I Love To Be Inspired By Unbelievable Stories

So I heard a story recently about this real life minecraft guy. This happened years ago during the gold rush out west. He and his mule were riding through the mountains and they came upon a place that was impassable. So he thought instead of going all the way around he'd just dig right through that mountain. No fancy machinery, just a pick axe and a shovel. So he dug for a while....and when i say a while I mean 38 YEARS. Yep. He dug for 38 years. Some say he was obsessed...i'd just say that's dedication right there. Oh yeah, he finally made it out to the other side. Packed up his stuff and left. No one heard from him since. I'd like to think he found some gold in them there hills.
