About Two Mules to Triumph

Two Mules to Triumph is the true story of my seven-month-long journey through America with my two imperfect mules, Brick and Cracker. Brick is afraid of plastic bags. Cracker gets erections in public. And me? I’m not over-endowed in the planning department. Here’s the opening paragraph of Two Mules to Triumph:

I couldn’t ride my mule Cracker away from the barn. Every time I got his head turned and pointed toward the driveway, his jaw went hard, he spun, and he ran back in the direction we’d come. My wife Julia was leaning against the corral, watching. “Damn it, Cracker, let’s go!” I said, thumped his sides with my heels and aimed him across the backyard. He galloped ahead, veered sideways and smashed Julia against the corral. I looked down and saw Cracker’s hairy mule chest crushing Julia against the fence.
“Get that mule off me!” she gasped.

This is the first photo and caption in Two Mules to Triumph and gives you a taste of what’s to come.

Two Mules to Triumph is a humorous, fast-moving story that will appeal to readers who enjoyed the animal stories in The Ride of Her Life (Elizabeth Letts) and the Wild West mule adventures of The Oregon Trail. In addition to being a great travel yarn, it’ll fascinate anyone interested in the technical aspects of long distance saddle travel. Two Mules to Triumph contains 137 photos, maps, and sketches, plus fifteen pages of gear photos and a comprehensive packing list for anyone wanting to take a saddle voyage, from a weekend outing to a Long Ride.

Two Mules to Triumph is a message of encouragement that things don’t have to be perfect to set off on your dreams. It is a testament to the beauty of imperfect journeys.
