Helpfulness
Favorite thing: This is a 24-hour interactive visitor kiosk. Designed and operated by the Board of Trade, the kiosk will provide around-the-clock visitor information to travelers. The unit, designed to withstand the harsh elements. It works very simply, it is a touch pad screen and it offers all kinds of information for the whole county. Very helpful I think. Located right next door to the Twenty Mule Team Museum, 26962 Twenty Mule Team Road Boron, CA 93516.
