Old Mule Wagon Train in Death Valley, CA

Hello friends,

I am adding a blip after a long gap. The reason being, I have been traveling a lot and am hardly getting time to work on my pictures. I hope I can keep it going from now on.

For many people, nothing symbolizes Death Valley more than the famous Twenty Mule Teams. These "big teams" pulled massive wagons hauling borax from the Harmony Borax Works near Furnace Creek to the railhead near Mojave, a grueling 165 mile, ten day trip across primitive roads. Although the teams only ran for six years--1883 to 1889--they have made an enduring impression of the Old West.
