IDAHO SPRINGS, Co.–Despite my initial fears, running with burros in the Rocky Mountains is nothing to fear. In fact, it’s quite fun. Honestly, it’s a blast.
This morning, thanks to Bill Lee (aka Red Tail) and Brad Wann (media relations director for the Western Pack Burro Ass-ociation) I learned more about pack burro racing than I’ll probably be able to remember for the Idaho Springs race on Sunday.
Awesome fact No. 1: it’s good practice to whip other people’s asses. Who would have known?
I’d love to share more, but this is a vacation, and we’ve got some exploring to do. I’ll be sure to give an update on Sunday after the race and a full report early next week.
By the way, in that picture, that’s me with Red Tail and Amos.

We had so much fun at Burro Day today. I’m hoping to come back next year (we are here visiting from FL) but would love to participate. Any suggestions on who to work with to rent a Burro partner? Love the blog. Thx, JoAnne
