Notes

Postmark location unknown, name is covered by stamp. What remains is Mount, and then what might be an O, or a C, then an A, and the first obscured letter maybe a T, or an R. OAR, OAT, CAR, CAT. Maybe Mount Cardigan, but location doesn't make too much sense with regard to the contents of the postcard. Closer might be Mount Carrigain.
