Ride by Farson, Wyoming

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!

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.

It was a cool, clear, crisp night in the mid-50’s. Stark contrast to 2018’s 105 degree heat index for our day ride. The Keith County, Nebraska, Pony Riders gathered south of Paxton to begin our ride section. Bibles were stamped , ride pins were handed out, and the Pony Express Oath was administered to the riders. Rigs then went ahead to their assigned starting points and we waited for the mochila to arrive. The 10 PM scheduled time to depart became 11:55 PM. It’s easy to look at a map, Continue Reading
