Various odd and mysterious stuff assaults my attention. Some of it, I absolutely MUST share. As I find materials about various desert mysteries, I'll post them here, and when they reach a critical mass, I'll organize them, I promise.


• TROGDOLYTES UNDER DEATH VALLEY (& more): can you dig it?
• DEATH VALLEY'S MOVING ROCKS (& more) (& search): rock'n'roll?
• DEATH VALLEY'S LOST MINES (& search): more for the taking?
  
  
• CALICO EARLY MAN SITE (& search): were humans here 200,000 years ago?
• HEADLESS HORSEMAN OF CALICO (& search): who was this poor fellow?
• THE LOST GOLD BRICK OF BARSTOW: or is it buried in Calico?
  
  
• A DESERT SASQUATCH (& search): do you believe in yetis-bigfoots?
• THE SECRETS OF THE MOJAVE (from): do you believe in flying saucers?
• PHANTOM STAGECOACH OF BORREGO (& search): d'ya believe in ghosts?
• PROJECT REDBOOK CALIF MYSTERIES: can you believe anything?
  
  
• MOJAVE: THE MUSICAL (as PDF) (or HTML): would you sing about it?
• SINGING-BOOMING KELSO DUNES (& search): have you heard them?
• THE MOJAVE PHONE BOOTH IS GONE (& search): and you never call!
  
  And then there are other tales - search for legends of the Lizard People and Mojave Ghosts and Desert Mysteries and Alien Treasure and Desert Conspiracies and Giant Rock UFOs - if you DARE!
  
  Yeah, well, maybe some of those are a bit too mysterious and outré for you. You could just search on the Lost PegLeg and Lost Dutchman and more lost mines. And check out the other HOFC links
