Gold Rush Hints
How do I find Jake?
1 of 9: Have you visited Coloma yet?
2 of 9: Have you fully explored the hotel there?
3 of 9: If you haven't, then go to Coloma.
4 of 9: If you have, then you should have the aerogram from Jake. If not, go back to the hotel.
5 of 9: Read the aerogram -- it gives you a clue.
6 of 9: The stubborn friend is James' Mule.
7 of 9: If you don't have James' Mule, then go back to Fort Sutter and find it!
8 of 9: If you do have James' Mule, then simply follow the instructions in the Aerogram.
9 of 9: Take the mule into the wilderness, and type FOLLOW MULE. Then follow his movements carefully -- if you lose track of him, you won't be able to finish the game!
