Came across great SW shots of the Gildart’s via http://willfishforwork.com. The writing is interesting and I particularly liked this shot and the story with it:

 ©Bert Gildart: ” Surely anyone over age 55 can remember seeing the old teams of 20 mules pulling their load of “20-Mule Team Borax” in the highly dramatized TV series Death Valley Days hosted by Ronald Reagan. In real life, the mules were pulling their loads from Harmony Works, located about two miles from where we’re now docked at Sunset Campground. From Harmony, the teams pulled loads 165 miles to the train depot in Mojave.”
