Artist Notes
This is the only photo taken on the 1000 mile trip. The path that you see is part of the Pony Express Trail.


Young Pony Express trail riders sat atop the fastest horses available and carried the mail in a special pouch saddle called a "mochila." Each Pony Express trail rider would cover a certain distance to a relay station, where the next would grab the mochila and continue the journey across the Pony Express trail, until two thousand miles of wilderness had been crossed. Because speed was so important and extra weight avoided, the Pony Express trail riders were usually small men or boys armed with pistols instead of a rifle. Conflict with Native Americans, gangs of robbers and other troublemakers were common, and numerous riders died in the line of duty along the Pony Express trail.

I am a retired teacher, coach and athletic director. While my wife, Judy, and I were teaching she had a photo studio, and I had a dark room where I did black and white and color. Some was for the studio while most of it was just a hobby. When we retired in 2000, we sold our house in Eastern Washington and moved onto our boat, Last Class, and our motorhome. We sold Last Class a few years ago and bought a small house in Yuma, Arizona and this year bought one in Emmett Idaho. Now we spend the summers in Emmett and the winters in Yuma. Over our 50 years of marriage, we have always had an interest in photography and still do.
