    Exact description as reads ...

    Another rarity among Nevada markers -- a mapped plaque. Is it any coincidence the route resembles a mountain?

    View from across Idaho Street and the reconstructed Pony Express Station. If you have a few minutes to spare, take a walk through the museum, directly behind the Station, to relic at the history of this remote corner of Nevada.

    Nice added touch with the skull.
