Subject: Our Expedition Of Smith & Mason Valley Nevada On 1/29/15.....
Date: 2/11/2015 1:53:04 P.M. Pacific Daylight Time

I actually could not wait to return here back in 2014 we only touched base with a couple of the locations due to it getting dark or not being able to find anything. Sometimes when we investigate certain locations it might take a couple times to see and venture through it all. Returning here really topped off the month of January because I was able to get here in the morning instead of when the sun went down and we just simply ran out of time to find what we needed too.  

This would be a trying expedition as the evening before I had a knee procedure. So I had no idea what it was going to feel like driving a couple hundred miles, hiking, climbing etc. I know that when we made it to Ludwig I was jumping off walls so it had to help but not without a price.
 
We would take on Hudson a second expedition into Ludwig then finish off the evening over at Valley Grove and HIllcrest Cemetery both which are connected. I love coming out this way Smith and Mason Valley are quite green especially in the Spring. Besides the Pine Nut mountain range and its biggest peak named Mt. Siegel are just amazing in itself. That includes traversing on foot the Singatse mountain range really have some special gems if your willing to seek them out.
 
This is really an area I have not worked with much but its an important region the ghost towns here were very large and they supplied allot of the countries copper. Not to say there were not other things mined here but the Copper was one of the largest strikes in the area therefore many mills, mines and even the Copper Belt Railroad came to be.
 
We would head on off first thing in the morning these trips that we take require us to leave before sun up that is if we wish to gain any ground. When your dealing with miles off traveling to get here then you have over 50 miles of dirt roads you really cannot waste time diddling around.
 
I never really explored the Pine Nut mountain range so to be on the backside of it was really awesome. We get a ton of UFO reports about strange lights surrounding this range. Hiking on the western side of them is a world in itself especially when you see peaks like Galena and Mount Siegel it truly is vast and you can grow to understand what it is the Washoe seen for thousands of years centralizing the tribe around this range.
 
Our day we would be filled with adventures up in Hudson, Ludwig, Valley Grove and Hillcrest Cemetery all within Smith and Mason Valley's which offer great views and allot of back country which is often forgotten only for the wilderness to reclaim itself.
 
The one place that I really was looking for was the Witches Circle which is a bunch of hieroglyphics and Egyptian artwork which is found at the Ludwig Mill. That really was the meat of the investigating or the highlight of it so as long as I found that the rest was all gravy.
 
There is a sense of excitement packing the jeep full of gear, supplies and food to make the journey to the land less traveled. Maybe not for everyone but being a history buff, paranormal investigator and explorer the thought of taking whatever road into the wilderness I wanted drew in some personal excitement for me and so our journey begins now.
 
Hudson Nevada
 
Finding this place is a little difficult the road through Wilson Canyon to get here is blocked therefore you can only hit the ghost town one way and even that is easy to miss with the dozens of dirt roads which seem to just go completely around this place.
 
Near by is the resort which boast Springs but there is also a shooting range where today the ghost town or downtown resides on. So to some degree yes you would have to be careful but with one blink its easy to miss the town because it sits back behind fencing out in the desert.
 
Tammy and I passed this cattle farm I am not sure I seen so many cows in my life. There had to be a thousands of them neck to neck fenced in various areas. I figured it was either a slaughter house or just a very active dairy farm no less does it tell a story about how fruitful the land is in this valley enough to sustain cattle grazing.
 
The town site is near the Walker River Resort but a bit behind it all however the resort itself does feature some old wild western artifacts of old Hudson on the property if you wish to see old town you really have to get out and study the plots where it once existed. Its actually hard to believe that the town stayed alive all up into the 1970's before it became a ghosts of its past.
 
I parked up at the shooting range yes part of the town site is on a target practice range. The range appears to be closed but if you wander it your going to see allot of broken glass, wood beams, rusty remnants of the past and allot of broken concrete. It appears that the shooters of the range may have been targeting any remands left behind of Hudson which in opinion was a bit sickening to see but that is just me I hate seeing anything from our past left to be targeted at.
 
I had to climb two sets of barbed wire I have no issue saying that sometimes to get into mines or ghost towns you have to cross that line. If you do not then you will be one of the people who takes photos from the road and we just cant do that. We have to be able to show our viewers these locations so they can see what is left and why it is a ghost town if that makes sense.
 
When I arrived at the main town site there was allot of debris such as broken wood boards, bean bans, pipes, rusty buckets, nails, pieces of mangled metal, broken glass shards and alas two wooden old structure which were collapsing.
 
The wooden cabins were falling apart but no less I did get some mild EMF Gauss readings near them which shows me some energy may still be present here not once but on two occasions including a very high spike. When I stood in the town I looked off for nearly 15 miles and could see Singatse Peak far off in the distance where the monolithic ghost town of Ludwig is located. We had a long ways to reach from one ghost town to the next.
 
The town of Hudson was scattered picture 20 acres of just scattered debris nothing was left unless you count the new sub division nearby which is considered today New Hudson. But any signs of the old Hudson are merely just gone. Its a bit of a grim scene simply because you would think more would be remaining. Its a bit odd to visit a ghost town knowing it was so large even had a post office yet today nothing really remains.
 
I did not spend allot of time in Hudson really Ludwig is where its at but I did spend sometime photographing the last remnants of town as someday they may not be here. Over the years new mining claims, terrible weather and even vandals have just about caused the disappearance of quite a few ghost towns in Nevada.
 
The one thing that stood out here is that there were allot of Eagles and Hawks just scouring the desert floor for its next meal. It was early morning so its expected to see all sorts of birds out feeding. I really enjoyed the scenery and the giant birds diving to the desert floor swooping in for a meal that was pretty cool.
 
I was not happy with the condition of the town site its just been forgotten and half of it is on a shooting range which means anything standing is eventually going to become a victim of gun fire. Its a sad site because you can literally see with your eyes where the town once stood now all gone.
 
We would then head on off to Ludwig Tammy was a bit apprehensive to cross the shooting range but at that time of morning nobody was up here besides the fact that it looked as if it had not been used in years being it was all overgrown. I was just happy to find the original town site something I failed at my first expedition.
 
When you fail you just get up and try again that is one of the reasons I returned here is because the first time one of the roads was out. But this time around I pulled right up onto old Hudson therefore my trip was met with success. I just wish more remained of the town but I feel what I photographed and filmed was all that is left of this historic ghost town. Maybe twenty years ago times were different but the place today is picked clean and so I would move on to Ludwig Nevada.
Lord Rick

Hudson Nevada came to be in 1911 around the same time the Nevada Copper Railroad Company's tracks were laid that came through Wilson Canyon and eventually Hudson up to Ludwig, Mason, Wabuska, Yerington, Thompson Smelter and Nordyke. This town served as a freight and stage station in the heart of Smith Valley today known for its ranching specializing in the exportation of goods to other local mining towns such as Bodie and Ludwig. When the tracks were removed and the train was abandoned the town's growth ceased leaving behind what little remains of this booming town. Today all that remains is a couple structures, wagon, rusty remnants of the past and a few open plots of land where Hudson's residents once lived. With great views of the Singatse and Pine Nut Mountain this scenic ghost town is one of Nevada's hidden jewels forgotten by the elements of time we seek to uncover it. Today all the rusty relics of the pass, broken glass and piles of wood form a story of what once was. Included in this tour of Hudson is also EMF readings taken at the 5:01 & 11:12 timestamp's opening up the possibility that hidden energies lurk what once was!
