[@lukemulejump7851]

57 seconds into it and I already like it. That’s my kind of Riding. Thanks for sharing.

[@JackJackSoriano]

Thank you for sharing. That is incredibly beautiful country and your mules are beautiful with excellent temperaments.

[@194448lj]

Thanks

[@RayAttanasio]

Hello Leroy. Man it’s such a great pleasure to watch your videos and hear you commenting on the trip. I’ve been keeping an open eye for new ones Stay safe bud

[@194448lj]

Thanks, I missed last year but I plan on going again this year.

[@USNAVDC]

Loved the video. Beautiful mules...and a million dollar ride! Thanks for sharing. I'm jealous! I love Colorado! Wish I could be along for the ride.

[@194448lj]

Thanks, looking forward to this year!

[@bigcountry4900]

Man, what I'd give to take a trip like this. One day hopefully. Thanks for taking us along.

[@194448lj]

Glad you liked it! Just start planning it and make it happen. Life is to short to not enjoy some of the roses along the way. As long as I can get on my mule I'll be there. 😀

[@bigcountry4900]

@@194448lj good advice. Just need some land to put a mule on, but more importantly is, find a good Mule! I know hardly nothing about what makes a good one, or a bad one. And its a shame but many will take advantage of that. Wish I was closer to you, because you seem like one of the good ones.

[@Jim.Thunda]

From the start of this video l can see you are in the right frame of mind, and you have documented the country and not your self as so many others do for their five minutes of fame. Well done, excellent job. Your the sort that make a great friend, because your not self centred. I have posted this after only five minutes into the video.

[@194448lj]

Thanks, I love the high country. I've got to miss this year but looking forward to next year!

[@George71964]

Thanks for sharing your adventure into the high country. It was so beautiful this year and the wild flowers were making a good showing. I dont ride but that adventure sure makes me wish I could make a trip and camp in those mountains.

[@lukemulejump7851]

I’m glad everything went well, Zack and Fancy are awesome mules. Looking forward to your next video.

[@194448lj]

THANKS

[@jeffwilcher3333]

What an awesome trip on those great ole long ears 😊👍👍 Onward and Upward is the watchword ..

[@194448lj]

Thanks, I really enjoyed it. Looking forward to this year. Working on about 140 mile ride this year.

[@jeffwilcher3333]

I have hunted the Cow Creek and Red Creek , Sneva Mtn and Green Mtn area for many years ... from the top of Red Creek I’ve looked into Witterhorn Basin many times ...just never went into it ... again , I loved the video .. I’ve ridden some mighty fine mules all over those places .. brought back many memories ..

[@mare6419]

Beautiful video, I enjoyed every minute of it, you're blessed to ride in God's country. Thank you for the armchair adventure.

[@194448lj]

Glad you enjoyed it! I love God's country. (Mountains)

[@424stormygirl]

I love this but can't help but feel for poor little Fancy seems like shes doing the heavy lifting. LOL

[@194448lj]

It looks worse than it is. lol It only weighs about 125 lbs. Freeze dried Mountain House doesn't weigh much.

[@Ouachita.Mule.School]

Did you sell fancy? I just acquired a mule named fancy. Looks identical too

[@194448lj]

No. Unfortunately see died on me @ 8 years old. I would never have sold her. Broke my heart.

[@Ouachita.Mule.School]

@@194448lj I understand, I’m the same way. I lost one here a month ago. I love my mules more than I love a lot of people. They’re my family Sorry for your loss, some of them you can’t replace.

[@practice965]

The fourteener near Ouray is Sneffles, is it not?

[@194448lj]

I think so but not sure. I just ride and look at them.😀

[@jeanettemcclintock9157]

I'm curious what brand are the tracking collars on your mules?

[@194448lj]

I use the old analog collars because of the long battery life. I use the R-600A telemetry receiver. I bought mine at Johnson telemetry. 417-876-5083. If this is what you want, tell Debbie you want one like mine. Feel free to call me if you have any questions. 417-860-7584. Leroy

[@hannahduer]

did anyone else feel car sick? that was quite a ride. thanks for sharing.

[@194448lj]

You're welcome, hope you enjoyed it.

[@aztib]

i spot Steve Edwards tack! beautiful area i wish i could be there with my own mule. Where i live we have no mountains at all.

[@194448lj]

Yes, about everything I use is Steve's.

[@194448lj]

I'm in Colorado now for this year's trail ride. I just finished my ride in the San juans, getting ready to go to the West elks in a couple days

[@largemarge1603]

[@chrig844]

Is this extreme beginner on a mule

[@194448lj]

Don't know how to answer that one.

[@jeffbell9771]

Awesome

[@194448lj]

Thanks, had a good trip.

[@rickmorris338]

Hello , sure footed mules. lol Funny though not a single bear of any kind. I was wondering why you dont have bells on any thing. Do you carry a side arm? I thought i seen a riffle in one shot. What do you carry? ever have any encounters with bears? Nice video thank you. I would love to do that. You ever take any one out with you?

[@194448lj]

Thanks Rick, I have only ridden up on one bear.(25 yds) Scared him more than me. Sometime I carry a pistol, but most of the time I don't. Colorado only has black bear so you really don't have that much to worry about. Just don't get between mom and her cubs. I usually try to take someone with me but it's hard to find someone to go on a two week trip. So, I'm going with or without someone! lol Try to make it happen! There's nothing like a trail ride in the mountains.

[@charlotte6154]

👏👏👏

[@ann-raelagrelle8312]

You should have shown your camp

[@194448lj]

Sorry, next time. Some other videos I did.

[@194448lj]

I have a couple of times but not much. I'll try to more in the future. Hope you enjoyed the rest.

[@brandonwebb5256]

Would love to have the freedom you have. See what you have seen....Maybe when I grow up and get out of the rat race I will.... Only 45 so have lots more time. Love the video.

[@194448lj]

Thanks Brandon. I spend at least a month in the mountains trail riding and elk hunting. Don't care if I get an elk or not as long as I'm in the mountains on my mule! Try to make it happen, the sooner the better!

[@brandonwebb5256]

@@194448lj Yea. I live in Colorado now. Was in military for 20 yrs so moved around a little. Mostly Midwest and north....Alaska is amazing. Grew up on farm and ranch life in new mexico....love the long ears. Better in so many ways than a horse in a lot of ways.
