STATUS: I've received word that the Kansas roads along the planned route are too muddy to navigate this year, so the Pony has diverted to the alternate route, just south of the planned route. These are safer roads for the support vehicles and Pony, both. The next station (blue dot) that the Pony will reach will be at Seneca, the Koch & Co. West, east lot. The map computer calculation will adjust here in a bit, so keep watching for a revised ETA!
