Gold Mine on Taneycomo

[Champ]

What is the story behind the gold mine on the lake?

[Phil Lilley]

The a ship used to leave Branson and pick up gold at the gold mine. Unfortunately, the ship would get robbed on every excursion on its return trip by a pirate ship, equiped with a pirate and cannon. He'd never get the gold though... only rile up the tourists.

I remember that. Years ago. Man I wish I could take my daughter to that. Seemed so real when you're 7 years old.

Snagged.

Wow I remember that!!! I seen the Lake Queen docked over by Roark, when we went to Branson Landing the last trip down. I sure miss the old downtown!!! But this will give my wife and daughters some place to hang after the wife and I are done fishing for the day.
