From Holbrook, AZ to Scottsdale in the dead of winter (it's a 2 day ride). You can send mail to Holbrook for them to deliver (after they hand stamp it and carry it on horseback to Scottsdale, it goes into the regular mail and can be sent anywhere). I learned all this from the owner of Young's Tavern in Holbrook, who is one of the riders! Did you know the Pony Express still rides once a year?
