 20 Mule Team Days
The twenty
mule team, a mule skinners nightmare come true or a skilled teamsters
dream come true. However one pictured it, it was a ride that
none of the drivers ever forgot. Bruce Morgan was one of the
last drivers of the famed 20 Mule Team during the Inyo County
centennial in 1949. As co-owner of Mt. Whitney Pack Trains with Ike Livermore, Bruce enjoyed an exciting
life of mule packing and team driving which many of us latter
year packers have come to envy.

Bruce
Morgan at Lone Pine Lake
Here is a
picture of Bruce on a lazy day pack trip at Lone Pine Lake on
the Mt. Whitney Trail. This had to have been a staged photograph
because rarely did a packer find himself with one lone mule.
You could roll your own smoke, play solitaire, sing 'til your
hearts content and never fear a wreck with only one mule. What
a life, Bruce!
