The senders are from Roseburg, but this card comes from Clarno, an unincorporated community in northern Oregon. On the back of the card it says, "The Clarno area contains towering pinnacles and palisades of ancient volcanic mudflows. The 37 to 54-million year old Clarno Formation is world famous for deposits of fossilized nuts, seeds, and large mammals."
Mölln is a small city of about 20 000 located in northern Germany. The Elbe-Lübeck Canal flows through the town, and there are eight small lakes that surround the city. It was founded in the 12th century and was a part of the Old Salt Route. Salt that was produced in the salt mines of Lower-Saxony was shipped to the Baltic Sea. Till Eulenspiegel, a legendary trickster known for exposing vices and provoking thought, is said to have lived in Mölln the last year of his life. He apparently died of the plague in 1350, but his existence has never been proven. Mölln has several monuments dedicated to him.
