the funny thing is what is primitive living to us today was modern times back then, that always amazes me in these travel spot i find .... thanks for your kind words Tim...take care
Russ, my dad grew up in Boron, CA they have an annual celebration called 20 Mule-Train days. Grew up w/the stories about the 20 Mule-train for borax. Thank you for the post.
WOW, what a place, right in the middle of nowhere, just desert, hot, humid, desert, WOW!!! Incredible Russ, very pretty scenery!! You can still watch "Death Valley Days" on the WESTERN channel on tv of course, I don't remember the channel number, but, the show always starts out with those poor mules pulling those wagons, I always feel so very sorry for them!!! Dale Robertson narrates the story of the movie.
My goodness.............it is REALLY barren in Death Valley!!! I have never been there. But I got a look at it from the help of RVerTV. Thank you Russ for another great video.
Great video Russ and thanks for taking the time to stop and show us what may we might would miss. It's Guys and Gals like you that make the Rv travel world great here on TH-cam and other places. Stop The Madness Start The Adventure
Another great video Russ, I haven't been there for over 40 years, it still looks the same except for the visitor centers. You have now given me the urge to go back and explore this great place.
Thanks for showing us some History we may otherwise have missed. I hope to travel in my motor home when I retire, and see the sites your showing us myself. History is so amazing. That's something none of my old teachers would have never thought I'd have said. Good God those mountain goats had big gonads, yep, they probably recognize that one.
That was pretty! Never thought I would say that about Death Valley! I used 20 Mule Team Borax in my boys diaper pail. Oh the joys of cloth diapers!!! LOL
I really enjoyed that video! I hope to get out there and would love to visit all the places you stop at. In the meantime, I get to travel outside my little world by watching your videos. Thank You!
Nice video, wow, Death Valley !! My wife and I still have to go drive their ourselves.... god willing.... thanks for sharing ... BTW, I saw you pulling a trailer.? what size ? Was it a Cargo Trailer conversion. ?
DV is an absolute wonder to see and imagine 1800's / early 1900's life in such an environment. Bring plenty of water to drink
it was a nice road trip
Just ran across this video on 4/30/2022. I always heard about the 20mule team borax growing up. So cool to see the actual place! Thank you, Russ.
WOW Russ, I can only imagine what the folks encountered while working there. Make us grateful to what we have today, Thanks for sharing.
its amazing to think about
Without a doubt! I would give those workers a standing ovation. Be Safe out there!
