This one is little more on the silly side...A local hike in Corona, Ca. A guy by the name of Joseph Beek built a place up here out in middle of nowhere in the 1930's. I went to visit the remains. For more on this one:

The cemetery. Today marks the anniversary of something in the video...I guess it is a nice coincidence I uploaded it today. Note that the mention of my relative near the beginning is an inside family joke from the last time I was there. I sent my relative on an errand around that grave that I got on video the last time. Nothing more than that. lol! The blogs for this one:

This is the mock-up connected with the planes they used in the movie. I was speaking "off the cuff" and really don't know if they will put it together again or what they intend to do with it.
The reason I made note of the Oct. 1st date is they had just gotten it back from being on location for the movie at that time.
I was going to upload what I had from Oct. 1st, but other than the beginning picture I just went with what I took this morning at Planes of Fame in Chino, CA.

Out in the middle of nowhere in the Aurora, Nevada cemetery, I revisited my favorite gravesite, and probably one of the oldest inscriptions in the Eastern Sierra. I give you a lot of different looks at the actual tombstone/marker for the gravesite. The GoPro video was from 2023, and the still pictures are from my visit in 2020.

The following books contain most of the information about Carder:
1)McGrath, Roger D. Gunfighters Highwaymen & Vigilantes: Violence on the Frontier. University of California Press, 1984.

McGrath's book is the classic for all the "wild west" information regarding Aurora and Bodie ghost towns. There is a page or two about Carder.
2)Silver Sue. Mineral County Nevada. Museum Ass. of Mineral County, 2011.
Amazon link: https://tinyurl.com/wzjknjwa
In the chapter about Aurora there is a short biography about Carder. It mentions his days in Western and Eastern Sierra.
3)Silver Sue. Aurora Nevada's Silent City on the Hill: An Historical Perspective. S. Silver 2011.

This is the location of one of the scenes they used at Iverson Ranch. While maybe not the most scenic, you can see traces of what was once here. I did an old blog on this one some months back:
