CAA members Roger & Sue Murray attended last weekend’s Western Vehicles Symposium in Santa Ynez, California. As one of its live demonstrations, the symposium featured a twenty-mule team.

Historically, twenty-mule teams are perhaps most famous for pulling frieght wagons filled with Borax out of California’s Death Valley.

In this instance (last weekend), the team pulled a number of freight wagons filled with symposium attendees. And Sue made a video!

After the team and wagons look like they’re too far away to see, wait for Sue to zoom in … and then watch for the mule jumping over the chain as the team turns.
