- Welcome to Wonderhussy Adventure #805
Date of adventure: 5/29/24
While looking for a place to camp in a remote desert mountain meadow, I stumbled on a THIRD cabin -- and this one was pretty nice, too! I found some surprising entries in the visitor's book... one of which leads me to believe there might even be a fourth cabin up there somewhere. The mystery never ends!

wonder hussy, wonderhussie, wonder hussie, wonder hussey, wonderhussey
You need to tell that old guy he doesn't own the land. Great video, Sarah.
Right we all own it.
Any male that "browbeats" Lady Wonderhussy over locations, is no man; only a selfish toddler. Keep it up, you bring joy to multitudes!!
Them dudes ( mostly) actually send her e-mails to her, brow beating her, and many of these places can be found
on the web with the names of those places and how to get there. Kid you not!
haters going to hate
Betcha Mr. Browbeater is a
hater with hairy palms...😉
Unless they outright own it, which they don't, they need to STFU. If those fellers are reading - STFU.
@jamesmichener3366 I agree 100%! Now, Wonderhussy is so scared of what people might say about her, that she wouldn’t even sign “Wonderhussy” on that cabin’s register.
I am beginning to wonder if she isn’t turning into a Wonderwussy on us?
Wonderhussy, you are so unique that I consider you a national treasure. You see the world (maybe even the universe) through a set of eyes that few people even have the great fortune to even imagine. You are adventurous, spontaneous, and inquisitive - and I can't imagine any better qualities in anyone. Stay you and let us appreciate your adventures through your eyes.
I really like her balanced approach to different issues. If everyone had that attitude... this world would be a better place.
You shouldn't give a damn what anybody thinks about you or says about you or write about you. be you and be glad to be you
You should go ahead and sign your name. The algorithm for Ghost Town Living and a bunch of overlanding content creators brought me to your channel during the pandemic. Been a big fan ever since. Be proud! You're awesome! Plus, I bet more people know about you than you think 😊
If there's a fourth cabin, you have the perfect excuse to return to this place and search some more. That meadow looks like a wonderful Wonderhussy camping spot. Stay well Sarah. ❤❤❤
Desert Drifter is a pretty chill guy who I watch for desert adventures besides you. Would be a pretty cool hook up for some adventures. He is a married man and his wife accompanies occasionally. Worth watching and he explores a lot of indigenous ruins and like you he is respectful of everything.
Grizzly Adams was my favorite TV show as a kid. It ran from 1977 to "78. Bozo was the bear's real name; Ben Franklin was his stage name. Coincidentally, there was another short-lived TV series in the late 60's with another tame bear. It was called Gentle Ben.
Grizzly Adams was filmed outside of Salt Lake City a bunch of us cross country skied to the area back in the day, It was Beautiful
The Navy, Air Force, and others fly through Star Wars regularly. I've flown through there several times back in the day. The Star Wars Canyon - Jedi transition is among the most fun things I've ever done in a jet... I won't say the actual so as not to get your comments and email blown up by a bunch of gray-haired ED-ridden ball draggers... LOL. But that's mostly all public land, so there's not much they can say... Keep doing what you do, SJ. You make many folks' days better...
I know exactly where you're at! I've been there. We were going to camp in that cabin, but we were warned that it's haunted. I didn't believe in any of that, so the next week, we carried our stuff up to the cabin and settled in for the weekend. About 2am the entire place starts shaking.. dishes were rattling in the kitchen, it was unreal. We grabbed our stuff, loaded up the truck and got the heck out of there. Ended up cowboy camping about 15 miles away. Next day, we went back to the little store where we were warned to get more info. We told them what had happened and some old timer spoke up. He said there's a mine up there and indians had massacred 3 miners, then set the original cabin on fire. The next week, about 10 cowboys laid up and waited to see if any indians showed up. They sure did and the cowboys had the new Winchester rifles and slaughtered them. He said he didn't know who was haunting the place but suspected it was the miners trying to warn you off. True story!
Any chance it could have been a mild tremor? After all, California is fixing to shake, quake and sink into the Pacific Ocean.
@@susana301301Not to mention F 16’s flying through.
@@Americathebeautiful49She mentions (before she invokes the Air Force, Edwards and F16s) the US Navy (no F-16s AFAIK) which I think is the primary user of this airspace. Edwards AFB IS in the western Mojave, but the Navy's China Lake is closer. You can watch the Top Gun: Maverick movie for a Hollywood depiction on how these training air spaces are used.
Yeah definitely a tremor. You’re near the fault line
Sounds like a place to check out I hope these places stay clean and maintained.
When I was a very young man, I worked in the logging industry on the Olympic Peninsula of Washington state. We would regularly get Navy jets doing low level flight training in the areas where we were logging. The jets were louder than our chainsaws! I remember waving at one pilot and his wave back to me one incredibly clear and beautiful day. I remember that incident because clear days were as rare as diamonds in that area! Good times as a strapping young guy!
Watching this channel for years, I have come to the conclusion that there are a great number of things right in the middle of nowhere.. It must be very crowded right in the middle.. (ducking and running)
could you imagine being up high in those mountains at 7000 feet the night sky that you would see when that sun went down? I can just picture wonder Hussey sitting in her lounge chair looking up at all those billions of stars having a nice glass of Merlot. what a peaceful moment that would be.
I am old now but
still cherish the memories of nights like those in the Sierras.
Hey,I'm old now too; but,those rare and glorious memories are something that stay with us during our lifetimes. Stargazing in the desert is the BEST!
Up at 7,491 feet as per Gaia. :)
Or a sagetini or ranchwater
I'm old too... but that's not stopping me from still doing things. Going to Santa Cruz Island camping and kayaking in a few weeks. Not to mention still doing drywall after 52 years. Building a car. Yard work. Maintaining a marriage of 48 years. Typing on You Tube. Etc. Etc. Etc.
Never give up!!! 🙃
You can't appreciate the milky way until you witness it from a place like that 👍
Seriously, the cabin is like winning the lotto. That flat patch next to your rig, I'd be a happy camper there
Selfish need to let it go have some faith in your fellow man. Knowing we ALL are stewards of this great land, please take care of the land and enjoy, and stay safe thank you
@@davec9244 what? Was that to me? Likely not
Maybe that stone structure was a very permanent claim marker.
My thought too... The wood part is for the notice.
That makes more sense than my assumption it was a heat generating device.
Your exploration videos give me a nostalgic old timey feeling thats different from sites here in the east. Thanks WH.
'Frank' left the same message to Wonder Hus in the log book seen in the last video's cabin. Saw it when I paused the video to read the entries.
I was going to guess California mountains but then the log book kind of gave it away. Frank is so happy you found his entry. Always be proud. Ignore the haters.
The Hermit Lifestyle is solitude at it's finest!!!
PBS needs to start a new Californias Gold like Hewell Howser used to host, but use WH instead!
Desert Drifter is very respectful. He explores indigenous ruins, petroglyphs & ancient wall art in the SW.
A tangent: I just realized while watching this that I've been watching Wonderhussy's videos for at least seven years! Also met her very briefly at Burning Man. Godspeed You! Wonder Hussy
I know your location. You are between the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans, and between the Canada and Mexico borders. Easy to find you
Way to go.... You nailed it right down and now 1000 people will want to check it out..... hahahahahahahahahaha :)
@@johnhenryholiday4964per hour... lol
Funny story. I got caught up in that meadow during a downpour. Probably the first rain in well over a year. I wake up the next day to critters that got into my LATCHED Ice chest. Antelope or some sort sheep looking thing with horns all around me. RODENTS EVERYWHERE. Put empty ice chest back in the truck and left.
Can't wait to see you meet up with Brent...
That would be a WINNING vid !!!
Get up to Cerro Gordo, W.H. !!!
wh has already been to cerro gordo
Pre-WonderHussy, I was an avid fan of Huell Howser. And I remember playing a drinking game where every time Huell says, "amazing," we'd take a shot of liquor or beer. Now that he's gone, the drinking game continues. And every time Wonder Hussy says, "middle of nowhere," we do the same. Cheers!🍻
I 'm so drunk! LOL
Or "desolate."
Or "Yikes"
Or "Golly"
Isn't this Great?? Howserism
The painting in the cabin. Is "Breakers At Twilight" by Robert Wood. We had a copy on the wall when I was a kid. It's the Pacific coast.
I know exactly where you are. It's not Edwards that frequents the area. (They have no combat aircraft assigned). Its Nellis, Hill, Davis-Monthan, Luke and Gila Bend that buzz the area. Not too far (For pilots) is the bombing range
I am a retired USAF Combat /Crash /Rescue Fire Fighter. Had to go into that valley several times. Pilots survived everyone of the incidents. Aircraft...not so well. We played pick-up sticks and got out. Fun times!
I recently found a map from the Air Force about area R-2508 describing a favorite place of hers and others
to soak au-natural which on their map is called Nudy Camp. It's a few miles east of Independence ,CA.
There sure are a lot of no-where's - and 'middles' of them too! Always happy to see you and visit with you and thank you!
I wanna see WH go to the "edge of nowhere"!
Guy Starbuck is a friend of mine. That's OK because I have several videos of that valley and the surrounding areas and I name them all. Never heard anyone squauk about it yet. It's China Lake Naval Air Weapons Station. Your last shot was just excellent.
Yeah but she is a little gun- shy after an incident that happened to her a few months back. Check out issue 28
of Alta Journal for the story on her and what happened. I'd be gun shy too if everyone knew where and how I
lived plastered on vlog videos . The old one night (or morning) a knock came from my door and the cops are like
1 hour away. I'd wouldn't be too euthusiastic about writing my name on stuff which might anger some old dude
the next time. So unlike her not to write her name in a book in an old cabin and the story tells why the change. Yikers!
@@hestheMaster I understand believe me. I have had to set rules with a lot of places I have been also. I misname a lot of the places I show. But also I name the places that are already out there in the public eye on multiple formats of social media. I admire WH for all of her ethics. She is a well rounded human being that any person would be honored to know.
@@mobiltec So I guess a story on the Berman murders will not be coming soon 😉 Have you been to the two cabins Southeast of this location? Looks like they're only accessible from the road to Fred's Cabin.
@@wreckclues No this area right here is pinned but I haven't been there yet.
The Air Force map of area R-2508 Complex , has Warm Springs ( the place she does not name in the video) in Death Valley
and is named on that map (GEO Reference Points) as Nudy Camp! LOL Guess those pilots regularly like to check the place
out. So next time wave to the pilot to show you appreciate their service! Great view from inside the cabin! In the Death Valley Wilderness just east of Inyo National Forest land in the Mt. Whitney Ranger District. Looking to an amazing view of
a valley west near the Waucoba Mountain area. Literally very hard to find just scanning the whole area near there on
googie maps but I did it. Also found three grave markers south of here. With those odd "grave markers" lies a story of a
sad tale that Wonderhussy should (or may) look into. How about that!
Interior view of the Whippoorwill Hilton, a hidden first-come/first-serve rental cabin on the fringe of Death Valley National Park east of Big Pine, California. A rough two-track leads one to this site where one can also visit the nearby Hilltop Cabin. The naming of this cabin may not be official as I was looking at a visitor logbook which was first dated December 28, 1999.
@@gilbertpfaffsr1822 There are some excellent 360 degrees views from a web
site: 360 cities doot neat ( misspelled on purpose) if you put the name of it in the search box. Quite an interesting place to see stuff not covered on googie maps.
@@gilbertpfaffsr1822 360 cities doot neat ( misspelled on purpose) is a place to find many 360 degree
views all over including stuff not on googie earth. Excellent close up mapping and tons of places seen around where she is!
@@hestheMaster LOL my link was deleted.
@@gilbertpfaffsr1822 Look at post above . I tricked it out so you can find it as the comment has been there
for a while now. Dang YT!
LOL. We know what the name is the valley is now that you've told us how much you're not allowed to tell us!
to me the plywood, small dimension lumber, shelf paper, and bed sheet curtains indicate 1960 era. And the shelf paper is so 70s
Dan Haggerty - met him at the Sagebrush Cantina in Calabasas in the late '80s. He was nice enough but wanted me and my friend to go back to his place with his buddy and "party." We opted out of that.
Navy, Star Wars Canyon. Out of Lemoore CA. Panamint Valley, airing down my tires off of Panamint Valley rd. Had an F18 Hornet fly 30 ft over the top of my truck. Watched it bounce up and down on the ground. Freedom.
What a nice meadow. Thanks for bringing us along
Nice place. Thank you for this presentation.
I like knowing the names of the locations you visit. I get a kick out of searching google earth and exploring as if I was there. No one ‘owns’ these places, share them with everyone! 🤘🤘
Back in 1979, my late husband Karl and I were headed into Las Vegas from Death Valley, and a pilot flew low over our car, and I think they were from Edwards Air Force Base. They flew through parts of Death Valley all the time back then. I guess some things don't change much.
You tell them old guys to take a flying hike. I'll tell everyone where this location is at all over social media.
The structure you found that looked like an incinerator might be a corner monument for a mining claim. Perhaps there was even paper work hidden in an old metal coffee can inside the structure...
W H is the acronym for Winners Heist .
Happy to see you back on the dusty trails .
Please be safe, thanks for sharing .
Two thumbs 👍 👍 from 🇩🇰
The Desert Drifter channel is interesting and strangely relaxing...recommended!
Your story line ideas and your willingness to find and explore such interesting places, are charming. The desert and surrounds are your territory. Thanks for sharing.
i think i lived in that valley for 22 years. the night skies are amazing, dark and star-filled; the gloaming is rosy-hued magic. many planes fly low upriver.
Hey Wonderhussy, you are something else. Good episode.
Hi Sarah Jane.
Thank You
for sharing Your video. 👍👍👍
Awesome video Sarah, that's a great spot you picked for your nights stay
THANKS!
Hey WONDER , wondering where you are and thinking ... Plastic literally has a shelf life ! 😎✌❤🤗🐎
Great video hun, your 🥇. ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
GREAT EXPLORE SARAH..SAFE TRAVELS..
Hey angry old dudes, you don't own that land! But I won't mention the name of the valley cuz Wonderhussy said. She kept her word.
(part of a nice view one can see looking south from the slopes of Waucoba Mountain, the highest peak in the Inyo Mountains)
The valley belongs to everyone not just a few.
When I was out there a few weeks ago it was all mine. At least no one else bothered to come out and enjoy their valley while I was there.
Yeah but no one needs to tell anyone else where it is either.
Yeah and you need to know that the general Pubic has no couth or respect for such treasures as that cabin. Just look around the YT vids for your D- self.
Nature's beauty is a gift for all mankind.
Happy Trails to you.
amazingly clean !
On a positive note, that little cook kit you found on the upper shelf is called a "mess kit". Campers and military have used various versions of mess kits for years. They usually include a pan, a plate, a pot, utensils, and various other accoutrements necessary for preparing and consuming meals while in the field. .
The mess kit was the exact one we had as boy scouts in the 1960s.
Yes, I have my mess kit right here. I used it for the boy scouts in the '60s. 😊
Thanks!
👍👍
Wonderhussy ,you did it again 😅, your beyond awesome!!neet episode!!
Great explore...I know the location, sh...sh...
Beautiful place to camp and visualize what happened here back in the day.
Stay safe, rhx Sarah
I always enjoy watching. Stay safe.
Thank you Sarah Wonderhussy
Always look under the table cloth 😊
Cool camp
Super interesting place. Thanks!
Woot Woot! Wonderhussy Wednesday!
Very nice.
In Denver there used to be many backyard incinerators that looked like that brick construction you found. Some still have them and they make cool planters. I didn’t see any other signs of an old cabin or the like. I very much enjoy your videos for many reasons although I don’t get to see all of them. Thanks Sarah and keep up your amazing work
It's a marker. The flagstone lets you know it is not natural and to check it out. The wood on the front is to post a sign or claim information.
Beautiful place ....ohhhh the great solitude! Wow ..super views... good place to stay overnight? Looks ok ! Enjoy the sunrise!
Fabulous view! The night skies would be so beautiful..keep the name of this area a mystery!!
Have you considered getting a drone for local air searches? You might find number 4 not far away. You might also consider buying some camo netting for your SUV if you feel the need not to be so visible. I wonder if those low flying jets are out of China Lake.
Great video.
She owns a small drone but seldom uses it.
@@jazzcatt Thanks
You aren’t allowed to fly drones in National Parks or wilderness areas, so that limits usefulness for WH. That’s one of the reasons why she rarely uses hers.
@@hikerdan She can’t drive in Wilderness area either so it’s not that.
✨️ A very special hussy! 💛
Thanks for another fun adventure stay safe looking forward too more 🎉
Avoid too more's... lol
I know that area! Great you are up there!
Looking very cute!
Thanks! Love your work 🥰
👍👍
I love your videos, reminds me of my sister's and brother in law's 2 cabins in Trinity County, they finally sold, but it was amazing, one was an old miners cabin, the other a newer 2 room one and they actually had electric, but no plumbing, we used an outhouse. it was above Canyon Creek, and beautiful, always loved visiting it, end of an era, my brother in law died in 2015, and my sis in 2018.
Thank You!
I bet the old dude is a HAM radio snob too.
Exactly. there's some uptight a-holes on ham radio. Some of them even used to pick on art Bell and his cats. 😢.
When I was just 20 years old back in the early 1980s I drove a wheat 🌾 harvester/combine way out in the middle of nowhere on the far east end of Santa Maria Valley, California and I got BUZZED by small fighter jets from Vandenburg Airforce Base a couple times!😅
Nice video this is the 2nd new video I have watched from like your work
People who tell you not to mention places are stingy. If you ask me? If they don't hold a deed for the place, they just need to keep their trap shut and stop bullying, Wonderhussy.
@Isittrue-cq2td most people are good people. Sounds like you're projecting.
Good video and ❤😊
Watching now. Love your videos. Just ordered a hat! ❤💙🤍
Hi Sarah from Atlantic Canada 🇨🇦. Love following your journeys in the American southwest. Back in my day I poked around various hidden places in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick lol. 😊 Have a Great Day.
golly! awesome video
Very Cool! 😎
Great idea: Carry gallon-size ziplocs to replace old beat-up ones.
Magical ✨
Living the dream ❤
Very nice❤
Thank you💜💜💫💫🦋🦋
Where's Wonderhussy?? That gal we all love! That's a beautiful area to explore and camp, and I enjoyed this great video! Thanks!
That's real funny, I'm studying the ARRL Ham Radio Manual to get my Technician license. The book is in my lap and I am taking a break to watch your channel.
A+ finding a moment of peace in this overpopulated world🥰
There's plenty of empty land on planet earth.... But people insist on living on top of each other.... It really doesn't have to be that way..

Pretty sure you're right about the little stone chimney's.Made for smelting down copper, gold and silver.Or for cooking down prospective samples of rock in remote locations.Indiginous Style ❤
good stuff
WH I love your videos they’re always very interesting! I would think as long as they’re not trespassing signs it’s free for all. But leave no trace. ❤
I've flown over that a few times.
