The Extraterrestrial Highway is officially known on maps as Nevada State Route 375. 375 is the back door to Area 51. And on that highway is the town of Rachel, population 54. A mile or two past Rachel is an abandoned gas station. One mile beyond that gas station is the Black Mailbox. Nobody knows who put it there. Some say it first appeared around 1949 some time after the Roswell incident. Legend has it that at time it bore the name of a Steve Medlin. Who was he? No one knows. The Black Mailbox an artifact of sorts, it’s been hijacked by vandals, painted white then black again, blown to pieces with shotguns. But it always reappears.
