Mule Adventure

There is something to be said for mules and mule-adventures.
Hmmm, what?

Ok, let me start this all over.

We caught up Opal and Badger, because it was such a nice afternoon. The pretense was, we'd go riding together and look for antler sheds.

Well interestingly enough, we hit the Jackpot. I was more into riding and looking at the wildflowers coming up, my husband was keeping his keen eyes peeled for white antler sheds.

Had it been a full set, he'd have had a 12 point buck!
The trail we were following has a large tree downed across it. It has been there for about 3 years and is a favorite spot to get our mules to jump in hand.
Which of course we did.

Barbed wire fence on on side and a rocky drop off on the other side...

We got home just before dusk and put the mules away.
What a fine spring afternoon.
