At our 8am the Pony Express Members exchanged mochilla & rider at Grubbs Well Pony Express Station in Nevada.

Still carrying the 1,000 pieces of mail that was carried by our Kansas/Nemaha Pony Express 7 days ago through Seneca, Kansas.

(1360 gps miles from Seneca)

Grubbs Well Pony Express was built later in 1861 as an added stop for the grueling journey. The station was a teepee like structure of rough poles covered by rushes & grass.

There was fresh milk from a rare cow kept by the station attendant.

There was a 10'foot deep well & was open to anyone who could haul or stand the harsh alkaline water.

The Pony Express Mail that started in St.Joseph & came though Seneca has now crossed into Utah at 6:34am CST.

The National Pony Express page has random videos of the riders in action. The kids might enjoy!

The same mochilla saddle bag that our Nemaha Pony Express Members carried is still Sacramento bound.
