Still not sure. I have to spend the day in Granite Bay and Sacramento on Sunday, so it's doubtful.
What is the "Glory Hole?"

Yeah, I pretty much had the same reaction when I saw it listed on the map.
It's some natural attraction at the Monticello Dam.

I didn't look but it is either the outtake for the dam producing an effect like a toilet bowl flushing or it is at the bottom where all the fish congregate for the particles of food that have been flushed through the dam. Yellow, can you provide a clearer or more accurate explanation?
Glory Hole is usually used for the latter because of the fish, but I have heard it for the drainage swoosh also. I may need to go look for it now.
BTW, I think you two have your minds in the gutter.

Sheesh! Don't you Kalifornians know your history?
"Glory Hole" is a generic term that was used to described surface exploration for gold during the Cali Gold Rush. Most Glory Holes are (were) 10-20 feet deep either in the ground or in a hillside. Productive Glory Holes became actual mines.

The Onion ran an article on Glory Holes, once.
