| The same no-bullshit, fun-at-all-costs coverage of the San Jose area and elsewhere, including a trip to the Glory Hole, DIY skate construction, "Godzilla Versus Mega Muska," and rollerblading soft target Li'l Chubbs gets a taste of peer pressure and bad influences from the band the Cliftons. Museum presentations include a former miner's shack converted into a theater, where films of horses being lowered into mines are shown; a company store with displays of Park City memorabilia; a series of tunnels salted with "gemstones" for children to explore; an exacting diorama of Ontario Canyon as it appeared in the late 1800s, and a lifelike robotic, mustachioed miner who discusses glory hole days with visitors. Resources were estimated by Watts Griffis and McQuat using assays from 1200 samples taken from the underground workings and glory holes. |
