Located 12 miles from Pacific Springs Station and 15 miles from Little Sandy Station on the west bank of Dry Sandy Creek and just south of the old Emigrant Road. http://www.expeditionutah.com/featured-trails/pony-express-trail/wyoming-pony-express-stations/

Sources generally agree on the identity of Dry Sandy as a relay station, although it is not mentioned as a station on the 1861 Overland Mail Company contract.  A young Mormon couple managed station operations at Dry Sandy Station, which Franzwa specifically identifies as a Pony Express site.  http://www.nps.gov/parkhistory/online_books/poex/hrs/hrs6a.htm#83
