Mule made the evening news

Post by 97 heavyduty » Mon Jun 19, 2017 1:21 pm

I went to a car show with my mule to the Fathers Day Rod Run in Ord Nebraska. Next thing I know the is a news camera in front of my mule interviewing someone. Here is the link.

I even had one guy go home a brought back his personal notes and manual on sighting the m60 spotter and firing the recoilless rifle on the mule.

Man how cool is that. Twice a year I drive my mule at the Knob Creek Machine Gun Shoot in Kentucky. I haul guns and ammo for vendors and their customers to and from their cars. Have so much fun doing this. Get to meet the best people. I get a lot of vets that say, I haven't seen one these in years. Everybody loves the mule, for a lot of them its their first ride on one. I have had a few go out and buy themselves one after riding on mine. I look forward to it every spring and fall, it's a blast.
Here is a pic from there.

Whenever we have an event at our railroad museum I am always surprised by not only the older guys who remember the mules from their days in the service, but younger people who know what it is. Great fun to hear their stories.
