Abandoned Hiking Climbing Gear - Common?
#16
(2021-12-24, 10:19 PM)DeathValleyDazed Wrote: Now last week in DEVA hiking south from The Devil's Cornfield to Tucki Mountain's northeast side to explore a no-name canyon two canyons north of Trellis Canyon I stumbled across two gear packs of rock climber gear on a small ridge out on the alluvial fan about three miles from the highway. This was a peculiar place to leave gear because it was about a mile or two from the nearest canyon as well as three miles from the highway.
I just stumbled across a "possible" solution to this mystery over at reddit in a thread titled "Lost (City) Aztlan in SW Desert" discussing a search for an entrance to this "lost city" under The Panamints via a tunnel/tube near the entrance to Trellis Canyon. Disclaimer: I seriously doubt such a lost city exists under The Panamints!

I'm attempting to contact this individual to confirm whether it's his abandoned gear or not. I'lll keep you posted. These cut and pasted quotes (sic) are from two years ago which makes the timeline a possibility? The main abandoned gear evidence is highlighted in BOLD

Hi, I’ve been researching since 2009 a city that lies underground in the Panamint Mountains, California. I believe it is liked to Aztlan, the birthplace of the Aztec people. I also believe it is one of the seven cities of Cibola. Seven cities of gold, 4 of which are in Death Valley, Grand Canyon, Mt. Shasta, San Pedrir Mt. Baja Peninsula, MX. Could these underground cities possibly liked to the last Nova and Hopi legend of the Emergence from Sipapu?
The city was mentioned in a couple of news clippings from the early 1900s to 1947, but written off as fiction. Has anyone searched for this site? One possible entrance lies just inside Trellis Canyon on the eastern slope overlooking the Salt Creek conservation area. I have been there twice but could not get up to the cave entrance. It’s rough country. Thx


I found the entrance on the first trip out. Hiked in by myself but it took about 14 hours in/out. Too rough for 4wd. Second trip I took a buddy and climbing gear but he got heat exhaustion on day two and I had to leave all our gear cache’d out there & get him out. Gear is still there, I haven’t been back. The Air Force have a base on the Wingate Pass end (China Lake) so they probably looted all the gold years ago. I’m thinking these may be places to relocate once the sun gets too hot again? We relocated to the ozarks but the caves out here have a lot of issues. Cave ins happen a lot. I wonder if that’s what caused the Anasazi to move to the cliff dwellings out in your area? Sun got too hot to be outside?
