Current Goal

10/28/2005 - Looks like the Colonel has hit the west pretty hard and needs a change of scenery. He's not picky, take him anywhere you go.

Thanks

Just for old-times sake, I want to ride through the states of the old Pony Express. The present day states of Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, and California before I return to the town bearing my name; Cody, WY.

About This Item

Buffalo Bill TB

William F. "Buffalo Bill" Cody was born in Iowa in 1846. In 1859, he tried his luck as a prospector in the Pikes Peak gold rush, and the next year, joined the Pony Express, which had advertised for "skinny, expert riders willing to risk death daily." Already a seasoned plainsman at age 14, Cody fit the bill. After 143 years it's time to let Buffalo Bill ride the Pony Express again. For more info see:

Cody's still gotta visit Colorado, Nebraska, and Kansas. I've run across both a cache and a Travel Bug named Pony Express not too long ago.

We found Col. Cody on a bluff overlooking the Pacific. He's obviously lost. He needs to get back to the wild west. Bob

Although a bit further south, this guy is in a quick-grab cache right along the 101. Hopefully someone heading up to SF will stop by and take him along. Meanwhile, he's enjoying an awesome view right on a cliff overlooking the Pacific.

Interesting TB. We'll drop him off somewhere soon so he can keep his journey north going.

We didn't want to hold onto the coin as long as we did, but our truck conspired to be uncooperative for a while. We had assumed we'd place the coin in a cache at Cold Spring Tavern a few weeks ago, but when it stopped starting in Ventura, that dream was slightly crushed.. Luckily, even with the truck down, we still ended up in the area and placed it into the cache, taking it to another stage stop. But it really does need to head north to get to the pony express stops, and we noted it in the log at the cache. The good news is that this is one of the more common bypasses heading northward, though slightly off the main path. Thanks for putting out this travel bug, and we'll be watching to see it make it's journey, and return home.
