This was part of the Twenty Mule Team display in Death Valley, CA. It was a short walk on the Harmony Borax Works Interpretive Trail. The Twenty Mule Team transported borax through Death Valley and beyond to the Atlantic & Pacific Railroad and the South Pacific Railroad in the late 1800’s. It was a very nice walk and was cool to see the Borax refining plant and the metal and wooden wagons. If I had more time, I would have spent the whole day photographing the refining plant and the wagons. The aged metal and wood had a lot of character and colors.
