The Mules give thanks on this Thanksgiving Day for this place in which we find ourselves. This place for anybody and everybody and all those who will give their energy to see to the 3 Mules Journey and the sacred nomadic way of life which it represents moving freely in anyone of four directions how you choose when you choose. ~The Mules

Here it is. There it is. Out of nowhere. Unexpected but always expected. Appearing out of the mist from the energy of the three mule journey. Grass. Green grass to feed and nourish this sacred journey of human freedom. A journey for anybody and everybody who will give their energy to it.

The motorist passes the Mules at high speed locked

The motorist passes the Mules at high speed locked up inside isolated, disconnected, and alone from the Earth and its beauty and energy. The Mules pass the high speed motorist connected to the natural beauty and force of energy that surrounds them coming from the Earth which we use to propel us forward on our long endless journey ensconced with the magic beauty and wonder of mother Earth.

Late afternoon on October 10, 2021, the Mules were making their way down the El Camino in Sunnyvale where there is absolutely no place to stop for the night when suddenly out of the mist, the energy of the Three Mules Nation materialized into human form. Joan and her family, who are also equestrians, offered the Mules a place to stop and rest. While we were there we made a trip to the grocery store to buy some gluten-free, organic old-fashioned rolled oats. Rather than using the monotonous method of moving around with an automobile, we used the natural human and animal energy working together, which created a great experience for ourselves and all those with whom we passed.

Thanks to Mike McDonnell McDonnell Farrier Service

Thanks to Mike McDonnell McDonnell Farrier Services for once again offering his skill and horseshoeing service to shoe the kids. [This is a photo when McDonnell previously shoed Little Girl as forgot to take photo last week.)

Because Little Ethel wears her back shoes off so fast in about 11 days, it presented quite a problem to keep her shoed. When passing through Mojave a few months ago, the Mules met Mike Bromley. Mike is also a farrier and shoed the kids while we were at his place. He suggested we apply bromium to the back of Little Ethel’s shoes so he did that and it worked out great. Little Ethel's back shoes were put on September 18th in Auburn and removed on November 4th. That's a little more than six weeks so McDonnell removed Little Ethel's back shoes. We will barefoot her for a week to 10 days then reshoe her with the same shoes that were removed on the 4th of November.

By the looks of the amount of wear on these two shoes I expect we'll get another four to five weeks of service out of them. Mike Bromley has offered to make and send us these bromium covered shoes whenever we need them. This turned out to be a great solution to the problem of Little Ethel wearing off her back shoes so fast.

Well thanks again to the two Mikes - Mike McDonnell and Mike Bromley for supporting the Three Mule Journey. #3mules #equestriantraveler #humankindness #3mulesdotcom

While driving on the Public Thoroughfare, the High

While driving on the Public Thoroughfare, the High Speed Motorist (HSM) should always be alert for pedestrians, equestrians, cyclists, and wildlife along the road. Reminder that today is Halloween. HSM be alert for children / kids trick or treating and crossing the Public Thoroughfare this evening.

The Mules left Chular yesterday morning, passed through Gonzalez, then arrived in Soledad. Walked 17 miles, then spent the night here, and are now on our way to King City. The mules are engaged in the process of bringing the energy of hundreds of thousands of years of this nomadic life which we practice to Santa Ana, California where we have been ordered by the judge in our lawsuit to attend the mandatory settlement conference in the week of November 15th.

The Mules say thank you to the Golden Gate Bridge

The Mules say thank you to the Golden Gate Bridge Highway & Transportation District for answering our call requesting to cross the Golden Gate Bridge, Lieutenant Roger Elauria for coordinating the trailer, and the United States Park Police for trailering Little Girl, Little Ethel and the Monk across Golden Gate Bridge and providing some hay at the end of the ride so that we could continue our journey south for the winter.

On Thursday the Mules passed thru Gilroy, known as the Garlic Capitol of the World. We're closely monitoring this storm that we see described as a monstrous cyclone storm / atmospheric river. We're currently 8 miles from San Juan Bautista and from there 17-20 miles from Salinas. Sunday to Monday rain will be heavy with potential flash floods/flooding along our route to Salinas.

After leaving Morgan Hill this morning and continu

After leaving Morgan Hill this morning and continuing south on Monterey Road, Sgt. Bill Norman from @morganhillpd and two fellow officers pulled up in their cars, stopped, approached us, and asked if we could spare a moment. We responded, sure. Sgt. Norman said that he was sorry about the misunderstanding this morning with the two officers that gave us a hurried leave from where we spent the night in Morgan Hill. He said he came to apologize on behalf of the Morgan Hill Police Department and offered us some basic provisions for our journey. We accepted his apology, but kindly declined the provisions because we are all good with everything that we need as we are always mindful of the weight the mules carry and we don't carry unnecessary items.

Lady, the mule who I purchased in 1986 in Coarseg

Lady, the mule who I purchased in 1986 in Coarsegold, CA when she was about 6 years old, and then roamed and wandered all over the western United States for 26 years, and in California for the past 9 years, has laid her physical body to rest on this day, October 7, 2021, at age 41 in human years. In horse years, we calculate this to be 114 years old.

The Mules want to give a special thanks to Jane, her parents, and Tucky for the wonderful care and place to spend her last years.

Myself, the Monk, says to myself how best to honor this wonderful soul who became an essential part of my life. If you have taken a photo of or with Lady, please share with us in the comments with the location and date and we will add to a video that we are compiling to remember her.

When I was saying goodbye to her for the last time [on 9/20/21], we both knew there was an understanding that we would come together once again to wander and roam over the face of this Earth practicing the ages old sacred ways of the nomads.

The body dies and returns to dust. The spirit is eternal. Lady will have many paths and choices to choose from. We hope she chooses to return with us and continue to contribute her energy to the Three Mules Journey in a way unique and peculiar to herself.

When I was a little kid in the 50s and we would drive down the El Camino I remember looking at this mountain many times. It intrigued me for some reason. Little did I know at age 74 I'd be spending a night on it with two mules enjoying the uniqueness of this mountain and it's surrounding area known as South San Francisco.

The Mules stop and always sadly reflect of the liv

The Mules stop and always sadly reflect of the lives unneccessarily lost at the countless roadside memorials we pass as we walk all day, every day. These crosses on the sides of the roads were there before the Mules and will continue to appear until the High Speed Motorist (HSM) is reigned in to obey the law. Getting rid of the Mules will not stop the carnage by the HSM. Carnage will continue. This Roadside Memorial album will be a visual reminder for drivers to obey the law and to pay attention when driving. #3mules #equestriantraveler #sharethrroad #3mulesdotcom
