Red Hawk Casino Pays More | PLACERVILLE . INFO

New Deal with State will make the Shingle Springs Tribe the Biggest contributor to the state fund of any other Indian Casino.

The new Red Hawk Casino in El Dorado County, has agreed to pay the state the largest share of slot machine winnings of any tribe in California.  Those percentages exceed any other Indian compact in the state, according to Aaron McLear, a spokesman for the governor.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger announced today the signing of an amended compact with the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians.  The amended compact provides important benefits to the state, protects both patrons and employees, enhances collaboration between local government and the tribe, and provides for environmental mitigations.

"This compact is a good deal for state, the local community and the tribe," said Gov. Schwarzenegger.  "The agreement will provide significant revenues to the state, protections for both workers and patrons, and for mitigation for the off-reservation impacts of gaming."

Pony Express Mail Today | PLACERVILLE . INFO

RE-RIDE YEAR 2008 SCHEDULE
NATIONAL PONY EXPRESS ASSOCIATION
SACRAMENTO , CALIFORNIA - ST. JOSEPH, MISSOURI
JUNE 18 - 28, 2008

The National Pony Express Association will once again conduct a Re-Ride of the Pony Express Trail from St. Joseph, Missouri, to Sacramento, California, June 18 to 28, 2008.

This re-ride will be a 10-day, 24-hour a day, non-stop event by over 500 riders and horses. The 1,966 mile route will be over the Pony Express National Historic Trail from California, through Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, Nebraska, Colorado, and Kansas to Missouri.  It is the longest event held annually on a historical trail in the nation, even surpassing the famed Iditarod.

The event commemorates the Pony Express of 1860-1861. The Central Overland and California Pikes Peak Express Company carried letters and telegrams for 19 months to prove the Central Route through Salt Lake passable year round. The owners hoped to win a federal mail contract on that route. Pony Express history is preserved in the federally designated Historic Trail, administered by the National Park Service, in museums, Pony Rider monuments, books, and the annual re-creations by the NPEA.

Riders will carry Commemorative Letters in a Mochila, Pony Express style. The cachets, honoring Pony Express history, will be available for purchase by NPEA members, historians, and philatelists. The envelopes will show they were carried by the Pony Express and the first class postage will have a special US Postal service cancellation. Only the number of letters purchased will be carried.

Communications between Riders and Ride Captains are provided by amateur radio operators in the states of California, Nevada, and Utah. Links to their web pages are listed below. Also, for the first time, a GPS unit will be carried in one of the cantinas on the Mochila. The size of a deck of cards, the GPS unit will transmit the location of the Mochila every five minutes to a satellite. The unit will be active for the entire length of the Re-Ride. 

*** [ Anyone wishing to see the Pony Express riders should be aware that they may be anywhere from two hours ahead to two hours behind schedule ! ] ***
