Anyone can request that their letters or postcards be post marked with this special cancellation.

Saturday October 13, 2007 will be the first day this post mark will be available. A special event at Chantry Flat will be celebrating early Sierra Madre history with a focus on the pack trains, trails and camps of early Sierra Madre.
