Dead Mule
  Dead Mule is built in a narrow pass that cuts through the thumb of the Black Mountains.  The land in the area is extremely rough and the road is surrounded by high ground on both sides.  Dead Mule sits in the shelter of two jutting ridges.  From these ridges, it is possible to see most of the southern end of the pass.  Little vegetation grows in the area, except around the town itself, where a natural spring provides water for a few trees and gardens.
  Most of the buildings are wood, although a few are adobe and stone structures.  The wooden buildings are made from rough hewn or unfinished logs.  All the buildings have the appearance of miniature forts, each being stoutly built to provide protection from Indian raids.  Most of the buildings are continually coated with a reddish-tan dust..
  At the southern end of the town is a large sign that spans the road.  On the sign is printed, "Welcome to Dead Mu.."  The rest of the letters on the sign have apparently faded out or been scrapped off.
