STATUS: We had the website crash for a couple hours or so, but are back online now. At 3:37pm PDT, the Pony rode by the Railroad Pass exchange station, running about an hour 37 minutes behind schedule. This group of ponies are running like their tails are on fire and continue to make up time. Next station: Cold Springs, Nevada. GO PONY!!

STATUS: The Pony is struggling a bit in central Nevada, running late. There was an unplanned, but thankfully, short-lived diversion that occurred. We are told that some fresh horses are just ahead, so we anticipate they will make up some time as the Pony progresses toward the Railroad Pass Exchange Station. Stay tuned to the map. The calculation keeps changing as more and more data (rider mph/time) is input into it. So, the estimated arrival time will become more and more accurate as the Rider gets closer to the next station.

STATUS: A suggestion from the Stablemaster: Choose a different basemap (third icon down with 4 squares, on upper right of map, ) to see the terrain that the Pony is covering in a different way. I'd suggest the Imagery choice. This allows you to appreciate the mountain ranges, narrow passes and vertical rises and descents that the Pony is having to navigate through this part of the Re-Ride. GO PONY!
