Andrew Jackson Longstreet left his mark in the Armagosa Valley near the end of the 19th century.  Much like the shady “Scotty” of Scotty’s Castle, he lived in what is now Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge.  His history ranges from cattle thief to Indian advocate.  We visited the Longstreet cabin and spring that bears his name.

Several of the springs in Ash Meadows are crystal clear and blue.  Pup fish dart back and forth and the sound of crickets and the breeze are the only sounds.  We tried to capture this experience for you with this one minute video.  Watch closely and you can see the water flowing up from the bottom of this spring.

It has truly been a great visit for us, here in the Death Valley, Armagosa Valley and Shoshone Village area as we wrap up the show in Shoshone today and head home.
