On June 13th myself and 3 others visited the Pony Express Barn and Museum in Marysville, Kansas. We had a great time and thanks to that visit, my best friend John (from Glasgow, Scotland) and I were inspired to check out the re-ride. I called the Museum a few weeks later to get some information and mentioned I was writing an article about the experience and did. It may be of interest to you as well. So thankful we were inspired to check the Re-ride out! Pony Express 6.23 Story–Read, Continue Reading

So happy to be a part of this celebration of the Pony Express Re-Ride 2023. There was a wonderful turnout of people young and old. Vintage Firefly received lots of petting. My thanks to Richard Tatman and Gordon Crowder for transfering and placing the Mochila on my saddle. I appreciate their concern for our safety and providing my sister Carol Gsell and I with the safety of a “chase truck” on the streets of Folsom. It was a great ride and I look forward to doing it again.
