Some of what you’ll see beyond the boondocks is historic, some is funny, some simply cannot be explained. With that disclaimer, I present, Scenes from……….beyond the boondocks:

Apparently they get mail beyond the boondocks, but who knows for how much longer. The new mailboxes shown in the picture below were, uh, some of the newer construction I saw beyond the boondocks.

There seem to be a lot of ranches beyond the boondocks, but I didn’t see a single person anywhere other than driving cars on the road.

  1. Some of those were pretty funny…the Meanwhile Ranch…really struck me funny as I thought about that old movie line…”meanwhile back at the ranch…”

  2. I love how you pay tribute to important memories….

  3. I really love all the mailboxes; interesting!

  4. Ha ha! The mailboxes are a form of expression-very cool. Those pix’d make a great coffee table book for the holidays.

  5. Loving the whimsical boondock artwork.

  6. These are some of your best shots, Russel. Gave me a great laugh for the day. “Meanwhile Ranch,” hmmm.
