July 23, 2014 - Tenderfoots who have travelled with us for a while on the Long & Dusty Trail know that our (formerly) faithful correspondent Miss Becca annually departs from her beloved UK chicken ranch to visit Maine, USA. This summer, Miss Becca seems to have re-invented herself in Maine (abandoning the gritty and disreputable  postavant) as some kind of Naval artist, doing portraits of ships, whaling adventures, oceanic storms etc. As with all things she does, this “sailor art” has brought her great success and accolades. Unfortunately, she has abandoned us; she would not be the first.

Without rancor and certainly not with a taste for revenge (in having been abandoned for “sailor art”), we are thrilled to share a wonderful mail-art package Miss Becca made last summer (2013) in Maine (but never before blogged!). She assembled an amazing, cohesive narrative that requires little commentary from the land lubbers at the Mink Ranch. The photos, we believe, are absolutely priceless:
