The Pony Express is running!

[valley ranch]

The Pony Express trail today is Highway 50, where it best worked for wagons and today graded and paved for modern traffic, at times over the exact trail used by the riders.

Following Highway 50 from end to end could be interesting as would old Route 66. Most of the old stations are still there.
There are several famous paths and trails that are now roads or Highways, maybe one near you.

Years ago I was driving old Pacific Coast Hwy, it was a very foggy night, I stopped behind a vehicle, a man with a flash light came and asked "where was I going?" I said I was on Hwy 1 or Pacific Coast Hwy. He told me I was entering a military installation, this hadn't been Highway 1 for as long as he could remember.
