Took my Missouri Makeover mule Ruby and part of my family to Gunnison CO. we packed up and drove to Gunnison, CO. with five mules, three riding Mules two pack mules we went to the mountains north west of Gunnison CO. where we did a two day pack trip in the West Elk Wilderness, camped at Castle Rock. Ruby lead the pack string into camp did a wonderful job, had several opportunities for a major blow up but she held her cool like an old pro. Packed her for the first time on the trip out and rode on

Our packers would agree: there’s no one alive who knows more about packing mules in Yosemite’s backcountry than Bob Barrett. Bob began his mule packing career in Yosemite in 1956, and has spent his life caring for our mules, our wilderness, and teaching others how to do so as well. This year we had the privilege to sit down with Bob Barrett (now retired). We were honored to be able to record an interview with this living legend and share his knowledge and love of this work with the world. Yosemi
