Time to Buy New Chaps: Man Takes 1500-Mile Mule Trek

Ow, pardner! A Minnesota man who was having trouble getting a job decided to travel to Wyoming with the help of his two mules, and made it -- only to turn back and go home.

Why go mule? Save the earth? Hardly. Rod Maday lost his driver’s license 10 years ago after he was accused in a hit-and-run, and was having a hard time finding work in his home state of Minnesota. Maday heard that Wyoming had plenty of jobs that paid well so he chose to travel nearly 1500 miles by mule even after one of his mules had to be euthanized along the way.

He didn't stay long though. Apparently he was mule taunted on the way into town and discovered quickly Gillette Wyoming was no place for a man and his mule.

Fifteen hundred miles on a mule? Will Ferrell, this is your Oscar calling.
