Dear Pedro, I was at Philmont last summer and saw some burros carrying heavy bags. It made me realize all the hard they do. Keep it up!

That used to be my line of work, Grant, and, yup, the bags are heavy. The mailbag can get a little hefty, but nothing like those Philmont packs. I’ll pass the word to my New Mexico compadres to keep it up. I’m heading down to the cantina for a snack.
