The first time I ever saw snow falling was in St. Petersburg, Florida, one morning in the latter 1970s. I was in high school at the time, and was getting ready to leave for school. The snow melted before it could accumulate on the ground.
It’s so weird that as a child living in the desert I used to explore sites like this around Death Valley in the early 80s that had old 1950s junk. Only to see Wonder Hussy explore similar sites but contemporary to when I was a kid.
The Mojave Desert is a harsh, but very spiritual, place. It’s as much a matrix as anything else in my life has been. Growing up in the desert has a different gestalt than growing up in a temperate zone, with its humidity and rainfall. As children growing up in the Mojave, we chased lizards and snakes, instead of frogs and squirrels. There is an arid openness about it, and a true feeling of being alone, that you don’t get in any other type of environment 😁
Will never understand why some people vandalize and damage old abandoned places such as this one. I can just imagine what a cozy home it once must have been, sitting all alone out in the desert, under the beautiful starry sky..Thanks for taking us to these places Sarah, your vids are pure enjoyment..Stay safe exploring out there.
I haven't read all of the comments so somebody may have already said it but I think that "23" is actually a symbol for a heart signifying love for the dearly departed.
The old Chevy pickup looks a lot like one my dad bought new in 1965 and still had well into the '90s. Lots of happy childhood memories of riding in the back (bed) of that old truck - going to the fair or up to the mountains to cut and haul back firewood for the winter, all piled high above the level of the cab and me and my older brother riding all the way home on top of the load of wood. Poking around in the ruins of what was someone's home must evoke visions of what their lives might have been like - echoes of bygone days, the laughter of children playing, the sounds of daily life. I wonder if, on a quiet spring day, one could stand very still and maybe hear some of those sounds. Nice video. Cheers.
The trailer was built by a company called Hallmark there in Redlands California on Redlands Boulevard that's just a code for the cabinets I work there 40 years ago
@@techreviews.heretoday.gonetomo You could tell by the conveyor system and overhead hoppers that a lot of trucks loaded there and hauled the aggregate from there while the quarry was in operation. The access road would have been maintained. The trailer toter would have had no problem delivering the trailer to the location.
You are too funny... oh Mom, Cinders again? Sarah, a little dusting and cleaning for the afternoon and you have yourself another vacation spot... LOL... Another wonderful Adventure. We love you!
Sarah I just want you to know, I love your videos! I’m so glad I found your channel….a couple of years ago now I think. You find some very interesting places, so glad you bring us along with you! Stay safe out there!! ❤️❤️❤️
I love the way you piece together a story of how people lived there from what’s left behind. Especially like the underwear and Martini connection story! 🍸
I am constantly amazed at your stories that you come up with based upon stuff you come across in exploring.. I really laugh at most of them pretty hard. Been subscribed for 3 years now....Keep up the good work and thanks for letting everyone tag along....
You sure know how to pick them Sarah and I am glad to know it snows in the desert, not being so hot and dry. You also do have a vivid imagination. It seems like it was a housing place and next will be more the work area or mine.
Love the videos. It's weird how so many different things from different times all come together in the middle of nowhere. Blows my mind. Oh, and I like how you say it's 40 and cold lol. Best wishes!
Winter wonderland with Wonderhussy? Looks as if someone tried to make a comfortable home there. Guess the cinder market bottomed out. Part 2 of this story should be good. Thanks Sarah.
What a shame. That Datsun 510 Wagon is a collectors item. Too bad it's full of bullet holes. Love the videos Sarah, hope to run into you someday while I'm out filming.
I pictured it as it once was and you can tell it was a really nice place to live. And well...there's not a lot of entertainment out there so I guess they "made due" with what they had.
Its always nice to start my Wednesdays out with the huss. I've been watching for a few years now and always look forward to the videos. The cinder mine still looks like it did when I saw it a few years back. Love the old trucks and signs up by the mine area especially the old yellow dodge , the only difference seems to be the graffiti on the tank by the Mobil home that wasn't there last time . By the way I read the Aware guy from Indecline died last year so I believes so he won't be doing any more graffiti. Just makes the stuff he did more ironic and sad.
Wow, what a find. Interesting collection of buildings and cars. Must have had a reliable power source. Thank you for sharing your awesome adventure with us today from Henrico County Virginia
Sarah you are AWESOME! I love your video and your imagination is great keep the videos coming I'm living the exploration side of my life through you thank you.
I guessed the Chevy truck because I drove one on the farm when I was going to high school in North Dakota. I remember driving it into a snow filled ditch in the middle of a North Dakota winter blizzard. Bill Williams is the name of a tributary of the Colorado River near Parker Dam in Arizona. There's a state park there where you can camp.
I love your abandon places videos! Here's an idea for one of the "Tales from the Casita" series: what is the weirdest thing(s) that you've come accross at an abandon place?
Cinders have been used on track surfaces and roads to provide additional traction in winter conditions. Cinders are also employed as inorganic mulch in xeriscaping (wikipedia)
The Explore With Us crew also did a video here and the former cinder mine was shut down in the early 200s. I recognized the old Chevy truck and the early 1970s Datsun which are still there. The mine had supplied much of the cinder blocks for buildings in LA.
Bill Williams faked his own death and carries on his work at the mine in secrecy and will continue to do so despite Sarah and all you other meddling kids!
...Hi there Wonderhussy...love your videos...I live in El Salvador and yes, we have lots of volcanoes here and lots of lava rock everywhere...but Nevada?...Are there volcanoes there?...Love the way you bring to life the stuff you find abandoned....And at 22.30 you have a picture perfect pic there...Thanks for your videos!!
Cool place. I really like that old trailer with all the nice wood. I just had my grandmas car like the big one, hauled away 2 yrs ago. $300 is what the guy gave me. Had a truck like that Chevy too. Im trying to get it back. Thanks Cheers
Great video! That "Ham Number" is most likely the Model info (name/number) for the mobile housing unit that you were exploring. Should've taken the mouse & preserved him in resin! Also, my Grandpa had a 1963 Chevy pickup that was really similar to the white one here. The "23" looked to me like a keyboard heart (
Been there! About 15 years ago trying to get home from Vegas. Fwy was shut down so we tried to take a dirt road. Ended up at a rock waterfall and had to backtrack many miles .
White Wall Tires, cannot remember when I last saw those rolling around the streets. I live in Atlantic Canada and yes it does look cold there and not much difference in our temperatures today either.
That Water Spigot in the yard could have been like Jerry Clower's Grandpa Ledbetter who drove a pipe into the ground out front with a spigot on top so that people would think they had running water!!!
There is a famous "Bill Williams" if you drive to Lake Havasau. The Bill Williams River, etc. Kate and I decided to drive to the Lenwood/Barstow outlets and make the drive on our day of today from Vegas. Primm only has a few shops left open these days but Barstow still has its Outlets open and depending on your attire and fashion you can still find some Gems. Kate scored big as usual. I found some great things at Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger. I like to go after the clearance section but have to wait many months to wear the items. Who knows if I will be around and be fit enough but the deals are very incredible. We scored just like in Primm at the lonely 8 or 9 stores left there. If you are willing to wait a few seasons to pass by and think you will be around then go to the clearance sections. Who cares if the fashion is different. You can score some really great items for 70% to 80% off. Kate probably scored the best deal at the makeup shop in Barstow outlet. So many things for 5 bucks. We were hungry on the way home skipping lunch and never stopped at the Peggy Sue's Diner. Very authentic and good solid diner food. Kate had a late afternoon omelet and I had the "Gary Cooper" Ham and Cheese sandwich with sides. Good food and would stop again. Love your videos Sarah. America is making a comeback. Most are asleep but not all. Cheers
DKNY was the shop of choice for Kate. Very cool winter items on sale. I am very careful about where the money goes but have to admit that she is very keen eyed. She is willing to wait many months for a small winter schedule to carefully buy things that are smart deals. Items that were twice as much and even 5 times as much back in September 2021 are now 70% to 80 % off in Barstow and in what is left in Primm, NV Cool stuff. She bought a few purses and a couple of coats that were valued at 2K - 3K plus at the Fashion Show Mall mid 2021 and waited. We bought those same items for about 25% the cost waiting for this trend to fizzle. So what if we all have these items a year later. If you are buying for a male shopper. I found a couple of male sweaters at a few shops that are not sissy and are very Male. Cool to wear. If you are into the sissy wear then go shop at Coach for Men. They have amazing stuff their as well. Not my style but they have great deals their as well. Well worth the drive.
Lot's of great Deals on family that want their kids to shop preppy. I am 45. I found some items. Wife is 36. She found great deals at Michael Kors, DKNY, and the makeup place that is like Sephora . Columbia had some cool things as well. Also the Reebok store if you are looking for workout outfits on sale. Yoga, gym stuff especially. Small sections everywhere, but if it works then you will have a great trip visiting
Oh, I'll be there with bells on, Love(8-). Thanks for this half...shift into Paul Harvey mode...and we're awaiting "The rest of the story..."(8-). Love ya, Feisty!

Individuals with too much time on their hands.
Because they are morally bankrupt!
@@jasonbanks6291 also, another possibility
Never been stranded and in true need as well. Pigs.

Many years from now, someone may be walking thru your compound wondering about the folks that lived there!
That was interesting. Like your imaginative comments as you go exploring. Thankyou! 😎
Love the video.
It can only be a ghost town if it had a post office and residents ... Otherwise it's just an abandoned spot.
Your awesome sara

That was a great place, loved the old vehicles, trailers, furniture and that fireplace! Bummer it was so vandalized
Your storyline are always humorous. Love following your odd adventures.

You have such a great imagination WH. I love it!! No wonder you can't sleep at night, your mind must be always going. I loved the tease for part 2.
Guys use clear polish in the cold to keep nails from splitting.
Thank you for producing these ever-so-entertaining videos! God bless you and your family!

We got that snow the same day in Daggett, CA lasted about 5 to 10 mins and I made sure my dogs who've never seen snow got outside to see it.
Wow! Amazing find. Love it. Looks like they had a wild party 🤣😂

Ms. Hussy - you're adorable! The writing on that fridge, "
Great video; great area; massive snow storm; and you; nothing could be better::
Keep it up.
Did they mind cinders for Santa to give to the naughty children?
I wonder how much a stocking full would be worth...
39 degrees is jeans and t-shirt weather here in Northern Hellinois......

That's the catch in desert temperatures. The dry heat makes 100 degrees tolerable, but a dry cold is hard to take.

You always make my day when I see your post. :) fun.
You are one brave gal to have looked inside that fridge. Good thing it was cold. Lol
The Servile refrigerators ran on Propane, that is why you find them in the old abandoned buildings you go through.

Joshua trees look so nice with a dusting of snow.
Despite the mess, those two housing units were pretty nice.
1965 or 1966 Chevy truck. The little station wagon, is super collectable! Yup, 1969-1972 Datsun.
Bill Williams was the mine boss and met his end when the crew found him wearing Victoria's Secret
Your imagination equals Sarah's.
@@larryhutton8776 I was thinking the same thing. LOL
Bahaha
Bill Williams faked his own death and carries on his work at the mine in secrecy

When she opened that fridge, I thought she was going to find "Bill Williams" remains!
...strange...I had the same feeling...
Looks like a 64 Chevy. I learned to drive in one of those in 1979. And my Dad had a Datsun wagon like that, around the same time
Wow nice woodwork, in that old Mobile. 🙃
You lift my spirits!
Awesome video.👍
I was out there Feb, 80F shorts and flip flop weather! Next stop Valley View Ranch!
Welcome To Tweekerville !!!
Girl, your awesome!
I love that Datsun station wagon!!
...my father used to own one...it was brown...
That beer can is old huh…relatively. Thanks for you Videos. Funny
Thanks for the video 👍
The truck is a '64-'66 Chevy truck. Yellow is a Datsun. Great videos, every one of them.
Just had an afternoon of binging on old UA-cam shorts of Elvis when she made me spew my Beaujolais with the "Return to Cinder" That girl is dynamite!
I think the “23” on the fridge is actually a heart:
Bill Williams played Kit Carson in "The Adventures of Kit Carson" from 1951-55.
I know. It's getting to 29degrees in N. Texas. Love You.
Been there! About 15 years ago trying to get home from Vegas. Fwy was shut down so we tried to take a dirt road. Ended up at a rock waterfall and had to backtrack many miles .

39 would have been nice today at our garage door install,15 and very windy. Mn sucks in the winter!
That old Buick looked like my first car, a light blue 82 Regal
This place looks like a great place to reoccupy..
Return to cinder. Lol that's a good one.
this was a good one, Wonderhussy!
"See if there's anything in the fridge"......"Hey! It's Bill Williams!"
