Bernie Harberts’ 2500-mile odyssey in a mule-drawn covered wagon from Canada to Mexico was featured in our book Tiny Homes (pp. 188-190). Here’s the latest from Bernie:
Dear Lloyd and Shelter,
Just wanted to let you know I’ve started a new journey.
It’s called Mules West and I thought you’d enjoy following along.
So far my mules Brick, Cracker, and I have traveled 400 miles and encountered snow, snakes and fascinating folks that have helped us along the way. We’ve been heading from western North Carolina toward Idaho. Right now we’re in Indiana.
Traveling is more fun when you have company so come “ride along with us” at RiverEarth.com.
I hope all is going well with you.
Happy Adventuring!
–Bernie
