Subject A Little Trip. 
  I just got back from a trip to Death Valley and had a wonderful time. I went 
to Furnace Creek and looked up at the Pinamint Mountain Range to try to find 
the Arches that were said to be in the sides of the mountains that were made 
by a previous civilization of people. I had been told by a dowsers person 
that the Arches had been covered by a land slide and were now under about 2 
feet of rock and other material. I had made a dowsing rod and taught how to 
use it. I directed it towards the mountain and did get a positive pick up. 
My son and I then went up a road to get closer to the mountains and got on 
our borrowed trail bikes but they wouldn't start although we had operated 
them two days before. 
  Our next attempt was to go up the back side of the mountains by going up 
Emigrant Road up to a Agureberry Point. We got up there OK and climbed over 
the side of the mountain at about the 6,300 feet level. It had been snowing 
and about 3 inches of snow was on the ground with high winds.  We were going 
along pretty good till a cloud started coming over us and we turned back. 
  It might be better to try it in May or June when it's not raining, snowing, 
high winds and cold.
  Our next project was to find the cabin where Charles Manson (the leader of 
the group of people who had murdered Sharon Tate, the movie star back in 
1969). We finally found it by taking Emigrant Road over to a ghost town 
called Balarat. This is right on the north side of the Naval Weapons Testing 
Center. We even went past one of their remote radars when going into the 
ghost town. The fighter jets fly so low that in the ghost town there is a 
large black dog who chases the jets just like other dogs chase cars. That 
dog in convienced that he is chasing off the jets when he runs after them. 
It's quite a funny sight to see.  From the ghost town we went down a rough 
road for 15 miles and then up a four wheel drive vehicle, high clearance 
road, for 4.1 miles to the east. I have a 4 wheel drive Toyota pickup so we 
made it OK. We then came to a mining company where a person by the name of 
Keith Lensey lives and he told us (my son Dave and I) about some of his 
experiences of seeing weird things out on the Death Valley Lake. Things like 
once he saw something going on out on the lake that looked like a carnaval 
with lights going on and when he went out to it some of the lights started 
going out and all the other lights started going up together in the sky.
  Keith told me that I should go about 1 and a half more blocks down the road 
and turn to the right at some trees.  There used to be an ex-marine in the 
area that was somewhat crazy. He used to come out and put a gun on you and 
make you salute the flag and then you would have to give him a couple of 
dollars, then he would allow you to come into the area. A few years back he 
and his dog were found burned up in his cabin.  It was getting dark now and 
just about 300 years past some low hanging tree that have some weid looking 
birds or bats in them we found the Manson cabin.  This cabin is actually 
called the Myer Place and is own by the Myer family. They let people use it 
as long and you leave it the way you found it. It is a rock house with a 
kitchen, front room and one or more bedrooms. It was said that Manson and 
his lady friends had come in with a bus containing a lot of clothes. As they 
would use the clothes and get them dirty they would throw them away and put 
on some more clothes out of the bus. Manson was captured by being found in 
the kitchen right hand cabinet where he was hiding. He was then put in the 
Independence, Calif. jail. 
  So that is part of my experiences during the trip to Death Valley.
