Mules: Nicol said he always brought one dark colored one so he could see the mules easier. The gray ones blend in perfectly with the rocks.
Dinner: Soup, dehydrated vegetables, textured vegetable protein (TVP), mashed potatoes to thicken it and Parmesan cheese to sprinkle on top.
Nicol: Nicol was interested in the food we'd be serving him for the next several days.
