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.

STATUS: The Pony continues to travel through Nevada, diverting to routes that are passable for the Pony and support vehicles. Lots of water and muddy areas to work around. They continue to maintain a timely pace, still on schedule to arrive at Grubb's Well as planned.

STATUS: The Pony is approaching Cold Springs Station, NV. Continuing on, be aware that the roads are impassable in some areas, so expect some diversions in the route. The Pony will take the safest way it can. If the diversion is too far off the Expected Route, there may be an absence of Pony icons on the map for a time. The Nevada Riders know what they are doing. As you see the Pony icons get closer together, they are going up or down hill. When they hit the flat, the Pony icons spread out a bit, as the horse can stretch out and go faster.
