Bennington said riders who volunteer with the association carry $5 commemorative letters -- the same price paid in 1860.

Umm ..... Not quite.

"What cost $5.00 in 1860 would cost $117.97 in 2009."

The Pony Express trail was only about 12 miles north of where our farm was in Eureka, NV. You could still easily make out where the trail was - it required no hard-core tracking skills.
