This was taken at Schellbourne, Nevada on June 12th, where they were celebrating 150 years of the Pony Express. Members of the National Pony Express Club do a reride every year from Sacromento,Calfiornia to St Joseph, Missouri along the same route that the original riders took and exchange the mail, the way it was done a hundred and fifty years ago. They carried what they called the mochilla {mail bags}filled with the letters of loved ones. The pony express only ran about a year, then the mail route ended when the telegraph lines started up along the same route!

    That had to have been fun to watch. Nice catch. The way gas is going, maybe we all should do it the old way. Then maybe the prices would come down. hehe

  • It was a great day, thanks for your comment and your right we should go back to riding our horses!
