- Welcome to Wonderhussy Adventure #548
Dates of Adventure: 5/22-5/23/21
One of my favorite campsites is at a place called Thelma & Louise Road, just outside Death Valley. Why is it called that?? Because it's on the edge of the Amargosa River Canyon -- and looks like a miniature version of Canylonds, where the movie was shot! My sis and hike down to the bottom of the canyon, and find ALL KINDS of interesting stuff! Old house, old car, a cave, a grave...and more!

The lids nailed to the ceiling was to hold nuts and bolts, screws and nails. My granddad did the same thing. Awsome stuff Sarah. Sooo enjoy your adventures.
mystery solved!
👍🏼🍺
who's sara
James420: you are right but your description is lacking. The lids held the glass jars that held stuff
@@kc0lif .....Sara is 'Wonderhussy'
Glad to see proper footwear (boots) were used and flip-flops left behind! Be Adventurous AND be Safe!
😂✌️🥰🏜️
The truck in the video looks to be a 1925 Studebaker truck. Another great video.
Three months ago today we lost our twenty year old cat Big Boy….we were immediately adopted by a cat roaming the neighborhood who today became officially our cat by being neutered and named…..his name is Larry! Named for your friend Larry…..everyone who he has been introduced to is so amused by his name because I use your way of pronouncing LARRY…anyway he is doing great and we have fallen in love with him…..I swore I was through having a pet at my age because of the horrible Grief of losing our twenty year old cat…BUT Larry has changed all that…thank you Wonderhussy!!!!!
Thanks for encouraging me to find another after loss😢🤔😘
Best way to get over a loss of a pet is to adopt another, there are SO MANY who need caring for. Good for you.
Oh wow, we start where Wonderhussy and sister meet Thelma and Louise! This is another first.
Another awesome episode in the life of wonderhussy! RIP Frank...."stay"....."good boy!"
that old car looks like a Model A ford, convertered into a pick up truck, that uses to be a regular conversion for farm vehicles
Thank you, and your sister, for taking us along for a journey to the banks of the Amagrosa River banks! It was nice to see the great desert scenery and being on the hike! The highlight was seeing you enjoy your palm-flavored shake at the end - cool reward for the hike! Looking forward to the next grand journey and adventure! Stay safe, awesome, adventures and cool! 🌅🤙🎇🧧
When you are in the middle of nowhere it's good to come around the bend to a gift shop.
This is gotta be one of my new favorites, great job of showing this couch potato around that very diverse terrain
That watershead isn’t the Amargosa river, although it does meet the Amargosa at Acme. The Noonsday mine is just to the east in the same general area of the war eagle mine. The original townsite was also called noonsday camp. Mining ceased in the 50s and abandoned on the 70s. Scrappers and vandals did the rest. The talc mine was owned by western talc and worked into the 80s, I was told. The shaft that you were looking in was one of the more stable shafts in the area and had good timbered collars until some nitwit poured diesel fuel into it a burned out the collars. Interesting area I’ve visited many times. Didn’t know about the T&L connection though.
Your channel name is dieselfreek any connection? Jk. Thought it was ironic. Interesting nuggets of info you added. Thanks
So glad your sis is with you. Makes you come across much happier and it makes me happy you have her with you. Anyway as always enjoyed it, thank you and sis.
I do enjoy how much space you give Sis. It's kinda love. If you give her space, she'll come. If you don't give her space she'll threaten not to come. But she's your dam Sister and you 'll still get together...
RIP Frank.
Yeah that was ruff ruff
Your welcome
I'll see my self out
I'm glad to see people making good functional use out of desert area ( the date farm)... I REALLY hope people don't start getting ideas once the realize how much water can actually be found out there.. The Western deserts are really the " last frontier"so freaking beautiful and diversified.. TY Sarah for at least showing the world how beautiful it really is.. I'm REALLY glad alot of people would be too lazy and not tough enough to go some of the places you go.. Special spirits were watching out for that beautiful little oasis SO FREAKING PRETTY!!!❤❤
Was water until the governors sold our water rights to the Nestle company for the bottled water.
My puppers recognize the opening theme song and knew it was time for coffee and snuggles
Yes the electrical things are knobs of the old knob and tube wiring method.
If you don't go......you'll never know. Words to live by.
It was a mine town site everybody worked at the mine
Those plants with the "squash" like fruit is called "Coyote Melon". They're fairly common in desert and semi-desert areas. They are not edible. CHEERS!
Natives or exotics?
@@archstanton_live They are native.
We gave a similar vine in Australia, we call ours 'Pademelon', they are toxic, so they spread pretty well because nothing eats them.
Good video! It’s almost midnite here with me so I’ll say goodnight.
At 9.45 Wonderhussy starts marching on her hike with key STILL in hand! Me: freaking out "SAFEGUARD THAT KEY"!! ...yes put key deep in pack hooked to a loop so it can't fall out either. WHY? .....Ever look for a key in the desert? ☘☘☘
P.s FUNNY KEY STORY: i was hiking from Humber Park (idyllwild) up Devil's Slide into the San Jacinto wilderness. At the Saddle Junction (the top of Devil's Slide where all the trails veer off in different directions) I had paused & got a chattn' with a fellow hiker. He said he was on a retreat in Idyllwild and drinking in the peace n quiet. It transpired he had a church in Lakeside California (San Diego). After some sustenance I was on my way and MUCH later that day was very surprised to meet up with him in that exact same area. He was looking for his motorbike key and had to hike Devil's Slide back up a second time. Nobody wants to hike Devil's Slide twice in one day that's for sure. It was the end of a long day and I was very happy and impatiently descending Devil's Slide to meet at the car in which I carpooled (they were doing another hike). After about an hour I got to the car, and in anticipation of getting there before them had lefy myself some cold water and snacks hidden under the car. It had been hot, so to my relief i saw they also left me the car key. But I quickly changed my mind since there's no way in heck the owner of that fancy SUV would leave me his key. As I tried to make sense of the key I saw a motorbike parked right next to our vehicle. It was like trying to put a puzzle together. The key looked different and zi realized it probably is a motorbike key. There's a motorbike right there, and I met a guy who lost a motorbike key!
But WHY was HIS KEY, UNder OUR CAR... tidily placed onto my things. All I coukd think was that he dropped his key or left it in his bike. Someone saw it. Thought that maybe we are all together. (It is not uncommon for meetup groups to meet and hike together from Humber Park. Altho it was a leap. The person was probably petrified to leave the key on the bike letting anyone just drive off with it. I was THRILLED for the BIKE OWNER that I found his key, but sadly I had not an inch of strength left to hike up Devil's Slide to go tell him.
I had no choice but full knowing how tormented he must be, to just wait. Well his face when I told him where I found his key, it was just as perplexed as I was. But we were WAY TOO EXHAUSTED to discuss it even.
Small screws, nuts, and bolts were put in Mason Jars and when they screwed the jar onto the lid hanging from the ceiling it made for convenient storage.
AND EASY identification!
I am off roader, and I have to say 95% of us probably pack out more then we pack in. I have a feel you are seeing a lot of stuff in a pile is when it floods. Things up stream go down stream. That looks like an O2 bottle. I do carry one in my medic bag, but highly doubt anyone would leave one behind on purpose.
Or the vicious winds.
I see the Mason Jar lid question was already answered so the two glass pieces hanging down were insulators to keep the electrical wires from touching each other and off the surface of the mine so as not to energize any metal in the area. The wires would have been attached about half way up the pieces.
“If ya don’t go, you’ll never, ever know.” Ain’t that the truth. Love ya crazy awesome adventures mate. Stay safe in ya happy place.👍🇦🇺❤️🤪😁🥳🤩
The big mountain north east of that mine if you start exploring it you’ll find big mines with tools and ore charts inside
First time that beds’ been laid in YEARS!
Hey Beavis, he said "laid"... huhuhuhuhuhuhuhu
A cowl air vent. Auto is from 30s-40s, probably.
The wood pieces made it look more like a truck...
Graffiti Détente ! and then I cant wait to get into that CRACK and remove the stuck balloon lol
The tops of the jars used to have glass and they keep nuts and bolts screwed in there
Sarah! I'm jealous, you and your sister are having to much fun. Happy trails! 😎🚶♀️👍
Oh yay!!!! It's Wonder Wednesday Hussy!!! I'm sooooooo happy now! Well, Telma? Lol. Thanks Wonderhussy! For awesome, incredible, adventure through that valley. Ruins, and the date farm. I honestly feel like I was hiking right along with you and sis. Whew I need a nap now! Lol. Loved it!
I love how you and your sister have "sister" rigs!!!
That looked like a lot of fun. I love exploring but unable to do so. You bring the fun to us. Thank you.
Thanks Sarah. I've always wondered what was down that way from the date farm.
"We'll be drinking margaritas by the sea Mamacita..." my favorite movie quote 😎🍹💙
Your "Bombers", sound lie a small Tennessee Horse fly. 40 years ago, I got bit by one, at work. I didn't even know it was there, until it felt like I'd been stabbed, in the chest. By the time I got my shirt unbuttoned, I had blood running down my chest. I grabbed the first aid kit and some alcohol swabs, and got the blood stopped. I had a hole in my hide, that looked like it was made by a tiny ice cream scoop. I looked at my shirt and had a matching, 1/16" hole, in my effing shirt. I bandaged my wound, and then, I spotted him. This bastard was almost solid black and half the size of a humming bird. I was in a enclosed tool room. I grabbed a broom, chased it around for 10 minutes, and settled his hash.
The round "melons" are called a Coyote Gord and are not edible but the natives did used to eat the seeds off the ground. Once the gord was dried it was use as rattels.
Cars in the 20's had wood frames !!! I love your videos Wanderhussey you go where I grew up !!! Sespe and the Los Padres National Forest !!! I grew up in Cuyama Valley and my parents lived on the farm for 50 years !!! I especially like your lost coast video !!! Been there and was in awe !!!
Morning sunshine, your VLOGS always bring a smile to my face
Good video/documentary on the opera house & lady who ran it from local libraries...
Just so close to the Wonderhussy and sis compound. Great place to wander amist the otherwise hot and dry barren desert.
I live vicariously, through you; Homeslice🙃😉
"Oh! I can't wait to crawl into that crack!!!" AMAZING video!!
Good times w/Wonder Hussy!
Wonderhussy at her best. Beautiful scenery. History and adventure. Environmental info and clean-up (grrr Mylar balloons grrr) And you finish with a sweet treat. Stay safe ladies. 👭😎
My grandfather did the same thing with Mason jar lids ceilings and walls mason jars filled with things he felt he needed
People sometimes nail jar lids to the ceiling or the underside of a cabinet so they can store things in jars without shelves. You screw the jar onto the lid from the bottom and it hangs there. You can pick out what you need without having to dig around on shelves. The round screen looked like a splatter screen like you put over a frying pan so grease doesn't splatter. That one was kind of big and might have been to contain sparks in a fire ring or barrel used to burn garbage. I think the car was a Model T or Model A pickup with a wooden bed. The "vent" was on the back. The body had been flipped forward and was upside down. Model Ts came packed in wooden crates and the crates were used for the dash board and other parts of the car, so they were part wood.
Excellent adventure!
Awesome video! I have some pretty cool memories from that camp site. That Gord is a Coyote Melon 😉
Thanks Diane. I was curious about that.
@@kenycharles8600 you are welcome! Hope you are doing well!
Are they safe to Eat? Plus is all that bubbling water safe to drink?
@@mitch5077 found this on Google. The flowers are similar to those of pumpkins, squashes and other members of the cucumber family, but the foul odor and extremely bitter taste of the coyote melon makes it inedible to humans. ... Some say that since the flesh of the melon is sweet and the center toxic, that the fruit is tricky, like a coyote.
As far as the water goes, I wouldn't drink any water out in nature without treating it
@@OutandAboutWithDiane Thank You for the info. Some poor sap like me would probably eat one, need a drink of water and then die🤣 again Thanks! ❤️🤟😎
The wild melons look the same as what I remember growing in outback Queensland Downunder when I was a kid out there,we called them paddy melons,some old timers made jam from them cheers old Al
Always enjoy the short history of your adventures.,along with adding some humor to your blogs. Keep trecking!!🚶♀️🚶♀️🚶♀️🙋♂️
Walked from the Smith Talc road to China Ranch for a Date Shake in 2015. 3 spots were clogged with thorny brush. One spot we hugged the right side cliff scree slope, one we crawled on our bellies. The well that you seek is straight down from your rigs. There you will find his pump.
Yay another fabulous adventure!
The lids on the ceiling are fastened (screwed, nailed, ...) in. Small items are sorted into different glass jars. The the jars are screwed into the lids. My grandfather used this technique for screws, washers, nails, ...
The vehicle looks like one of those rare muffler bearing cars I think it's from the early 1900s and it looks like it was converted for the mining operation 🤗🇺🇸 Cjd wash state 🤗
Good Morning
You are a Mitch M as well. Only few of us remain. I'm MMM
Cool place to explore and camp. 🤙🏽

In a canyon in a cavern Excavating for a mine was a Miner 49er and his daughter Clementine Oh My Darling oh my darling Oh My Darling Clementine you are lost and gone forever truly sorry Clementine
Alfalfas favorite song
Oh my darling, oh my darling
Oh my darling, Clementine
You were lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorrow, Clementine
In a cavern, in a canyon
Excavating for a mine
Dwelt a miner forty-niner
And his daughter, Clementine
Yes I loved her, how I loved her
Though her shoes were number nine
Herring boxes, without topses
Sandals were for Clementine
Oh my darling, oh my darling
Oh my darling, Clementine
You were lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorrow, Clementine
Drove the horses to the water
Every morning just at nine
Hit her foot against a splinter
Fell into the foaming brine
Ruby lips above the water
Blowing bubbles soft and fine
But alas, I was no swimmer
So I lost my Clementine
Oh my darling, oh my darling
Oh my darling, Clementine
You were lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorrow, Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorrow, Clementine
If I were camping on that cliff the main thing I'd be worrying and 'wondering' about is - did I set the parking brake and chuck the wheels on my camper?
Golly yes, Def parking sloping AWAY from the precipice.
This Driver has a wheel chock in the pick up bed ...
😋😃
Park sideways. Lol set the parking Brake. Yes chocks on the wheels. Cottonwood trees grow big near huge source of water. Cottonwood trees are beautiful. But needs lots of water.
Why did the blm - Beaure of land management taking their land away? Not nice. Blm takes away allot of stuff from people.
Niss Nissen just an awesome job well done
You Are a rare woman. So much to see in nature, but most women don't want to explore. Love your enthusiasm and sense of wonder!
That vent is for cool air it’s on the cowling it’s definitely a teens or 20s car
Some 1950s Studebakers had 2..."gills" in the fenders right behind the front wheels.(8-)
The lids on the ceiling are to make easy to find nuts and bolts in mason jars. An old do it yourself trick.
3 videos in and I am thoroughly enjoying this. Keep up the great work. 👍
realism, you know why i love you
Wolfe, UK
The "Sisters" song by Rosemary Clooney just came to mind... Fun to watch, thanks!
with Vera-Ellen.
ya, it cheeses me off too that mining sites were just abandoned. I have seen a lot of instances where old mining sites were reclaimed & turned into nice recreational opportunities. In Florida old phosphite pits have been turned into bass fishing resorts.
"Well got your happy back and that far out tan!"
That was very cool. Still anxious to see the new place !
Whever you go, there you are"!! Thanks Wonder Girl.👍👍✌️🤗😎
Great video Sara .. I have that area in my sights for when it's cooler .. I want to do the talc mines and now I have other stuff to look at thanks to you!
Another beautiful trip with WH always makes my day when i see your video on line i hope that your staying safe from the heat wave i see on UKs world news please take care both of you
Great view!
Think I will try this spot to 🏕 thank you for all your great videos
Yessss I know this place secret spot for camping 🚙😘⛺💕 I missing so much! Thank you for be there and share 😘💗
Great video.Thanks for taking me along.
The miners used to dig a 30 or 50 ft tunnel to store Dynamite where it is cool
Watching the video now. Very glad you have your sister with you. We feel better about your safety. Interesting things to see in the desert. Keep up the great adventures. Be safe. Thank you.
That was exciting I really enjoyed watching this one thank you from the old retired guy👍😎👍
At 14:10 . . . THAT ORNERY FEISTY LAUGH !
And again at 16:05
This is the kinda video I like. Leave the scary types behind. Find a guy with a nice 4X4 car. Maybe even a haircut. Why not? To compliment your own hair!
Thank you for the hard work.
Beauty and/or interest in every frame. Glad the "bomber" flies weren't around. You illustrated that some pretty inaccessible places can be explored in a sensible way, with some thought. That's a valuable contribution.
He travels the fastest who travels alone. -Rudyard Kipling
thank you again Sarah 👍👍
Great video again as you always do!!! Both You and Your Sister Take Care and Stay Safe!!!!!
Oh Nice!!!! Your videos keep getting better and better! Keep it up!
I LOVE IT !!!!!!!!!
That’s how the 4Runner bumper really got bent!
That drive off the cliff shot was awesome 👏
Very cool vid I love hiking through China ranch date farm and always loved the date shakes,cookies and the bread all really good
Cool video beautiful country and enjoying watching now awesome video Wonderhussy 😊👍😎👌❤️
What an amazing place. Great find.
The mason jar lids nailed to the ceiling was probably connected to jars to screw into the lids, storing nails and screws, etc, if this was a tool shed.
My dad did it.
Did you run across The Armargosa opera house ? My wife and I came across this on our way to California from Las Vegas . What a place . Woman was still there and would put on a show on certain nights .
IF I'm not mistaken, Wonderhussy did a video regarding the Amargosa Opera H0use back a couple years. Also, a Lass named Jenni (Jenni Gives CZcams channel) has a
video or two about the place.
@ACME INC....great info THANKS
She did touch on the subject of opera house in a prior episode, yes!
Unexpected finds = the best adventures. Cool vlog.
