The Calico Mine Ride was the first attraction or "ride" that Walter Knott, along with Bud Hurlbut created for people who came to his harm for his wife's famous cooking.
In the 60's, it was built for a staggering 1,000,000 dollars.
The trains were hand built by Bud himself.
Knotts Berry Farm used to be absolutely awesome back in the 1970's! It had a family/ old West feel that was unique and it was fantastic for kids. Also, they had one of the best fireworks shows ever! So sad the way things have changed there.

at 2:22 that is the improper way of using at a stoping drill, im not even sure how that would even work out for the guy? unless you work at a mine, i dont think anyone else would know what i am talking about.
