During my youth I encountered a team of mules my aunt and uncle had in the Meeker, Colorado area. They ran sheep on the flat top mountains in the area and I was fortunate enough to go with them a few summers and learn to ride and handle mules and horses. As they say, mules are the dumbest and the smartest animals alive. They will never put themselves in harms way but they rarely ever think about the person on their back. Great story about a time you will never forget. I never had any experiences with mules like that but other stories are roaming around in my mind just waiting for a chance to come out.

I spent a month up there working on gas wells. The wildlife acted as if we were not there but did keep there distance which made it prime opservation of deer, massive elk, and one small bear. I want to return to see the bison. Keep up the good work out there and in the mean time think of the abundent resource below you feet. Dont stop the development of gas but manage it. The Seep Ridge road project would make it nice to pack the family for a unforgetable outing. I love the Book Cliffs what a beauty. I spent a month up there working on gas wells.

Reminds me of the horses we took into Horseshoe lake that one year. Loved the story big brother, and having known you all my life, I can’t help but agree with the assesment at the end.

I guess knowing you counts for the video in our minds and allows us certain embelleshments that those who might not know you as we do can picture :) Great story! I think you probably have enough memories for a small but very entertaining book if the "Harris" gene doesn't get you first. The only thing better than reading it would have been seeing it!

The horseman ship of the rider cannot be ignored either. Good job Boyde, we enjoyed reading the article.
