Search For Charles Manson's Last Hideout: Finding Goler

**Featuring actual Charles Manson recordings & his music, including the song "Arkansas" as well as recordings of the "Manson Girls".
Hidden in a remote gold mining canyon, high above Death Valley, in the desolate Panamint Mountains of California, is the last hideout of infamous cult killer Charles Manson & his young followers known as the Manson Girls. Barker Ranch still stands today, abandoned & left to the elements, only a few hardy & prepared travelers can make the arduous journey through the uninhabited Panamint Valley and into Goler Canyon where Charles Manson and his "family" of young killers hid out after the brutal murders of actress Sharon Tate, the LaBianca family, and other unfortunate people who the "Manson Family" encountered during the summer of 1969. For several months after the Los Angeles area murders Charles Manson and his followers roamed the hills and valleys around Death Valley & dropped acid in the grungy confines of Barker Ranch. By December of 1969 the Inyo County police tracked the "Manson Family" down and found Charles Manson cowering under the bathroom sink of Barker Ranch (which I've photographed). We followed the "Manson Family's" steps from the San Fernando Valley to Trona Pinnacles & Goler Canyon high above Death Valley. It was easy to sense what these young killers must have felt as they struggled to get their old school bus up rugged Goler Canyon...just as we struggled to get my stock Jeep Cherokee 4x4 up the same canyon. Wandering through the still furnished rooms of Barker Ranch and imagining the Manson girls singing hippy folk songs left us with a very creepy feeling. We found the old bathroom where Manson hid from the police and recorded the entire premises around Barker Ranch. I managed to get actual audio recordings of Charles Manson, including songs from his 1968 LP LIE, which I've included in this short film of our journey in search of Manson's last hideout. If you are a fan of the macabre or crime history you will be fascinated. This is our story about Finding Goler! Also featuring the music of Tricky, The Goodlookins', Johnny Cash, Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix & Jim Morrison, Portis Head, the Mason Family Girls, etc.

I definitely wanted to make a trip out to see the ranch someday and was very disappointed to hear that it was burned. I don't think it's completely destroyed and you can still go see it but you can't go inside. They might try to restore it but it just won't be the same. I hope they catch the buggers that burned it.

Borderhopper - Have you gone back to Barker since you last made this video? The ranch has burned down but there was a rumor going around that it might be rebuilt. I'm not sure what ever became of that. Your video on Barler Ranch is one of the best out there. Good footage and a nice mix of songs too. Well done !

@shitzulovey Please understand that Charles Manson has never physically killed another human being. It was alleged by the Killers of Sharon Tate, that they did it because their leader Manson coerced them into doing this. A likely story from a bunch of murders. Manson didn't do a God damn thing except trick a couple white girls to go out into the desert with him and do some acid and fuck. He was the scape goat. Mu ha ha ha ha ha
