I just found out that the grave at 14:26 belongs to "Francis Marion "Shady" Myrick" the Godfather of Rockhounding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He used to travel from Johannesburg to Death Valley, that's 100 miles!!! in the early 1900's!!!! with 2 burros!
Shady Myrick is an ancestor of mine. I visited the grave last October. He wasn't Shady as one would think by his name. A mineral is named after him...Myrickite I believe. Great little bar there, The Joint. Thanks for the video.
Oh man that's awesome. I spent a few hours reading up on him. I remember coming across the grave and just thinking it was definitely a special one. I didn't read the name or anything until I got home and put the video together. Thanks for checking it out :)
You're awesome for pointing that out! There's a lot going on there on that contraption. the whoozy whatzzey and the chingadera... All jokes aside, this video is less than half of what I really saw. Unforgettable. Lost in time, but still alive.
@@HereIsWhereWeAreSnow ball hall is next to butte road the gondola is between the glass house and the north forty house. all the houses are red with white trimmings. They own the most of the mountain, You might want to chat with my aunt Goldie. She can share a few stories.
Absolutely! Yeah we should dig sometime, I might get a chance to hit Azusa this weekend. I usually hike in Friday nights so I get a parking spot lol. Let me know next time you're up there! I sent you an email too, might have hit your spam cause the links....
