Astrobaja posted this link before---very informative about donkeys.
Donkeys
He has also posted a number of posts that are very informative about the age of the donkey, the water and food requirements, etc.
Yes, Don Kay is a pack animals, but all pack animals have limits.

Great link, thanks I would really, really assume that Mike, with Graham's assistance, had taken all of that into account.

He is definitely NOT trainable in anyway----been trying for years, but he gives new meaning to stubborn as a mule or burro.

You have to treat all pack animals properly..or lose the trip. Weigh it right, load it right, tie it right...and don't wear out the packanimal.
Mi compadre, Randy, and I and took 2 quarterhorses and two pack horses most of the length of the Canadian Rockies from south to north..then CNR'ed
back ...
....long, long before Brokeback Mountain came out...

This is the same place as Sunday night, Nov. 21, in Puerto (Santa) Catarina fishing village.

I haven't read anything about "Solo" in the last few days. Anyone know if the dog is still with Mike and Don Kay? I was also thinking it was a good
thing Mike sent the two little dogs home when he did.
Wife, Mother, Grandmother, and Pack leader. These are what I\'ll be remembered as ... and I\'m very happy with that.

Hi guys, thanks for all of the help. Don-Kay is doing great and I have lightened the load considerably. I will not be taking anymore short cuts as
they all seem to turn into long cuts. I cannot tell you how proud I am to be a part of a group of Baja nuts like yourselves. I will be leaving tomm.
for Canoas and I will be taking the road around and not over any stupid mountains.
The confidence I get from having all of you behind me is a driving force. Once agian thank you and VIVA MEXICO and GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!

This could be a sad Thanksgiving for Mike, Solo and Don Kay without any turkey and dressing. Maybe just a rattlesnake or some cactus. I think
Bajagringo should take them a full Thanksgiving special with all the trimmings. On the other hand make Mike knows where that special wiskey is hidden
just for such occasions.

You're kidding....right?
The man's on an adventure that you and I admire, fear and envy. He's getting away from it all..so to speak.
He's on his own and any delivery of civilization would only make his efforts a part of our efforts.
Leave the man alone to do or die. That's why he started this.

do donkeys like turkey? (most donkeys i have met were herbivores)
i think donkay is a gringo, so maybe he has a vegetarian t-giving tradition from his youth and he may be sad to miss the holiday.
but solo is a mexican mutt, and i don't think he will regret missing a holiday that he has never experienced.

adventure is where you are when you wish you weren't, and where you aren't when you wish you were-
