Mystery Sites Strange and unusual sites found in the desert Home: Page 1   Rock Circle   I found this mysterious rock circle while riding my ATV in the Jean, NV and I-15 area. I did not look as if it was very old, but it was very interesting when it I found it. There are no roads or trails that go near it. I found it while hiking on top of a ridge about 1/4 mile North of I-15. View map, Location Map for this trip. GPS Position: N35o 53.46 W115o 13.80 (WGS 84) Sink Hole   This small sink hole was found by a BLM employee many years ago. He gave me the GPS coordinates and told me where to find it. The sink hole is about a 1/2 mile North from Devils Hole near the Ash Meadows Wildlife Preserve. The pit is about 50 feet deep. If you intend to enter the pit you will need ropes and rappelling equipment. View maps, Survey Map or Location Map for this trip. GPS Position: N36o 26.13 W116o 17.42 (WGS 84) Unknown Cave   This cave was found during a Trip to the Armagosa Sand Dunes. The cave appeared to be formed when the alluvial volcanic rock on top collapsed forming a small cave. View maps, Survey Map or Location Map for this trip. GPS Position: N36o42.88 W116o 35.37 (WGS 84) Desert Megaphone   This odd looking hunk of metal called the 'Desert Megaphone' was found during a trip to Afton Canyon, California. Nobody knows who built the Desert Megaphone or who put it there, but I feel it was made by someone working for the railroad long ago. The Megaphone is a big tube of welded steel fashioned from several train parts. From the looks of it some attention to detail was done to create it. If you bang on it with a rock it makes a loud clanging noise. Someone also attached a small brass bell to it, for what reason who knows. The direction it points also has no reason either.
