Murrieta, CA

March 27, 2026
The Mules stopped in this open vacant field where there were no signs informing anybody entering that field that they were trespassing. I took all the gear off of Rosie, put her on a picket line, and was preparing to go to sleep.

This lady showed up and claimed I was on her property and I had to leave. I questioned her to the fact that there was no signs against trespassing anywhere to be seen. She said it didn’t matter I just didn’t believe her that it was her property the house was too far away anyway. She called the police.

Murrieta Police showed up and demanded I leave. They also offered no proof that the property belonged to her. They threatened me with arrest and jail if I wouldn’t leave so I did.

After getting packed up and leaving I was informed by the officers that if I stopped anywhere in Murrieta to do anything, rest or sit down, I would be arrested under their no camping law and taken to jail.

So right now we are forced to stay on our feet until dawn in Murrieta and we will go to City Hall to protest this treatment. The Murrieta Police offered the Mules no alternative place where they could spend the night. Instead they forced us out into the dark to wander up and down the streets in the city of Murrieta with the threat if we stopped anywhere or any amount of time to rest it would be considered camping and we would be arrested.

The Mules are on their way to Murrieta Police Department to bring the energy of an ages old way of life to the doorstep of the Murrieta Police department and the center of City of Murrieta, California. The effect it will have we do not know. We don’t control that. We do control the effort we make. The reward for us is to our soul. The Mules will be wandering and roaming through the city of Murrieta and then we will seek a good place to rest for the night. It might be a city park. It might be a vacant lot. It might be someone’s private property that we’ve been invited to stay for the night. It might be off to the side of the road. We’ve been living like this in California for 13 years and the Western U.S. for over 40 years. It’s doable we’ve demonstrated that there is no good reason to try and stop us or anybody else.

The City of Murrieta – City Government made the following statement on their Facebook page: “The City of Murrieta and the Murrieta Police Department are aware of the situation involving a man traveling through our community with his mule.

We’re pleased to share the matter has been peacefully resolved. He and his mule have been connected with a safe place to stay in Murrieta for the night.

Thank you for your concern and compassion! We remain committed to approaching situations like this delicately while upholding public safety and local laws.

The Mules were invited to rest at the property of Murrietta Councilmember Dr. Lisa DeForest and her husband Lance.

Lentil Pancakes

Just like the Mules are able to find themselves a place to stop for the night for less than a period of 24 hours. The Mule kitchen also finds itself a place to spring forward and do a little cooking for a period of less than 24 hours most often then not much less than 24 hours.

LENTIL PANCAKES
RED LENTILS
APPLE CIDER VINEGAR
OLIVE OIL
WALNUTS
2 EGGS
SEASONING OF CHOICE
BAKING POWDER

Soak lentils for 3 hours. Blend all ingredients until smooth. Add water to obtain desired thickness of batter. The mules like the batter somewhat thick.Then stur in baking powder

NOTE: Raw lentils taste terrible so that’s what the apple cider vinegar does it gets rid of that terrible raw lentil taste and most of the taste of the apple cider vinegar also goes away as it works to get rid of the raw lentil taste so when you’re done you got a real good base to add any kind of flavoring you so choose

San Diego County: Bonsall to Valley Center

The Mules got here last night about 5:00pm. We walked 15 miles from the place we left yesterday morning.

Pictured are some of the people we met along the way during our walk from Bonsall to Valley Center. The energy of the people that make the effort to make contact with the mules is much valued and needed by the three mules journey. As it moves through in and around the California Megatropolis. The Mules seem to be leapfrogging their way around California these days few days of traveling few days of rest then take a leap and wind up somewhere else.

Catherine invited the mules to stop at her stable in Vista. Her farrier Kevin put shoes on Rosie. And Catherine’s veterinarian Dr Selders did an acupuncture treatment. Rosie also got a massage by Haley. Many thanks to Catherine and all those who treated Rosie so well.

City of Ventura Police Encounter

No sooner had the Mules got into Ventura then we were approached by police officer informing us he had gotten a call that we were scaring the school children on the other side of the fence. And we couldn’t stop here for any amount of time because we were on private property. I said no we are on a public easement. He continued to insist we were on private property. A school teacher came over and informed the officer she had followed us for years and we were perfectly okay where we were. He decided to leave and did.

Do City/County Parks Need to Be Closed to a Lone Traveler?

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.

Ventura County Sheriff encounter

The following is a factual encounter the Mules had with Ventura County Sheriff. Nothing more and nothing less. The Mules were traveling south along the bike path yesterday when two officers pulled up got out of their cruiser and approached us. We pulled out our phone and took a picture. They said no worries you’re not in any trouble you’re not doing anything wrong. We said we didn’t call 911 we didn’t call for any help. They replied we’re just curious we don’t see mules around here too often. One officer said we can offer you resources. The Mules said if we need help we will call you and be glad to get it.

Then the questions started coming and we did respond with we don’t answer questions. They wanted to know where we were coming from, where we were going, do we live around here, how long have you been in the area. We replied to all their questions with we don’t answer questions.

They seem to have determined no progress was going to be made. So they left. So the Mules continued on their way walking just walking carrying no weapons. Living as all monks of the outside do one day at a time and doing nothing else.
