As most of you know around every Easter I strap on the Rabbit ears I know people find that pretty funny and its even funnier when everyone checks out these places wearing them too lol. We try to keep things festive and creative for our younger views. But we also want to keep things fun for everyone here that does not mean we do not take our research seriously. We earn every location we visit and we spend allot of time invested into what we do which more then often produces good results. Their is so many elements to what we do here at PGS working with nature, preservation, history, paranormal investigating, offroading, explorating, hiking etc etc but the rewards always in the end outweigh the risk factor.  

For me Austin Nevada was a dream come true you have to understand this was a three year trip planned in the making. Austin sits in the middle of the state of Nevada so there is nothing out here stores, restaurants, gas stations and even civilization is very minimal because your surrounded by vast desert expanses all the way to various mountain ranges. We would be heading to Landers County which for those outdoor enthusiast have more maintained dirt roads then just about anywhere in the Silver State so wherever you go your going to run into some adventure.
 
What not only made this trip very enticing was not just the fact it was Easter weekend but the fact that when I was arriving into town was also the night of the shortest blood moon of the century. This type of eclipse is not rare but what made it rare is the fact that it would only last as a full blood moon for a few minutes so I sort of had to time my trip perfectly if I was going to catch a glimpse of it.
 
Last year I was up in Virginia City for Easter so their was a parade everyone was wearing top hats, long dresses and attire of the 1800's. I remember I was with Sue who came out to visit us and see what the wild west was about. That was a great time I drank brews, bought my sheriffs, star and had a nice meal. So I was excited to experience Austin you cannot just journey into the west you have to live it!
 
This time though things would be different I had two days to complete our projects actually less then that. I also had a two bedroom hotel room for my family which they quoted me at a really inexpensive price in Austin. So with that in mind I was pretty excited that after a hard days of exploration I would have a place I could bunk up at or even bring some microwave food. This trip had to be done timely and I had allot of place to pack in and a jeep full of gear.
 
Our trip would be very extensive as some of you are aware when we go on these expeditions they can be nonstop for two or three days straight. So their is not much time to rest especially when you explore Austin Nevada, Austin Cemeteries, Clifton, Hess Ranch, Toiyabe Mountain Range, Groves Station & Lake, Kingston Nevada, Kingston Cemetery Big Smokey Valley, Toquima Mountains, Toquima Cave, Monitor Valley and Spencer Hot Springs.

 The reason I list these locations is so that our viewers understand how intense and how far I would go to create epic journeys of our own that we can share with the public. The only downside to this expedition is we ran into some very high winds which made this trip a little more difficult even for producing films.  Besides the fact that my camera was on its last leg so when you view our media if its not as sharp as usual it is because my camera was at its servicing limit and I simply did not have enough time to send it in for calibration. No less I did the best with what I had and took on an adventure that was larger then life!
 
I left at 1 or 2 am in the morning as the moon was bright as ever and the eclipse was close to transpiring. I was excited to drive through Nevada on the loneliest highway in America under a blood moon. Who would not be everyone loves to pack up their family, gear and just go off see the sites. Believe me when I say this I drove over 500 miles on this trip half of it on back country roads high up in the mountains as we took on this ghost town bonanza including even a creepy mine.
 
I spent a few years to wait to see one of the greatest ghost towns in the Nevadan west the blood moon over my jeep and the freedom of the dark road less taken. At night as I drove all I could see are the Silhouettes of mountains as if they were blending into one another. Everyone else was dozing off however I had an eclipse to catch so time was of the essence although before I took off for Route 50 I did get some awesome coffee what else do I have besides a cigar into the night.
 
When I begin to ride down highway 50 where we left from the skies were clear at the eclipses highlight there was allot of cloud cover. When I arrived in Austin it was cold all the little houses and historic sites were lit as it still was dark outside. I had gotten out at the eclipses peak only to stand on the highway with my tripod and realize that no stars or even our moon was visible. I was a bit frustrated to say the least because I wanted a good moon shot to put on the website once we get Austin transloaded to PGS as you can understand.

 

Austin Nevada
 
Believe it or not Austin sits at a reasonably decent elevation and everywhere you look your surrounded by wilderness. One wrong move out here and its all over as each mountain range surrounding it contains woods followed by vast deserts.
 
Before you get into town at night is a nice spot you can park along Highway 50 and take photos or glance at Stokes tower up on the mountain. Its lit up at night so that the tower itself or as some call it a castle is glowing as if it were made of gold its pretty cool. I still checked for the eclipse could not see anything under the cloud cover the moon was blurry behind the clouds and so I had no choice but to head for higher ground.
 
At night when you head into town the churches, old International hotel, courthouse and a few other smaller older homes are little up. Its a very quaint little town although its been reduced to a few hundred residents as opposed to thousands in its hey day.
 
At night there is a creepy or eerie feeling downtown maybe because its so desolate or maybe its because almost everyone one of the structures within the town have haunted history. I did allot of research about strange tales surrounding Austin I mean death did occur whether it was local justice, shootouts or even wax yielding men who tried to chop the locals up to even murderers. So at the time the laws were upheld by the people here and not allot has changed really.
 
If you were to compare this town to others think of Virginia City accept that this town is a little more confined or smaller within this canyon up in the Toiyabe Range. Therefore the town kind of serves as a gateway for people who like to offroad, hike, explore ancient sites or go ghost towning. Once you leaving the pavement here the true adventure begins and there is no way to see everything out here as this frontier is hundreds if not thousands of square miles in the Great Basin.
 
Everyone was asleep so what I did is took some pictures just before the sun came up of Austin at night then some at dawn. The town is tiered with downtown being its lowest point while roads run parallel and perpendicular on both sides of main street a few hundred feet above downtown. The adobe homes, old wood cabins, dark church and old historic sites gave me a little bit of a foreboding site.
 
But all I did was walk around at dusk grabbing my cam starting filming what was left of the blood moon which was virtually halfway through its cycle and took some photos of the full moon partially red above Austin. I may have not seen the full eclipse but to see the moon full above the town as I sat above it was more then I could ever ask for!
 
I went back downtown to wait for the skies to lighten on up so I took some pictures since during the day allot of tourism goes on you really do not want to take them of vehicles. I was trying to think of a good area to put the cam on a tripod and get a money shot of the eclipse and I did it. I went to the very top of Austin which overlooks a ridge that extends off the Toiyabe Mountains and looks out over the desert. I captured the full moon partially eclipsed as it just was dipping behind some mountains a totally beautiful shot. I was really the only one to witness the moon everyone else was to tired to care and me I was pumped with caffeine through my veins ready to hike, climb, dive, run or chase some spooks lol.
 
Downtown they have a building which was turned into a visitors center which has all sorts of plaques that commemorate some of the towns history in the region. They have restrooms here also just so others know and its a good place to start. Nearby is also the old Gridley Store which has a truly fascinating story which will talk about more in depth when I do my historical thesis about the town on our website.
 
The town is fairly preserved its almost like stepping through time you have your saloons, restaurants, businesses downtown while beyond that some places have been turned into homes through renovations. Can you imagine what it would be like to live in the old Wells Fargo Bank or upstairs from one of the saloons that dated back to the 1800's? If the walls could only talk I bet they would say such locations are haunted right?
 
I drove back up to some old homestead throughout the town some of them are abandoned although boarded some of them are original to their very own time period. I seen some old vehicles parked near one of the homes then spotted two deer who joined a few more then they went off up into the mountain range disappearing in the woods. That is right folks deer just walk through the center of town its pretty cool and their are other animals such as Black Bear and even Antelope.
 
My goal was to walk around the old school house now it does not date back to the original time but lets just say its vintage and on the side wall is a massive colored mural of Nevada. It had all the counties within the state painting. Their was also two buildings connected by a corridor in the middle or hall so I could not cut between the buildings only go around. One of the buildings said it was the elementary school but the other large one could or may have been the highschool I really do not know. I did look inside seen a flag and some furniture with it being for sale this might be a good buy!!! The view from the school of the woodsy ridge and vast desert beyond that is worth a million dollars friends.
 
After the school I just started driving in the residential area to take photos of old shanties, shacks, cabins, historical homes, out houses, towers and even an old steam boiler probably used in some mining operation.  I seen this big adobe house in some wiring some chickens and a rooster were running around. Some people have horses also in corrals which I can understand their are some great equestrian trails here.
 
There is a little city park it has an outhouse, face on the tree, swing and its a bit over grown. Its a creepy little place but it is the west so your going to see relics scattered all over the town from its past including things like gold pans nailed to the side of some wooden cabin or hub caps hanging off a wooden garage. Not to far away is a tree house. The flowers blooming in Austin and the variety of bird life including this red headed and blue bird really shows you that life does thrive even if it is in the middle of no mans land.
 
When you stand above the town you can really get an idea of what the entire town looks like in a matter of a single glance. There was a few massive stone walls that were crumbling that once probably were businesses or even saloons. Allot of the structures were built on top of huge stone walls with wood serving as a second maybe a third story. There was also this massive smoke rusty iron smoke above downtown
 
On the hillsides are three churches there is a plaque in town which talks about the brief history of them. Just so everyone knows these are some of the oldest and finest churches in the wild west well at least in the state of Nevada. I did photograph all of them and each one I gave a proper respectful visit to but all of them were locked up some of them even looked empty in the windows. Those churches was St. Augustine's, St. Georges Episcopal and Methodist Church/Town Hall.
 
I found a few foundations above the town some were made of brick not sure if they were homes, businesses or part of some mining operation. The town is very unique because many buildings are scattered composed of different materials some sheet metal, wood, stone and brick. It just depends on when the structures were built and some came later in the towns hey day.
 
There is also an old hospital but today its a house and has been completely modernized but I bet if the walls could talk you would hear some ghost stories. The problem is with Austin is its full of electrical lines all strung throughout the town that means no EMF readings can be considered valid as the electricity flowing through them could have been causing interference. So what I did is blast Austin with photos hoping to capture a ghost on camera and I took allot of audio recordings which will be used as evidence to prove that the town itself may have some haunts throughout the town.
.
The old bank today is now the library in town and well there was this one old brick home I visited that had a rusty iron bed post just laying out in the high grass. Not to far from the LDS church there is also this old wood fence not built with post but just old branches impaled into the ground not to far from the community part. The community park was having an Easter Egg hunt on Sunday I wanted to go with my rabbit ears but unfortunately my work already sealed my fate and this was the only the start to my adventures.
 
I would climb up to the top of the town or south of it up these very steep dirt roads to the top of the mountains that overlooks the town. Wow what a view the Toiyabe Range from above is absolutely gorgeous with snowcapped peaks, cliffs and almost for a 100 miles you can see nothing but Nevadan green forest.
 
Just on the other side of the hills is the Manhattan Mill and Mine site.  I did not drive up to the mine dump pile the road was nearly out and it would have really cut a portion of my days plans out of the picture. But I did find the original mill site and for those that want to know what this place is well lets put it this way! The mine and mill were the cream of the crop that processed silver for many years. Allot of the miners in Austin could take the old mining road above the town and over the hills to work the mines back here.
 
As a matter in fact there was quite a few dump piles but based on my zoom I did not see an entrance into any of those mines so they probably were sealed off. What I did find though is a couple old bottles and even a really awesome rock. I like to collect rocks and find old bottles time to time its very rare that this ever happens. From what I seen at the mill site it appeared to have been heavily in ruins as glass was broken everywhere. About 20' away we found a beam that was massive made out of wood that was a couple feet across and burnt. Its possible that the mill burned many years ago leaving very little behind but besides a few scattered remnants the dump pile behind the mill where the main mine tells a story about a very wealthy boom town during its hey day.
 
If I remember correctly the mill site also had a bunch of rusty metal cans, piles of wood, some sheet metal and a few post. Their was also some wood beams and some rusty can on a post. You could tell people come out here to shoot at the site unfortunately this is all that is left of the mill including a wall. So it is what it is. Just above the mill site we also found the foundation made out of stone of a miners cabin. Then again if you walk around Austin there are massive stone walls everywhere which the Masons within the town built. Some of the walls stand as if they were built yesterday yet date back to 150 years ago! The real key is the pivotal role the Masons played here it is just a stone cold fact they built this town with their very hands that is respect!
 
When I drove to the top of the mountains above Austin I could see a vast desert expanse little did I know that this massive valley or open desert I would be offroading through the next day. Even from afar you could see over a half of dozen dust devils massive not ass massive as the three mile high ones on Mars but still if you can see them 30 to 50 miles away that has to say something. This would be only the beginning as the next day my goal would be to head south along the range and eventually go up into and over it which is a daunting task no matter how you look at it.
 
Eventually I went back into down town the museum was closed that was a bummer but across the street they have sort of an outdoor museum where you can walk the grounds check out some relics of the past. I would find a couple ore carts, wagon wheels, old Landers county search and rescue truck, steam boiler and some other piece of machinery sitting under a metal car port. Its very easy to miss because it sits up near this old garage on a steep hill but the machinery is what caught my eye.
 
I did park downtown again wanted to buy my son a snack one of the gas stations shelves were clear honestly that was a bit scary. How do people eat or even survive here with the lack of supplies?  Downtown is quaint there was an old barber shop, brick Masonic Hall, old hardware store and even an old Coca Cola sign etc etc. We did stop again at the court house and behind it is some amazing walls probably built so that it prevented mudslides. The Masonic work done throughout the town is flawless then again it had to be done the town was always flood and a cesspool of mud.
 
I also walked over to the International I should have gotten a brew but the kids were with me. But nearby the old hotel and saloon is an empty lot full of historic relics. You will see old ranching machinery, massive wagon wheels, mining equipment, ore cart, wagon, tools and other rusty old stuff. I even found an old saw cutter and this massive foundation nearby made out of stone.
 
After we made our rounds all over downtown Austin I decided to take a trip out to a place called Stokes Castle. There is a few different roads that lead up to it in the forested area of the Toiyabe Range just above the town. My son and I we passed quite a few people just walking there dogs or in a group hiking down from the location.
 
When I arrived at Stokes Castle there was a man there who had a key as they keep it locked up and he did let us in. Not sure if that was sheer luck but it sure was nice to be able to have access inside the tower. I took Jarrod with me he seemed to be as fascinated as I was. Behind the tower is an ore chute and some tailings of some kind. It was apparent that the brothers who resided in the tower also were able to watch the mines below.
 
The view from the tower with a vast desertscape and many mountains including great views of the entire range. The inside of the castle was gutted the second, third and fourth floors are all gone. However the first three rooms still had there fireplaces while the fourth was an observation deck for the brothers. I almost stepped on a nail so I can understand why its kept fenced off also to help preserve what is left of this amazing place. I think alone Jarrod was amazed with the fact that we were able to physically stand inside the tower it was a real treat. But today its just a mere shell of its former glory with rotting and split wood caused by the elements, crumbling rock and a dirt 1st floor filled with debris. Outside of the tower is a picnic bench and ill tell you what if you want to have one this is the place to do it.
 
After my adventure at the castle it was time to check into our hotel room. I stayed at the Cozy Blue Mountain Hotel and honestly in my opinion its one of the better places. The prices are reasonable, across from the International which was the first commercial business in Austin, rooms are clean and the people are friendly. Granted their was a spider on the ceiling here everything worked fine we had direct TV, heating and cooling in both rooms, fridge and a microwave. The lady at the front desk gave us a map of all the major sites to see around Austin which by that time I nearly hit everything because all of you know how I am and that is thorough in my work!
 
We would unload our things such as the cooler, dinner, suitcases etc then decided it was time to head out to Clifton which is just a couple miles over the hill. Nearby is also the Austin Cemeteries which includes the I.O.O.F., Masonic, Mount Calvary Catholic, Citizens and Native American Burial Grounds is what they consist of. I will do a separate report for the cemeteries since they are outside of town and one could spend hours doing research in them so they all are rather extensive in size.
 
When I finished investigating the cemeteries I drove down to a place called Clifton. You have to understand that the ghost town of Clifton is now part of Austin. But at the time both sister towns were in competition to get a county seat and when one lost it the other one went bust.
 
To get down to Clifton you have to take a series of roads which go up and around the Austin Cemeteries in a place called Pony Canyon. There are allot of dirt roads here but the one thing you cannot miss is the massive wood mill built into a hillside. Also back here is the old Austin Rodeo, ranches and some corrals with horses in them. But at one time this little area had stores,shops and a more complex residential neighborhood much like Austin during its hey day.
 
I consider Clifton to be a part of Austin so therefore I am including it all together afterall one may not have existed without the other its hard to tell. There is allot of things back here that are noticeable such as rusty water tanks, old rusted car, mill and a series of stone ruins. I also found an abandoned old house but its so overgrown all the way around it and you cannot see it till your physically above Clifton and just happen to look down into the woods.
 
I did walk around old Clifton went inside the mill which was completely gutted inside. There was birds up on the rafters, nails everywhere, stone walls towards the back which was laid out against the hillside and through the wood slats I could see my jeep. There was also a collapsed stairwell and a couple rooms. There was also a few foundations within the mill which probably held up mixers or other equipment. The roof had aluminum on it and many of the beams holding this place up were not very strong. So anotherwards its dangerous do not go in it lots of nails and other hazards inside.
 
Next to the mill are a few very massive stone walls one of stones fit together with mortar the other a brick wall. I have no idea if these were part of the mill or they served some other use. Just above the hill I found an old black powder keg room where they probably stored the explosives used in some of the mines.
 
Clifton was not that extensive but it played a huge part in Austin's history since most of its residents flocked over to there. It also appears to me they are getting ready to demolish the mill so I may have gotten lucky or to see it in time. I seen some construction equipment around why its near the mill makes me curious if they are getting ready to just remove it. I am sure kids go here to party and others have gotten hurt. But it would be ashamed to see the history lost since this is all that remains of the original town site. It was a big town so all the little ranches at one time were homesteads and downtown.
 
The only thing I regret about Clifton is that their was a turntable from the railroad that I just could not find. Its listed on my map as a historic site and the lady at the hotel gave me a chart that had it listed. But when I went to where it should be I never found it keep in mind that Clifton did have a train depot which is gone so the turntable would have been great to see and sometimes its easy to miss things in such a vast place.

 
After the cemeteries and Clifton head on back to the hotel as Tammy and I wanted to check out some of the shops in downtown Austin. They have allot of shops that sell all sorts of gemstones, minerals, glass bottles, historical remnants from the town and native American crafts which includes arrowheads and dream catchers. I would have bought something but here is the thing.... you can get most of this stuff for less then half of what its worth up in Virginia City. However allot of Turquoise sold in Austin is native to the area. Actual this region is one of the biggest Turquoise Mecca's in America and there are a variety of types but it does not come cheap. One of the customers browsing the shop told me to open a box to see a pretty gem a big ass fake spider jumped out of it at me and everybody was laughing at ME at the shop ME lol!
 
They also sell I survived Hwy. 50 the Loneliest Road in America T-shirts personally my videos and pictures so I made it lol. You have to understand only four towns are found along this highway Austin being one of them. There is a sign downtown that I had my photo taken with because personally I never been this deep into Nevada or almost driven all of Hwy. 50 till I decided it was time we brought our viewers Austin with our own little spin to it.
 
Back at the hotel Tammy wanted to take a nap she really missed most of the trip except for shopping and the cemeteries our first day. When I had gotten back at the hotel I wanted to go for another walk downtown take some more video, photos and EVP's. My work never ends there is no such thing as relaxation when it comes to the paranormal.
 
I did walk up to St. George's Church, Courthouse and behind this hotel I found a series of massive stone walls and foundations. There was also the owl club and some other saloon that was closed. The sun was going down some clouds were coming on in and it was starting to get a little chilly out. Amazingly when 6pm rolls around Austin dies completely. I did not see a single person out except a few locals driving past me who waved as I took a break at the firehouse to relax. The old firehouse was across the street but it was renovated but no less the old fire bell could be seen in the wooden tower across from it which probably rang out when fires occurred in the 1800's.
 
I did eventually get back to my room Austin was truly done up PGS style I had brought a cooler so we had plenty of meals, food, drinks and snacks. I was just happy to sit back kick my feet up and relax it had been a long day. At night there was a couple chairs outside our room with glowing lanterns. I sat outside burned one and just relaxed. I was going to go to the International and found out that on Easter Eve they were closing on up so I never really had gotten my beer.  I was a bit bummed the wind storm was so high that it made it hard for me to film decent videos or record more EVP's because all you can hear is the wind whipping in the background. But one can see that Austin was a very harsh remote place if the lawless west did not get you the elements would!
 
The next day I woke up at sunup we had a long itinerary ahead of us for Easter Sunday. When the boys woke up I gave them cards with a bunch of treats. Of course my youngest by the time we had packed up the jeep and started riding on off into the Toiyaybe Mountains ate everything chocolate bunny and all lol. I was still wearing my ears then again I wore them for almost every single location I went to except Kingston because it was to windy at that location. As a matter in fact our time spent in Austin was very windy the entire time and with the electrical lines I really could not do the ghosthunt I wanted to do but you never know.
 
That morning in Austin I fueled up and had gotten some coffee let me just say the one thing I do not like about Austin is the coffee taste a bit odd.  I really wanted some good coffee and just could not find it here. I heard the International has great pizza and beer I never did get to find out. I was just to much on the go investigating and exploring the entire time.
 
There is on the East side of town high up in the mountains an awesome area you can park and see the entire town below. But its on a curvy road so its very dangerous but if you can manage it its worth the photo op. I would head on off as the sun rose behind the mountains into the Toiyabe Range where our adventures would take us to the Hess Ranch, Kingston, Toquima Cave and Spencer's Hot Springs.
Namaste,
Lord Rick

This anomaly was captured over Stokes Castle as I was taking a selfie of my son and I after we had finished up investigating the tower. I am not sure what the anomaly is could be a UFO  or it might be a bird. However strangely the top of the anomaly appears to have a hub of some kind and the object appears to be shiny metallic in color. Tammy told me it could be a bird but other variables point the image in an entirely different direction. Jarrod and I have gotten multiple selfies in the past few years with strange objects hovering behind us. We are not sure why this happens or the reasoning behind it however when it does occur I dually note it every time. You have to admit the shape of the anomaly is odd but you can also tell its distorted which means that its moving extremely fast.

This creepy park boast a couple trees with faces on them although its not paranormal it is certainly an oddity to come across on my journeys. The park is very overgrown with a wall and some odd entrance leading inside of it. Its not an exactly ideal place to let your kids play but if this face was real what stories would it have to tell us?

This was taken from Austin at one of the high points in town it is of a massive dust devil forming. When I seen this massive sand storm it was twirling and spinning at times looking as if a massive tornado was churning. Due to the massive high windows across the expanses which surround Austin it made it difficult to film and dust had gotten onto or into everything including camera equipment. We were not able to even do many EVP sessions because the winds were whipping and not just at us but the desert floors in the valleys below causing plumes of sand such as the one you see in the photo above.

This is one of the last historic Greek revival court houses in the nation left standing or at least restored to its original condition. Little did I know this but the locals had lynched a man from the court houses balcony above me. Although you had a deputy and a sheriff most of the time frontier justice was swift often handed down by the locals who seen it fit to take justice upon themselves. I cant say that the front steps or balcony area is haunted but I did capture at least one EVP under it. You can read more about the lynching that took place on our main page if you want to learn more in depth details. I am sure that more then one lynching took place within the property of this courthouse which could lead to the grounds possibly being haunted by those who reached a traumatic end.

Our room at the Cozy Blue Mountain Hotel we want to thank them staff was friendly, room was clean and they gave us one hell of a deal on there only sweet Easter weekend!
