Bernie was born in Seattle, Washington in 1968. Thirty years later, he sailed a boat alone around the world and, when he got home, decided that equine travel made more sense. So he traded his boat in for a mule and pony and rode them across America. In 2007 he began his latest mule voyage in Canada. He plans to complete the adventure in Mexico in 2008.
Bernie is a good writer, a fair horseman and a lousy judge of distance.
When he is not living in a tipi, boat or gypsy wagon, he resides in North Carolina.
