This is no armchair general or Monday morning quarterback to
expose the Gold Rush myth. I was there. Rode, ate, worked (a little) side by
side with the cast members of the widely acclaimed and groundbreaking Discovery
television reality show. A real gold strike for the Discovery Channel in its
inaugural season, it was followed by more scintillating seasons which included
new cast members working on different claims. I am restricting my discussions
exclusively with those I associated with: Todd Hoffman's original group - Greg,
James, Jim, Chris, Dave, Jack and Todd himself, of course. It is hoped that by
sharing with you some of the most intimate and behind the scenes shots of what
actually took place will reveal to you what reality is and is not. You be the
judge.
