Strevell Arrow, Idaho #1 - a photo on Flickriver

            The Strevell arrow was used as a navigation aid for early air mail pilots before the days of radar or other electronic navigation aids.  There were arrows like this scattered along many air mail routes, and each had a beacon tower on the square concrete pad.  The other blocks housed fuel and a generator to power the beacon.  This one was at Strevell, Idaho which is now a ghost town.  The building in the distance is all that remains of Mary's Cafe.
