LAURA AND LISA RIDE WITH THE PONY EXPRESS!
On June 7, 2010, the pony express began its 150th re-ride in Sacramento, California. Laura and Lisa carried the
mail for a 4-mile stretch on old Highway 50, now known as Green valley Road. It was a tough ride due to much
of it being paved with no shoulder. Grady was carrying the famous "mochilla" filled with cross-country mail. It
was great fun to be part of this little piece of history that happened right in our backyards! Many thanks to our
FABULOUS ground crew, Sue Walther, Denyse Desjardin and Kristin Cox. We love you!
