We recently spent some time researching information about the original Pony Express. We learned many interesting facts that we will be sharing with you below. Then, we learned about a group that conducts a yearly, reenactment of the Pony Express. It is called The Hashknife Pony Express and it begins in Holbrook, Arizona! The same city that our pen pals live in!
