Who is the mule man of America? Mystery nomad has wandered US for 30 yrs protesting urbanization

A man who calls himself 'Mule' has been riding through towns and cities in the U.S. for nearly 30 years with three real mules carrying his rather more high-tech possessions.


According to his website, his nomadic lifestyle made him notice 'an ever increasing urban sprawl' and that 'as the urban environment exploded, natural habitats have vanished'.


He claims to have made the decision to start speaking out two years ago on the 295 mile walk from Las Vegas to Ely, Nevada.

He explained: 'I needed a website so that when I got to California, I would have a voice.

'I'm nothing. I'm uneducated, I'm a weak little man, I'm the low man on the totem pole and I've been there my whole life. But a website would be my voice.'

That's not a matter of giving in to modernization. It's an acceptance of reality. If you have a roadway with cars traveling at speed, it is dangerous to stand in that road with three donkeys.
