We all know that good things “come & go” but the surprises can sometimes be difficult to absorb.\u00a0 Our beloved Pedro passed away peacefully this last week.\u00a0 Anyone who has visited the Gold King Mine has had an opportunity to interact with Pedro.\u00a0 This four-legged ambassador drew in hundreds of visitors to our little spot of heaven by braying loudly in an attempt to get fed some treats.\u00a0 Typically, he was penned up with treats nearby but just out of reach.\u00a0 All it takes is a few caring folks to walk over and give some treats to Pedro.\u00a0 Occasionally, Pedro would also slip the confines of the Gold King Mine in an attempt to “go to town”.\u00a0 Jerome is just 1\/4 mile down the paved road to the Jerome Fire Department<\/a> and the Town of Jerome<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Many of Jerome’s long-time residents, including Jerome Police<\/a> and Fire personnel, can attest to Pedro’s prancing through the narrow streets of Jerome, eluding all who attempted to thwart his efforts to extend personal relationships with tourist type humans.\u00a0 Anyway, that’s the way we would like to think of it, but you can just imagine the scene of Don chasing after Pedro down and up the hills of Jerome.\u00a0 Typically, Don would be riding his “horse”, usually the Harley dirt track bike, in an attempt to corner Pedro somewhere.\u00a0 Pedro always “gave up”, running out of gas long before Don did.<\/p>\n

There is a grave site honoring the previous Pedro’s, yes there have been a few.\u00a0 We’re not going to divulge the location, but suffice it to say that Pedro will soon be in his own “Field of Dreams”.\u00a0 Also, if you are someone who has attended the many music or VW festivals at the Gold King Mine, you have likely seen the rustic wooden, (of course . . .) grave marker for the Pedro lineage.<\/p>\n

Treats Anyone?<\/p>\n
