The Chosen!

Here at Ancient Valley Ranch we raise Myotonic Goats, also referred to as Fainting Goats!

We are located in a valley just north of Gem Hill, where rock hounds are known to have found many precious gems and minerals. 

Just to the north of us are the hills known today as Standard Hill, back in 1894 it was known as Little Buttes, when W.W. Bowers found gold and staked his first claim. 

Also north of us is the world famous Silver Queen Mine, that was in full production in the 1930's, later its name was changed to the Golden Queen Mine. The Cactus Queen Mine which is north west of us, had a short span of about 6 years in the late 1930's and produced about six million dollars of rich silver and gold ore, becoming the leading silver producer in California for that period of time. 

Tropico Gold Mine is a few mile south of us. Ezra Hamilton owned a pottery shop in Los Angeles California. He made bricks from the fire clay mined from Tropico Hill, at that time it was called Hamilton Hill. In 1894 he panned gold from the clay and immediately went to the mine and located the lode.

Edwards Air Force Base is just to the south of us. And there are three known mysterious research facilities operated by Northrop, Lockheed and McDonnell Douglas, located in the Antelope Valley. It is speculated that they are testing anti-gravity propulsion systems and other exotic engine designs for new aircraft. 

A wide variety of unusual aircraft have been seen flying over and around the area, including glowing discs, triangular shapes, large boomerang shapes, elongated shapes with lighted windows, and small glowing spheres. 

So now what?
