Gold
Rush continued: This tour is performed from a 1st
person perspective which means that you and your group
will live the day in the life of an early Californian
gold miner. After being greeted by costumed guides
as fresh arrivals to the diggins', your group will
quickly be persuaded to spend the day working the claim
for a percentage of the gold finds. Groups called
'companies' are divided usually by class sizes and given names
in order to maximize time and space during station
rotations which are the bulleted activities listed
above. Groups
rotate in a circular fashion throughout the day until
all stations are complete. A break is given
at midday for participants to eat sack lunches. A hot
lunch can be provided at additional cost and
refreshments are also available on site. The
Company Store has toys, souvenirs, gems and minerals for
sale to those that bring pocket spending money.
After the day's gold findings have been assayed this Gold
Rush Adventure concludes with a dramatic
skit.
Warning:
This tour has been known by the state of California to
cause 'Gold Fever' in an alarming number of it's
participants! Nevertheless... we hope to see soon!
