Some of you might remember an ancient TV show called "Death Valley Days". It was sponsored by 20 Mule Team Borax. We visited an old Borax mine this morning. The mule teams pulled loads weighing up to 36 tons. At the end of the borax wagons was a water tank holding 1600 gallons of water and behind that was a wagon full of feed for the mules because the destination was 160 miles away and it took 10 days to get there. Boy does that sound like a fun trip. This park has 4 big areas of sand dunes. We spent several hours this afternoon exploring the biggest dune field. Walking in loose sand is not one of Jenny's favorite activities but I kept telling her it was a really good workout for leg muscles. Anyway, were done here. Should be in Nevada tomorrow. Our trip is far from over. We're not expecting to be home until this time next month but we have made the turn.
Wow the wagon hasn't deteriorated! I am assuming temps are cool as you have long sleeve shirts on. Tell Jenny walking in sand is not my favorite thing either.
