SO - Truth is stranger than fiction. I am just making my way from Pangman to No. 6 highway and in the distance spy some one walking on the highway. It was about 20 below with a crisp nor easter. First I thought it was three horses but no, its a guy with an oversize parka and big sloppy winter boots trudging along leading 3 mules. Each mule is nicely packed with all of his belongings. The third mule had an orange safety jacket tied on, very fashionable. As I approached the man you could barely see his face for frost. He speaks en franchise and broken english. He asked which town that was in the distance and told me he was going to Grand Cache coming from Idaho and that he loves the prairies. I offered him a larger bill to get some food but he refused it and said he didn’t need money because he has a good pension. His concern was hay for his mules. Second hand information has it that this retired French teacher has “travelled†the world with his 3 mules. Anyone know more details?

Well, he is sure taking the long way there.
If it is indeed true, it takes and you meet all kinds. -

His name is Emile Brager he was past this area a week ago, some people buy an Rv and tour the world but this guy decided 3 pack mules was the way to go. Kinda cool and kinda strange at the same time. Going for a walk Like that in Dead of winter isn’t my cup of tea But he’s been all over the world doing this.Comment

I was wondering if his name was Joseph and he some how lost Mary on the way to Grand Cache to enroll in the census.Originally posted by parsley View Post
Or did he say anything about following a bright star but his travelling companions either died or quit the quest, was he bearing gifts?Comment

He s way ahead of the curve, we will all be travelling like that once the climate radicals get their way.
That's how Greta should travel.Comment
