The MIne is a realy good Learning Place for school children and the Fossils are an eye for most... The rest of the place is one GIANT SHIT-HOLE and 90% of the Locals are either Inbreads or inclined to take Family Closeness to the Lowest of Lowest extremes. If you have ever seen or heard of a movie called "THE HILLS HAVE EYES" this sums Mount Morgan up to a tee.
