Our Group of 9 horses/riders picked up the mochila at about 3:45 pm Thursday 6/13/2019 in Bridgeport, Nebraska. We slugged it out thru rain/shine/wind/daylight/Darkness down Highway 92 hitting the Nebraska/Wyoming State line, at approximately 10:00 pm. My Wife Jacquie, and myself love participating in this annual historic re-enactment!! Good Luck to all the riders and their horses this year!!

Had great weather and awesome rides just west of Farson, MM 114 to 112. The cut-across road between the La Barge Hwy and Granger that was the best! Dirt, no bottles to dodge, just one badger hole… in the road! Is amazing that we ride the same trail as the Pony Express, Oregon Trail, Mormon Trail, and California Trail!

I flew out on Sunday to Kansas City and made my way to Arleta’s to stay in Marysville! Flying into Kansas City I saw how much water was overflowing the Missouri. How awful for all those affected by the floods. We (Arleta, Alicia and I) leave early Monday morning to head to St. Joseph. The departure ceremonies do not start until 2:30, Continue Reading

My mom Carol Anderson was awarded her 30 year patch this year. I’m so proud of her. Her station is Oak NE, and mine is just a mile west of her. This was my 27 th year. Here are some pictures of us from Tuesday June 11th.
