   Many People knew that Skyfire was best known for releasing countless airplane videos, as well as a handful of great steam locomotive titles for Railfans of all ages from the first one: Ghost Train on the Nevada Northern with Ten Wheeler number 40 in 1988, to the final show: Steaming over the Montana Rockies with Spokane Portland & Seattle 4-8-4 number 700 from 2002/2003, but in this program, Jim Mitchell & his crew traveled to the mountains & even under the sea to witness the missing pieces of history underwater from boulders, different types of fish, & canoes to a special steamboat named after the lake itself while the narration was provided by Johnathan Tyson who is also the on-screen host. Aside from the sea, there are Animals, Plants, Mountains (with a mention of Mt. Shasta in Northern California near the Oregon border), Volcanoes, Glenbrook Harbor (with vintage Black & White still images), & Emerald Bay with one of the boats being hauled by a semi-truck, as well as some helicopter angles. The Music in this program is very interesting indeed, not to mention some animated examples of how Volcanoes work as well as the forming of the Lake itself. There is also an interview with Professor Charles Goldman, Martin Rose, Susan Lindstrom, & Judge Chappell.

   Note: According to the Robotic Underwater Camera, the footage in the main program was recorded during June of 1993, which at the exact same time, the American Midwest was struck by the biggest flood causing other trains & automobiles to detour on other routes that haven’t been affected by the floodwaters of the Mississippi River & others.
