High Sierra Topix

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.

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 ?
Me: Well...there's this guy on HST....

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.
