My pics with a pocket camera don’t compare to the others you’ve received, but you asked if I would send you mine from this years re-ride. I don’t know any of the riders by name, as I’m just a spectator, but love to watch the riders, horses, and support folks. Maybe the Utah riders & other photographers can help identify those I’ve captured in my pics.

I had planned on taking my pics near This Is The Place Heritage Park & the mouth of Emigration Canyon, after driving down from Ogden. Even though I was in the area about an hour + earlier than the 7PM estimate, it wasn’t until about 6:30PM that a jogger told me he had observed the riders at least an hour prior; good for riders, bad for me, oops!

I was able to catch up to the mochila along East Canyon Reservoir (Utah State Road 65). Based on her report, I believe my first pic is of Cindy Furse & Tesla having just passed my location. Unfortunately, I fumbled with the camera and missed a good shot of her approaching my location. I’ll have to sharpen my skills on multi-tasking; enjoying the moment AND taking the pic! The 3 remaining pics are of the mochila arriving at Milepost 22, Utah State Road 65. Kudos to everyone that made this re-ride happen!

My last 3 pics. The first is of the mochila leaving Milepost 22, Utah State Road 65, south of Henefer. The last 2 pictures were taken in Henefer, at Main Street & Frontage Road (between the Weber River & Interstate-84). The time of the last 2 pics was @ 7:40PM.

Thanks again, to everyone involved, for a great job & a great show!

Here’s my last 3 pics (this time from my cell phone), also taken on Sunday, 15 JUN 2014. They are of the Re-Ride Team just entering Henefer on East Canyon Road (SR 65) near the Henefer Pioneer Trails Park. Time was @ 7:35PM & about 3-1/2 hours ahead of schedule!

Thanks again to everyone for their hard work and dedication in keeping the Pony Express history alive!
