Ukiah,



Four
a Missent Ukiah, but unmarked. You needed to know where the towns are to see that this was missent. Covelo is 65 miles north of Ukiah and Cloverdale is 29.4 miles south of Ukiah. Posted 7/14/2017.



Fieldbrook,



Northspur,



and Covelo.

To all the posters in this group and especially, littleriverphil, I wish to state what I like about your postings. 1, I love reading the messages on the postcards when they are legible. 2, I always, liked reading about California, and the focus here on northern California just broadens my horizon of that state. 3. The postmarks. 4. The addressing of the cards and covers - some being so beautifully written and others leave me wondering how the post office was ever able to decipher the script. 5. Some simple but seldom seen items explaining how life was way back when. Thank you all.

July 15


1942 - St. Pierre & Miquelon to Ottawa, Canada


Registered mail with hard to find FRANCE LIBRE overprints.


1933 - Round the world - NYC to NYC

What first attracted me to this cover was the well-designed yellow stamp with well-struck postmarks. Wittnauer sponsored the pilot Wiley Post on many of his pioneering flights. The flight left New York on July 15 and returned in, what was then, record time on August 3. The address on the envelope, almost impossible to read is the same as the Fifth Avenue address as the senders' .

Good morning, two for today.
