Delivering the Mail

Well folks, as I said I have inserted the stuff. It was always an alternate mission if a suitable casche could be located. I always swore that I wouldn't do so but when the occasion arose, duty took over. We found a casche in a wooded area and with no one around. I called it in and asked for the "Sandia". We located a suitable LZ, actually a hole in the canopy they lowered the material through, and waited for our delivery. They kept refering to the material as "the mail". Just before the arrival I got a message to save the mail bags. I presumed they were referring to the bags that the material was delivered. As it turned out they delivered the material in two mail bags with "U.S. Mail" stenciled on them How clandestine can you be? That night the mail bags actually came in handy since it was drizzling and cold and the indig took turns using them for sleeping bags.
