Package upgrade at Encampment USPS

Encampment resident Robert Kelly is getting more mail since U.S. Postal Service representatives visited Encampment in September.

Before their visit, Kelly estimated Encampment Postmaster Wendell O’Connell returned about 50 percent of his mail to a distribution center in Cheyenne.

USPS has made vast improvements to service in Encampment, Kelly said. But, overall, he is not satisfied.

“For me, it’s too little too late,” Kelly said.

Kelly and many other Encampment and Riverside residents protested O’Connell’s employment at the Encampment Post Office through letters and attending meetings.
