HOW Day 6
Lehi, UT to Wendover, UT
We rode down the Pony Express Trail for over 100 miles!
“It is amazing to see the terrain that these young men rode across on their half broken wild stallions. Those were the only horses with the stamina and speed to cover he distances they had to run, and they were also the only ponies that could outrun the indians’ horses! We rode over Lookout Pass as we travelled westward on the Pony Express Trail. There were regularly spaced Stations along the Pony
Express Trail where the riders could change horses on their journey across the west!
Continuing on, we rode across the Fish Springs National Wildlife Refuge. The trail then wound around the Dugway Proving Grounds.
We made our way across the mountains and through the Gold Hill Ghost Town then headed west into Nevada before catching Hwy 93 in to West Wendover, Nevada. Our ride finished up in Wendover, Utah, our stop for the evening.”

We also took a detour off the Pony Express trail which was full of washes and was the toughest section of road I have done on a big trail motorcycle. We all made it through and it became a strong discussion subject in the evening and we all agreed that “what doesn’t kill us make us stronger”.
Our Ride today was 260 miles and there was lots of desert sand and dust.
