COMMENTS:
Located in Shoshone, just off Hwy 127 and Hwy 178 toward Parhump. Easy walking tour. REMAINS: Several dugout dwellings and a graveyard |
In the 1920�s miners carved residences in the clay cliffsides, since building materials and budgets were in short supply. There are many dugouts on both sides of the gulch, some have chimneys, doors, even split levels and a garage. The gulch may have been named by resident Jon Vollmer for area near Butte, Montana where he once lived. Another group of dugouts is located just east of Shoshone near the Amaragosa River along highway 178 and includes Harvey Rutledge�s Castle in Clay. Nobody has lived in Dublin Gulch since 1970. Similar dugouts can be found along the China Ranch road in Tecopa, and near Lower Noonday Camp. Submitted by: Bill Cook |
