Mule mania

Small towns are fun. Last night we stayed at a state park in Dayton Washington, population about 2500. We woke up to discover that it was alumni weekend and Mule mania weekend complete with parade. The alums walk at the head of the parade followed by the mules we were told by one local. We didn't get to watch the parade because we still have about six more hours of driving and more small towns ahead of us.
