Express-Erfahrung<\/summary>\n<p>Eines meiner Lieblingsdinge ist, auf Menschen auf dem Trail zu treffen, wenn man lange keine andere Person gesehen hat. Ich mag den Informationsaustausch: Woher kommst du, wohin gehst du, wie weit ist dieses Wahrzeichen entfernt? Es gibt etwas an diesem einfachen Informationsaustausch \u2013 und die Aufregung dar\u00fcber, ihn zu bekommen, egal wie klein das Detail ist \u2013 das mich daran erinnert, wie es wohl gewesen sein muss, lange bevor wir sofortige Updates per E-Mail bekamen oder schnell anrufen oder schreiben konnten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Das fasziniert mich am Pony Express. Das Bed\u00fcrfnis nach Information und Verbindung war so gro\u00df, dass Menschen einen Weg fanden, \u00fcber Meilen und unbekannte Landschaften in Kontakt zu treten, lange bevor Technologie es m\u00f6glich machte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Der Pony Express wurde 1860 gegr\u00fcndet und war eine Gruppe harter junger Reiter, die \u00fcber die Ebenen zwischen St. Joseph, Missouri und San Francisco galoppierten. Post nach Kalifornien per Postkutsche oder Schiff konnte bis zu sechs Monate dauern. Der Pony Express konnte sie in 10 bis 16 Tagen dorthin bringen.&nbsp; Diese Art von Service war nicht billig. Es kostete 5 Dollar pro halbe Unze f\u00fcr Post (etwa 85 Dollar in heutiges Geld).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anfangs fuhr der Pony Express einmal pro Woche in jede Richtung.&nbsp; Sp\u00e4ter fuhr er eine zweite w\u00f6chentliche Fahrt, die Post in 10 Tagen oder weniger zwischen St. Joseph und San Francisco lieferte.&nbsp; Sie folgten dem kombinierten Oregon- und Kalifornien-Trail \u00fcber Nordostkansas, Nebraska und den gr\u00f6\u00dften Teil Wyomings, bevor sie dem <a href=\"https:\/\/windriver.org\/de\/portfolio\/mormon-trail\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mormon Road<\/a> am Ft. Bridger bis Salt Lake City. Reiter wechselten sich bei der Bef\u00f6rderung der Post zwischen Stationen ab, die 75 bis 100 Meilen auseinander lagen, und starteten sofort nach Ankunft der Post, das ganze Jahr \u00fcber und zu jeder Tages- und Nachtzeit. Die Reiter wechselten ihre Pferde an Wechselstationen alle 10 bis 15 Meilen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Der Pony Express war damit beauftragt, wichtige Nachrichten wie die Wahl und Vereidigung von Pr\u00e4sident Lincoln und fr\u00fche Informationen zum B\u00fcrgerkrieg zu verbreiten. Doch aufgrund der hohen Kosten und der Fertigstellung eines Telegrafensystems endete er nur wenige Monate, nachdem er im November 1861 begonnen hatte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Der Trail durch Wind River Country ist derselbe wie der <a href=\"https:\/\/windriver.org\/de\/portfolio\/oregon-trail\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Oregon<\/a> und <a href=\"https:\/\/windriver.org\/de\/portfolio\/california-trail\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kalifornien<\/a> Trails. Wenn ich die Trails von Wind River Country erforsche, denke ich sofort an die Pioniere, die nach Oregon und Kalifornien unterwegs waren. Aber es gibt etwas Romantisches darin, sich den einsamen Reiter vorzustellen, der \u00fcber die Pr\u00e4rie galoppiert, mit einer Posttasche, einem Wassersack und einem Gewehr sowie wichtigen Informationen.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\" name=\"experience\"><summary>South Pass Gold Rush Days<\/summary>\n<p>Seht Pony Express Reiter, wie sie die \u00dcbergabe der Mochila, der Posttasche, von einem Reiter zum anderen nachstellen, w\u00e4hrend <a href=\"https:\/\/windriver.org\/de\/portfolio\/south-pass-city-historic-site\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gold Rush Days in der South Pass City State Historic Site<\/a> das zweite Wochenende im Juli.
