Lake Geneva Siblings Spend Summers Delivering The U.S. Mail – By Boat

College-aged siblings Keith, Anna and Elle Vogt spend their summers as “mail jumpers” – following a long-time Lake Geneva tradition of delivering the U.S. Mail by way of a mail boat that never stops moving. The sibling’s mail route is a lake, where they deliver the post to mailboxes fastened to docks. Mail carriers jump from moving boat to dock – and back to moving boat again.
