Borax mine ruins

Borax used to be mined in Death Valley back in the day. I googled where the largest borax mine is, and I was surprised to learn that the largest mine is still in California. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rio_Tinto_Borax_Mine

Mining is desperate work anywhere... in Death Valley it must have been insupportable - I guess the valley often lived up (down?) to its name.

@vignouse ya, not sure why they stopped mining there. Probably cost got too prohibitive over time.

The valley is a place of many contrasts. Like how the abandoned building also symbolizes death.
