The Pony Express Re-Riders carry the mail as they travel 1,800 miles from St. Joseph, Missouri to Sacramento, California.  The Pony Riders will travel day and night to make the 10 day trip.  There is a GPS (SPOT tracker) that is carried in the Mochila, which sends a “ping” to a satellite every five minutes.  This ping is then marked as a Pony Rider Icon on the larger NPS Map, below, for you to see the Re-Ride progress.

[Other Stories and Status Updates can be found on this page:  Reports from the Trail.]

This first Map records the “ping” received by the satellite, directly from the Mochila that is on the Current Rider’s Horse.  Time is recorded in Pacific Time (PT).  This ping is then  recorded on the NPS map, the second one below, for you to see the whole Re-Ride.
