Our adventures on the Pony Express trail were great fun
Our adventures on the Pony Express trail, done a number of years ago for our 25th wedding anniversary, were great fun and very enlightening.
What else would you do to celebrate 25 years of marriage but try to trace some of the history and historic sites of the Old West? In our case, the year was 1992, we had just bought a new-to-us station wagon, and we had some vacation time to combine with a long weekend. At the time, I had been reading about Buffalo Bill Cody (William F. Cody, that is) and happened to read about his early years as one of the original Pony Express riders. Mrs. Hoppy and I immediately knew we had a fun trip to organize for our anniversary celebration.

Old Hoppy, Mrs. Hoppy wish you Merry Christmas!
Nothing much to say here, except a very, very Merry Christmas wish to all of you who choose to spend any of your time hanging out here. If you take a good look around and read our “About” page, you’ll understand that life in the Old West, both all the fables and true tales about real people, are a lifelong interest of mine. (You’ll also find a brief explanation of why I use the name “Old Hoppy” here.)
