The 1976 3000 mile ride was won by Virl Norton who rode two mules also.
I have Lord Fauntleroy (Leroy) one of Virl's mules who will be 33 this year. Virl's son Pierce, who crewed for him, was out to see me a few weeks ago and neither of us knows what happened to Lady Eloise, the other of Virls' mules on the ride. If anyone knows, I would like to know. I know that The Deacon is still out in New Mexico and alive and well so far.....mb
