twenty mule team wagon - death valley national park californiaTwenty Mule Team Wagon on display at Death Valley National Park in California. Wagons like this one were used to transport Borax mined in Death Valley at the Harmony Borax Works overland to Mojave California - the location of the closest railroad in the 1880's. This early morning image highlights both the borax wagon on display as well as the harsh environment of the location. Extreme temperatures and lack of water were only two of the hardships endured by the men and animals working the mines. Harmony was in operation in Death Valley from 1883 to 1889.
