SupaiMuleTrain

07 AUGUST 2000 - SUPAI, AZ: Lucas Paul Eggers, 11, unloads boxes of mail at the parking lot eight miles above the village of Supai on the Havasupai Indian reservation in northern Arizona, Aug. 7. There are no roads or rail service into Supai, a village of 600 people on the floor of the Grand Canyon, so the mail is delivered by mule train. The wranglers who lead the mules down to the village haul everything from letters and postcards to fresh produce and ice cream. Because of budget shortfalls, the US Postal Service is threatening to close the post office in Supai. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
