How cool. I can remember reading a couple of books about the Pony Express when I was a kid. I wonder if I imagined the buildings looked like this. ;)

That is definitely a blast from the past to be thinking about the pony express. Can you imagine having that assignment to ride a horse carrying the mail across all those miles? Unbelievable.

It's hard to imagine how difficult it was to ride the Pony Express. Fine pictures.

I love these old buildings and the history behind them. If they could only see how we get mail now! Have a nice week, Beth!

Toadstool is near Chadron. It is the Nebraska badlands. Really cool geographical formations. Here is a link.http://www.nebraskatravels.com/toadstool-geologic-park.html

We had dinner at "Pyramid Lake Resort". We were camping at the Wapiti campground within Jasper National Park. We were so happy to find the restaurant ...some times we just head thinking we want to find the 1st great looking place to try out. & thankfully this was a great pick, check out these views we got to see while eating this fabulous meal. This meal was one of the best meals we had all of our whole Canadian trip. It was a amazing!! 1. appetizer, 2. I had halibut, 3. hubby had elk, and 4. was the pyramid chocolate yummyness. it was delicious!! Are you now hungry? Beth ( :
