I have often heard that there are wild burros around Emerald Cove Resort. Rumor has it they are a protected species and you are not to feed them. There are signs along the roadside warning you to watch for them. But, I’ve never seen any here. This year though, I saw scat alongside the road indicating to me they might be in the area.
Then it happened.
I had been out for the afternoon and returned by a different road inside the park. As I walked around behind my rig to reattach my hookups I saw this:
Once we all got over our excitement and went back in the burros wandered down the road behind me eating the palm tree leaves. So here they are again as seen out my back window.
These burros are leftovers from the days when miners used them to haul their equipment then just turned them loose when the miners left. They seem to be quite content to lead a semi-wild life. Just like me.

I remember seeing those when we were in that area. They are so cute.
I am so glad you got to see the burros. Just hope they don’t hang around and night and bray outside your rig. They can get noisy.
We’ve seen them all over the main road outside the park but we’ve never seen them come in. How fun is that? Just don’t volunteer to be the pooper scooper. You’d be pretty busy.
i love burros’ gentle little faces! their big beautiful eyes.
what a wonderful christmas gift for all of you!
