Just eMailed to us - 20 Mule Team

Hello all,
This is my friend in the blue shirt up front of the mule team. Jim lives in Bishop and I stay with him usually when I volunteer for Bishop Mule Days each year. He helps works with these mules in Bishop in the parade on Memorial Day and when they go on the road. . Bob Tanner owns the mules and is the driver in this video.. It is interesting how the team works and the jumper mules know how to move across the drag chain that they all are attached to for pulling. When the mules turn corners, the wheel teams shifts to the opposite side of the turn so the wagons will not cut the corner. It is something to watch and the driver shouts commands and has a "jerk line" to only certain teams (2) of mules for direction. Enjoy.

This is the team we take up to Ketchum, Idaho for Labor Day Parade there. This shows the "jumpers" moving back and forth across the center chain. Click on "20 Mule Wagon Team". Pause it once you come up on the site and let it load first. This was taken last year in Ketchum during "practice"! We start working the mules in the morning here and leave next Thursday for Ketchum.

OD/NT the video didn't work, but it is amazing to watch in person, we are just south of Ketchum and have gone to the parade a few times, I will try to dig up some photos of the hitch to post.

I got it to work by clicking on the one on the side.

I had the model of the Borax team from Borax when i was little. I think it got left in the back window on the car when we moved and some of the mules now have a hump in their backs. :(
