Nice video. I was there by myself a few years ago, walked around, took a little bit of video. A quiet and sobering place. Thanks for sharing the video.
That was a special time for Amboy back then. Thank you for sharing about your experiences. I'm sorry it took me so long to respond. Have a great day! :-)
I promise you it is a true cemetery. They are no names because those makers are so weathered. That area was settled in around 1858 then established around 1883 and the first school there was built around 1901. I was told that graves had been dug up as the railroad laid its tracks through the area. I've spoken with people who grew up in Amboy in the 60s and even back then the people of the town did not know who was buried there. People do keep it clean etc... but sadly they added their own personal touches over the decades and it has not been kept original. I was also thrown off by the upkeep and thought it was not actually that old myself but after speaking with dozens of people whose family's once lived in Amboy I can tell you 100% it is real. 😊
It does seem that way. I remember visiting Amboy in the 80's and it was indeed a more lively and active place. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts.
Were you able to meet the old manager ? We would stop every time to the river to talk to him ... he told us there is aliens or higher ups that made a machine to core out gold ... I have also witnessed my first ufo sighting at the railroad tracks up a way. The town was also on the market for $150,000 after the recession
I did meet the person who ran the place back in the 1980s. He was an interesting man, with some interesting tales. Thank you for sharing about your own experiences here. I'm sorry to have taken so long to respond. Have a great day! :-)
It might not be a real cemetery maybe it's an old movie set. From an old Western Movie. None of those graves has names and there is no sign saying it's a cemetery.
Nice vid, and I’ve driven through there without A/C, but don’t you think it’s a bit dangerous to ride without gear? If you spilled... Also, make sure to go spend $3+ for an 8 oz coke inside lol
Hit Sand Dunes, very miserable, good wind but continuous blowing of sand, everybody now very weak, thought Sam & Moore were all gone. LaMotte eyes are gone, everyone else's eyes are bad. Still going N.W. No signs of anything, a couple of birds; good wind from N. Really weak now, can't walk, pains all over, still all want to die. Nites very cold, no sleep. Eyes bad, lost all our wgt. aching all over, could make it if we had water; just enough left to put our tongue to, have hope for help very soon, no rest, still same place. 5th day out & we all thought we're gone. All wanted to die during noon it was so hot. Morn & nite okay. 2 drops of water!
Your words are always so perfect when you reflect on places like this. A beautiful video.
Know that once you've been to the high desert, that it will always call you back'...And you will go....Yes you will....
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. :-)
I love these adventures so much. So much history behind railroads and just is general from mining, etc.
Nice video. I was there by myself a few years ago, walked around, took a little bit of video. A quiet and sobering place. Thanks for sharing the video.
I am going on a road trip through the Mojave soon and I came across this video. Thanks for posting!
Nice.
If you dig up the bones and rub them on your body. You will get great powers.
Someone could turn that hotel and bungalows into a very cool retro tourist attraction
They are. Restaurant is open and the hotel is getting rebuilt. It's all open now.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts
Wonderful
Grow up in Yucca valley California and drove through Amboy serval times over the years between 1975 and 1986.👮♂️

I'm too chicken to go it alone. Thanks for the videos!

Thank you for sharing what you know about this old cemetery, Nicole.
Nice video
Thanks :-)
I WANT TO LIVE HERE.....
No.. Please no.
That is a horrible idea.
Thank you for sharing your comment. :-)
My Granny took me out there one summer she said the graveyard was from Miners accident thats why no names on the cross at one time it was all fenced
Very interesting! Thank you for sharing about this history of this graveyard. Fascinating!
You should stay the night out there and I bet you my life you will experience some crazy Ass shit
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and suggestion. I'm sorry to be so late in responding. Have a nice day. :-)
Amboy was still alive until the 1960’s. So were they all buried without names?
It does seem that way. I remember visiting Amboy in the 80's and it was indeed a more lively and active place. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts.
Looks like someone is still maintaining it.
I just remembered the movie 'south bound
Thank you for sharing your memory
When was this filmed
This video might have been back in about 2015 or 2016, I think. I'm sorry for my super-late response.
where was the well that you found?

Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter.
Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts. I’m sorry it took me so long to respond. Have a wonderful day! :-)
Curious if the earthquakes effected the cemetery grounds
That’s an interesting question. I’m not sure if it did. I’m sorry to be so long in responding. I wish you all the best! :-)
Is that a real cemetery or is that part of a movie that was left there??
It's a real cemetery.
No nobody is buried there!!

ALONE
Yes. Very long. Thank you for your comment. I’m sorry it took me so long to respond.
Na, those small graves outside of the posts are more likely pets. Some probably newer too
Thank you for watching my video. That makes sense that the smaller graves might be pets. Very interesting.
Nobody is buried there!!!! It’s a movie town I can guarantee 100% there is no one buried there
'nuther bucket of hair.........stay in Ca. please.....
Thank you for your nice message. I’m sorry it took me so long to respond. I hope you’re having a great day! :-)
