Yeah! I've met a few of those stinkers myself having been at the last 2 Jamborees, NOAC in 02 and Philmont in 03! Funny how the high profile stuff tends to draw them out.... course we have a stinker or 2 around these parts as well.

Actually, the interest was only vague and most of the guys in our group have grown up exposed to farm animals so there wsan't the attraction to a burro like there would have been to gold panning or climbing a couple extra high spots along the way!

Thanks for the grin!

Our crew purposely steered clear of burros. Our crew had a discussion about it and asked the adults what they thought. The only comment made was that you are always taking a chance with a burro because you may get a cantankerous one that you have to drag more than he will walk and there IS a limit on how much you can pack on them. They decided not to take a chance on it.

I've heard crews say the same thing about advisors. LOL
