- Welcome to Wonderhussy Adventure #178!
While exploring northern Nevada with some girlfriends, we visited this beautiful old semi-ghost-town north of Winnemucca called Paradise Valley. People still live here, and are very friendly. After having drinks in the saloon, we explored a bunch of creepy old abandoned houses on the edge of town. It looked like a Thomas Kincaid painting after the apocalypse!

The first basement room was the bakery portion, the second one was for meats and cleanup, I do believe. And yes, that was a coal chute. I was a historical home tour guide here in PA for a bit, at houses dating from the early 1700s, pre revolutionary war, to the late 1800s, post civil war ..that whole building, from the ice house that extended under the road, up, fascinated me so much. The older the building the more amazing. ❤️
The Hollymatic is a type of meat grinder. You see similar on most farms.
The door on the top of that first building was to throw hay down from. It's usually stored on the second floor.
Sometimes WonderHussy is like a little kid on Christmas morning with her enthusiasm for mundane stuff most people ignore or take for granted. I think it is that infectious curiosity that makes us all love her. But some of us, including me, are exactly like her and can relate to her 100%. Every video she does makes me smile.
I float on that boat!
Exactly
You nailed it. When I get a notice of a new video I smile then too.
WonderHussy uses a Fuckamatic(tm) vibrator. I can't tell if that town is surrounded by a forest or those are artificially planted trees? It seems like there is raining and snowing there so it should sustain trees, maybe. Anyway, people need to buy up my "Impact" a James Grider novel on Amazon that I've written, including any subsequent sequels I publish, so I can afford to move out of the desert into a forested area where I'll have coolness and shade.
wtf did i just read?
Lol😃 Loved your, "Thomas KinKade after the apocalypse," reference. Lol. 😆😄. Thanks, WH !💕!
I'm always astounded by the masonry out there. It really is a neat little town. Always see deer on the roads and near the houses. 💯💯
New Drinking Game :
Take a shot each time Ms Hussy says “creepy” .
Thanks WH for allowing us to come along on your most interesting adventures !
Or Yikes!!!
Paradise Valley is a ranching community and Italian stone masons were hired for farming and ranching during summer. In the winter they used there mason skills to build the buildings.
The cellars are root cellars to store vegetables like carrots , potatoes and make fermented pickles plus make wine. .
Your zest for life is wonderful. I enjoy each video and your lively take on your subjects. I have stage three pancreatic cancer, six months of surgery , chemo, radiation, now going daily for chemo and rad. Your videos provide a highlight for the day. Thank you
Be strong and think Jesus. And have a nice day, Thailand Paul
Another great explore. 21:01 The international truck is a 1980 model. The license plate is from between 1983 and 2000. Can't find much info on the town, except that it was an agricultural and mining town from 1864 until the 1960s, when the mines closed down and it became a ghost town. Recently it's been undergoing a revival and some of the businesses have been reopened.
The businesses never really stopped nor the agricultural industry here I live on a ranch here the bar hasn’t closed in a long time never since I’ve been alive anyways mines are trying to get back in slowly. It never really became a ghost town they just classified it as one because of the low numbers in the town
@@agustusferraro20 Thank you. Oh! Hey out of curiosity... Can you tell us if that "duplex" building, with the "Men" sign on one door, a type of boarding house?
Well, I did get a couple of chuckles out of your tour today. and it was interesting.
I've had a lot of fun in Paradise, Nevada. Exploring for gold, silver....and cold beer. We found the beer, the other-not so much. The place was settled by Italian stone masons and they sure knew how to build.
She is the Kate beckinsale of travel logs! Great segment
Notable quote; “I don’t know if that is a commercial sink for a dishwashing operation or mining equipment.”
Awesome.
That town has the authentic feel of the past, the people are gone, but the past is lingering on. there are several old towns here that the pioneers started, and are slowly falling apart.
you get the impression of past lives lived there.
That song is stuck in my head. Your singing in great!
Dale Belseth omg wonderhussy is annoying
Dale Younger - Turn in your "Dude Card".
@@danielyounger9543 Not anymore than the rest of us. That's why in other videos she tells us that she's weird, just as many of us are in one way or another. Other people are "annoyed" by weird.
One of the biggest movie stars of the silent era was born in Paradise Valley. EDNA PURVIANCE was the leading lady in many of Charlie Chaplin's films. Her family relocated to Lovelock, NV when she was a toddler.
I would bet the duplex was like a boarding house originally that sperated the men and women. Later on it might have been a ranch or farm bunkhouse for the hired help. The women did the washing and tack repair and the men worked the land and took care of the animals. I agree the basement with the barred windows was probably the jail. The fire places where probably stoves to cook for the inmates and lawmen as well as keeping them warm in the winter. That big open basin may have been an old laitreen, careful what you touch... Lol
Great old cars. That was probably the mayor's house at one time or maybe a brothel. Ya never know unless you learn more from the locals. Great video
Love your stories about abandoned places!
It's freakin' cold here in the upper midwest! So... I bought a econo-ticket to Las Vegas, rented a car, and started looking around on YTube for a place to do some winter camping in a few weeks. Whaddya know, bumped into this great channel this afternoon and am enchanted.
I recall back in the days of the crash of the family farm, a tiny posse of us would cruise the country-side poking into hundreds of abandoned buildings in the Dakotas. Always 'creepy', often dangerous, magnetic in it's draw of ghostly charm.
Keep digging!
Another great video! Nice jacket. Almost looks like a space suit!
I’ve enjoyed your videos for a long time now. I don’t remember ever leaving a comment, but I want to now. Thank you for the entertainment you have brought to me and my family. Your a very intelligent person and that fact reflects on the quality of your material. Keep them coming please!!
ARTHUR from Arizona.
Be careful when exploring old basements.... you could encounter an internet troll who doesn't know his parents either moved or passed away.... !
I call places like this "Once Was" places. They are the places that made America what she is. I love your travels Wonderhussy.
The United States once was but still is composed of small acreage
People s imagination s got us to where we are today from small acreage to the ideas of washers and dryers and electric coffee pots concrete drives satalight tv and high paying jobs
I looked up more info on Paradise Valley, and prices for land and houses are insane. Still an interesting video. Used to love poking around old buildings and stuff. Thanks WH.
I saw something like $80,000 for 120 acres. No houses for sale on realtor.com.
If the prices were in the hundreds of thousands, maybe the internet site that you ended up at was for Paradise Valley "Az", many properties there are insanely pricey🙄
She cracks me up! It's Nevada, so assume no smoking means something explosive nearby. Miners could be pretty casual with dynamite. In fact, I use to know a miner that would have wild barbeque partys near his mine in the desert, and his dynamite shack was about twenty feet from the Weber kettle.
Very cool !
great old buildings I am in the uk looks like a movie set also I love your accent when you say holy cow 👍
Wow Nice Find, realy cool old ghost town!
Oh my! That beautiful white farmhouse, at the end of your video, I would live in and restore in a heartbeat!!! ❤❤❤❤
Wonderhussy. I was born in the USG owned mining town of Empire, northwest, NV. It’s a ghost town now and would love to see you visit the site and share what’s still there. Also, how about visiting Pyramid Lake and Fly Ranch Geyser? I’d certainly appreciate it to help the memory of the stories my father told. Stay awesome.
Where did all the miners go? California?
You got along great with the people in the bar;maybe it's worth asking who owns that house and could it be bought? GOOD place to live during the Summer Months,GOOD starting place for more explorations. Sounds like the friends you made there would be glad to have you as a resident.
Why did I know you were going to break out in, "Surrey With the Fringe on Top"? You sing it great and I find myself humming the song every once in a while because of you.
The truck, tractor is an IH Transtar 4070B cab over. 1979 or 1980. Most likely powered by a Cummins 350 and. 13 speed transmission. It is a sleeper which means it has nice wide bed behind the driver. They were great trucks
The Transtar 11 came out in 1981.
The red building said "Water Works" on the outside,so it is/was a Pump Station.
In the 1920's to the 1940's, my family helped run the Case Mercantile Store that was in the Paradise Valley Bar for many years...
I will ALWAYS be in love with northern Nevada. So many memories so many great times.
I love old houses. They have so much character and were mad to last
The Transtar II looks to be a 1979 vintage tractor. I used to work for IHC and love the old and new Semi Trucks. Really cool.
I looked up Paradise valley, Nv and the pictues on Google were done in 2010 and that truck was there then. Nver moved.
I love your videos. So interesting, especially the old homes and businesses.
Building with double doors to nowhere may have been a barn. If so, doors may have been in the hay mow. Rancher would toss hay out doors to wagon below.
I’
Nice Job! Take me down to paradise city where the grass is green and the girls are pretty. Opps I mean paradise Valley.
So cool! I want to go there! Amazes me how big such a small dwelling used to be! Thank you for the explore
Another enjoyable video. Suggestion, start your videos with a map to orient your audience. Happy New Year!
Always great videos by her!!!
Another great one....thank you very much
Thanks for putting this up! One of your best videos. Ody Slim
Nice little town you can see how it was in the old days intresting all the old stuff and cars 👍great video again thanx for charring .
Awesome location! Loved seeing the old buildings and especially the cars. The International Transtar truck was from about 1974-77, I used to ride along with my step dad from Cincinnati, OH to Tampa, FL. A lot of great memories :)
That machine was a corn separator. Put your corn cobs in it and turn the crank, corn come off the cob.
Thank you, good to know. That's one good thing about going on these adventures with Sarah and other Urban (& Wilderness) Explorers, we learn interesting information about outdated or obscure things and places.
U could have asked the peeps in the tavern if u could have looked around at and in the buildings?! On ya Hussy I like your adventures.
Outstanding vid Hussy and you're awfully cute in the cold too!
Loved it. My grandmother had one of the old washer machines. I remember her showing me how they used to do the washing. It was amazing. Lots of hard work. I so wish to join you one day on these adventures. It looks so much fun.
It's a beautiful stream of consciousness. She is smart, talented, inquisitive and wise. Few could ad lib as well and It's especially cute to hear her ponder a strange piece of machinery or building structure.
I lived in Winnemucca in the 50s. I was there often. Found my first arrowhead there in '54. Paradise Valley was a paradise until the tourists and gollygawkers found it. Sorry to see it in its current state. Used to be a Paradise.
Not the yellow Jeep but the Second one was an WW2 Ford Jeep yes Ford made Jeeps as part of the war effort. The vehicle next to it is a very rare REO Speedwagon.
Dear Ms. Wonderhussy
Just finished watching your vid,, brings back some good memories, "Back in my Younger Days", not far from Paradise Valley is a even smaller town called Denio,,right on the border of Nevada and Oregon ,, I worked on a ranch called the Alder Creek,,that bar in town was a place you could find a job working as a Wrangler,, some of the guys I remember were 1961 Nevada State Champion Saddle Bronc , Harold Chapin, Buzz Seeley,Chet Morrison, Bob Shields, he was from Black Foot, Idaho Bob made really good Bronc Saddles, , I remember one week end Harold came out to the ranch to work cattle and he got Bucked off,,lmao,, thats the kind of horses we had to ride, :-)
I got drafted in 1965 so that put an end to my Rodeoing , p.s. they have a Hot Spring there also "Bog Hot Spring"
Anyway
Have a Good Day
Very interesting young lady! That last house - as soon as you showed it - yes I agree that it might be a fun one to fix up and such if the price was good and if the house was structurally sound. Cool visit - video! Thanks! :-)
great video
Thanks for all your videos on Northwest Nevada I live in Oregon but I’m down there most of my life tracking old wagon trails I was at Stevens cabin in massacre Ranch this weekend I’m going back down at the end of May I hope to see you sometime I can teach you how to say Denio
I just found your channel and love your videos.
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS......BE CAREFUL AND SAFE MY FRIEND.
I agree we need to show more respect. I respect you more and more as I get to know you
Loved your little song about stage coach. if offered ,I would live in that old house for free .Stay safe in all you do
cool video, wounder hussie. Looking forward to more great adventure
New subscriber,here.You find the most interesting places.You’re extremely brave,too. You are adorable,witty,highly intelligent and entertaining.
Wow! Truly enjoyed the scenes mostly due to the snow and season you visited. The old trees were nice to see. Just knowing that area was full of Life with people, horses and whatever. Maybe there are a few ghosts lurking!
Such a great adventure, exploring Paradise Valley!!!
The double doors up high were for wagons with hay, they stacked hay high on wagons. They would pull up under it and they would throw it there and stack it up in the hay loft which was the second floor on a barn. Ha ha ha ha stripper pole!! That’s to hold the upper floor up. It must have started to sag, stripper pole hahahaha! Hollymatic was a meat grinder. Did you ever watch the Texas chainsaw massacre? You should.
YIKES! Holy Moly!
My kind of town. Another reason I will ALWAYS love Nevada, especially northern Nevada.
I've trucked from Saint Paul to most of the country and Canada in a Transtar with my dad in 70's. Flatbedin. Harsh ride! My own Wonderhussy adventure.
The last time I was in Paradise was 1981. The FBI was looking for Claude Dallas and prostitution was legal. The town was founded initially as a Pony Express stop. On Friday night when I got there, the main street was closed as there was a street party going on with all the local cowboys and shepherds in town having fun and drinking.
This is a cool old town !
Well...they're not looking for him anymore, he served his time for killing 2 Idaho officers , and he's kinda disappeared ,probably to escape the ire of folks that thought he should have been executed .
Thomas Kincaid has a gallery on main Street in my hometown, Placerville (Old Hangtown) in Northern California . Located on hiway 50 between Sacramento and South Lake Tahoe. Come check us out.
Great video! Next time I need a lead for Oklahoma! I will give you a call LOL Oh, and I totally bought a Thomas Kinkaid puzzle for my mother for Christmas.
That basement looked like a blacksmith/shop of sorts.
Cool town :)
Great video, nice place. Thanks!.
On my list. Thanks for the tour.
a city with a lot of potential 👍
Nice no broken windows or graffiti, your videos are really addictive.
Another excellent video as usual...!
Paradise Valley is nice. The kids who live there... want to leave though (well, perhaps not uniformly, but figuratively...). Can you imagine emo kids in rural Nevada? I think it costs a lot more to live there than you could imagine. Ranches flank the town, and the buildings aren't for sale.
At any rate, Thanks for the upload. I like Paradise Valley too. No one mentions that Edna Purviance (a silent film star) is from Paradise Valley. Oh, and you missed the town's imposing school.
That's a neat little town , Wonderhussy ridding in a stagecoach is like first class , like driving a cadalic,fun!😉
Merry Christmas WH,Fantastic sitting here watching your fine work as the outside air is going below Zero,,,You warm my heart,Get my bucket list filled and just really dig traveling with you...(Bugy ),Your 4Runner is looking sweet! Stay Safe ,Travel well.TY88s
Sarah, I saw a fellow go over his trek beginning with a map.. He pointed out where his destination was on an "old-fashioned" map. It would be to some exciting; some still think spactially. Whatever. :) (All those relics are amazing aren't they? Many of those unique [even machine like] things are circa 1940'. Such a tactile age/ How sad. This invisible hell.)
Thank God no graffiti........nice video
Thanks wonder husssy ! Another great vid!
This has to be one of bestvideos I've seen yet! Great tour, loved your solo, great humor, tour of the bar, the old buildings and houses were all interesting. FYI, another youtuber has a similar visit to an old town in Kentucky I think it was. He found several abandoned houses, buildings, even a bank, and they all had stuff inside of them. He asked a local about it and was told that the townspeople have a large annual sale which is attended by huge crowds. They use the abandoned bldgs to store the stuff for the big sale. Thanks again, be safe.
Ditto. Amundo!! Me too 😂
The doors on the 2nd !evel may be a way to get out if snow is deep. I've seen an old house here in CO that was built by a miner who had lived in the mountains and that is why he put doors on the 2nd story, even though he didn't know snow would not get that deep closer to Denver.
They actually are for throwing down hay. You store it above to keep it dry, and it's just easier to throw it down to the livestock. We had one on our barn.
@@mdiddio Yup, usually with an extendable beam/pulley arrangement to hoist hay up there, too. Although I will admit - I was stationed in the Air Force in Upper Michigan, and when the snow piled up we'd exit our barracks from the second floor fire escape. It was faster and easier to trudge across 10' snow pack than to follow the carved out canyons that maintenance cleared out on the first floor sidewalks.
great video, in time, Happy new year WH !!!
That was a fun video, I love winter road trips!
Thank you so much for the videos I really look forward to seeing him you have yourself a good good New Year's and keep up the good work thank you so much
I wish I had the money and time to travel the back roads of the country and see all the old ghost towns, historical sites, and old history.
wooooooooooo.....Winnemucca, hope u had a good xmas,,,happy new year as well
Creepy guy, creepy door, creepy celler, creepy stairs, creepy doorway......it’s all so.....creepy. :)
Love your videos! If you want to know some secret hot springs around Boise and southeastern Oregon let me know.
Interesting town I wonder how much it would cost to Buy one of those old buildings Like the on with the stripper pole and huge basement. any ways Loved your video very cool. Just be careful not to run a muck a, down in Winnemucca Nevada. The Sheriff will arrest ya! :))
Wow great vid happy new year John uk 🇬🇧
the American Pickers would pay good money for that Goodyear sign. that first Jeep is from the mid 50,s i think. that one next to what i think is a model T is what is called a flat fender from 1941 to the late 40,s early 50,s my parents still have a wringer washing machine that my mom uses every now and then.
I really liked that 2nd Jeep! The washers were both Maytags one was electric the other was gas operated with a kick starter. they had cast aluminum tubs and many are still in use in areas with Amish.
Holy cow I didn't know there were gas powered washers back in the day!
lilorbie lilorbie I thought the very same thing when I saw that GoodYear sign, American pickers , great minds think alike..
Apocyl Doomer is it great minds think alike or sick minds think alike.? just kidding. i don,t know who has the better job .Mike and Frank for finding that stuff or Rick Dale in Las Vegas who gets to bring it back to better than new condition. the problem i would if i had the pickers job. i would find something cool and not ever want to sell it . i would go in the hole pretty quick i think. i met Rick and Kelly about 3 years ago. really nice people.
Interesting town great job
WOW I'd pay good money for those jeeps and the old car!
Once again, great tour of an old, this time, semi-ghost town. That white house is a shame it is abandoned, it looks really pretty from the outside. I don't believe in ghosts either, but I do believe in big cockroaches and they terrify me. LOL If I were an urban explorer, there is only one way I would do it, would need to wear an Hazmat suit and would be spraying insecticide all over the place. Hey, that's just me...
