My father was working in area in late 70s. On his free time hed go all over looking for arrowheads etc. In the middle of nowhere he stumbled upon a small dugout hole with some kind of wood top. Inside was just enough room to sit and it had a couple shelves carved into it. Kinda forget what he mentioned was in it but i think he said a bottle of wine or something and some canned food. After talking to others in area about it sometime shortly after he took local authorities to the spot and they documented it as one of several hiding spots from Manson. They said Manson and his followers had been staying out there years earlier in an old cabin i think and Manson used to go out in desert and sit in these small spots hed made. Since then ive heard and watched stories about them being in Death Valley and theyve mentioned the hiding spots. During that time he found countless native artifacts, many more modern items but also uncovered dinosaur bones while grading a site. He notified same people, they found more bones, i forget what kind. All but one was turned into local authorities. He still has a huge dinosaur bone on display at his home, i recently saw it and it still amazes me to see it up close.
You're making me want to get down in the desert. We are planning on heading south early next month but unfortunately for us that's the soonest we can go. You might already be aware of this but there are some cool sites to see just south of where you were camped, down toward Ballarat. You really should check out Jail Canyon, lots to see there.
Ah, yes. A couple of years back, we started up Jail Canyon, but either the road was really rough or I was still unfamiliar with my Jeep, and we turned back. But yes, that and the Pleasant Canyon loop both sound like worthy journeys.

@@artistic-off-road About 2 years ago I tried to duplicate a hike done by two RUclips women, Wonderhussy and Jenni Gives, up Lemoigne Canyon. I went by myself and managed to get lost on the way back. I was rescued by Park Rangers. I was 76 at the time and 'way past my prime. About a year ago I hiked to the grave of poor Mr. Lemoigne (short & easy) and left a coffee cup on his grave. Jenni Gives left a nice tombstone there for him. He was said to be a very nice gentleman who made excellent coffee. Now there's a tiny spot in Death Valley that is forever France.
@@artistic-off-road The Pleasant Canyon loop is pretty tough, especially the part that drops down to Briggs Camp and to tell you the truth, while I think we could do it without too much trouble, it's a little more than I want to do. You might do a little research on Chicken Rock before trying that one. The part that comes up from Ballarat to the World Beater Mine is not too difficult all the way to the top near Rodgers Pass but making the loop going that direction, things get much tougher.
@ExploringCabinsandMines Really? Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of the order? www.nps.gov/orgs/aviationprogram/upload/unmanned-aircraft-in-national-parks.pdf That would be an interesting loophole, however.
@artistic-off-road Someone told me the same thing about one of my videos and in doing my research I came up with standing outside the border of the park although I can't remember where I saw it, my favorite video is from my drone in DV National Park it's also my least popular video! 😢 😭 in the end you can see I'm standing on the road which is the boarer also. ruclips.net/video/8z1FHeRT09I/видео.htmlsi=zcnIkK-DaiYdXJKH
Those Indians were never pushed off their lands in that area. They saw a much better life and moved elsewhere. WWII provided a lot of jobs for them. Many went to work on military bases.

I think they were semi-nomadic, leaving the scorching hot lower desert for cooler higher elevations not too far away like the high Sierras. Death Valley in the summer is almost uninhabitable. Even lizards have a hard time surviving there.

@IanMcSlater Woah. Intriguing. I assume the cabin they mentioned is Barker Ranch? Sounds like an amazing collection. 🙏
Totally awesome. What an adventure! Thanks for sharing. Wish you many great journeys. Take care.
Interesting little video. Thanks for making and sharing
Good job on the video!
I plan my hikes and download the area before i leave with Onx maps no need to guess anything.

Were you in death vvlley or panimiint valley? Totally different valleys seperated by a mountain range.
Death Valley National Park proper.
Drones are prohibited in Death Valley
These shots are outside of the park boundaries near the Argus range. 😉
Death Valley is much larger than Death Valley Natl Park. It’s ok outside park boundaries.
You can stand outside of a Park and fly a drone inside the boundaries.
