The chances I take I do not advice anyone to take!! My sons and I are professionals in surviving the desert. I studied poisonous snakes and if one bit you. By the time you got medical attention. It would be to late. Also some places are covered in mines. some are private property or military( it has taken me years of trying to meet the right people ) if you fall in one hole it can be fatal!! Some of my quests require lots of research from satellite topo, and lots of reading. We just don’t jump in the car and go!! Please follow my advise.. do not do it!! I will post the ones that are rural offer good paranormal activity and what you will need . Some will be known and still opened ghost towns. Either way I will be going there to understand the antelope valley’s history And its ghosts.. There are a few old military posts abandoned buildings that I have come across while 4x4 ing or talking to farmers, security personnel, or the homeless that live out there. As you all know I’m a evp buff!! I will be out trying to capture evp’s. I will also try to bring you the night photography with out editing any off them. I like you to be the judge about what I caught or did not catch. This time due to the distance I will travel. I will try my best to bring you video footage of our quests!!

Llano del Rio

Llano Del Rio was started as a socialist project by Job Harriman in 1913. By 1914 there were about 500 residents in this utopian commune. By 1917, there were water supply problems and there was friction amongst the residents and by 1918, most people had left and Harriman lost Llano Del Rio to bankruptcy. Today ruins are still spread out just off State Route 138 east of Palmdale

Randsburg

 

 

No mine in recent history has been plagued by more legal problems than the Rand mine. First discovered in 1895 by three prospectors who had spent time in the Mojave and Death Valley area with little to show for it, the find created a rush to the area despite the merciless heat and the absence of available water. The mine's legal problems started with two of the original owners agreeing to sell a half interest to an investor as a means of raising cash to construct a mill. The third original owner did not agree and set off a round of legal problems that lasted well into the 1920s. However, the original three owners had by 1897 received some $250,000 for two years work. Eventually, revenues would amount to over $25 million from the Randsburg mines. Submitted by Henry Chenowith.

Garlock

 

     

The southern California deserts can be very inhospitable. And indeed they were to Eugene Garlock who built the first mill to process ore hauled down from the Randsburg mines. The scarcity of water was always a problem for the miners as well as those who operated the mill. The first mill was called the Garlock Pioneer Mill and was soon followed by five more to take care of the increasing amount of ore. There were only a few buildings in Garlock but it did have a school, which doubled as a church, and meeting place for the Garlock Literary Society, which was, considered a positive influence on the town's morals. Garlock lasted until 1903 when the last residents moved away. Several weathered buildings are all that is left of Garlock plus a well-preserved contraption once used to crush ore. Submitted by Henry Chenoweth.

An interesting miner known as Burro Schmidt mined the Garlock area to the point while he was following a vane he actually popped out of the other side of a mountain. The tunnel blasted out of solid rock has a few side passages that dead end. But sure enough if you follow the light you will imerge plum on the opposite side of the mountain where you started. You can find the tunnel in the vacinity of the Garlock shortcut to Ridgecrest Ca. At times I believe short tours may still be available of this engineering marvel (of sorts!). Submitted by Skip Robinson.

Goler

The name of this town came from the belief from some that this was the lost Goler mine. In 1893 the first claim, called Jackass Placer was filed. A town formed around the many placer claims that followed and the town eventually became a stage stop. Eventually the Yellow Aster Mine was discovered.

Keyesville

 

 

A mine was located c.1854 by Captain Richard Keyes, which soon lead to Keysville, the first American community in what eventually became Kern County. A camp formed in random fashion over the hillsides, trails served as streets. The area was so remote and steep, that supplies coming in from the nearest settlement of Visalia (110 miles northwest) had trouble because the terrain was so steep and rugged teams had to be doubled, logs had to be drug behind the wagons to keep control on the way down.

In 1856 an Indian war ensued when San Joaquin tribes went on the warpath, and Keysville became the center of Indian attention due to the fact that miners killed 5 Indians in cold blood nearby. A "fort" was hastily dug on a knoll and riders dispatched to Fort Tejon and Los Angeles (140 miles south) for reinforcements. Later, when soldiers arrived, they found no Indians in the area and occupied Keysville for a while afterward.

Another incident of Indian murder was in 1863 when Indian uprisings in Owens Valley, over the Sierra Nevada Range northeastward. Men were dispatched to help with squelching that problem when they encountered a group of peaceful Indians, who had refused to participate in the Owens Valley uprisings, living seven miles from town. They coldly murdered the group and proclaimed "not a soldier injured."

Houses and buildings in Keysville today are from recent vintage. The "fort" that miners used in their defense can be seen still and the Keys Mine is located in a gulch nearby.

We also will be doing a few cemeteries. We normally do not do them. Due to we cant help those that cant be helped. But, due to claims of being one of the most haunted according to residents we will go and see what we catch.. We will be doing our normal cases also nearby and some residents that need our assistant. This years motto A Wild West Adventure Will be just that to show our residents and fellow ghost hunters in the A.V.(Antelope Valley) and Readers across the world these rare pictures shot At night. I have been meaning to go to these places in the past, but this year I am making plans to go to these places and see what they are all about!
