After losing his driver's license 10 years ago because of involvement in a hit and run, an employed man had no choice but to ride his mule into town looking for work.

Rod Maday claims to have traveled 45 days in the summer heat from his home town of Boy River, Minn. to Gillette, Wyo. on his 4-year-old mule.

Ending his unique journey on a mule, Maday arrived at the Department of Workforce Services on Friday. He was attired in a torn shirt, dusty blue jeans, spurs and a cowboy hat.

He said he averaged 30 miles a day, but the most he ever traveled in one day was 70 miles. According to AP reports, Maday left Gillette Saturday morning, riding west toward the Bighorn Mountains.
