parking spaces right by the entrance.
This part of the Texas Panhandle is dominated by undulating canyons and draws. Fritch sits on a relatively flat piece of land, at very nearly the geographic center of the panhandle, surrounded by this rugged terrain. The population is about two thousand, and the main nearby attraction is Lake Meredith, which was formed in 1965 by the construction of a dam. Fritch has had some bad luck recently; in 1992 a multivortex F4 tornado devastated the town, and in 2014 a fast-moving wildfire swept through town. Fortunately there was no loss of life in either event, but there was significant property damage and as a result many structures in town (including this Post Office) are new.

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.
