The Lost Cement Mine is a legendary gold vein situated in the eastern Sierra Nevada of California, United States.[1] It was supposedly found in 1857 by two men who were separated from their group while crossing the Sierra. They traveled near the headwaters of the Owens River and found some hardened red igneous rock that may have had a large amount of gold in it. For many years I have researched and hunted for this lost mine. like many others, before me, I have come out of the Sierra Nevada mountains with only the clothes on my back and a tail to tell my grandkids. this episode is the first of many legendary lost gold mines I will be discussing. And maybe just maybe when you are out on the trail one-day lady luck will smile at you with a mine full of lost gold.

The Needles to Ludlow Truck Trail Part 1 when included with Part 2 is a 112-mile trek across the Mojave Desert. Part 1 starts in the rugged Sacramento Mountains, and looking back east is a green band following the Colorado River. Once out of the mountains, the trail is a straight line across the sandy desert floor through the Ward and Fenner Valleys, eventually reaching the famous Route 66. The abandoned Gold Ace west Mine is a great stop to inspect the mine's artifacts and try to reconstruct what once was a thriving operation. The trail is flat and maintained, and it is unlikely you will encounter another traveler. The trail is a great route for all driving skills when taking the proper safety precautions for a stay in the hot, desolate desert. One major warning: It is illegal and dangerous to cross railroad tracks other than at a designated roadway crossing. NS-203 is shown on all maps to cross over a busy section of tracks with no roadway crossing and is heavily used by trains in both directions. The track for this route provides a safe and short detour to a legal road crossing at the town of Essex and then continues back onto NS-203. the second half of the Needles to Ludlow Truck Trail. Starting at the halfway point at Route 66 near Essex, the trail ends at Ludlow. When reaching the hills, the views reveal an ancient landscape, untouched by man save for the road you are on. Panoramas are far as the eye can see in all directions and show how alone you are on this trail. BLM manages the trail and surrounding land. Dispersed camping is plentiful anywhere along the way using BLM camping guidelines. This trail is rated moderate only if using the bypasses built into the route. These bypasses provide an alternative to sections that would be rated severe to extreme and even may be impassable. These bypasses are not marked or signed,  An experienced driver should drive the trail using a high clearance 4x4.

In this episode, we will be heading back to Big Bear CA to try our luck at Gold Mountain 3N69. Gold Mountain is one of the more challenging offroad / 4x4 trails on the Big Bear Mountain Range. The trail starts by immediately winding its way up to just over 8,000 feet. Due to the technical challenges of this rock crawling trail and its unique location overlooking  Big Bear Lake, this trail is a popular destination for many off-roaders. Besides the simplicity of the location, Gold Mountain offers drivers two different technical ledge/waterfalls, the most significant rock garden on the mountain - the best spot for group photos, and the best views of the resort town. But be ready; the trail can easily deceive most drivers resulting in body damage to your rocker panels or something worse.
