Right you are, Smoke! My field crew excavated a buried mule along a dirt  
road between the Post Cemetery and Post Hospital at United States Army, Fort  
Rosecrans about 12-years ago. We exposed the skeleton, drew and photographed it,  
took hair and skin samples, and collected the unusually thick right rear  
"horseshoe" that some very clever farrier created to solve this animal's foot  
problems. The mule remains where we found it, but under a truckload of gravel  
for protection.
