"I guess this might be fun," says Vinnie.

"Where are we going again?" asks Gino.

Empire Mine!
"What's so special about there?" asks Gino.

"Trails?!" exclaims Vinnie.
"You mean as in roads with wildlife poop??"


Well, it used to be the largest source of gold in California. It also has really cool trails!
"Trails?!" exclaims Vinnie.
"You mean as in roads with wildlife poop??"

Sigh. Yes, I guess.
"Wheeee!" shouts Bruno.
"Let's find us some wildlife poop!"
"Let's find us some wildlife poop!"
"Seriously?" asks Carmela.
"The boys really like eating poop?!"
"The boys really like eating poop?!"

"Hey!" shout Bruno and Vinnie.
"Don't knock it until you try it!"
"Don't knock it until you try it!"

"No thanks, boneheads," replies Carmela.
"I'll, uh, take your word for it."
"I'll, uh, take your word for it."

In addition to, um, wildlife poop, Empire mine also has a lot of the mining equipment used to mine for gold on display. It was quite fascinating.
"Hey, Vinnie?" asks Bruno.
"Do you know how to work this thing?"
"Do you know how to work this thing?"

"So where do the cookies come out from?" inquires Bruno.

If you're ever in the area, take a trip to see Empire Mine. Just be careful of a gang of hoodlums I heard that target people crossing a bridge. They empty all your pockets and search for cookies!
