A stay at the "Cultus Camp" will surround you with unique art, homemade moonshine, views of the milky way, and perhaps a drive to a prime UFO viewing destination, where if you are fortunate, you just might catch sight of an ET.

After a teeth-chattering ride into the wilderness, we arrive at our potential UFO viewing destination. “This is literally the fourth dimension; every day is like 'The Twilight Zone,'” Corbell says.
It takes a moment for my eyes to adjust, but as they do the beauty of the Mojave at night comes into clear view. Though there is no moon tonight, the stars above are more than bright enough to light the way. In fact, the view of the clear night sky and the stars above is well worth the trip alone.
We stop in at a small building called “the jail.” It’s broken down and riddled with bullet holes in the door. It’s creepy, intriguing, and makes you think something is without question lurking around the corner, but it’s so dark you can’t see past the four walls of the structure so you’ll never know who’s watching you from the other side.
We sit quietly, patiently, in the soft desert sand, looking up at the stars and waiting. Corbell shares a few tales that I promised would remain off the record, but are so fantastic in nature that I can’t imagine he’s making them up.
“When you get out here in silence you can detect bullshit,” Corbell says as I peer through the night vision goggles hoping for a little green man to pop over the mountain ridge. Each time I think I see something, Corbell reminds me that the land here “wants to toy with you. It’s like an animal.”
After sitting out until 2 a.m., Corbell and I decide to call it a night. Without spotting a single unexplained phenomena, I put on my goggles and load my gear into the four-wheeler, still pleased at getting to experience something so special during my visit to one of California’s most unique places.
