STATUS: Alas, the SPOT GPS device is not working again. We cannot get a support vehicle back into the area where the Pony is due to bad roads. We will be monitoring things and let you know when there is a change. As of last ping, the Pony was running about 4 hours behind to Shelbourne Rest Area.

STATUS: About 15 minutes ago, the Pony passed by the historic Jacob's Well Pony Express Station location (not an exchange point on the map). Consider that the Pony and riders are at about 6000 feet elevation as they ride through these mountains! Go Nevada Pony!

STATUS: Trail Reports have been slow to come in due to the troublesome conditions that the Nevada Riders are encountering. They have been winching lots of vehicles, including the HAM reporters', out of the quagmire regularly. We want everyone to stay safe out there! Hopefully, we will have reports after-the-fact a bit later. It sounds like there could be some good ones! Stay tuned.......

STATUS: The map tracker seems to be experiencing some technical difficulties on calculations, but the Pony Icon should still be accurate.
