With hundreds of roads still impassable due to storm damage and flood debris, Mount Ulla-based Mountain Mule Packer Ranch is using their “beloved” pack mules to bring supplies to areas not accessible by vehicle.
“They call them beasts of burden, we call them our beloved mules,” the company wrote on Facebook Monday. “They are capable and willing to work in many conditions most won't. They are not stubborn… they are wise, and require respect.”
Owner Mike Toberer told the Associated Press that his mules have been delivering food, water, and diapers to the western part of the state’s hard-to-reach mountainous areas. While traditional aid groups are struggling to reach these communities, his team of four-legged athletes is uniquely suited to help.

I tried not to make rules for this community but y'all wylin'. I'll keep it quick and to the point:
-
Mildly biased headlines and articles are fine, but please do not share opinion pieces or strongly slanted articles here.
-
Reporting content that does not break those rules prohibited.
-
Baiting and drama farming is prohibited. If you're not sure whether or not you're in this category, ask yourself if what you're about to post or comment adds to the discussion of the topic at hand, or if you are trying to get a rise out of someone, make bad-faith accusations against one's character, etc. There's some leeway here because I have a sense of humor though, so don't let this rule scare you.
