    Wonderhussy is such an enigma that it blows my mind! She has no education in the major fields that she explores-masonry construction techniques, carpentry, engineering, mining, blasting, machinery, geology, automobile history, biology, plant sciences, etc, etc etc! Yet that does not slow her down at all! And we love her all the more for it. We are excited to help her and add in our two cents worth. She rarely shows her expertise in the fields she is an expert at-art, literature, journalism etc, etc, etc. Her indomitable spirit conquers all. Her mercurial personality leaves us all in the dust-we cannot but hope to be carried along in her wake. We stand in awe and salute you Queen Wonderhussy!

    barely kept up with her! Good idea keeping these two special places name secret as not too many know where in the
    desert they are.

    If you're interested in desert cave life, track down a copy of Colin Fletcher's The Man From The Cave. Fletcher discovered one of these places on a desert trek and began investigating; he was fairly sure he had figured out who the occupant was and what happened to him. And if you're wondering what kind of person hides out in the desert, think army deserter.

    truly a stellar destination, and I have to recognize the ever advancing production values. .
    I am glad she did the hiking, plus that she went with companions for safety. that I could just visually check it out at my leisure is pleasant, because that beautiful landscape is not benevolent, and packing water is heavy. I'm just a fair weather tourist, but have come across a few old desert mining remains while kicking around in the desert .
    I even once found an old rusted out western revolver gun frame ,perhaps a .38 caliber from the size, the wooden handle long gone, and the steel now just a solid piece of rust that used to be a gun, when following a long coil of tightly wound rusted iron across the desert sand, that used to contain a wooden water pipe for mining operations.
