This is the Survival Guide. You have to get stamps on the back of this Guide. As soon as you have completed all the stamps which need to be collected in the 5 largest towns on the Pony Express Trail (Fernley, Fallon, Austin, Eureka and Ely) you can validate it and then you get the Certificate signed by the Governer.

I just HAVE to do this!

I am currently doing research on how long people needed to complete the challenge. I will let you guys know as i soon as i know more. But as a guess i would say a whole day as it is a 287-mile stretch from Fernley, Nevada to Baker, Nevada.

Dave's Plan is now the base of my planning. I will try to fit pony express and seqouia into his plan. I already had Lake Tahoe planned as a part of my Route 50 driving. So yes, it always was a priority.
