Today I experienced the sort of adventure I'm hoping we find many times over as we travel the back roads of this great country. I started out going to the grocery store. Rather normal and somewhat unremarkable until I leave the store and what do I see but 2 horses or ..?.. I'm not sure what they are attached to a wagon, tied up to a telephone pole. WELL, having just read about a fellow who is traveling by horses and a homemade "RV" wagon, I had to find out more. Turns out this wasn't the same man but 2 locals who have assorted animals, these 2 being Mules, nice brown mules. If only I had my camera! They were just taking a Saturday ride to the local Burger King, but they do go to what they called "Mule Days", and the owner of the wagon said he sleeps in his wagon there. The older gentleman was quite a character. He said he likes to pull up to a car at a red light and ask directions to a town over the mountains about 200 miles away. He said they always look at him in disbelief until they see the merriment in his eyes and they all have a good laugh.
They also told me to look up Turtle Island Preserve on the web which was founded by a local man. Quite interesting! Eustice Conway is a naturalist who lives off the land and loves it. He has mules and horses and uses them to accomplish what he needs. Take a look and you will be amazed too.
