Ruby Valley Pony
Express Station (Reconstructed)

"I keep thinking about this marker. Nice reconstruction, nice location! But ... wouldn't be better at its original location in Ruby Valley? For lovers of dirt roads like myself, it would be. For the average family sedan on the family roadtrip, probably not. Fine. I will eat my ballcap should this reconstruction ever receive a dose of spray paint." -- May 2009
