    It's ridiculous that people need to feel it necessary to burn up history, no matter who the people are or were. It's history, and history demands to be remembered. Thankfully, this video retains history and I hope that it is appreciated. Thank you for this gift.

      Yes. I was into exploring local ruins years ago and, if a place is left unattended, at some point you hear that it was burned down or demolished. It's morbid to want to preserve a place that has a notorious history, yet it is history. The Manson story is so long ago now that it's just simply American lore. I know if I could've visited this place as-is, it would not be to glamorize the Manson family, but to just be in an actual place of world renown infamous notoriety.

    Was there in 1992, looked much the same. There were pickled beans and canned jars on the kitchen shelves, sheets on the bed; still in use by various miners/prospectors. The white bus was long gone, but the Pomegranate tree had delicious fruit! Found old rifle shells out back....

    6:10 right where those pipes are coming out of the wall is where there used to be a small cabinet. If I'm not mistaken it was in that small cabinet that Charles Manson spent his last moments of freedom. When the ranch was raided by the law he hid in that cabinet and it was only because a small lock of his hair was sticking out of the door that he was located and arrested.

    Spent many nights in this cabin, with a nice fire, protected from the wind and cold of the desert. Once the mystique and darkness dissipate, the beauty of the desert is revealed. Unfortunately, careless campers burned down a piece of American history, dating back long before Charlie and others drove their bus up Goler Wash. FOG

    it's an understandable shame that they did not preserve this little piece of hell on earth for posterity. too bad charlie didn't just express his hatred musically rather than take revenge on the guests of the house where he experienced his personal betrayal. collateral damage in a personal war. it'd be interesting to hear charlie's verdict for charlie seeing as an unaffiliated 8 1/2 month old fetus lost its chance at life. whether he believed in guilt or not, there was nothing more innocent than an untainted creature about to enter life, and having been the catalyst to set the theft in motion, the blame has to be attributed in one direction or the other like it or not. no amount of psychology or semantics can undo that

"Forgiveness is between them and God. It's my job to arrange the meeting." the fetus was almost a baby, it had nothing to be forgiven for yet. "Revenge is an act of passion. Vengeance is an act of justice." Only the just can bring about justice. Only G-d or G-d appointed judges can judge righteously. May the LORD have mercy on us all.
