Additional Details:
It is little wonder that the 20-mule team borax outfits of the late 1800's became world famous. They hauled 46,000 pounds of borax and their own water and hay over the arduous 165 mile, ten day trip to Mojave via Wingate Pass. The unbelievably long string of mules were controlled by a 125 foot check line that was connected with the lead animals.
