[RC] 20 Mule Team - Bruce Weary

Somebody might refine my facts, but I remember reading in a restaurant near Ridgecrest about the old "20 Mule Teams." Apparently every mule knew his own name, and the muleskinner could turn the team on a narrow trail by calling out the names of each mule, and in they would each in turn jump over their riggings and then jump back again, allowing the entire line to make a 90 degree turn. Buncha smart asses, indeed. Dr. Q.
