The Pony Express will ride again in June for annual re-enactment.

In addition to being able to see the riders along various parts of the trail — including Lake Tahoe — it’s possible to have a letter delivered this way.

Mail will be carried by horseback by more than 700 riders from St. Joseph, Mo., through Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada and California between June 15-25. This is the same number of days it took 155 years ago. Riders will come through the South Shore on their way to Sacramento.

For $5 letter may be carried. Each will receive a special commemorative postmark. For more info, go online.
