Imagine you live in the year 1860 with vast wilderness and wide-open plains between Missouri and California. You're one of the chosen riders on top of a horse with a mochila strapped on your saddle, navigating along the trail where unknown dangers lay ahead.
You're not on a leisure trip, you're one of a team of boys and young men traveling 1,966 miles in ten days on horseback, delivering mail to and from the West.

The Pony Express Re-Ride 2017 is almost in the history books. The mochila (mailbag) was transferred to a rider at the Nevada/California state line at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday night. That rider then went down Pioneer Trail to Echo Summit.

Just as they did in 1860, the Pony Express riders will carry the U.S. Mail during their annual re-ride that comes through South Lake Tahoe this summer.
Mail will be carried by horseback by over 700 riders from St. Joseph, Missouri, through Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada and California between June 15 and June 25, 2015. The annual re-ride of the famous Pony Express takes the same number of days as it did 155 years ago: 10 days.
