Is this just a crazy story? I don't think so. That area is hot, and nothing is out there but rocks, dirt and hills mixed with some jack rabbits and scorpions. But, could a species live below the ground? That is possible. A whole town? Yes. Especially if the people there were 8+ feet tall, because they were probably aliens living in their accustomed way...below the ground for safety. The gold and treasure sounds a bit fairy tailish, but the rest does sound like it could be true.

Bourke Lee, in his book 'Death Valley Men' chapter: "Old Gold", describes a conversation which he had several years ago with a small group of Death valley residents. The conversation had eventually turned to the subject of Paihute Indian legends. At one point two of the men, Jack and Bill, described their experience with an 'underground city' which they claimed to have discovered after one of them had fallen through the bottom of an old mine shaft near Wingate Pass. They found themselves in a natural underground cavern which they claimed to have followed about 20 miles north into the heart of the Panamint Mountains.
