Do City county parks need to be closed to a lone traveler? Moving under their own power and their own speed whether by bicycle walking carrying a backpack or walking with a pack animal. The mules say no. A person traveling alone entering a park after dusk when Park is closed with the sole purpose of pitching a small tent. Then staying the night then getting up in the morning and leaving to continue their journey is a threat to no one. Parks are meant to be used by people engaged in outside activity the three mule journey is certainly doing that. The mules can see no good common sense reason to prevent us or anybody else like us from resting for the night in a park.
The Mules have received a number of comments on this post on our 3 Mules Facebook page. There seems to be a concerted effort to identify us with a homeless encampment people living on sidewalks packed into a small area with no running water no sanitation because they can no longer afford decent housing. The mules live on the move travel alone. Never stay on public space for more than 24 hours most often than not less than 24 hours. We present none of the problems of a homeless encampment. Yet by reading these comments they’re all trying to infer that we do. Well the mules think it’s absolutely mystifying that we’re still walking through in and around this extremely dangerous megatropolis how we choose when we choose. For a weak cowardly little man and one mule it’s truly a spiritual endeavor. When the time comes for our eternal soul to leave the body that we are attached to we will have no regrets.
