Hussy is wonderful she has a life she called me on the phone two days after my best died ,thank you!! Thank you Sara!!
Maybe the Native Americans will claim all hot springs as their own and start charging people to visit them.
Condolences 💐
Sorry, total Polyamory for WH❤
She has crusty panties too.
She's a very decent person in real life although a bit salty with her language often. Likes poking fun at people but
not at your expense of course. Sorry about losing your bestie. You wanna get a call from the Huss? Buy a piece of property with a hot springs on it and then write her to come visit!
So cool to see you in my town. Those springs were owned by the Montecito Water District and were closed to the public up until a few years ago. We used to sneak up there in the nineties with a plastic blue tarp and make our own pools. It was bought by the Santa Barbara Land Trust and opened up to the public a few years back. It was a great remote place to go til the pandemic when the news got out and people started coming in droves from LA, Ventura and some of the towns up north. It was an ideal outdoor activity during that time when we were all locked inside. Now, if I go there, I hike in from the next canyon over (Cold Springs Canyon). A bit of a trek, but totally worth it. Again, great to see you in our town and thanks for the hours and hours of one of a kind Infotainment I've enjoyed. Big hugs.
Did you hit it too while she was there?
I live nearby in Ventura County, I love the marine layer....we're going to catch up with Mojave in the triple digits soon. The Thomas Fire and subsequent flood really ravaged your area, a friend brought his backhoe after the flood to look for survivors, it was grim. I'm sure the USFS wanted the area to stabilize before allowing the thundering herds of tourists in, we had to tow over 400 tourist vehicles out that blocked our one lane road during the pandemic and haul 100+ pounds of trash out afterwards, with tagging to cover up....this is why magical spots get closed down. People can't behave themselves.
Don't get me started on Rich blocking public access. California beaches! A rich well known actor placed a chain and padlock on the gate for public access. He replaced the parking signs to show no parking here to here. He put plants in front of the gate so people couldn't see it and a camera down the walkway. I cut the locks, moved the plants and flipped the camera off. Within 5 minutes that tiny tot assaulted me BUT he called the Sheriff's. "I paid 12 million for this house. I own the beach!" Sorry, no you don't. Tidelines do I went to annoy him on purpose. He is well known for his shenanigans
Who cares
@@ShariAbner1Why type that? If YOU don’t care, just leave, WITHOUT leaving such a callous remark! Your negativity can ruin someone’s good mood!
Really, learn to care! You’ll be a happier person, when you learn to love others!
Your thumbnail picture is so sad looking…I DO care, so I subscribed to you!😘🥰❤️
Lots of people have PRIVATE beaches.
Most like don't have private beaches in California.
All ocean beaches up to the mean high tide level are public per the law. There are many of those beaches that are directly accessible from other public lands. Some beaches have private lands bordering them. They can't stop you from accessing the beach below the high tide mark, but they do not have to provide access to that area through private land.
That dude that put the herbs in the hot spring was just starting to make stew. W H you gave the location away. Put myself through college delivering the local news paper to that area. One lady didn't pay me for a year, After delivering her a paper a year old; she told me she would have her New York City accountant send me a check.
He was trying to sanitize it after WonderCrusty stunk it up.
I used to go there in the '70's, and I never saw anyone else there. There was only the original natural "tub" near the cliff. I built the first tub out of rocks and lined it with black plastic sheet to retain the water better. I hiked all over the mountains in that area and found a few more hot springs with "tubs" that seemed to be very ancient, but they are more remote and harder to find.
I knew you were in the "M" town long before you ever showed that grading permit application as I lived in that county for 35 years. The flora and fauna completely gave it away. The coast is known for its "marine layer" in the mornings...sometimes burns off around 10 or 11am, sometimes it doesn't. Homes in that area run in the 37 million dollar range. Glad you were able to see the area.
Whenever I watch a WH video, I marvel at the total entertainment of her narrative style!
here in oregon, all the hot springs are clothing optional!
not in Eastern OR, thank God
Wonderhussy you are hereby declared an honorary Aussie on the basis of your perfect Steve Irwin imitation and because you are, without doubt, a most excellent human 😁❤️
shes a little ripper!
Yes, I agree that this hot springs is by far the most peaceful and beautiful one you have visited! Got to admit I was wondering what you were doing in a nice ritzi neighbor in the first place. 🤔 Once you've showed us where you were going with this....then it made sense. 😊 You do love your hot springs! 😁 So glad you got to take a dip even if it was for a short time. Well chalk another hot springs to your belt...and on to the next one!! 😎 Happy trails Sarah, love ya girl!! 👍💕👓🥾👙
Fun, lovely time at the springs. Thanks for sharing your adventure.
I’m glad you made it up to the spring, and safely out as well. As older folks, we might have a little trouble getting there. Thank you for picking up trash others left behind. Keeping America beautiful for others with your great personality, Too.. Safe travels from NYS.
Great to see you in my hometown! It was an amazing town to grow up in - childhood there in the 70s was still unspoiled and uncrowded. It's changed so much since then it feels like a suburb of LA. We spent a ton of time all up and down those mountains :p There are a few still-secret spots (unlike the one in this video) I'd share with you if you ever go back. Cheers!
Searched the web for parking problems around PUBLIC hot springs. Not a secret the rich are rich at the price of decency. a little narcissist But the Hussy paid off crashed the gate doing 98. F the one percenter! thank you, ALL stay safe
Beautiful lush trail and hot springs. As popular and relatively accessible it was pretty trash free, thanks for sharing, WH.
I love your narratives Sarah…. You have a great talent …. Good job !
Whew HUSSEY. Get a roooom😅😅😅😅
Hey HUSSEY. Toyo needs a deep serviced belts hoses oil rear dif fluid batt alt. All the good stuff for another 100k Miles 😅😅
Love these Wonderhussy back to her roots videos! 😊
The 13th of June is my brother Fernando's birthday. Thank you so much for the amazing video. I do appreciate it. 🌻😊
I knew when I saw the trees and that estate gate entry where you were!
The coastal chaparral of California has always been a magical place of healing for the soul. 🌱
Good Vid Sarah. This Hot Spring location is so easy to google & locate. Some of the information revealed when searching, name many celebrities that were ordered to remove boulders from the road in front of their houses that they placed to prevent the public from parking there.
Montecito in Santa Barbara county. There's another good hot springs in Rose valley in Los Padres national forest. 20 mile round trip hike is pretty easy.
Great hot springs adventure Wonder Hussy! Glad you were able to enjoy it!! 😊
There was a time when I drove monthly through Montecito on my way to McConnels Ice Cream facility in Santa Barbara to do maintenance on their pint filler. Beautiful area, just never had time to stop and enjoy. Very elitist vibe. Thanks for the tour. I do enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing.
Wonderhussy roaming trails wherever she finds them. Does a nice walk 'n'talk. Clean path but lots of tripping hazards. WH you lead and I'll follow. Nice stone pools . You dressed up the one really well.
If there was Disneyland parking there'd be Disneyland crowds. Thanks for doing your cleanup, Sarah. You are good people. Stay well!❤❤❤
Shucks, if I'd known you were coming, you could have camped in our driveway about 10 miles from the trailhead! (We're normal middle-class folks.) But there are even better hot springs in the nearby backcountry with either a long hike or bike ride to get to them... I go out to them twice a year when it's no longer crazy hot back there and rarely see anyone. To get to the closer one, it's either a 7.5 mile, one-way walk; or an 11 mile one-way ride, all uphill on the return. Fun, on an electric mountain bike!
You my dear Wonderhussy, lead a blessed and fascinating life!!! Thank you so much for sharing your wealth and travels!!!!!
Great adventure!
Thanks for cleaning up after the inconsiderate few. Enjoy the remainder of your Summer!
So good to see you again !
And now it's time for another episode of "How the Hussy Soaks!"🙃 Gotta love it. Anyway, I can kinda understand...homeowners don't buy a supper high priced spread just to have a squad
of other people hanging around nearby. But, when you named some of the residents, I just don't have any respect for their "type". I don't need no stinking celeb's opinions on politics or much
of anything else, for that matter. They need to do movies, write songs and such and keep their voting habits secret.
Glad you squeezed another hot soak into your busy schedule, Sarah Jane. Thanks for taking us along. Love ya, Darlin'.
You look so happy! Lol so cute. I get the same way hiking.
👍👍👍👍👍😆, Wednesday and Friday are my favorite days of the week
Oh my gosh! You’re a great story teller! and funny 😂
Not putting American's down but we had a lot of trouble here in NZ with wealthy American folk coming here buying up land and blocking access to the public getting to fishing and hiking spots etc well they soon learnt that they couldn't do that as we have a old law here called the Queen's chain (66feet or 22 yards) that allows access along creek beds and trails that exist over their land, they tried and tried to have convictions imposed on folk or the law changed, at the end of the day access is still allowed and always will be.
Oh ya us Americans take whatever we want, very arrogant people. Ugh it's embarrassing to be one and a white one on top of that.
In most parts of Missouri, land owners can't keep people from poking along either side of a creek, river and such areas. Around me, a lot of raccoon hunters come around and thin those
"trash pandas" out. More power to 'em.
all the 1800's surveys here in california were in chains -- 66 feet.
Easements are 66ft now still. That is how much it takes for a firetruck to turn around.
Maybe you should ask your government why they are letting foreigners in. I don't imagine it has anything to do with money
The rich snobby neighbors don't own this public place in Montecito Hot Springs, Santa Barbara, Ca.
Ritzy homeowners in deal. NJ tried to block access to beach but court knocked em down
lol pin dropped
Did you see the dead fish float up when wondercrusty climbed in?
LOL
@@user-ht1xu4gv2u Same thing in Rhode Island decades ago
It took me all of 2 minutes to Google the place.

Really cool to see where you take us on here Thanks
Bummer I just did the backcountry trail at this place . Love it!
You Rock Wonder Hussey.
Very impressive, this one. With the way my body aches this morning, I wisj I was there at 6 am to enjoy a wonderful sans attire soak.
How beautiful!! I’d love to go there someday!!
Thank You Sarah! I really appreciate your adventurous work. You are my legs.
Know that area well, but did not know about the fabulous Hot Springs. Recommend the Pharmacy for breakfast and “bird watching”. Keep havin’ fun.
Lady WH, your humor cracks me up!!
You're such an amazing storyteller. And remember, no pants, no problem, love it Lol 🏴☠️
Ive been watching U WH a while now years anyway.. and its like coming home .. love the way your hair bounces as you walk and talk..
I could literally follow you for miles and miles ❤❤
Ever just ran into WH as i was searching for something id feel like ran into queen .. the wondering queen
I love her too!!
Once you mentioned the potential neighbors it was no secret as to where these springs were located.
I found it in 60. Seconds. Headed there tomorrow to party 😊
Thanks for another fun adventure stay safe looking forward too next adventure 🎉
I knew You were in the Montecito area as soon as I saw the area. Good job.
I noticed when you’re describing the history of the hotline you almost go into a sort of Huell Howser California gold kind of style, gotta love it! Rest in peace dear Huell
❤❤ I have never in my life been to a hot springs even though I only grew up about an hour from where you are.
It's similar here in NY where in Saratoga Springs they have hot springs but the rich people don't want anyone actually going to them, same with some of the areas on Lake George because all the wealthy homeowners don't want anyone on the trails or getting to the mountains.
I used to live there and go to the dog show at the Polo Fields! in the 70's! LOL!
I went to the big dogs parade up there a few times. Fun stuff.
Haven't seen you in awhile. Always enjoy your pods.take care now
I live in this area, not the rich area tho, I used to frequent these trails and springs not to long ago ... but the internet, mainly social media has definitely ruined our little secret by attracting disrespectful out of town-ers. Locals really love and respect our nature trails because it is all we have and to see it crowded and littered now, well you can see the issue with the neighbors, evident of the trash you found on the street.... and Thank you for being a good nature citizen and leaving the place better than you found it.
For funnzies, google map this area on satellite view and you can see the amazing estates just beyond the fences and gates you walked and drove past. Quite stunning that I live among this kind of money, that I wish would trickle down to me sometimes, haha.
Very interesting, very interesting!! I hope you had a nice hot, hot day at the hot springs my dear!!??
So cool! I used to live about an hour northwest of there! And used to hike around that area!
You put on a great Australian accent in my opinion, it made me crack up. Another great episode! Happy Independence Day !
That "Notice of Proposed Development" was filed in 2008! 😂😂😂😂
That struck me as rather odd too.
VERY COOL SARAH,,NICE JOB..
Nice going hot spring natural beautiful and skinny dipping.
Megan and Harry want you to respect their privacy. I grew up in there area I had gate codes for 50 miles of the coast line to surf.
How Awesome it is to think my dream girl is or was here in Santa Barbara. I mean really, the desert heat can be a bit much, and I used to live in Las Vegas, but the weather here is just amazing.
Nature is so beautiful.
Thank you for your work. 🌹
Nice hot springs thanks!
I won’t give away your new special spot; but I grew up in the neighboring community ( middle class family) and we’d hike up a ravine in the area to an awesome swimming hole with massive boulders you could jump off but clearly development bas over taken public lands which never bodes well for anyone or any creature:-( thank you Wonderhussy for the trip down memory lane:-)
as far as Ive known Babs always lived on PCH in Malibu. In fact the gate has a huge "BS" on it! Youre in Montecito, home of Neverland Ranch, Oprah, Ellen, Rob Lowe, Ariana and a history of lots of wildfires!
lots of celebs there... imagine running into, say, Martin Gore enjoying a dip ? Wonder if he's been there. "This is the morning of our Love" haha 😍
Very interesting! Thanks for sharing!
They used to park all over for the nude beach too!
We going to California today from Phoenix , me my girlfriend and her mom . Can’t wait to pass Palm Springs
Sorry
Go to Sam’s Family Spa on Dillon Road. Funky place but pure good hot spring pools.
Don’t stop unless you like rainbow people.
Out of the frying pan into the June gloom.
Used to go to college there with an assistant to a famous wealthy person and spent some time on their estate up there. Fun times.
I worked for a towing company that would pay us to tow cars leave them in roadways and no parking zones to be towed and ticketed by others. We would get 1000 yes thousand or more per car to do this. The money to hard to resist these people will stop at nothing I heard they gave a guy a battery powered impact gun and 2000 dollars to remove lug nuts from the parked cars and throw them away!
I think this was one of my favourites
These are so much fun !
I could watch you hike all day 😍 😉
Loved this informative episode.
I grew up about a mile from there. Imagine what it was like for a 14 year old boy who was deflowered near there in the sixties. Magical. It is a beautiful area.
Well done, the way to be left alone is not millions of dollars, it's getting naked!😂
Thanks Hussy !!
Cool! Love hot springs also. Watching fromt the PHILIPPINES where there are lots of hot springs. I was at on recently on the island of Negros, up the mountain from Dumaguete City. The sign stated "clothing optional" but I didn't see any nudity either that day.
June gloom saves us from early summer heat,but by August September...say good bye too it.
This is happening to a lot of hot springs. My favorite one at Mt. Shasta was recently privatized.
Great video, Sara. Thanks again!
Great video Sarah 😊
I wish I owned one of those houses, or a ranch with hot springs, just to have you over for a soak and a cold one🍻
The herb left in the pool is Mugwort aka Artemisia douglasiana which is a native plant indigenous to the area and useful to the Chumash for thousands of years.
Can’t wait to tell everyone on the 395 about this spring. Ye haw!
I am glad you had a great time! I just can’t believe people are going to tell everyone where it’s located. You didn’t, so ur ok💜
I'm glad nice walk!!!
If people were putting up boulders it backfired because it gave some extra publicity to the spring, probably attracting even more people. The very thing they tried to avoid.
Also known as the Streisand Effect, which first occurred in nearby Malibu.
I have been there many times but I actually enjoying hiking in from the trail that is a little north. Parking is also better plus there are swimming holes so one can take one last dip before getting in the car.
The herbs looked like mugwort. Amazing herb
Once again, public means public!!!
Stinking right on! Great find. Lol🎉🎉🎉
Hi...great hot springs ! See anyone with a bath brush and "soap on a rope " smoking those herbs ?
we all got us a good soak and nakey timne with our queen!Have a safe summer everybodyyyyy!
Zzzzzzzzzz
That was a great Nikki Osborne impression at 8:45 !
Crikey mate! Is the Wonderhussy basil stew ready yet? LOL
Aah yes, The Hussy is back to her old standby and doing a hot spring soak. And I'm guessing you are around the S.B, Ca. area since you mentioned the sulfur odor, the trees and plants that I see and the three-mile hike to get there, not to mention the celebrities. And I'm surprised that no one noticed The Hussy, 'the queen of soak', was in their presence...travel on WH !!
She was there on a Thursday early in the morning , like sneaking in compared to Friday to Sunday during the mid-day. Then it's way too crowded.
Safe to say this isn the “secret” hot springs in the saline valley 😂
First rule of Saline Valley ...
Salty Valley? Who the heck wants that. Snark. That's the most amazing springs location of all. Been way too long since I was there.
@@nickn626 Is that it's too hard and dangerous for your car to get there. Wink Wink.
