“Trash to Triumph” Book One Step Closer to Publishing
`Hot damn! This week, I received the manuscript of my new book “Trash to Triumph”. It’s about riding my mules Brick and Cracker from North Carolina to Idaho. This is a huge milestone as I’ve been working on this book for over 2 years.
I wrote “Trash to Triumph” to give readers a sense of what it’s like to ride two mules 2,300 miles through America. I’m thrilled how the book captured the experience, from what it’s like for a semi to roar by you on the side of a mountain road, to what it’s like to sleep for months under the stars and eat food that looks like snot but tastes delicious. The book will have plenty of photos, maps and sketches from the road.
What Happens Next
The manuscript was sent off to one of the two first readers that will read through it and make suggestions and edits. From there, it will go thorugh another round of edits and then it’ll be ready for publishing.
I’d be happy to give you a heads-up when the “Trash to Triumph” book comes out. Just sign up for my newsletter. You can do that right here.
NOTE NOTE NOTE
The title of “Trash to Triumph” has been changed to “Two Mules to Triumph”.
Great to see you publishing more of your excursions Bernie!
Thanks, Christopher! I’m super-excited about “Trash to Triumph”. I’ll be sure to give you a heads-up when it comes out!

PS: The ’92 Dodge I bought from you 17 years ago has hauled rock, hay and mules this month! I finally splurged, and replaced the window seals.
Saw you on PBS with Polly the mule. Very happy your book is on its way. Can’t wait to read it! 📚 Enjoy your day 🍂🍁🌻
Hi Angela,
I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed the PBS piece with mule Polly. Morgan Potts and the entire UNCTV/PBS crew did an amazing job putting this together. Happy Adventuring! Bernie
