What is the Connection Between DEATH VALLEY, Ca & CYNTHIANA, Ky?

This seemingly god forsaken place does contain one unexpected show place to attract tourists.  In the far northern section of the desert, in the blowing sand and rocky terrain of Grapevine Canyon, stands an elegant mansion as out of place as a rose in an onion patch.  It is known as Death Valley Ranch.  It is also known as Scotty’s Castle, in honor of the prospector for whom it was constructed.  The prospector was Walter Scott, a longtime resident of one of the most inhospitable places on earth who became a living legend in bygone time under the nickname of Death Valley Scotty.
