===Rattlesnake Island===
[[Rattlesnake Island (Lake Erie)|Rattlesnake Island]] is an {{convert|85|acre|km2|sing=on}} island located on [[Lake Erie]] near Put-In-Bay, {{convert|11|mi|km}} northeast of [[Port Clinton, Ohio]], and had the only USPS-sanctioned local post operating in the United States. For many years, service was provided by way of a [[Ford Trimotor]] which shuttled mail between the island and the mainland. From 1966 to 1989, USPS mail was routed by way of Port Clinton, Ohio.   It was restarted in 2005 and ran till 2010 by the founder Dr. James Frackelton until passed away 11-30-2012. Outgoing mail from the island entered the USPS mail stream by way of [[Sandusky, Ohio]]. The RILP lay dormant until life long Port Clinton resident, Dave Gill relaunched the local post with the first new issue on 11-10-2022 of Commercial Vessels servicing the Lake Erie Islands. The next issue "Battle of Lake Erie" is scheduled for 9-10-2023, the 210 year anniversary of the battle. Griffing Flying Services has the RILP contract and is back in Port Clinton, Ohio at the same location as the 1966-1989 local post mail was serviced by. <ref>{{cite web| title=RI Local Post| publisher=Rattlesnake Island Club |url=http://www.rattlesnakeislandclub.com/Default.aspx?p=DynamicModule&pageid=230298&ssid=80709&vnf=1 |accessdate=2019-08-16}}</ref>
