Utah Team 2 had a beautiful day to carry the mail from Simpson Springs to Murray Park. 77 degrees, with a light breeze part of the day. Ok, it got hotter than that in some of parts of our ride across the desert, but not too bad. We started at the Simpson Springs Pony Express Station (shown in the first picture), and passed a nearby band of mustangs. Perhaps they were waiting their turn to be Pony Express ponies! (The original riders rode mustangs like these, apparently not too well broke, either.)
Our team received the mail about 10 minutes early, around 12:50 pm. Good start!
