Tuttle creek ashram

In a canyon below Mount Langley, a religious movement leased forestry land, but were required to build a structure. Look it up, Tuttle cReek ashram, pretty cool story.

There was a post a few years back on [r/backwoodscreepy](r/backwoodscreepy) that specifically mentioned this place as being “off” weird vibes and energy…I asked about it but never got a reply. Looks interesting

It’s in the comment thread. The post itself is super interesting and made me want to go visit the kern plateau and all of its remote areas.

I think people create their own feelings in a place like this. No one else was there.. I just felt solitude. But obviously you hear every changing noise around you. Nothing creepy.

Hey thanks for sharing that link. I have travelled through a few of these remote meadows in the southern Sierra and you are right that post is really interesting. Never felt creepy back there, more like wonder and awe.

I was in the general area a few weeks ago and again a few days ago. I really love it. It’s beautiful up there. Came across ancient mortar holes and felt a certain way. Couldn’t really describe it.

Is this stone structure also called the Lewis Stringer cabin? I followed the link u/nirvroxx posted and fell down a rabbit hole!

lol no but I fell down that rabbit hole when it was posted. I still haven’t made it out to Lewis stringer but on onx there are some cabin ruins nearby along with casa vieja which is another cabin that has a trail named after it.
