- Welcome to Wonderhussy Adventure #798
Date of adventure: 5/28/24
Camping in the middle of nowhere, trying to plan my summer travels...but then my battery banks run out of juice, so I have to go into town and get a room. So I also poke around the ridiculously quaint and charming little town of Bridgeport, and stay at a very cute little motel that I wholeheartedly recommend!

I would like to chime in on a couple aspects of Sarah's adventures. And those would be her storytelling skills and her pictures, whereas her every image is clear and tells a story But, it is her editing skills which are absolutely impressive. The most impressive. As good, or better than whatever is is available on TV and cable. Her editing skills are on par with PBS. My opinion is PBS is the benchmark of storytelling.
I am semi-retired after over 40 years writing, hosting, directing, producing and editing video. She produces videos of the highest quality. Her B-roll, or cutaways - images that augment her story - moves the narrative along beautifully. If I was looking for a video partner to assist in every aspect of video, I would scoop her up faster than a pistachios ice cream cone. I could lay on more compliments about her obvious skills, but just wanted to say what an incredible talent she possesses. Not least to mention her honesty and openness. I love her beautiful soul. If I were 30-40 years younger, I would be sending her love letters daily. I'm not smitten (well, kinda), just duly impressed.
Think about it: she travels to the location, she runs the camera and the narrative (with perfect sound even when windy), she shoots with the light source behind her, she does voiceovers, she edits the show, and uploads it. All by herself. And I'll bet when she dials in a difficult edit and it comes out perfectly, she laughs crazily and pats herself on the back. I did.
Oh and she properly calls the area The Sierra, not The Sierras.
I hoist my morning coffee to you, Sarah Jane!
TC
I just said basically the same.. her editing is 🔥 keeps you entertained through the whole thing..and her shots are spectacular
The stuff from about 6 or 7 years ago will show you how far she has come in filming things, they were pretty rough footage, LOL. got me slap dizzy a few times.
Your comment should be pinned. Meaning you hit the nail right on the head sir. Too bad she is self employed. She deserves a raise.
@@hestheMaster Thank you for keeping your comment upbeat! For starters, she could use a lot more viewers. Too many people don't know what they're missing.
TC
@@Feribrat99 Yep, she made you slap dizzy but you continued, like me, watching for nearly a decade. That's talent, my friend!
The yellow flower is called Wooly Mule's Ears.
Mules ear, a good source of Arnica
Thanks!
yes, that's it exactly, not lamb's ears and not mullein
@@robertalcorn9591 arnica is a genus of perennial, herbaceous plants in the sunflower family which is Asteraceae
@@treavey1
It does however have the medicinal, and apothecarian properties of mullein.
Lambs ear. Natures toilet paper. If you know, you know. LOL
I was going to mention the same thing, but didn't know how to phrase it.
Is it the same as Mullein?
AKA woolly Mullen
Lambs ear rubbed on the skin Counteracts the sting of Stinging netle And always grows in proximity of it...
Good to know ha ha!
WH-the female version of Seinfeld-a show about nothing! Best show on UA-cam!
Her shots are fantastic though.... She goes places people don't really go tthe scenery up there is just spectacular at the end of May with snow still in the mountains.....down where I live, we have already reached 100F with 80 percent humidity.😱
@@lorrie5881 I totaly respect the effort WH puts into these videos. She's a legend in my book!
@@tictacjak5247 I second that.
Your mom raised a great lady
Two great ladies and they both live together at the Wonderhussy World Headquarters east of Death Valley!
That’s so sweet of you to help your mom
As a veteran. Let me just say. Honor Memorial Day as you wish. That's the best way to honor the sacrifice of the Fallen. They sacrificed everything so that we have the freedoms to make that decision. Honestly everyone that I knew that never came home. Would be happy to know that people are wishing others Happy Memorial Day and celebrating.
Exactly my thoughts!
Beautifully said, and Thank You for your service. 🥰❤❤❤
@terrimorgan92 Thank you very much and it was my honor to serve.
As a Veteran, I would wish people honor the flag by not cutting it up and wearing it as a uniform or prop.
@@ponchozorch4981 I'm not saying that doesn't happen but people cutting up a flag for clothing is pretty rare.
It's great to see you again, Wonder Hussy! I'm an old lady now however I can always live life through your wonderful trips through California & Nevada. ❤
Just move Mom to Bridgeport and call it a day. It sounds like she would be very popular there and you could go to Travertine Hot Springs whenever you visit.
This Gal is a great " stress reliever " , so much nicer to hear her voice than media ! all day long too
screaming news or the fake news
@@goober9983 More like it's " Propaganda brain feed " , out of Manhattan
I've been a fan for years. I've been to the Eastern Sierras many times but I'm limited these days, cant drive long distances so much.
I love the Bridgeport area, especially the hot springs.
I love living vicariously through your great clips.
Thank you so much for your geeat show Sarah Jane, keep on truckin' keep on soakin' ❤️❤️❤️
Oh, how I long for a "Like" from the "Wonderous One"!
She very rarely responds to comments.. 13 hrs to edit videos is pretty intense.. she does a fantastic job though
@@lorrie5881 A "like" only takes a click of the mouse!😃🤩
You need more solar and batteries. Enjoy the ride and the blessing of still being able to be with your mom! You will know what to do and we will be along for the ride.
Ditto, bolt a solar panel on that roof rack, and a cheap solar controller and you will be in business.
I'll bet there's a lot of people that hasn't been to Idaho. I want you to be my guide! We love you, Wonderhussy! 🚙🚙
I have
Wonder Hussy’s summer of fux.
I live in Idaho. And it was a low profile state, but not anymore. The natives are fighting of the influx of out of starters and namely the developers that are brought in by our so called leaders. We have a huge inventory of the ugliest apartment buildings and they want to build more. Unfortunately it looks like we are becoming another Portland. Central, North Idaho and the Desert is my favorite, are the best part of Idaho.
Life has a way of letting you know that the time has come to give your love and patience to your Mom. You’re a good person, Sarah.
Mamas are the best. Without them none of us would be here. Some are better than others. Wonder Hussy's Mom must be an extra special woman to have raised Sara Jane. The results were fantastic. Lost my parents way too early. Glad Sara's Mom is still in her life.
We really appreciate your excellent editing skills, so word of encouragement, awesome videos!
Howdy Sarah! Stay safe young lady.. Thanks for sharing and taking us along!
Wonderhussy is the best youtube personality. She is a master conversationalist bringing all of us into her world of nature and travel. My favorite channel.
Enjoy your time with your mother. My mom passed 2 months ago. No matter how old she was it was too soon. I miss her daily.
Yeah we used to call those mules ears when I lived in Carson valley. So I concur with the other commenter
You will never regret helping a parent while you can. Time is finite even if it is still decades.
Everything happens for a reason. You are a good daughter. And a better vlogger!
I'm as cheap as you are but you know you gotta get it uploaded. Good luck!
Dang that pesky internet. Thanks for sharing your time with us!🇺🇸
Love seeing your videos. My wife and I dreamed of living that life but due to health issues we can't so now I live vicariously through you
good to have a happy place
im happy
everyone needs to work atleast your working for yourself
You are lucky to still have your mother. Take care of her and appreciate her as much as you can!
Wonderhussy, you've always impressed me as being flexible when it's required. Glad you can help your Mom. Beautiful campsite. Love the aspen grove. Having to pull up stakes and go to town let you meet new people and dogs. Plus you got your favorite carne asada fries. Win,win,win. Keep doing you and we'll follow. Stay well Sarah ❤❤❤
Bridgeport would be a great place for your mom. You'd only be about 4 hours away. It doesn't really get that hot in the summer there. I used to run the 395 corridor all the time, delivering high end hardwood flooring from the Reno NV area in the early 2000s. I'm very fond of Bridgeport. It's a beautiful place...
I think she should consider Lone Pine. Lone Pine is on the edge of Death Valley maybe 2 1/2 hours from where Sarah lives. Great little town in the shadow of Mount Whitney. might have to do her shopping in Bishop though and also Doctor.
My friend and I stayed at the Bodie hotel last week The rooms do have bathrooms.
Go north -- sunrise 5:16am, sunset 9pm where I am. That's a lot of solar charging.
Have a memorable Memorial Day.
Are you living in the past ..?
Yes. It's what we old folks do. You see, a long, long time ago, we honored our holidays on the original days they began, instead of the days that were marked for three day weekends by congressional decree in 1971. Memorial Day was always May 30th, not "the last Monday in May" when I was growing up.
You are a answet to prayers for me and I am so happy to have you and your show in my life, and you have lifted up my heart so much. I thank you so much. Please be blessed and safe.
You have so much fun by yourself. I ride the trail alone too Pilgrim. Don't really need anyone to enjoy nature's beauty. Good episode Hussy.
Huell Howser says : "YOU GO GIRL" !!!!
No no no. It's Mules ear (Wyethia). Everywhere up there. @avnostiga
"The Hills are Alive"
... beautiful spot. 👍👍
I stayed at that same motel a few years ago, I was in that front corner room on the left of your closing shot. I was shocked when I checked in and they handed me an actual key for the door instead of one of those magnetic cards. A great place to spend the nite and staff was very nice and helpful.
Bridgeport has a great 4th of July festival and fireworks show
I loved this video, as always. Yes, very sweet to help your mom. I'm in the same sort of move. Thankfully my son, family is helpful.
Love your work.
Shara the yellow flowers you were looking at are called Balsamroot. They grow all over the place up here in the eastern Cascade mountains in Washington. Ours were pretty much gone by Memorial Day this year.
We love that part of California thanks for sharing.
I know I say this all the time, but these videos are the MOST interesting on UA-cam. Just fascinating. I'm based on the east coast but I have some work projects coming up out West. Can't wait to visit some of these places. Thanks WH!
I love you Sarah, thank you!
I know exactly where that is. I love Bridgeport. The old dam for the electric generator is down by them aspen’s.
My dad is buried at the Bridgeport Cemetery up on the hill. He's buried next to his wife Grace. She owned the Bridgeport motel and my dad helped her run it. My Dad is buried next to Mr Berryessa along with his wife Grace
I was in Bridgeport a few weeks ago and stayed at the Virginia Creek Settlement, just a few miles out of town and close to the turnoff to Bodie. Prices for rooms were reasonable and had strong WiFi signal. The onsite restaurant had good food. Gas firepits and comfy chairs right next to the creek. Nice place.
Handy holiday guide: Armed Forces Day celebrates those currently serving, Memorial Day is for remembering those that gave their life in the armed forces, and Veteran's Day is to acknowledge those that served in the armed forces.
That guy had a Berts shirt on, big motorcycle shop in Covina CA.
Go to the Midwest to hear the 17 year cicadas/locusts. The sound is like a spaceship from Mars.
I watched the Bagdad Cafe movie last night.......It is really cold you helped get a new roof for those folks ! ..........I mean you helped preserve a piece of history.
Hi Huss,new fan alert ⚠️
Been binging up on you all day.Great vids,by a great lady.
Glad you're enjoying my beloved eastern High Sierras. Lived in Bishop for 20 years Mammoth for 25.
You rock 🪨
And once again, Sarah is walking through the scrub in flip flops. Not a good thing to do. But hey. she just does her thing and every one of her videos are a joy to watch and a pleasure to listen her prat on.
Your skin is looking fantastic!! Keep doing what you’re doing. ❤️🔥😍🥰😎
I love Bridgeport! I could just live there in the Summer/fall..and go down to DV in the winter... I'll bet the fall colors up there are fantastic!... People so underestimate California...one of THE most beautiful states in America....
Thanks Sarah.Enjoyed the Wednesday video about the mules.Beutiful area you re at.Thanks!
yes, great editing and insight. A caring yet thoughtful pro. Rare!+
Just a quick note. Jackery batteries are pretty hard to charge in a day to day way as a car camper unless you charge as you drive. Bluetti makes better solar batteries for traveling. Cheers!
Blue sky...so nice.
I agree. That site is great! Camped there for the 1st time last year....lol
Wildflower is Northern Mule’s Ear, Wyethia amplexicaulis. Love them!
I reckon those plants your walking through..have medicinal and or nutritional possibilities
Use your engine & alternator to supplement your solar. Had to do that for my House Battery at Paris, TX solar eclipse with its persistent rain. BTW you are not “cheap” - you are “CAREFUL”.
Those plants look like Mullen, if it is it's very medicinal
I live in the middle of the Arizona desert. I also had long hair .
I always kept it braided which keeps it a lot cleaner and more manageable. I do understand about needing to wash your hair because of oil. My hair was super thick and down to my waist. But keeping it in a braid kept it under control and a lot cleaner on camping trips in my desert.
I love your videos and storytelling skills!
I spent the last 10 years of their lives taking care of my parents, when I was at my day job I had a home health care company taking care of them. If I ever get to a point where I am as incapable as they were, well, there is always the self-directed early exit.
I know what I'm saying when i say that is a beautiful American Flag♥️
Another AWSOME video Wonderhussy :):):):) No Pressure though LOL
Hi Sarah thanks for 2 videos. Good to hang out with you
Its called Buckeye Creek been there 50 times lol. Thanks for sharing.
Hi WONDERHUSSY! I wish I could have some of that carne asada fries and you are a wonderful daughter to look after your MOM, she taught you RIGHT because you are a VERY INTELIGENT WOMAN! LOVE YOU AND YOUR VIDEOS :)
Good to hear you're looking out for your mom. Maybe she should move to Bridgeport--great little town.
Thanks for sharing these videos!
I laughed about the person seeing you from the other ridge
Oh wow! Missed this one.
Have you ever considered staying at a RV park instead of a hotel. Many have showers, pools, bath houses, electricity, and wifi. All for about half the price of a hotel. You sleep in the truck all the time. That's just like an RV
too peopley even i knew that lol
Sage, lots of it. Bridgeport to Carson City, IMHO, God's Country. Some of the film, Out Of the Past (1947), starring Kirk Douglas, Robert Mitchum and Jane Greer, was filmed in and around Bridgeport! :)
I admit I haven't searched for any other Bridgeport videos on your channel...but I was hoping you stopped in at Sierra Strange. That shop would be right up your alley! Freaking cool place!
Bridgeport has excellent fishing areas with brown trout and rainbows. You fish and walk up the creeks and smell the nature all around you. Hugs from Santa Barbara Beautiful Sarah. 🤗😘🍷🌹😎
Just 1:30 in we see Wyethia mollis. Has a wide soft leaf like a lambs ear or a mule's ear as it is commonly known. She
really appreciates this area in particular coming from 24 years of living in the desert southwest. This is quite the quandry
for her as she has to do both her video explorations and help mom out at the same time. That is the toughest part of
being a reliable UA-camr. As for a nice affordable home look around northeast of Fresno, CA. A good choice to look
around at but won't say the actual town's name here. ;) But hey, Bridgeport is awesome too. But boy howdy it gets cold
in Winter, yikes! I'm very sure you will make a more comprehensive video of Bridgeport in the future.
El Chapin Co Springs Co. Asada fries are my favorite pretty good the meat is callicrate awesome !
The G5 4Runner has a 400-watt 120v plug. You can idle the engine to recharge batteries and power the Starlink
Thank you for taking us to Bridgeport again. It was nice to see you enjoying the great outdoors. Your fries looked amazing and filling. Best wishes to you and mom! Be sure to keep us updated on mom’s move. Stay safe and awesome! 😀🧧
if anyone in the world wants to know what a free spirit looks like🤷 they just need to watch you!💐💐💐
I can relate to your mom having to leave a place she must truly love, and move to somewhere that it’s easier to age. I spent 25 years at 9,000 ft in the Colorado Rockies but left full time living at close to 70 to move to “town”. My heart and soul was there, but now I’m closer to children, grandchildren and now even great grandchildren. This is just her new chapter in a lifetime of chapters 💕
There was a bakery in Bridgeport, so popular they would sell out within a few hours. My family knew of it on their first visit to the Sierras because of friends who visited Bridgeport in the past. We would spend $15 (equivalent to $80 now). The last time I was there was in the 70s. To me much better than Schat's (in Bishop and then Mammoth Lakes).
💕💕💕💕💕💕looking very lovely
i never had to worry about dead phone batterys🤷🤷 untill i started watching you😂😂 woman you wipe out my phone battery😫😫
Beautiful area
I love your office. Gotta have your own bathroom. Money is no object! I love Bridgeport. The turn-off for twin lakes and great fishing is right there. ❤
Good luck finding a new home for your mom. Idaho will be there later too.
That's cowboy's toilet paper😅
Great video Wunderhussy! I love the Eastern Sierras and hope to get up there and do some Tenkara fishing for the first time. Love, love, love to mountain bike down Mammoth Mountain while I’m up there too. Get a 12 volt plug that goes in the cigarette lighter plug and with the engine running while driving or even sitting still you can charge your battery in a pinch. You might have gotten one with your Jackery.
Take us along on the journey of when you help your mother and that will be fun to watch you always make everything interesting and funny. I’m sure there be a lot of singing a lot of jokes, and that’s just the old retired guy‘s opinion👍👨🏻🦳👍
Gotta agree.. the carne asada fries from there are amazing ! 😊
The area around Bridgeport is gorgeous. There's a dirt road that leaves Bodie (Bodie-Masonis Rd) and heads north. Make a left turn onto Aurora Canyon Rd and end up in Bridgeport. Lots of spots on that route to camp.
You are amazing .love ya wonderhussry
Love this video so much! We will definitely check out Bridgeport, CA. Can't wait to try Asada fries. YUM!
Love that you're helping your Mom. Mine is in hospice and has not much time left. Moms are special and deserve respect and love. You keep things so real and relatable. Thank you.
so good to see you frolicing and enjoying the gem Wonderhussy!
