Good morning everyone. You've heard me talk about the overland xpedition company I started, Get Lost Xpeditions, and today I'm here to tell you about our first trip, The Pony Xpress Xpedition. The dates for this are June 8-th15th.
The Pony express was a relay of horse mounted riders that would carry mail nearly 1800 miles between Missouri and California in just 10 days! On this Xpedition, we'll be traversing part of the original route through Utah. In addition to this, we will be exploring places such as Bonneville Salt Flats, driving through a railroad tunnel, spotting bison on Antelope island, driving across The Great Salt Lake, visiting the famous Promontory Point, and more!
The price per vehicle for this trip will be $1,000. When you sign up, you will be added to an xpedition group chat to meet and talk with other guests. We will also be having an in person pre trip meet, bonfire style Saturday May 7th. Included in the price is an xpedition specific decal and patch, as well as a flash drive that contains history on places we will be visiting on the trip. Included in the price is the admission to Antelope Island State Park, and Golden Spike state park. Price goes towards permits needed, as well as insurance, materials, ect.
New and looking for gear? We've teamed up with Overland Vehicle Systems and MidlandUSA to help you get the gear you need for the trail. Overland Vehicle Systems has anything from camp lights to roof top tents, and Midland has amazing communication equipment to help keep you connected on the trail. I recommend the MXT275.
