Cool little story. Thank you for sharing. Your buddy made the old mule shoe shine even more than when it was brand new buffed to a high polish.

Tommy did an awesome job on that! It looks like it was made yesterday. Great story as well. If only those mines could talk.

Mules are amazing animals!!! We have a week long celebration of the Mules where I live! It’s called “Mule Days” and people bring their mules from all over the country to celebrate and do whatever mule people do! 😂 there’s even a parade with mule powered floats and wagons! I live where it was basically the California gold rush, and the poor mules lived in unbelievably harsh conditions, dry arid mountain sides, walking on goat trails with hundreds of pounds of ore or supplies for the miners. There’s still many in use to do resupply trips into the Sierras. I’d imagine those coal mine mules had it pretty hard but at least it’s probably got foliage and water on the outside. I don’t know how they kept them alive here because it’s super dry and just a bunch of dry brush. Cool mule shoes you have too.

Thank you. Wow! That's awesome where you live at. Sounds like a cool event. That'd be fun to see! Ya, those desert mules had it rough. I believe some offspring of those mine mules (out in the desert) are still living near the old mines in some locations. I saw it here on KZitem before! I guess they're just resilient. Here in Pennsylvania, a lot of the mules were kept in the mines their entire life. How terrible is that? They'd only come out once dead or only on a few special occasions a year. It depended on what mine it was and where the mule barn was located in the mine. Poor creatures though. I've been in some low roof mines, I mean very low. How a mule worked in those conditions is beyond me. Ya, I'm lucky to have a few mule shoes. Appreciate you watching and the comment!

That Mule was invincible after drinking that mine water! -- There is no need to "convert" to coal my friend. They make "Add-On" coal furnaces that you literally tie into your existing ductwork ;) -- I've only did 1 Coal Add-On like that before but several Wood which it's basically the same installation.

Thank you. That's interesting to hear about the tie in! I do have an Alaska stoker. I just have to reassemble it. Yeah, that mule was amazing. Just eating mine timbers lol. Thanks again for watching and commenting. I appreciate your continued support here.
