So happy to be a part of this celebration of the Pony Express Re-Ride 2023. There was a wonderful turnout of people young and old. Vintage Firefly received lots of petting. My thanks to Richard Tatman and Gordon Crowder for transfering and placing the Mochila on my saddle. I appreciate their concern for our safety and providing my sister Carol Gsell and I with the safety of a “chase truck” on the streets of Folsom. It was a great ride and I look forward to doing it again.
