This was for fun.. Remember the Borax 20 Mule team? Here's what it takes to make the wheels.

Knew a VP at Borax when I was a kid. Got free passes to Disneyland (not the ABCDE tickets but a free pass to any ride.) That was a long time ago.

Actually, that was fun to watch. The Norm Abrams of wagon wheels.
If you don't know where you're going, then any path will get you there.

My wife walked by as I was watching these. She asked if I ever got tired of looking at things on the computer. I explained that it was interesting to see how they made the wheels for the 20 mule team borax wagons. Her: What ?? How did that pop up on your computer ?

I like to do random searches and see what I find. If I think it might be of interest and somewhat close to the Sierra, I post it.
