Yup.


https://www.nps.gov/deva/learn/histo...mule-teams.htm


2 mules as part of the "Lead Team"
10 mules as part of the "Swing Team"
6 mules as part of the "Pointer Team"
2 Horses as part of the "Wheeler Team"


Each team was especially trained for their individual contribution to the whole team.


There have been some modern reenactments that may have used 20 mules, though.

Knowing that his current location is too dangerous for rescue aircraft, Hambleton devises a plan to reach safer territory. He plots a course to the river which is the boundary of the target area, then communicates his intended path to Clark in a code composed of various golf courses he knows well. This will allow the rescuers to keep track of his progress, making it easier for them to pick him up.

The song "You made me love you (I didn't want to do it)" was the first song written for a movie where the focus was on a specific actor instead of the role the actor was playing in the movie.
