Jason Fisher’s essay on his experiences with
mules brings optimism. Seems like the younger generations have
strayed far away from such non-motorized pursuits. It is great to
know there are still young individuals such as Fisher who like to
see the landscape from atop an equine’s back. I challenge
anyone to see how different the world looks atop a beast! Joining
up with equines is primal and ancient. To become their coworker
(Fisher’s word) in the herd culture is a rare privilege in
this time of tremendous artificial electronic-induced living, in
this time of rampant motorized abuse of public lands.
