Yeah, he was still using a mule in '69 and probably for a while after that even though he had the Cub. I can't remember exactly when he sold the mule because I was still quite young then.

He had a large garden and he tended the garden of a somewhat isolated school that raised a lot of their own food for the students. Some of it was bottom land but I remember a couple of places up on the bench of a mountain. I always wanted to visit when he was getting the garden ready because I would get to ride on the drag behind the mule. I can still hear him calling gee and haw.
