I grew up in Sonoma and hike that hill from the cemetery to the quarry a million times since the early seventies. Supposed to be a ghost called "the white lady" that comes out at night in the cemetery
The quarry was used to mine cobblestones that line the Streets of San Francisco. Stone was also used for ballast in ships. They employed Chinese labor. We used to hike all over there with our guns when we were kids-1966.
I grew up in Sonoma, as a teenager we threw parties up here every weekend. We called the area with stacked rocks "Rock City". Pretty sure it is all remnants of the Italian stoneworkers who immigrated in the late 1800's.
We used go up there every Christmas morning for the Christmas doob and eat fist fulls of psilocybin throughout the rest of the year, especially in the summers.
@12:17 Is that the hill behind the buildings? Only 12:20 in and I am loving this video. Bonus that it will be new to you as well, as we are watching! Imagine that growing up out there...and exploring the surrounding hillsides already...and THEN getting shown this little hidden gem for the first time...I imagine that was pretty sweet!.
I was up there years ago, happened upon it by chance while on a hike with a friend. At that time it was obvious some people were camping out up there but no sign of them. Then as time went by I forgot how I had accessed it and I asked another Sonoma native and he mentioned a little opening in the fence way up in the graveyard. I knew exactly where he meant. Anyway, very neat to see you’ve somehow discovered it. Growing up ‘the quarry’ was a hangout but we never got deep enough up there to find the village. You’re right it’s a gem in these parts but not entirely accurate about it being singular in that regard. There are some very mystifying spots up in the west Sonoma Mountain hills, hidden away. Your channel is cool!
Nice and Creative Videos， This is really my favorite channle.:). I really glad to see your post and your world was so brilliant. 🌴🌴🌴 excellent and Much appreciated!!🌴🌴🌴 🌴🌴🌴 🌴🌴🌴 🌴🌴🌴 from: Sonoma City Sonoma
new quest : prove 90 % history is still lost and needs to be rediscovered, that there is so much more to find and learn, that we are just getting started. thanks for coming along !
I see some serious maps coming out! I love how this channel is growing! The first videos were showing fun and hobby collecting, etc. Now we are getting disseminated information, maps, a total history lesson! I feel I understand the site so much better. AMAZING WORK BROTHER!!
Alston park and Westwood hills over in Napa, bene there , done that, lol, heres to the old days in the forgotten country towns of the north bay, cheers !
I've never heard of a settlement like this in your area, so I found this very interesting on this episode of Quest for Details. Waiting eagerly for episode 2 of this venture.
most of the history here is lost or hiding with the same main repeated facts appearing to be all there is , I'm hoping to show the huge variety of lost sites, this whole Bay Area is layered! thanks for watching !
That is something outstanding, it's not to often you get walk through a potion of the past. Whether it was from the miners or the native Indians in your country that is something special. Can't wait to see the next instalment even though the sound is distorted by the wind it is very interesting. Keep Rockin
The " shire ", almost the same thing I was thinking, Nate. I was thinking of the " little people". Leprechauns ! 🍀 Very informative and interesting video, as always. ☺️
Hey Nate I've been following your channel for a little while now but I'm a native snowmen and if you want to know about the mystery of what we call the Platte tell in Sonoma we can get together but all that was built by high school kids me being one of them to throw kader's at in the old cobblestone minds and before it was a cobblestone minds they were pulling cinnabar out of their those cobblestones when all the way to San Francisco and pave the roads back in the day
I'm third generation from just over the hill , with a couple of those generations working at S.D.C., we should get together and you can help me with a couple more things I got going on also, id love all the clues you got, my email is calluseyed@gmail.com
Yup. It was bored teenagers in a small town. It was built, and rebuilt multiple times, and we moved a lot of rocks up to that spot to build it the first time. It's pretty incredible what some kids will do to keep themselves busy.
Some of my far relatives were salesman among the gold diggers in California. Their name was Schocken. One of them had a large grocery store and the other had a large warehouse. This was around 1860s
i was born in Sonoma, and my friends and i made Super 8 movies up there at the quarry back in the 70s....
also, one of my Great Uncles committed suicide up there by sitting on a case of dynamite and blowing himself up. TRUE STORY.
also, a lot of those "structures" were just bored workers fucking around on their breaks.
