Vallecito Quarry

I was trying to get into the old cement plant but found out later its currently in use. However just outside of it lays an old quarry that overlooks the Stanislaus River. Its in the lower sierras on the California side an area that has many historic sites such as cemeteries, caverns and buildings dating back to the days of the gold rush.

I would give Tammy's dad a taste of the sierras as we took this dirt road for many miles along sheer cliffs. The foothills are extremely overgrown nearly impossible to see in the woods all you can see his mountains covered in green trees. I remember my days years ago traversing back in this region boy those were good times and here I am bringing it to our viewers again only this time much more in depth.

Out here the cattle roam free believe me I know Tammy left me at the quarry and had a bull chasing our truck while I was out hiking around.  It was kind of creepy driving past cattle in the mountains as they cross the road or were within reaching distance.

Their were some great views of the river below the canyons that the river flows through is deep one wrong fall or driving off the road could spell disaster. To get to the quarry it would be a decent hike in the roads were all blocked with giant boulders.

Their was a drug deal going down in front of the quarry entrance it was obvious the guy was waiting for someone else to show on up and didn't like the idea we were hanging around. That is the one thing I frown upon in towns like Jackson's and along the foothills on the California side is they have allot of problems with drugs in that region. It was only about twenty miles from here where last year someone robbed all my paranormal gear and supplies so yeah!

I tested the guy to see if he knew the area asked him if he knew where the old cement quarry was he said no. But yet he was dealing or waiting for someone at the service road to it. You could see the quarry right from the parking area so it was obvious he didn't want me around. Not sure why people have to taint places like these if people want to deal drugs deal them somewhere private not out in gods country where I am taking photos. I bet if I left my truck parked their the dude probably would have broke in so I had to change up my plans real quick when I arrived here.

This time around I pulled out my shot gun was not taking any chances then I sent Tammy off on her merry way. I had radios on me and was able to communicate using radio waves while I conducted my exploration. There was a road that led to this giant open pit which was three tiers deep. Then behind it on a ridge was a cliff that overlooked the river below.

It was not hard to tell that the locals used the quarry as a shooting range although we found electric boxes, rebar, metal, wood, pipes protruding from the ground etc there was not much left. I seen some manmade targets at the bottom of the quarry and thousands of bullet shells.

My son and I took this wooded road up to the top where they had some overlooks we had to stay back as they were broke. One wrong fall from me and id be going over a cliff. The view was nice but the quarry lacked excitement their were a few foundations but in the woodsy part people were using that to dump their appliances. We heard a series of gun shots close by it was obvious the locals wanted me out of the area but it did not deter me from finishing what I had to do here.

The last part of our exploration we had to carefully work our way down to the bottom of the quarry which is this massive pit over a 100' down. It was hard because we had to climb some pretty steep rock inclines down to the next level.

The final climb down was the worst as I was walking along the edge and entire side wall gave out under my feet. I fell nearly 8' till my right foot caught a rock embedded in soil. If I didn't catch that id fell allot further down so I got pretty lucky. The quarry is crumbling it was pretty obvious all the walls were so it isn't safe to get near the edge of anything here especially with some of the cliffs dropping off for 50' at least.

Its an old quarry you can see areas they drilled into the rock I believe allot of the rock was used to make concrete to build the local towns in the area such as Jamestown, Arnold, Murphy's, Sonora and Angels Camp. Its a fairly big quarry so an entire hillside or rather mountain has just been erased here. I also spent time studying an odd circle I found in a meadow where grass wouldnt grow around this rim and inside the circle it was somewhat not growing well either....UFO? Foot traffic? Photo and video are below!

It would began to get dark out so we would eventually head on off their was a steep road we would have to climb up. I tried so hard on my bad knee to climb this thing end up falling straight on my chest and sliding 20' down and ouch did it hurt as the gravel scraped up my legs. I believe I was holding the video camera at the time when this happened.

I learned that quarries are strange places but they are also not very safe I hurt myself here three times on the hike and thought wow I didn't even get hurt at Big Trees when something was hurling rocks at us lol.

It was all good fun though something about a creepy quarry in desolation surrounded by mountains and woods really gets the blood pumping. I cant say I caught or recorded anything strange but it will be a nice exploration that will be able to share on our site as I did a ton of filming and photography out here.

After our journey we ended up having McDonalds in Angels Camp and why? Because nothing else stays open lol. I had originally made plans to go see the Death Valley Geyser found out that the area was purchased and no longer public so going out to Big Trees and Vallecito was just as nice.

It is truly amazing over the past few years how much our group has witnessed and how many places we have gotten to see. I would have never thought in a million years that we would be exploring places such as these and here we are today climbing into quarries and crawling through massive tree trunks.

I again apologize for the late report I have others I will be writing up in the next few days as updates progress on our site. I have allot of work to catch up on but it should move nice and smooth as we bring you guys our past months of amazing paranormal adventures.

Behind the quarry is a wooded area which today is being used as a dumping ground. It also appears its being used by campers and as some sort of hang out location perhaps for locals who wish to target practice in the quarry. Strangely we found this circular patch where no grass grows around the rim. Now its possible at one time something may have been laying here where their is no grass growing. Its also possible that in a way this might be a crop circle of sorts where something UFO like could have touched down. I have seen in the woods and meadows circles like this where the grass will not grow as if something had touched down. I cannot say for sure however all our finds we come across must be documented through our site regardless in case anybody witnesses something strange in the region.

Video footage of the circle didnt think much of at this time as I was looking around at other odd things in the woods here. But realized more so after looking at the photo and video that this circle does possess some oddness.  This is video footage of the area we found it at!
