20 Mule Team

Lucky Three Ranch sponsored the replication of the old 20-Mule Team Borax Wagons just in time for the New Year’s Day Rose Parade where they made their first debut. Owner of the 20-Mule Team, Bobby Tanner has been exhibiting the 20-Mule Team at Bishop Mule Days for many years with re-makes of the old Borax wagons, but these current wagons are an actual replication done by Dave Engel, Wheelwright, Blacksmith and Carriage Restorer from Montana with help from multiple sponsors like Garon and Donna Stutzman of Maryland, including myself in partnership with the Death Valley Conservancy. Their second appearance was in the National Independence Day Parade in Washington D.C. on the Fourth of July. On the way home back to Bishop, California we had the honor and privilege of their company for two nights and a day here at the Lucky Three Ranch. We all had a wonderful time together and several people from the community were able to come here to view the 20-Mule Team and the new wagons! What fun!
