The building is a 1975 replica and not typical of Pony Express structures in UT and NV. For one thing, it has a roof--many did not.

One was a covered hole in the ground. Another was a dugout hillside with a protected front--shelter from caveman days.

Although the Pony Express lasted through one winter, several stations provided only windbreaks where men lived like animals.

The truck is westbound on the gravel road leading to Fish Springs and Callao, the same route used by the Pony Express and later the Lincoln Highway.
