- Welcome to Wonderhussy Adventure #377
Date of adventure: 10/11/19
Exploring an abandoned Death Valley mining camp where a Basque "single blanket jackass prospector" named Pete Aguereberry lived and worked a claim for 40 years! This little camp gave me the idea to remake an updated version Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, only set in Death Valley -- starring a certain nosy CZcamsr ;-)

By the 21 bar grill it is a 1948 Buick Roadmaster Sedanette slat back. High class auto.
The 1947 Roadmaster also has 21 bars, how can you tell if it's a '47 or '48?
Does it mattef???
Wonderhussy, you make a very interesting, articulate, and thorough living history teacher!!
Holy cannoli, it's a Nash alright. The back seat turned in to a bed, single or double. Fathers of teenaged girls feared these cars!
That Coleman range worked exactly like a Coleman camp stove. The liquid fuel flowed into a tube called the generator that went through the flame which heated it to boiling thus turning it into gas which was then burned.
Coolest opening music ever! Pete Aguereberry was a tough hombre, he got introduced to the Death Valley by almost dying in it. And he worked his mine nearly all by himself until his health got worse. What a cool place
THE OLD BUICK AND CABINS HAVE SURE DETERIORATED SINCE I WAS THERE OVER 40 YEARS AGO!!!!!
INTERESTING VIDEO 👏👏👏👏👏
Straight 8s were tough,And that ol car had a big hitch in the back for haulin stuff around,Great video!
I think that hitch was its downfall. My bet is it was towing a heavy load out there when it overheated and either blew the head gasket or cracked the head.
Love where your imagination goes to the adult twist on things. Your adventurous spirit is fantastic.
Great explore Wonderhussy, love the snow white remake idea, As a 4ft 9inch chick I guess I could play a dwarf if I let my lady mustash grow a lil bit if not can I be a tumbleweed? haha love exploring with you Sarah
Vag fest, leave them sausages behind & do all female dwarfs.
Should have continued up the dirt road to Aguereberry Point. 6-1/2 miles of road constructed by himself to a promontory point, where you can see the highest(Mt Whitney) and lowest(Badwater) spots in the contiguous USA. Mt Charleston also..It is really a cool place.
Hey Wonderhussy, just subscribed to your excellent video that you have shared with the rest of us out here. Wonderful history of the Aguereberry Abandoned Death Valley Mine Camp. Amazing what the old timers used to do out there in the middle of nowhere. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos. Thank you again for sharing your videos. Respectfully, dd
Approaching 100,000 subs. Sarah if your channel gets any bigger, you are going to have to get a TV show LoL. I could see you as a TV star. Love your videos ❤️.
Thanks Sarah..great info..great video, love seeing all the old appliances..kind of a sad story tho...you r beautiful, make-up or not✌❤😊
I loved this video. Thank you, Sarah, for all the energy, expense, the time you put into your videos.
Awesome 👍👍👍👍 Wonderhussy the car is 1948 Buick in the video#377 I have a Buick 2008 Lucerne CXS cool 😎 car great video your doing good job on the video and I enjoy it 👍👍👍👍
Awesome adventure there wonder sweetie!!!! I can't believe there's so many abandon places , awesome Job your doing
Always have to see the rusted out cars.
One of your best videos
I love your imaginative narratives, keep them up!
Thank you for taking us for a tour of this mining operation! Wishing you another great adventure and stay safe on the adventures!🧧😁🌺
straight 8 engine , smooth as they come .
6 = 8 Twin H Power! The wreck isn’t a Hudson, they had big straight 6’s. But straight 8’s can be smooth like butta. I had a Packard straight 8 once and can attest to that. This car looks like a GM product, maybe a Buick or Caddy.
is smoother than an inline 6, but smooth as they come is the Caddy v16 of the 30s
By the 21 bar grill it is a 1948 Buick Roadmaster Sedanette slat back. High class auto.
I've been to Aguereberry point and the view down into Death Valley was impressive. I wish I had known about the parts that you visited.
My wife and I went up to Aguereberry Point to see the sun rise on a new year January 1 2001! Fantastic!! But colder then a witch’s thorax!!
That's remarkably preserved. Nice video Wonderhussy.
.....Like your smile.....Love your style.....Glad that you could chat a while.....!!
Hello well in 2019 was on a 6 month retirement/ vac and 5 states trip June thru Nov and i'am starting to watch this video. I was here spent about 3 hours looked at the tunnel and ming area far out when I came in I came from main road in about 3 miles seen the cabins first had a great time there is a lot more there from what I found cjd wash state thank you wonder Hussey 😁🇺🇸 GREAT video thanks again 😁
Amazing the modern conveniences in that remote desert cabin.
@eclemensen Wondering same thing. Probably generator unless other settlements nearby. Seems awfully remote.
The car that you found is a 1948 Buick 2 door sedan. I learned to drive in San Francisco in a 1948 4 door sedan straight eight and a three speed manual on the column in the 60's. I passed my DMV test in Los Gatos in a 55 Chevrolet with a manual 3 speed and the examiner could not believe how well I drove it on the hills.
If you ever get a chance to go to Northern Spain, check out the Basque History in Pampolna where they run the bulls. Fascinating place.
And a large percentage of Basques have Rh negative blood types. A very rare type!
Nice job ! Great travels
So much has been destroyed or is missing since I was last there 15 years ago. It's a dirty shame what people do to our historical places. By the way the name is pronounced 'Ack-a-berry'...
Thanks for posting these. Now I know great places off the beaten path!
Careful. The old rugs had asbestos in them linoleum too.
You haven't missed a beat kid. Keep it up. Oh and I almost forgot: THANKS!!
Great video Sarah
Wish I had a set of those Buick tail lights...Bet the mine was worked till 50's.
Another History Lesson. Great job! Stay Safe!
Great Wonderhussy Wednesday!
There is a book about Pete; you can get it at the Death Valley NP Visitor Center at Furnace Creek. He was murdered at the Saline Valley Hot Springs. Someone hit him over the head and took his wallet. He is buried in Lone Pine at the Mt. Whitney Cemetery. The book is a good read. Shorty Harris is buried along West Side Road.
Thats even mote crazy
Very interesting video.
That car looks like a Hudson.
there are basque restaurants in Bakersfield. my uncle would take me to them from his home in rosamond
Low house to save heat, and be cooler ..🍾😁😁😁😎🐕
Very cool video WH. I read Pete's book. He originally discovered the claim, but Shorty had the bigger mouth.
I have a question.... how did Pete get enough water to keep the water heater charged, and how’d he get electricity to run the camp? Wonderhussy, say hi to Larry, help each other, and you guys stay awesome.
I wondered the same-it must have been well watered when the mine was working-since that tree was able to survive. I think we entered a new drought cycle in the SW around 1970-which means that Death Valley is about to get evendryer.
“Sausage Fest”. Wonderhussy, is that what I heard? Lol. It is too bad people have to trash things.
Yes she did say "sausage fest" Taz! She's so quick and funny and entertaining. I'm such a fan of hers☺
William Keith : I do like her stories. I believe she had participated in our Portland, Oregon nudie bike ride one year.
You guys are a bunch of nerds get over it.
lots of snow here in buffalo ny looks nice there
T've got a great trip for you Underwater at the Boone terre mine ing complex In Boone teere ,mo. very clear water with guide tours. It was an an old abandon lead mini with aii of the mining equipment still preserverd under water very cool to spend the day. hope you can come Rick Sitzes
also boat tours
That car is a 1942 Buick Sedanette Fastback. At first I thought it was a 1941, but they changed the grille in '42 and then didn't produce anymore cars until after the war.
Thanks for the video. I imagine their accommodations we're a lot rougher in the beginning. I wonder where they got the water which would definitely be needed.
Idaho Rider --- . . . and what made the electricity that powered the refrigerators? Were they used as ice boxes, rather? Imagine the long haul, then, to drag blocks of ice back. And did they have septic tanks? No outhouses, so they must not have had toilets just for impressing visiting relatives. (as if)
love your imagination.
It’s a miracle! Holy krycks😆
Just Holy Wow.
I think your movie would be a crack up 👍 I'm kind of surprised you never filmed Scottys castle. A very sad/funny story about the real owners wife and how she died.
Just saying. 💜
The refrigerators may have been gas powered. Versions are still made for camper trailers and such to this day. Fascinating story about Aguereberry...and fun idea regarding doing
a Snow White type film at the place(8-). Great video all around. Thanks, Angel Face(8-)
What has to be from 1933 to 1954 Richie when they built the Pontiac straight 8 you have to be an old buzzard like me to know that but it's definitely cool no matter how tore up it is
Concerning your comment about him taking a shower there every morning, it is my guess that miners took their showers in the evening after their day of dirty work.
The solitude. No nagging wives around complaining. Perfect. Appears to be a late 40's early 50's Buick
You should write stories you have a vivid imagination, at least your comments leave vivid thoughts. Snow whites dingleberry activity is her own business!. Love your videos you are awesome.
The Snowhussy! Shirtless miners show up and smell something good cooking! 😎
Love your adventures and narratives. I wonder if the refrigerators were propane powered since I doubt there was electricity out there.
I would walk around on my knees to be a dwarf for you, LOL
Awesome.....I think that car was a Packard. Its huge. ..lol
Amazing as usual. Short Attention span, pretty sure i got it.
Appreciate your historical documentaries, with your twist! I'm sure you will have dwarf auditions!
The mtn to the south if the sun is shining just right, looks like shining Alum foil.. been there done that. And tele peak trail is good too.
Thank you Sarah,OH THANK YOU FOR THE SHOTS OF THE BLUE SKY!!!!!!!!!...Great job on another WH video...The car,Nash? You Rock..Safe Travels stay well
Great video Sara. I really hate vandals...
😅😮 yeah , 7 dwarves ...
something about , " Getting up Grumpy ..." lol 😅😊
" Snow White refused us any favors ..."
There is a TV serise called "Once upon a Time" where all the classic fairytale charcters are trapped in time in a modern small town called Storybrook with no memory of who or what they really are. Iy ran from 2011 to 2018..
ROCHESTER had sheep and basque, down the hill toward the road union
Ville area. Plenty of sheep, and one black sheep surrounded by white sheep.
that's an old buick from the late 1940's and its awesome.
At today's gold price of $1478.00 per ounce that would be $12,932,500 worth of gold! $323,312 per year for 40 years! Not bad.
rusted hulk was an old Buick. Take note of the 'straight eight' engine!!! Sara, the pronounciation is "aga-berry".. There is a viewing point high up in the mountains named after him..
Great job showing theses interesting places. Really improved since some of the earlier videos I binge watched but those were good too. Listening to the talk about smoking made me grab an 1/8th at local Boston dispensary. I haven’t smoked it much since the 70’s/80’s. $48 and 22% sales tax. The stuff still isn’t my favorite. I just ate about 8lbs of peanut M&M’s and my stomach is killing me. I’ll stick with Xanax and Klonopin to mellow out.
just watched this then the Bask one and from there to the one were Larry saw his first hieroglyphs that you said were near Vegas. when i was a kid we use to go out to Grape Vine canyon there were a lot of hieroglyphs there also. lived in Vegas 82/83 spent a lot of time in the springs in the canyons below the dam.
That's probably right probably a Buick they were pretty well known for using straight eight engines
Good luck with your 7 dwarves. I'd bet some would pay to watch.
Ms Wonderhussy you have a great lust for life,,, Appreciate your curiousity about history. Pretty great trait!
You are a Funny Girl, I like ur sense of humor! LMAO... Wonder Hussy and the Seven Midgets of Death Valley!
That Buick Roadmaster with the FireBall Straight Eight was not a cheap Car to purchase new. Sense Pete was here into the 1940s, that Buick could have belonged to him
The link to order the calendar does not work. Please fix!!
great adventure as always Sarah,im not sure why the guy would have pink doors and trim in his house but ,hey,to each his own btw get crafstman to send you a couple of dimes for advertising their name on that beautiful melon of yours,Sarah its been a such a pleasure darlin,please stay safe and blessed!
Really appreciate the extra effort in doing and sharing some research. I've puttered around many of the places you talk about (including this mine and camp) and you've inspired me to explore some more. Your videos are kind of cliff hangers with all the eye candy, and little history, so I always end up doing a lot of reading up to find out what happened at these places.
Telescope peak...........calling my name.
CHILL, It looks like a run of the mill-
mill to me. So no big thrill. But I love this vid kid.❤
Sausage fest... ha ha ha ha ha! Never heard that one before. I love it!
Pretty amazing ow they used gasoline back in the day given how explosive it can be. I've seen gas blow torches, my grandfather had a few of them. They were old and I never actually saw one in action. Can't imagine using it with a stove. Amazing!
It's a Buick 1947 or 48
hes right
Maybe even a '49.
Nice vid wh
Going to pass on that Dwarf job, thank's anyway. Wife says I'm not short enough.
Here's an interesting statistic. 6 out of 7 dwarfs are not Happy.
I wouldn't be surprised to learn that you have a snow white costume in your wardrobe.
It's a '47 or '48 Buick Roadmaster if anyone knows the difference between the two years, please reply.
Perhaps my eyes deceive me, but that hot water heater looks newer than a 1940's model. AND its gas fired. did someone hang out here after the principle miner died. did he have a large propane tank sitting out back . did he, could it be.
I like these old towns Sara ya do a great job without any spin. I like EWU Crew but they have now gotten away from doing old towns now. Merry Christmas we can say that again instead of happy holidays...........
I wonder where their water source was.
Hi Ho,hi ho, it's off to work Sarah goes. Making another interesting mine video with an added backstory. ;)
@Wonderhussy Adventures >>> Where did Aguereberry get his water from? Was there a well somewhere?
BTW, I am only 5'5" tall...😊
1942-48 Buick Roadmaster Sedanet Coupe Straight 8
Linoleum was a very popular floorcovering until the early 20th century when it was MURDERED by women. Who stabbed it to death with high heels that came into fashion at about the same time.
