For episode three of American Dream TV, I talked about Almaden Valley Open Spaces - Mt Umunhum & Quicksilver County Park with a veteran, Wade Walter, who worked up on Mount Umunhum when it was an active Air Force base back in 1969. Here are some interesting historical facts! Almaden Air Force Station was shut down in 1980. At that time, the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District acquired the land. It was open to the public in 2017, which means you can enjoy that space today. Neighboring this open space at Mount Umunhum is another area called Quicksilver County Park. Quicksilver has its history in the mining industry (believe it or not!), not with gold, but with silver and quicksilver was used to mine that. Quicksilver is a nickname for Mercury. Mercury was mined extensively during the California Gold Rush, beginning in 1848. South San Jose has some of the oldest and most productive mercury mines in the United States.
