Yes, that's really a place. That's going into Angels Camp, California and Glory Hole is a boat launch area on New Melones, named after a common term meaning a rich pocket of gold.
There's a rock quarry at the mine site now. I've always wondered how much gold they crushed up making gravel seeing as that area is famous for pocket gold.
Glory hole: I 40 somewhere east of Flagstaff, middle of the night. Pulled into a rest area. Finished my cup of coffee and walked over to the toilets. While standing at the pisser, I glanced over and noticed a hole in the adjacent stall. With an eyeball peeking out.
And quite possibly the most gawd awful long walk from the launch to the truck. /sigh/
ReplyDeleteYou know it. That hike will wear a man out.
DeleteVery close to the Morgan Mine near Carson Hill, where a 195 pound troy block of gold was found.

DeleteAngels Camp. Where the streets are paved with gold.
DeleteWhodda thunk it?
They had a flood in Sonora after a gully washer quite a few years back and traffic got backed up because all the locals were panning the potholes.
DeleteThat right there is having a bad case of 'The Gold Bug'.
