Violent History: Hanging Tree "The Castaic Range War 1890-1916"
When hiking near our home, I discovered the Hanging Tree and Ghost Rock used during the Castaic Range War 1890-1916. This was one of the largest range wars in American History and one of the bloodiest events in California, claiming lives of 21 to 40 people.
Watch the entire video to see how the war ended with help from President Teddy Roosevelt and U.S. Ranger Bob Clark.
Location of the Hanging Tree and Ghost Rock is not published on any map nor social media..

Overnight Adventure in a Rock Cathedral
Переглядів 9144 місяці тому
I looked for an overnight shelter while hiking towering rock formations in the Mojave Desert of Southern California, USA. These rocks echoed the grandeur of Gothic cathedrals, built in Europe between the 12th and 16th centuries. Just as those structures were designed as sanctuaries, where heaven met earth and humanity reached for the divine, so to these natural cathedrals hold a sense of sacred...
Rock Shelter Camping
Переглядів 2 тис.4 місяці тому
Rock Shelter Camping offers the serenity of nature up close and personal. It is a totally different experience than tent, hammock or car camping. Half the fun is searching for a Rock Shelter that: provides protection from bad weather, has a good view, offers a flat floor, preferably sandy, and finally has no hiding places for snakes, spiders or other biting vermin. The video is divided into the...

Water in the Creek: Wash Anxiety & Depression Away
Переглядів 1,4 тис.5 місяців тому
This video shows how hiking can wash away anxiety and depression. Many folks take an unstable path when hiking (and in life), attempting to keep their feet dry, climbing over wobbly objects. This is fast, but dangerous, especially in old age. It is better to slow down. Look where you are going, change your path as necessary, and enjoy the moment. If the terrain is slippery, use a support system...

never heard any of this before. nice content, well presented.
unfortunately, I forgot about seeing the elusive Superbloom this year, only just now remembering half way through our crispy August summer... sad I went looking for videos people may have shot. Your video was very immersive, exactly the type of video experience I was looking for. (not people walking through and talking about the blooms, but just... experiencing the beauty quietly.) Thank you.
I love history, and I live in Sylmar, Ca., near where this story takes place. Thank you, so much, I hope to see more of your historical content of L.A County.
Thanks for watching and commenting. Much appreciated. Yes, I am researching information for another historical video….
Thank you for bringing this (horrible) story back to life. Somebody effed up on the land rights resulting in so much loss of life and miserey.
You’re welcome. I’m researching information for another historical video. Stay tuned…
Not very aerodynamic but functional ...Great stuff !
Great vid Ken
I love traditional but jesus christ is that stuff heavy
Kenneth. I hope all is well. Looking forward to more of your videos. Not to be mean. However, something about your content and the way you convey your experiences is far superior to others. The thing I remember you said is get out of your comfort zone. You truly embrace nature.
Thank you. Stay tuned my friend….
Are there any books on this topic
A book is being written and will be published in a couple of years.
You have to sniff it through a straw
Down in the canyon East of Castaic Rock is what appears to be one or two marked out old grave sites. One larger than the other. Looks pre-Lake and Hughes Road. So would have been accessed by walking up from where the lake is now through where a built up part of Hughes Rd. now blocks that canyon's once access. Also once easily of access is a family graveyard just East of the dirt parking lot of Combat Paintball Park off Charlie Canyon Road. I think a chain link fence is set up to separate the parking access to it now a days. Thank you for the historic video.
Thanks for watching and commenting. I’ll check the sites you mentioned! Awesome stuff
God is Awesome!
Greetings from Ireland where it rains every other day. I envy your dry warm climate. .. Love the video
Thank you for watching and commenting. It means a lot to me.
Wow, the Wild West was anything but peaceful! 😩 May peace ✌🏽and love ❤️ also be with you Kenneth! Nice work you have done on this history‼️👍🏽
Thank you for watching and taking time to comment. You comments mean a lot to me
Thank you so much. @chrissain1 for the offer; I have tried, and I’m winning. I have 390,000 USD withdrawals from my investmentyoutube.com/@stocksuccess_96?si=Ywb4UOwOUS-6JgxC
Maybe you can experiment with queen plus sheer or regular pantyhose to see if they stop mosquito bits?Thank you for this video.👍
Great advice.Thank you.👍
Hi ken, super excited to see your video
Hope you enjoyed it!
Great story! As a former Newhall resident and also Ventura I hope you’ll present more of these local stories of the old west. I’ve always heard there existed a rich history in the area. Thank you.
You’re welcome. Stay tuned…
Always ( Thailand )
Interesting. All I knew is that is gives horrible sinus infections within a day or two of being exposed. I'd go to the mountains for fresh air and recreation only to feel very bad and go home.
Land “owner”
Amazing hike and video
Thank you❤️
As a long, LONG, time resident of the Hughes/Elizabeth Lakes region I found your dissertation somewhat interesting. There is a considerable lack of associated history pertaining to the areas north/north east around the Old Naylors hog farm as well as the Benz family and their involvement in just about everything in the 1860's. Of course, the Ruiz family also well armed and well intended with more than a modicum of relatively high morals also did much to maintain peace in the area. I used to often frequent the area now occupied by the lake. Back then, prior to 1970 Violin Canyon wound its way through the storied terrain with foundations of structures long gone serving as remnants of its past. The Frakes family up in the Lake Hughes area pretty much discreetly sponsored Tiburcio Vasquez and his motley crew during, roughly the same time period. If one knows where to look, there's evidence of where Chormicle's home once stood way up on the north side of Charlie Canyon.
Thank you for watching and commenting. Much appreciated. I look forward to learning more from long time residents such as yourself
I'm in the Mojave rn it's 110 to 115 these tips help you need salt and water an old writing I read once said "when travelling in heat carry as much water as physically possible" this is true one gallon lasts you 1 day bring salty snacks liquid IV 1 gallon in your hand and get a jug of water for you car 5 gallons try to pack light to
For a minute I thought I was seeing the opening scene to The Beverly hillbillies😮 You know where Jed shoots a hole in the ground and oil starts bubbling up
@@scottprather5645 smiling
Very interesting history. Violence and political corruption seems like not much has changed 😫
3:03 it sounds like my ex mother in law
Ken should do ASMR
Great. From Heaven. Raven or crow ?
In older days the locals used to shoot people there they saw doing graffiti
Thank you for this…one little sting is better than bugs all over feeling
Very interesting upload, Ken! I enjoyed listening and watching. Greetings from Elly ❤😍🎧
Thanks for listening
I've been sleeping in my jumbo Mayan hammock (same one!), indoors, for 17 years now. I'm a yogini and massage therapist of over 30 years. I can say that this form of sleeping is very therapeutic for the back. I have zero aches and pains when I wake up, the likes of which I do experience when I'm forced to sleep in a bed while traveling. Because the hammock is so comfortable, there is no need for tossing and turning, which means deeper sleep. It's a very cheap, practical solution to the exorbitant and toxic mattress industry. Highly recommended...
Lawlessness is STILL a daily occurrence in Kalifornia
Look nothing has changed😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hail to the stealth camping OG 🇺🇲🙂🇺🇲
Ken, that was great. Say, I wanted to ask you something about your past backpacking experiences and not sure where to ask it. (Another thread maybe?) You hiked the Sam Houston National Forest a few times. How to you feel it weighs in terms of hiking/camping experience. Crowded? Primitive enough? Scenic? Thanks!
Sam Houston is ok; some trails are good; I frequently hiked there because it was close to home; too many people and too much trash.
Wow......that's alot like a Texas story....they have a 'hanging tree there to......lol I've fished Castaic a 1000 times had no clue....cheers thanx..... Q
Thanks for commenting. Much appreciated
Thanks, Ken! All the best!
Same to you!
Would really appreciate experiment with tropical land leeches. Thank you.
Hey buddy we miss you out here in the woodlands… If you get the chance head over to the “Indians” Camp Robert’s area north of Paso Robles CA.
Thanks. Thanks for tip. I’ll check it out
Great video Ken! I have never been out west much but do enjoy reading about the history. Thank you for bringing some to life in your video. I hope you have more installments planned!
Glad you enjoyed it
It's always a great day when I see one of your videos pop up in my subs, Kenneth.
Wow, thanks
Have missed you. Where have you been. Enjoy your videos.
Ken, thanks for posting this interesting historical story that has happened nearby. I had never heard about it.
Glad you enjoyed it
This was an awesome video, Ken. It’s always nice when you post a video. As always, peace, Ken. ✌️
Mr. Kramm, Hope you're staying cool in Sta. Clarita. Did you ever thru-hike or section hike the AT or PCT?
Sounds like modern day Chicago
