    • Hi Myra,
      So great to get your message. You’ve got enough internet in you to at least get this message through!
      I’m so happy you enjoyed the Swan Song program about Lake Mattamuskeet. Director Morgan Potts and PBS NC did an incredible job bringing this experience to the screen.
      Check your inbox for an email from me.

  • Suzan and I met you at Ft. Robinson NE in the late Summer of 2019. Really enjoyed meeting and talking with you. Glad to see you are doing well and continuing your adventures. Looking forward to the book on the 2019 trip. Take care.

  • Hi,

    I would like to read about your ride.

    • Thanks for signing up for the newsletter, JR. I look forward to letting you know when the new “Trash to Triumph” book comes out. Have a great day! Bernie / RiverEarth.com

  • Can’t wait…love mules and donkeys and horses…and love the premise of the book.

    • Hi Morgan, I can’t wait to get this book out so you can read it. If you like mules, critters and adventure, I think you’ll really enjoy “Trash to Triumph.” We’ll keep you posted when it comes up. Have a great day. Bernie

  • Make sure you keep Windy Hill Mule Farm updated! We are so excited for you.

    • Hi Mike and Janet, We’ll be sure to give you a heads up when the book comes out. We want to give you a copy for providing us with such a great mule! Cracker rocks! Bernie

  • Hi Bernie
    So pleased for you. I’m grateful that I had the opportunity to meet you a few years back when I owned Lenoir Printing. If you go back to Idaho, I would be happy to contact my retired large animal vet friend who lives and has a ranch in Boise. I suspect that he would love to help you and visit. He’s a multi linguist whose traveled across South America. Best to you!

    • Howdy Bob, What a lovely surprise hearing from you! It’s funny how, when I called Lenoir Printing a while back, I instinctively wanted to ask for Bob. I’ll have to get used to saying “Spencer.” Spencer did a great job printing the “Trash to Triuimph” manuscript.
      Thanks for mentioning the contact in Boise. We’ll be sure to holler at you if we’re ever out that way.
      Have a great weekend, Bob. Sure was great hearing from you.
      Bernie

  • We are so excited for your newest book! Colton and I share your stories with everyone we know!

    • Hi Vicky, How nice to hear from you! That brings back some great memories of hanging out with you, Kieth, Liz, Woody and Maggie. I’ll always remember that book signing at the PX. Be sure to holler at us if you’re ever up our way. Have a great weekend, and give Colton a big howdy from the mules and me. Bernie

  • Would like to read your book.

  • I looked at your route. I think you are coming close to me. I am in southern Indiana close to Louisville KY. You are welcome to stay at our farm for as long as you need to recoup.

    • Hi Peg, Thanks for the lovely invite. My mules Brick, Cracker and I completed our trip. We had a great trip through Indiana. I loved Vincennes! I really appreciate the offer of letting us recoup at your farm. Things like that mean so much on long-distance saddle journeys. I hope all’s going well for you on the farm. Bernie

  • I can’t even imagine… yet I try! Wish I had it in me to take on such an adventure. Anxious to read of it all

  • What an amazing adventure.

  • Second page of the sign up didn’t seem to work…the one from mailchimp said no internet connection.

    • Hi Pj, Thanks for the heads up. We’ll look into it. If you want, I can just add you directly to the list. Just let me know. Have a great weekend! Bernie

  • Hey there Mr Bernie!! Colton and I can not wait to read about your newest adventures! I share your woody and Maggie book with the grandkids all the time, and To Proud with anyone who will listen…

    • Vickie! Wow, what a lovely surprise hearing from you. We sure look forward to letting you know when “Trash to Triumph” comes out. It’s turning out to be a doozie of a book, our best yet. Please give Colton a great big howdy from me and all the critters up the Shoe Box canyon. Bernie

  • So cool. Can not wait for book.
