I’ve always been amused by the tales of a cave system that legend states is the southern Panamints. The area has since been absorbed into the China Lake complex and is off limits. Coincidence or the real reason they put a base there?!?!?!?
Definitely a fun read at least.

But in all seriousness, I’ve never come across anything in my back country adventures that was more than a glorified alcove. Mineshafts not included. But I don’t explore those in depth (pun intended) for obvious safety reasons.
I will say that with my years of experience with NPS, they could very well be hiding a whole cave system or two. But also that it would have leaked at some point.
