The Lost City
 
This location was the site of the Anasazi Indians even though the Pueblos are replicated the site does have a lot of original artifacts on the grounds.
 
We had to be really cautious with this one there was a truck driving around on the property....Marcee was so full of questions like Rick how are we getting in....there are people living there etc etc I was like so lets do it lol. I got legs I can run....that is if you can catch me so what did I have to lose.
 
She asked me if we would be shot and I was like well this is not FL..people our west are more about the scenery they wont shoot you for adoring it.
 
We noticed a pond to our right...and a step incline...we climbed it and came out in a place that had old farm machinery. The museum was very old looked more like a giant stone building....had that Alamo look to it lol. The sidewalk was dimly lit and I told Marcee we would walk around. We found a monument...and behind us near a docking area behind the museum a few vehicles. Marcee thought there would be others around and at this point we walked quietly past the vehicles It seemed very possible that others lived in quarters of the museum but who knows they could just be vehicles that maintain the park and grounds.
 
We walked around into a picnic area. we seen a pool and a parking lot with a locked gate. That trail led off into some heaving hills and brush. I wondered if the real lost city was back on this trail. People say a few miles from here is the actual lost city site. But where the museum was built was also the site of a indian village.
 
We came back around to the front of the museum I took a few photos of the outside but we kept moving. We found a fire pit area with steps leading to it...a giant stone slab with petroglyph and around the bend some Pueblos.
 
We had fun at the pueblos there were spiders in them and they were very hot but we both took turns climbing in them. Marcee was having to much fun and me I was thinking man I got to take my sons to school soon hahaha it would not be easy to get home on time as the sun would come up in a couple hours.
 
I heard a few noises on the museum property like a banging sounds, a few voices etc one of them I knew was coming from a house further down the road and over the fence. But a few others not so sure about I catch little things here and there while hiking around. e gave the grounds a quick walkthrough taking photos of the old farm tools like this old tractor made out of iron.  

 
We made our way back to the car and hiked along the railroad tracks. I did notice one thing about the Lost City and that is the energy. The energy here is very very high for me its like a high I felt more energy here then any place we visited last night.
 
It was a cool place as it sat on a hill overlooking town I think Marcee liked this place a lot it was like a playland for us to explore.
 
After we got back into the car we had one other place called St. Joseph Cemetery. I did not find it I went according to the map and directions but still a no go. Where the cemetery was suppose to be was a couple private homes and vast desert.
 
It was pretty funny cause Marcee and I drove down a dark street and saw two zombies. I am not kidding those were goddamn zombies man. There was some old lady with a hunch freaking hobbling along then some weird guy jumping around like crazy. I looked to my left and told Marcee where the hell did I take us to a insane hospital. She was pretty spooked first time I seen her scared all night.
 
Well I was looking for the cemetery driving up and down the road. I turned around sat at an intersection and pow there comes this weirdo towards us. Marcee is like step on it I am laughing my ass off I am thinking please the Lord comes equipped for all situations.
 
I pull away quickly the guy has his head tilted to the side coming towards us I am laughing...freaking food is sliding off the dashboard me I am thinking man I need to toke another one here.
 
Well we never found St. Joseph's have to do more research but in light of things after turning around 10 times down dead end gravel roads and such....the zombies were enough for me the hell with the cemetery after seeing that man.
 
So on our way back we had to start heading home I seen another sign for a cemetery which is listed on the genealogy site. I figured what the hell a cemetery is a cemetery. So I take this grave and dirt road. There is so much growth on both sides of the road my car is practically hitting branches. I got no windows in the car so yeah not fun.
 
We come on out to an old classic beat up car and the road splits but its blocked with wood so we would either have to hike it. I did not see the cemetery we got out looked around. Marcee climbed in the car with her beer drank it I took a few photos. We were at this point just having fun cause it was late and all the hard projects for the night were conquered by us.
 
I went further down the road and thought Christ we are in a Rob Zombie movie like the Devils Rejects. I see a few old cars abandoned...parked including a school bus....a beat up house with rvs on the property....things hanging off the fence like tin cans....and just all kinds of things hanging from the trees etc it was eerie back here and think about it I drove past the place 4 times. We took a wrong turn ended up in a giant sand lot I was spinning the car in circles trying to shine my lights looking for St. Thomas Cemetery...and all I found was an overgrown house that look like it was saying Lord Rick please go before they eat you.
 
I decided to take the road further back around this school bus and ended up going up and down these rolling hills with rock formations to our right. There was a private house way out in the middle of the desert but we kept straight and almost got stuck as the road was getting worst. If anything the cemetery may have been back here and probably is a private one but the sign sure looks nice out by the road that says turn here St. Thomas Cemetery.
 
I know how that works people go back here to visit the cemetery and end up being supper on the table ha. Well the dark sky was lightening up I could see plant life, mountains, even that house way off. No sun but the night was diminishing fast.
 
I looked at my clock and was like man I got over 60 miles to get Marcee home and get my kids off to school haha. I took the scenic route all the way back. Marcee bought me an energy drink earlier I should have drank it and didn't I was feeling it believe me.
 
As I drove out of town to my right I could see the Valley Of Fire just a bright red series of rocks and mountains a few miles off in the distance. You could see the canyon we went through miles away. As we pulled further away the sun came up over the mountains.
 
This road we took was pretty bad at times I could not see the road cause it would dip low or incline so steep you come over the hill and pow have to turn the curve quickly. It was almost an hour I been driving in canyons...at times along Lake Mead...and vast desert. Marcee looked really sleep she just turned her head towards me and was relaxing.
 
I woke her up probably scared her turned a corner at like 80 mph haha sorry Marcee was trying to make up for lost time. We stopped at a scenic area near Lake Mead and she went to the bathroom. I had a few snacks while driving and eventually when we started heading to our right we went right threw the mountains and seen one of the best views of Las Vegas.
 
The drive was nice I mean we got to see rock formations....giant holes in rocks...and a lot of scenic views. I dropped off Marcee then flew home I never made it so fast...I had to get my son to one school come back to the house take the other two to school.
 
I slept for a couple hours with sneezer went to bed at like 9am woke up at 2pm and he was still by my side staring at me haha. I always manage to get myself in trouble with where I am living and yeah I did but hell man I got to hike in the Valley Of Fire...visit The Lost City....and see dead bodies how many people can say they did that huh? lol
 
It was a great exploration and will make a nice addition to the site. I did over 4 hours of EVP recordings, took a couple hundred photos, and although we did not see anything of the paranormal we do have a nice exploration to add to the site.
 
I did notice at night or during the day it was just all around beautiful. I mean even at night in the dark you could still see the formations and rocks quite well. They call this place Valley Of Giants you will understand as to why once I get this onto our site.
 
The Anasazi's in this area disappeared nobody knows what happened to them but its a really interesting area. I will make a return trip out here hopefully next time find those cemeteries and get more people to come on out for this. Its a great place and I think there will be a lot more to see and experience here.
 
It was a great trip and like I was telling Marcee imagine doing something like this alone. I have in the past and its not fun. What is fun is being able to share such things with others. The scenic drive home was as nice as the fact that as we drove away we could look back and be like yeah we were there!
 
Do not forget Thursday 8pm Pacific Time is our radio show program this week. Also Friday I will be meeting with someone who is working with tv networks to get a live camera crew to follow me around at a haunted location that is very historical. I will consider bringing others with me Friday morning if they wish to tour the place during the day with me.  Things are coming together and were definitely covering all the locations around Vegas that are relevant.
 
We still have some other cool trips planned and well although this one was a big one we will return for more exploration try to find out what these aliens are in the desert that people are seeing! Marcee said to me it was one of the best times of her life and I am glad cause that goes to creating memories that last. Its nice when we seen paranormal things to but even if we do not we know there out there you know there out there and thus we will continue our journeys.
 
Marcee did very well again I find females to be way better investigators a lot of the men the last few places we were based have really lacked energy and effort. Marcee did well she climbed all the rocks with me a few times we helped eachother climb...and she stuck it out the entire night my crazy driving...and odd hikes.  I know I will be taking the next few days to try to stay off my leg I hurt my ankle also. If I was not so poor as I am I would get something for the terrain here but its okay no pain no glory we did it and Ill be talking about it on my next radio show!
 
Below you will find Marcee's report she sent out....she did it from her cell phone but she at least wanted others to read about her night out. She originally wrote me asking me about going hiking and I was like well PGS does plenty of that so it was nice to have her come on out to help me. I would have hated to do this place alone. It was really her first time doing something like this so I wanted it to be memorable for her and hopefully for some of you can I can do the same!
Peace,
