We ignored the sign and went on riding the road as we did not have any other way to get to our next stop. About2 miles down the road we found out why the road was closed. The bridge had washed away. So the group had to get off our bikes, wade across the stream and climb back up the other side.
The on the other side was an electric fence used to keep the cows in a pasture. So we had to take down the wire (ouch) put our bikes over the fence and then put the wire back.
We knew we were on the Pony Express Trail when we found our first monument.
This was where the riders exchanged horses. the stable was shut down in 1964 after an Indian raid.
Some parts of the Pony Express Trail also was where the Orgeon Trail went.
The Oregon Trail was use by settlers going from Kansas to Oregon by covered wagon.
