The Pony Express
The post mark you see on the front page is our interpretation
of a Scottsdale Arizona Postmark. It does not represent the current
date, though it is the date we published this site.
Speaking of the postal service, did you know the Pony
Express is alive and well...

Knife Pony Express

The Hashknife Pony Express makes its ride every January traveling
200 miles from Holbrook to Scottsdale, Arizona, and delivering 20,000
first-class letters by horseback. The ride is led by the Navajo
County Hashknife Sheriff's Posse. More than two dozen riders in
authentic cowboy clothing carry the mail, relaying the bags along
the route. The arrival of the Hashknife Pony Express in Scottsdale
kicks off the annual Parada del Sol.
