Never Say Never To Always

Midnight mystery under the trees and the stars. Charles Manson and the "Manson Family" lived at Spahn Ranch, an old Western town movie set, in the late 1960s, and have left an indelible mark on Southern California, and movies such as "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" show that they will not be forgotten. Manson had a "right hand" man named Bruce Davis who drove a Corvair. This rusty 1960s Corvair is hidden in the rocky mountains just above where Spahn Ranch was and is likely his. Some now refer to this car as the Zodiac Car due to a popular myth that Bruce Davis was involved in the Zodiac killing, although this was never fully established. If this car could tell stories, they'd likely be stories of horror and violence. How this or the other cars got up here remains a mystery. This long exposure image was photographed on a warm breezy evening, hiking almost 2 miles round trip to get here. On the way back, I discovered another car, making me wonder how many other secrets these hills hold.
