Only Sarah can turn a blast locker into a murder mystery. Thats why we love her videos.
Keep em crazy, desert daisy!
Yes the juicy tidbits are making dull interesting .Sarah is a very good writer an producer , thanks for being out there for us.
Kind of gives a new meaning to mexican food 🥘 . LoL 🤢
Your welcome do you go to Wasteland Weekend
You are one of the best story tellers I know of.
AND her makeup on this video is soooo perfect. SHE. IS. A. PRO.
Embellished you mean
Come on guys Sarah works her heart out and she’s only got a couple thousand thumbs up with 17,000 views let’s go!
Like it or not, and believe it or not, Wonderhussy has a lot of young (minor-aged) fans. Awesome to see you include Luke in the video. He seemed very thrilled with the whole adventure. I think you only featured another child once in a prior video, a 13-ish-year old giving you a tour of mining shafts. And yes, these young fans/viewers DO go to school the next day during geology/geography/history classes telling the teacher, "But, Wonderhussy said...!" Obviously, you got parental permission to film them in both cases.
When Bill sr asked his wife where Bill jr was, she may have replied 'oh he's eating Mexican'.
LoL
😂😅🤣
Ha! Got that line from "Eating Roul"
Tacos tonight dear
All those footprints were wandering lost men. Thanks to Sarah for saving them lost boys. What a great adventure ❤
My husband and I were in Joshua tree, my favorite place in the world, May 18th thru 25th. We kept saying it would be so cool to run into you. Didn't know how close we were to meeting you. DARN IT! We love you Sarah Jane. 😍
This is actually how she is. We had dinner with her, her sister and her friends at Villa Anita. Best adventure we’ve had in years.
Missed her by 10 months
How did the young one accept your under arm hair?❤
I met her in person and soaked with her in a hot spring she is an amazing person!! Exactly the same in person as her videos!!
I have run into her after hiking Mt Whitney, she is a major jabber box😅😅😅
Never heard it called the Cannibal Cave. We've always called it the Desert Dungeon but the reason to keep the mentally deficient son locked up in was the same.
Regardless, I hope while you were out that way that you visited Giant Rock which was the rock that Frank Critzer lived under for years. Frank also opened up an airport near Giant Rock for a time. Frank and George Van Tassell were friends and about 20 miles from that dungeon, you will find the Integratron taht George built according to plans given him by aliens from outer space.
Always fun to ride with you, girl!!😁
I have to tell you that watching your videos lifts me out of any sort of glum mood. That was a nice thing you did for that father and son.
Shut the cave door!!! 😂
The dad gets home and googles wonderhussy and starts looking at images
"Go around the 2 big rocks" LOL😆😄
Excellent adventure and storytelling, Sarah Jane. Thank you!
Dam Sarah Jane, I thought that we were going to lose you. You walked right out in front of that car without looking. You are only 5'2", they probably couldnt see you
That scared me, too. I'm glad everything is okay.
5'2 ....???
Dang !
@@receilseymour7930 she said how tall she is in previous video. She might have said 5'1" but I am not sure. Low 5's for sure.
She edited out the part where she changed her britches 😂
She has said she's 5'3".
Perfect, love your story. Believe it or not, Joshua tree is full of a lot of high strangeness. Bigfoot, ufos, dogman, Missing people. Strange and beautiful place
Thanks for another excellent video. I went to Joshua Tree when my son was stationed at The Stumps 6 years ago. I was stationed at MCAS El Toro, 72-76. Semper Fi

Something not often talked about was the cannibalism that went on here in my part of the country, the Adirondack Mountains of NY. If you watch the end of the movie Last of the Mohicans, not only did that massacre really happen (about 30 minutes from where I live between Lake George and Fort Edward), but some of the people that the Wyendot (Huron) captured were roasted and eaten. My own ancestors, the Mohawk, practiced cannibalism as well in various parts of the state. If you read up on something known as the Canadian martyrs, they were seven French Jesuit priests who were killed in various ways by the Mohawk & other Iroquois. One was Jean de Brebeuf who had at least his heart eaten when he was killed in 1649. The most famous was Isaac Jogues, who actually was the first European to name Lake George, but he named it Lac Du Saint Sacrament (Lake of the Blessed Sacrament). When he was captured by the Mohawk the first time in 1642, they gnawed off the ends of his fingers. In 1643 the Mohawk brought Jogues to Port Orange (then Dutch Albany, NY) to trade. After going back to France, Jogues returned to New France (northern NY) and the Mohawk in 1646 captured him again and after an outbreak of disease, they blamed it on Isaac Jogues because they thought he had brought bad magic to their village so they killed him. The Onondaga. another member of the Iroquois confederacy practiced cannibalism. Archeologists still occasionally find evidence at sites here in NY in various parts of the state where they find remains that show evidence of cannibalism, but it was a well known practice by my people at the time. It seemed to die out after the American Revolution and most of it was in the 1600's until after the French & Indian War. I think these things happened more than we will ever know.
( Don't forgit to go to room 8 at the Joshua Tree Inn to say hello to the spirit of Gram Parsons now . . . )
That's why I went to Joshua tree. I adore Gram Parsons. I got to tour the inn and it was awesome.
Nice to see Dad and Son enjoying the desert together. I would like to see more of that.
Wonderhussy scores another hit. Tales of hidden crevices around Joshua Tree. First a stone cabin of a prospector and now a cave under a boulder with a steel door. And the accompanying stories. Could be an Earl Stanley Gardner novel. Maybe too racy for "Perry Mason "on radio or TV in the 50s ( at least the cannibal son tale ). It was good of you to lead this little flock across the desert, Sarah. Keep the magic coming our way
❤😎
Excellent research. My dad and his friend met Bill Keys at the Desert Queen in the 50’s, and Bill told the story about how his wife had contacted Erle Stanley Gardner, who had actually been Keys guest at the desert ranch.
Erle Stanley Gardner, a Lawyer, author of Perry Mason, and Author for ‘Argosy’ magazine at the time, wrote a serial called ‘Court of Last Resort’ where he investigated cases he deemed wrongly accused, and went to work on Keys case, resulting in his release and eventual full exoneration.
Conspicuously absent from my dads recount of this story was any mention of cannibalism .. 😉 Nice job on the story.
Not to mention it's pretty impractical to put a padlock and bolt on the INSIDE.... How would you lock it? The practice of storing dynamite and food together was very common back then. Almost like a big refrigerator.
I was there almost exactly a year ago and we had a ball on a beautiful day. Just looking at the formations themselves is fantastic, and then it all changes colors/earth tones when clouds pass over and it becomes mesmerising. Take a picnic and plenty of water. Highly recommended.
Very cool!! 🏜️ Beautiful place.. Been hiking, exploring, & even rock climbing there before.. & Explored another cave there.. Very mysterious place.. heard many strange paranormal accounts about that location, even by family members.. missing cases, too.. "boulder field" indeed!! 😎 Enjoy the Day!! Divine Angelic Safeguarding, & Many Abundant, Bountiful Blessings, ALL!! 😻🙇🏻♀️🙏🏼🕊️👼🏻🌤️🌞
Another good one . Historians will refer to your UA-cam channel and your shows for references in the future like 500 years from now because of the extensive Southwestern info ! Greetings from south east Alabama USA ❤️☮️
So cool 😎 I went to Joshua Tree many moons ago, wish I had known about this cave 😮❤
COOL 😎 find Wonderhussy!😮 SEVEN kids !😮
Yet another GREAT video Wonderhussy!! Thank you for sharing! Desert Rat Bill-So Cal. looking forward to your next adventure.
I am really warming up to Vic being the faithful companion! That is close as one can get to our WH! LOL.
You are the best story teller! Loved this adventure and the fact you left the "boys" in the dust!
A+ what a great father reminds me of my Dad whenever we cruised we got out and looked at Historical Markers,
Love your wild theories and stories! Whom else can make an interesting adventure out of a hole in the ground!
That is pretty interesting
I was born in the Fifties, & we had plenty of modern conveniences. There were asylums back in the day.
We need more asylums. There are some crazy folk running around today.
Used to be lots of mental institutions back in the fifties. Most have been closed and the patients returned to the streets. Mostly get put in jail instead of getting the help that they need.😢😢😢
Howdy Sara! Hope you are having a awesome Day!!
Maybe you should write a book of wild tales about some of the places you visit. Throw in some actual photos and get it illustrated by local artists with scenes from your stories. I think it would be a best seller. Autograph a few copies.
In 1970 I was visiting a friend in Yellowstone National Park. That person said the Park Rangers came across body parts in a stream. They assumed a bear had attacked a person. After more investigation the Rangers found that a camper had killed another one and was eating the body parts. I think the story is true but had trouble finding anything about it.
Around 605, I saw a face on one of the rocks behind you!
Joshua tree is full of rock shape faces and other awesome figures.
Good times, good times. Great adventure WH and friends! Thanks for taking us along. I don't know if I would ever find it!
Girl, you have a good time no matter where you are. Enjoy your videos.
I love in 29 Joshua tree and the whole area is so beautiful I've been here since 1978 changed a lot but still so beautiful peaceful place
Let no man ever doubt your navigational skills, when the men give up YOU found the SR-71 and YOU found the Cannibal Cave. Sarah you are the Magellian of the desert, or the Tonto, take your pick Kimosabe (literal meaning "she who looks out" or "trusty scout")! Well done.
Cheese Louise " you walked right out in front of that car "! What the hell Sarah!
Two big rocks... that's like saying it is just down the beach past the 2 mounds of sand.
That's a great story about Bill Keys my theory is it was probably just a dynamite bunker. But I like the cannibal theory, I'm just the kind of person who always take the X-Files defense, I want to believe. 😮 I just thought of another theory, maybe Bill locked up aliens, I feel bad for the aliens getting lost in the cosmic neighborhood and landing on earth and getting locked up in a rock bunker. Oh well, there I go letting my mind, run away. I'll let the incomparable Wonderhussy take over story time. 😊 It was also hilarious that you found the bunker long before Vic and the others, hopefully Vic learned to stick with WH and he'll never go wrong.
My FAVORITE Hussy ❤️
Even as dynamite storage it would be interesting because it means there is a cool mine somewhere near, possibly worth exploring.
Thanks, Sarah for another great adventure and story!
Wow gee, Sarah thats your creepiest story ever. Still digging your chilly. Keep it up sweet lady.
Another geat storytelling! From the looks of the steel door, properly welded and still working hinges, it may have been both a storage bunker built before prison AND used later to lock up the crazy son.
Awe -- sharing and kind and an open hearted. Because of a truly great woman some lucky folks were party to such a memorable adventure! Recorded for ever. Sweet Sarah! ThanX!
This is the best education the younger will get throughout his formal education years. That's how much faith I have in the education system.
Hi Sarah loved this video
Thanks for sharing with us, Sara. Beautiful place here. Would love to visit it someday. Several people over time have vanished from this park never to be seen again. One pretty recent.

Thanks for the story, Sarah! God bless you

Thanks again Wonderhussy! That was awesome.
Vic hit the jackpot this time🎉
You are the pick of the litter on utube.
A True Professional.
Thank you for sharing this video, there are so many secret treasures in Joshua Tree, and after a lot of research I've hiked them all! I thought this certain location was for the settlers to store their dynamite. I absolutely love the history about this park!
😊 yes , that was Fun ! !
thanx Wonderhussy ; another Fun & Exciting Adventure 😮🎉
Keep up your Good work doing the excellent adventures with History , Mystery , and purty scenery ❤
... yes , it gave me a Start to see you walked out in traffic , but I surmised it was a trick of the camera and angles
That was cool you had strangers in your video. Might be something to think about again.
Enjoyed it as usual Sarah J. Regards from Chester UK.
If you ever get the chance travel Baja 1 to the Catavina Boulder field half way across the peninsula!
Nice vid wh
Actually Looks Like A Well Made Door , Nice Work........Love The Manson Reference , You ALWAYS Make May Day , Your Stories Are EPIC !!!!!!! XXOO V
Very cool I love climbing thows rocks.
Loved your entourage, enjoyed the video
My little brother and I used to visit Joshua Tree back in late 60's was magic.
Another fabulous adventure!!
Another great video. You do a fabulous job.
Loved the Video.
When I was in college we would go to Joshua Tree and we would end up in that cave and smoke a couple of bowls. That cave has a good history with my friends. Many an insane person has partied in that cave.
Not all that far from Giant Rock and all the purported weird goings on around there. Maybe Sarah will visit that place one day. She's a raconteur to be reckoned with, that's for sure. Too bad the father and son team didn't trust her formidable guide skills. Fun adventure, as usual.
This was an excellent search for the mystery cave...more importantly Sarah gave us the story of Bill Keyes and how it evolved .
Joshua Tree is a great place to hike and explore especially the old Keys Ranch.
Thx Sarah, canera guy and the dad and son.
As Always Awesome
Great story(telling) Wonderhussy!
At first I thought you uploaded the first trek you did with Vic here as the start looked pretty much the same :-)
Awesome Stories!
A nice break from the tragedy that is our daily bread , thanks Sarah for your wonderful adventures.
Awesome video Sarah Jane
Awesome story , I like the insane son story. Thx so much!
I would *ALWAYS* trust directions from Wonderhussy!!
Awesome video!!!
i paused your video at 15o when i came back and looked at the screen i was hurled back in time to a lost in space scene from the past wow im sure that many a space show was filmed at that exact spot
Great story.
Darn it...its Wednesday and another Wonderhussy adventure I almost missed! Thanks Sarah.
It would've been funny if you came across the singing bush 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great video! As always...
Thank You
Thanks for sharing…!
I wish you would tell the story of Graham Parson at the Joshua Tree park And how is road manager cremated him there😮😂
You are an excellent story teller.
Always staying on course. As with your search for the A-12 crash site with that little sheet steel silhoutte. That is cannabis cave.
Cool spot 🏜️…
Great Album ….✊🏼
Hi! Wonder person. Cool cave. Don't lock yourself in there. Stay out of the swamp holes. I might see you in Pahrump again someday. Hope so. I went to Tacopa on a hike to the obsidian deposits and the volcano the day of the eclipse. That was cool. bye..........
BRAVO BRAVO really well executed and delivered. LOVED IT! you should go to Ivin's UT and visit that obsessed lady's $5 million mansion where they stored those kids!
I’d follow you no matter what, those who wonder are never lost!❤👍
That was really cool!!
Great video today love the cave i like the story of the crazy son
