The Top Five Spots of Southern Death Valley - caves, ruins, mountains and more!
While there is not a "bad" spot in Death Valley National Park (other than Badwater), the southern section of the park and its surrounding areas does not receive as much attention as some of the more mainstream areas. However, for the intrepid explorer - and the novice visitor, this is an area full of possibilities, and a great gateway zone for adventures. Starting slightly outside the park boundaries in Shoshone, California, the below are five amazing spots in southern Death Valley:
1) Dublin Gulch Cave Homes. Carved out of volcanic ash in the 1870's on, these unique structures are readily accessible off of CA-127 with a short walk. While well-preserved, these cave homes were occupied unti...

    My grandma was the historian for Chula Vista about 20 years ago and she showed me a book of legends from the local tribes and in it was a few “ monsters “ making me wonder if the Pv monster isn’t a modified version of those tail. There was a fire bird and a skin walker type creature amongst others. They were said to roam big mesa or the area near the Otay damn.

    Generally most of Nevada isn't really practical to live in, never really was. Too much money without resources, besides it was damaged by the nuclear testing. Some further historic expeditions before Nevada as a territory even existed.

    Truly out there. I'm one out of three with two fails on bike and I'm not getting any younger. Bring water and stash some along the way. Bring food and don't rush. Leave early. Tell someone where you are heading and when you should return. Ranger said he rescues people regularly. You don't have to summit to enjoy the views and it's not something you have your way with. Rest in the shade of bushes and you can make it.

    Have you visited Nelson Nevada ? Nelson is a very "Alive" with apparitions ! Go in the evening and visit around the area next to the cemetery. There is also a 'gallow' in this area still. A friend had a very scary moment with 2 separate places I showed him. He's in his 60's and never experienced life after here before. Today...he is a "Knower" and not a 'maybe' believer. He saw 8 people on one day and about 50 people another day. These are not spirits...Just "real alive" people in another dimension and sometimes enter ours . That's when you seem them. Estimation of time...late 1800's to early 1900's dress attire
