On April 19, 2008 around 8:00 a.m., the 2008 Wagonmaster will lead the mail wagon from Porterville to Springville following his route of choosing.  Riders from all over are welcome and encouraged to join the Wagonmaster by gathering at the parking lot across from the Porterville Fair Grounds on Olive Avenue.  All riders are to have their animals ready to leave by 8:30 a.m. if they wish to participate.  A police escort will be on hand to ensure everyone stays together and remains under control and safe to the other riders and on-lookers.

The route will be as follows:

The Wagonmaster will begin at the City Hall in downtown Porterville with his posse and the mail wagon and travel to the Porterville Elks Lodge on Main Street to load up the mail.  Then it's off to the Porterville Fair Grounds on Olive Avenue to meet up with dozens (or more) of riders that plan to follow the mail towards Springville.  From the Fair Grounds, the procession will continue south on Plano to Corona Drive that connects with Springville Drive shortly after.  Heading east on Springville Drive all the way to Road 284 that connects to Highway 190.  After a short break at Success Market, everyone will cross the Highway together and continue east towards Springville.  A lunch stop is planned at The Antlers.  After an extended rest to allow the animals and riders to regain some energy, the entourage continues up Hwy. 190 until they reach the Springville Rodeo Grounds.  This is the end of the trail for the public.  However, after a short break, the Wagonmaster and his posse will escort the mail wagon on into Springville where a gang of rebels are rumored to have plans of stopping the mail wagon.  It will be up to the Wagonmaster and his posse to protect the mail and deliver it safely to the Springville Post Office.
