Nelson Hilltop Mine

Karrie and I parked across the street from the steep mountains which had a rugged path leading on up to a mine. Prior to my climb we found a trail that led us between a series of mountains which are found behind the town of Nelson. I was going to turn this place into another investigation however our hike revealed not much of anything just allot of hiking, giant rocks, heavy desert plant life and these odd colored rocks in a valley.

Karrie was very tired surprisingly I could have went for miles I was feeling myself again like the old days. I am very happy to see myself getting back into rhythm again. The trail we were on was in an open area in the desert. The path split one way to the left led us into a valley surrounded by steep mountains.....rock formations....and what appeared to be a woodsy area of the desert. The path to the right veered off behind Nelson which probably led to the backside of the Techatticup mine.

I went to our left on a trail that became rather rugged. The trail cut deep in a canyon we could have easily could have climbed to our left or right to hike along it. I felt in this small valley their would be mines but no matter what path I took they were dead ends that led to nothing but holes in giant rocks. The area is rather deceptive perhaps. As I was saying at night its a different ball game there are so many paths.....rock formations....mines...and mountains around here. You could spend days climbing and exploring.

Karrie and I on this trail kept hearing a whistling sort of sound. At first it sounded like a bird but then later more and more like a human. You have to understand that we were heading into a valley surrounded by steep mountains. The valley we were in was like a bowl full of rock formations....and desert fauna. It was only a half of mile across so not very big just very steep walls....dunes...and places where anything could hide.

Karrie heard movement within the valley I felt their were ghost here too almost thought I heard whispering myself here. I never found any mines here so perhaps will come back do a day hike very soon of the area maybe even come back this weekend just for a morning return trip.

On the path we came across a giant tree with allot of brush which we had to crouch down go under. To our right we followed this path which took us along a rock wall that dead ended in more brush so I had us turn around. This place probably would be a rock climbers dream so many steep cliffs.

We hiked back a little bit different of a ways more so along the other side of the valleys walls. I felt really watched here I think what is more eerie is when you know your trapped with nowhere else to go. I know something was in the valley with us but it was so packed with hidden jewels around us that anything could hide in the brush, crevices of rocks, and various trails which ran throughout this area.

We finally made it back to the car and I told Karrie I would cross the road climb the mountain and check out this one mine I seen during one of my day trips.

We ran a two way radio test and one of them is not working right you cannot receive reception. If anybody has any two way radios they can donate please let me know. I use the two ways to make my investigations safer and trust me they do save lives.

Karrie drove me almost out of the parking area then I had her park near the main road. What I would end up doing is hiking down the road for a few hundred feet then climb the steep hill to my left. It did not take me long to make it up the steep grade. I had a hard time keeping my footing allot of loose stones and it was steep. At times I would find a flat area I could stand at and I kept in touch with Karrie the entire time just leaving her messages on what was happening.

The moon was out but it would not light my path as it was on the backside of this mountain I was climbing. Behind me I could see the shadow structures of the town of Nelson. I eventually found piles of rocks and climbed them into a little plateau which had a mine entrance way up almost on top of the mountain.

I had a nice view even though it was dark I made 3 quarters up the mountain and things were going smooth for me nothing strange or out of the ordinary.

The mine I was in front had two entrances to get inside that connected  it to the entrance. I had no idea how deep it went or what I would find. I didn't even know if I would get reception.

I then entered the mine by myself as it twist and turned. It really was not all that deep maybe a hundred feet but about half way into the tunnel I found a bucket full of soil and some very old used dynamite sticks scattered within the mine.

It looks like they never completed this place their were no shafts inside just a tunnel to nowhere. Of course I did some EVP recordings in the mine even took a break for a bit to smoke.

I then left the mine going back outside deciding to get more daring. I started to climb the steep rocks above the first entrance I found. Most mountains within the El Dorado canyon area have more then one entrance dug into them. Unfortunately I was not finding any other entrances so perhaps this was at one time the start of something never finished.

I climbed back down to the mine and worked my way along a ledge hoping to find any other mines in this hilltop when all of sudden a white ball of light grazed my head I was like WTF....because at first I said oh its my head lamp but the light was dancing all around me. I told Karrie in my two way radio that their is strange lights going on around me up on the mountain. I stood still this time and caught the light with my naked eye this time no glimpses and I knew it wasn't my light.

So then since I could not hear out of my two way I could not hear what Karrie had to say. So I told her if its not you shining lights on the mountain get out of there and pick me up down the road. I also told her if it is her just to stay put while I continue to investigate the mountain.

I heard Karrie start up her vehicle I could see the light of the truck hundreds of feet away far down below. I noticed now there was a green laser pointer. I was very fast in completely turning off my lights I knew that we had visitors and the lights were coming from Nelson. I am sure it was the locals trying to scare us off and I understand they probably thought we were vandals or trying to cause problems. However the work we do actually brings tourism and business to El Dorado however I was not going to take any chances.

I flew off the mountain Karrie pulled out onto the road and I told her keep going until I tell you to stop. I don't think she realized how far I made it down the road lol. But anyhow she seen my lights way up on the mountain and it took me seconds to get off of it. I was leaping rock to rock running down this steep mountain in the pitch black. I timed it perfectly running to the truck I jumped in and just as I got in the lights were shining all over the truck. The green laser light went right between us and out the windshield onto the road. I told Karrie to step on it as a precaution she gunned it and we got the hell out of there as a safety measure.

As much as id like to say it is locals who were doing it  you never know so we try to avoid confrontation completely if possible. At first the way the lights were following the truck and the green laser light was hitting us it reminded me of something you see out of a movie where your abducted by aliens lol.

I never seen a great laser light before is all and whoever was shining it didn't have good precision or rather a very steady hand. Karrie and I got out of there very fast. She told me that one minute she seen me at the top of the mountain and the next I was getting in the truck. I timed everything perfect so I am glad that Karrie stayed back we work pretty good together.

When I arrived home I had to play the Easter Bunny here it was 4am and I am stuffing chocolate bunnies in baskets. I was not even sure how I would pull of Easter between cooking dinner....the lord Rick egg hunt....and everything else but I did it minus the rabbit ears this year lol.

In conclusion to my report I do believe that we experienced some ghost activity I wouldn't say the area was completely serene. There were a few things perhaps that happened that were out of the ordinary. I sure would love to visit the Techatticup and Savage mine before I leave Vegas although some of the less known mines appear to have more activity.

Its fairly feasible to say ill be returning again here for our last debut perhaps near my birthday or something. We had allot of fun. Karrie is starting to tally the investigations with us.....and we can now review some of our photos and evps from this trip.

It is always good to see Deb I think I met most of her family by now I usually just stop in to see her. I hope your leg gets better and I hope you get better to Boot. I know what its like to be laid up and wanting to just get out of the house to hike around. I hadn't gone up to ElDorado because of my vehicle situation and lack of investigators. But I love taking people up here to hike around lots of history, lots of ghost, and lots of beautiful scenic outdoors here.

I have also lots of catching up to do on our website. I am going to squeeze in one more trip to El Dorado this one will be a morning or day one. That will be one ill try to get a few others to go with us that way I can say my goodbyes to the area maybe do a picnic by the Colorado River just some ideas perhaps to get more people in our group involved.

Also once again Deb please thank those out by the fire who smoked me up especially your daughter I really value that with other people. I don't feel so alone when other toke to. Speaking of toking our meet up is in a week and I have a special guest attending it he is a marijuana advocate in Vegas trying to get it legalized and wants my help to considering I am running in 2012 for president or should I say trying to run.

The point is that I love my paranormal society in the fact that the faces we meet and come across are special. I met Deb through my site...then she introduced me to Boot...and it just goes to show you that its not all just about ghost its about also the wonderful people that you meet on your journeys.

Boot will come out some weekend soon have a picnic or something at the river....a few beers or something man. I consider those who live out there fairly lucky they get to live in part of all this history. There is just so much to the area to see I think my investigations will always be valued for many years of this region.
