Good read by the way. Did he write about meeting you? Haven't read the whole thing yet.
Don't think there is anything on the website. If you see a silver 92 Dodge, that's my old truck. I ordered a copy of his book (Too Proud to ride a Cow) and I am waiting for it to come in.
Interesting work on the design of the wagon. He started out with something much larger, and with a team of mules. He was saavy enough to realize the older team would not do well, so he opted for a single (younger) mule, which required a significant redesign of the wagon.
