Geocache Description:


Welcome to the pony express trail. this will take you on a trip along the pony express trail. Enjoy the trail. This section Highlights the men who ran the main stations, and live along the trail.

Mike Holton - Station tender at Egan's Station. A war party of Indians surprised Holton and rider Nicholas Wilson at breakfast and compelled them to spend the day making all of their flour into bread, then tied the two to a stake to be roasted alive. They were rescued just in time by rider William Dennis and a troop of United States dragoons.

Remember to get clear of the roadway, some of the early ones that may be tricky, and may require a drop-off and a walk to grab. Know when to skip some and come back to them later.

If you have the chance pick up some trash on your way, help keep the route clean for those that come along later. Plus keeping the trash down means a lower chance of a clean up crew carrying your caches off.
