Last year we decided to give it a try, said Barker. Mr. and Mrs. Barker began their dream trip in Nogales, Mexico in February. The two are careful not to call the trip a vacation. Its an adventure, says Mrs. Barker. Its too much to work call it a vacation. There is a lot of preparation every morning and every evening, says Barker. In the evening, camp has to be made; the mules have to be fed, watered, brushed, and sometimes shoed; meals have to be prepared; anc the washing has to be done. After a full days travel, it sometimes seems like a lot of work. But they are comfortable in their wagon. The inside offers ample sleeping and riding space. It also carries two drums full of drinking water. The wagon has canvas sides and offers a lot of protection from the dements. They have been in . -- everyJand of weather since they started snow, rain, and winds We have been in 66- - to winds and they havent even phased the wagon, Mrs. Barker says. The mules pulling the wagon were purchased by the couple about two and a half years ago to take people on hayrides and haul a wagon for cookouts at a business the Barkers had in Arizona. They were a good choice to pull the wagon, say Mr. and Mrs. Barker. Mules can endure heat, wind, and pulling, says Barker, and they dont shy away from the large wagon, 66-gall- ur tractor-traile- r rt compares with gains of only 5 Business activity through percent in 1986 and 5.2 percent Utah rose in 1989 for the second in 1987. consecutive year.

Between 1978 and 1988, on the other hand, adjusted business activity in Utah declined by 2.4 percent, and a decline was registered in six of these 10 years. This decline accounted for many of the problems experienced by Utah in financing state and local services during the 1980s.
