A Man. A Mule. America.
Peaceful Colorado Sunday morning. I’ve hung up the harness for the day. Polly’s resting (background). Monday we’ll be hard at it again raising funds to bring the Lost Sea Expedition series to Rocky Mountain PBS. Any help is appreciated. Thanks for keeping up with our current trip. Enjoy the day.

It reminded me of George Clinton’s P Funk Mothership. This week mule Polly and I visited the Rocky Mountain PBS headquarters in Denver, Colorado. Producer Julie Speer invited me to bring Polly right in the studio back door (that’s the funky Mothership connection) Thanks for the studio tour Julie. It was a blast visiting with you guys even if it was a looooong way from the open plains and vistas covered in the Lost Sea Expedition series!
Today mule Polly visited downtown Fort Collins, CO. We’re in town raising funds to get the Lost Sea Expedition series aired on Rocky Mountain PBS. First off, a huge thank you to Kate Mabie, Nancy Lee, Sandy Walker and Dennis Vanderheiden for their donations. Those gifts will go toward having the series closed-captioned ($2,500) as per Public Broadcast requirements. Now let’s look at some pictures from today!

Pssst. Hey, want a little pot from Colorado? It’s legal here. Be cool. I can hook you up.
It’s Monday in Ft Collins. I’m in my office. Like everyone else at work, it’s gonna be 8 hours of phoning, emailing and chasing highest priorities (I use the Franklin/Covey system). Only difference is my office is 21 square feet, solar powered and pulled by a mule. Yep, I’m working out of the Lost Sea Expedition mule wagon. Here’s what’s up this week.

Talk about a great Colorado welcome. Mule Polly and I toured uptown Fort Collins today….just in time to catch the Taste of Fort Collins festival. Great big thanks to the dozens of folks that welcomed Polly and me to town. Guys I was bowled over by your generosity from granola and books (the Wisdom of Donkeys – thanks Nancy) to organic apples and a bratwurst dinner (thanks Cache La Poudre Feeds!).
A special shout out to Gabby, Mark, Alison and Justin who made contributions to the Lost Sea Expedition series. We’ve added your name to the Contributors Page. Hey, want to help us finish the series so it can air on Rocky Mountain PBS? Heck, just hit that yellow Donate button below! Thanks.
Mule Polly and I have arrived in Fort Collins, CO! After 6 days on the road in with our trailer, Polly and I are taking a break for a few days just north of town near the Cache La Poudre river (“cache the powder” (as in gun powder) in french). We’ll spend a few days getting our bearings before we start meeting with potential Lost Sea Expedition series underwriters. Rocky Mountain PBS has signed on to air the 4-part series about our 14 month wagon voyage across America.
Quick shout-out to Jay and Karin Archer (Steving Meats Co) and the Chestnut family of Chestnut Hill farm of Kersey, CO. I was passing through Kersey with my truck and trailer and mule Polly. The hour was getting late. These fine folks hooked Polly and me up with a place to stay. This was a classic case of just stopping on the side of the road and asking where a man and his mule could spend the night. No smart phone pre-planning involved. Thanks for the 23 eggs guys. I’m down to 18!
Hey Bucky, have a great weekend. And don’t be too hard on yourself for throwing an extra burger on the grill….
Call it the first Lost Sea Expedition cast reunion. Last night mule Polly and I spent the night with Barbara Shelton and Chuck Bonner. I visited them during the wagon voyage that became the Lost Sea Expedition series. Barbara appeared in the TV series, including the Official Trailer. Look for her in the trailer that follows.
