Thanks for the trip down memory highway. I got my private pilot's license in the late 60s at Rose Aviation in Hawthorne. During the years following that, I would make many trips to camp under the wings of my aircraft and I've had many meals in the old cafe there. I remember some of the stories and saw VanTassel in the cafe a few times but never spoke with him. He sort of weirded me out at the time. Food was good there which seemed strange because I wondered where their customers came from. These are fond memories. I'm now 75 and don't fly anymore so these are now memories of my misspent youth.

In the late 1960's my friend Ed and I were newly licensed pilots. We got with our instructor, Bill, and rented a Cessna 172, and flew from El Monte to Giant Rock. Bill loved good food and he took us there. They had a little cafe out in the middle of nowhere. We landed on the big dirt strip and went to the cafe, run by flying saucer cult people. The place had a normal counter - looked like a typical 50's cafe. They had numerous framed, noterized space encounter testimonials fastened to the walls. They were also selling plastic flying saucer model airplane kits at the counter. "No funny remarks," Bill advised us. Ed and I sat down, and Bill went to the restroom. While he was gone a guy tapped me on the shoulder. I looked and saw a man in a green zoot suit. He was wearing a purple paddle tie with a flying saucer image on it, along with the words "I believe." The man looked at me and said "Do you believe?" I could only say, "We just flew in from El Monte." He looked at me again and said, "Oh, good!" and walked away. The hamburgers were delicious. Bill liked to fly over nudist colonies and wag his airplane wings, so I shouldn't have been surprised. The rock was not cracked back then. The saucer cult people also had a huge tower with weird reflectors and other stuff hung all over it. From the air you could see it for miles.

I had also heard that Critzer may have blown himself up, hard to say. When I was a teen in the late 60's, my dad lived in Morongo Valley, and he took me out to Giant Rock. The room under the rock was still intact and we ate at the cafe which had newspaper clippings of UFOs on the wall. I am so thankful that he helped me to experience this fascinating piece of history! I now live just down the highway from the rock.

Yet another WAY COOL video from you Steve . A little known fact about Van Tassel’s integratron is it’s built entirely without any nails or fasteners ( supposedly) and legend has it that if a person is so inclined to use or be able to use “ Dowsing Rods” like the kind people used to find water sources in arid lands , that if you held a pair in your hands and walked to the center of the building the rods would cross & uncross as you approached and then passed through the center of the room ! At least according to a book about it I have a copy of that describes that adventure. Interesting things lay all over our Deserts & mountains & all it takes is someone like you ( or I ) to go out with a sense of adventure to explore . Thanks again for sharing this one here Steve 😎👍

I've been out to Giant Rock multiple times when I was a teen. My dad's best friend, Bill, would take me flying anytime I wanted to go (I split the cost of the airplane rental with him). Giant Rock was one of my favorite places to go. I met George Van Tassel on one of our trips there. Bill warned me to not make light of flying saucers or extra terrestrials as George would take offense so I kept my mouth shut. I've been in the hermits house too. It's sad to see that the house and George's restaurant are no longer there. A lot of good memories there. Thanks for the tour.

That is what caused the the peice to break off after time. I bet if you would have looked closer. You could have spotted the drill holes somewhere along the edge of the peice that had beoken off. Good job. Peace...

I believe the Cafe was in operation too as I recall alot of cars parked in that general area. The Integratron was the big attraction and it was just standing there with nothing else around it an it appeared to be like an abandoned structure. My dad related to me while we were there the exact same story as told in this video. I was surprised to see a big chunk broken off the rock, obviously in my memories the rock was still intact.

Huell Howser had a Californias Gold episode on the Intragon amd the acoustics it can produce. Giant Rock was a big spot for parties and ravers in the 90s. Left a party up there and just missed a fight/riot break out, lucky..

Correction. It WAS NOT Van tassels brother that built this. It was daniel boone. His son in law. Married to his daughter. Some things said is not all correct. This was not connected at all to some time machine. It was designed in mind. Called the fountain of ypurth. To make a person young in appearence instead of looking old. About time machine. Maybe its like turning back. The age of a person. Yourthfulness in appearence. If that is what. They mean in this video.???

1982 Giant Rock was not broken. 3 friends and myself went there. Near to Goat Mountain and Landers. Notice the white areas on the rocks. These white areas show where the smaller rock split off and fell . At the ground - which is actually flat rock - there was obviously a few fires made exactly at the bottom point where the rock split off and fell. Did the fires have anything to do with the piece that broke away .

Just now found some slides dated Feb 1977. They are a bunch of airplanes from Barstow that would fly to Giant Rock for breakfast on the weekend. Back in those days the room under the rock was still intact. Too bad I can not post those those photos.

When I received my pilots license-back in 1970 I use to fly out to giant rock with friends and get a hamburger and listen to all the tails of space people and the ships they used to get here. They had many pictures of these ships. It was an interesting time and place.

This video only grazed the surface of what goes on in the Giant Rock/Goat Mountain area. There's so much more. The main vein of weirdness goes right through that area and all you noticed was the Rock?

That's definitely a pretty good-sized Boulder but I have seen bigger of course they got monsters like that all around the world in certain places, I would not want to try to move it but with the right crane you could.

Thanks for the history. I lived a few miles from giant rock. It's a nice place. My dad took us there to have pie at the cafe when we lived in san bernardino. Weird i ended up moving there at 50

Wouldn't be surprised if that german guy was suffering from ptsd from the war, which would be a reason why he would build his home under the rock, he would had felt more safe and secure, mainly because in ww1 the trenches where the only safe place they can be!
