Pony Express (Foust to Eureeeeeka)

[DOSS]

Well this is the short version as people have asked for pics Sam, Mason and I each took 1 dog and 1 child with us and ran 475? Miles of dirt road on the Pony express route last weekend.
We started out on Thursday afternoon and hot tailed it over to Gold hill to set up camp 1

Carnage don't ask

Day 2 started with Gas from the Ibapah Trading post Then Over to Cherry Creek NV for a noon beer (with some stops in between to look at some interesting things)

Take it your end point must not be Eureka, UT? Can you explain more where you started/ended?

Well we Officially started in Foust but really we met up at Cal Ranch in Tooele.. From there we headed over to Eureka staying on the PE as much as humanly possible (Even crossing Goshute no trespassing road without knowing.. we found out on the way back when we got pulled over.. I guess they have some issues with poachers so to drive on it you have to have permission). Once to Eureka we headed back VIA ely NV and then to Ibapah and back home
