[RC] Last Ass Over the Pass? - Robin EverettHi! This is a curiosity question to folks in Colorado, or anyone who knows about this. I teach online classes, so I meet lots of students from all over. When a new class starts, we introduce ourselves and I always mention endurance riding. One of my new students, after hearing one of her classmates talk about her mules used for trailriding, posted this: "In the mountain town of Leadville (I believe it is Leadville) they have an annual race called "Last ass over the pass". It is a half marathon that runners run with a four legged ass. It was started as a loose re-enactment of the old gold miners racing to town with their gold and their mules." This sounds really interesting. Has anyone out there done it or gone to see it? Robin Everett (In California, but my mother lives outside of Ft. Collins, CO)
