Wonder is such a joy. Coming from DESERTLESS Cape Cod Mass. I love the desert stories she tells. Wonder is truly a NATIONAL TREASURE!!!
She surely is 💖🇺🇲👍
I can't stop thinking about the hot springs oasis north of Las Vegas you showed several weeks ago. It was so beautiful and peaceful that it enchanted me. It was the one that had the little endangered fish in it.
Two thumbs way up on this little excursion.
She does a great job and makes it fun, I haven't seen everything she does, but will as I go along, im 75 over the years I've been to lot of places dhe goes but learned from her experiences, I would wish she would take a few more precautions I do worry about her well fare, she says she doesn't believe in God but I pray for her anyway
"Our Lady of the Mohave Desert" Just wanted to say I really enjoyed the rustic framing and artistic effort put into that, awesome!
You singing "Water" brought back memories of my youth. My mom loved that song. But while you were singing, I couldn't help but notice all the freaking dern off-road tire tracks. Seeing those made me both sad and angry. Some people are so stupid. The deserts have sufficient areas for them to off-road with out them tearing up otherwise, pristine areas and playing at being a wild west shoot em up gunslinger on their steeds of rubber and steel while shooting up everything in sight. That totally makes me so mad. They could care less about the damage they create. It ruins the beauty of being in the desert. Those people will never learn and when it's all gone, they will be first to complain.
I love what you do and what you can by showing people the simple, harsh beauty of the desert. Your videos are outstanding and make me home sick to be in the desert again. Thank you for all you do!
It's a small minority of the off roaders.
Every group - no matter what group it is, will have a few aholes.
1:35 Ah yes, Lake Manley. I remember it well. Fred, Barney, Bam Bam, Pebbles and I used to fish for corbina on its tranquil waters while pterosaurs glided overhead and a random T-rex prowled the shore looking for smaller therapods to munch on. Yes, those were the days. That cabin you explored is all that remains of our hunting camp. Seems like only yesterday.
Wonderhussy, I know it's been challenging for you to bring us content in the midst of all the turmoil and life changes you are dealing lately, and throw in ONE pandemic and you have the unenviable task of getting real creative with your immediate surroundings in the "valley of death" and let me just say... you fucking own the ability to keep your followers engaged! I for one am so appreciative of the effort you are making to keep things interesting. I am not a youtuber and I have no editing experience but I know from watching many of you guys that editing is one huge time consuming PITA! please know that at least one of your followers would tune in to your channel if all you did was sit down for dinner and talk about your day. Yes you are that much fun! please accept my gratitude for making a lonely old retired navy man a little less lonely and bored. 😘
Please, don't ever sell out to the media at large. You're so talented, quirky, funny, knowledgeable, and so fun to watch, and I would hate to think of the common media controlling your non conformist, and free spirited style. It never ceases to amaze me how you gained such a wide knowledge of music which I myself am also a connoisseur of, but am 60, and I think you may have more knowledge than myself. Shite, I actually just turned 61, but that's old age for ya. 🤣👍✌💚
Happy 61st birthday, Tom! 🎂
Yes Tom Happy birthday 🎂 🥳
@@jolenecreech7648 Thank you, just need to make it to 62 now. 😁
@@phyllismcmullen7910 Thank you, and a Happy Birthday to you also, and Jolene when your days come.👍✌
@@TOM-C. Haha 😆. No sweat! You got this!
Wonderhussy, you are full of wonder. Intellectual, with a huge dose of curiosity! It's so much fun tagging along with you on your adventures. Thank you so much for everything you do!
I love your visits to so many interesting locations, from the coast to the desert. I live vicariously through you!
Julia I agree with you wholeheartedly., I live the same way. But I really chose this place to comment because it's close to the top of the list. As I went through the list to add a comment, it is bottomless. I wanted to tell ms. Hussy (I love her name) that you can tell a saltcedar, or tamarack just by putting a few leaves,(needles) in your mouth. They are pleasantly salty. I grew up with them. I feel communion with her followers.
Pioneers walked nearly the whole way across the country. The wagons were for their farming tools and household things and food for the journey.
Great video, my friend and I went there and he stayed with the car while I walked down to the water. Did not know there was more to see farther down. Someday I’ll take the whole hike.
I love it when you sing !
Oh where oh where is kitty today, so SarahJane, hows kitty doing , please update us!
🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥The SWAMP COOLER took the kitty video down, it’s erased🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥
Your rendition of 'Water' was amazing. I haven't heard that song in years.
I have never gone that far back there. I just stopped at the water. Can't wait to check it all out next time.
I was thinking exactly the same thing Wonderhussy; WHO DOES THAT?!
OK Wonderhussy sang a song from the 'Sons of the Pioneers'. As if she wasn't super cool enough already.
Yeah,she's great ain't she!
Has she been to pioneer town?
I still have the original release on vinyl !
@@jeffpalmer5502 one of those round things? With the little tiny grooves?
I knew the family of " The Sons Of The Pioneers in Majestic in Orange County ca. They built a log cabin & we came upon it hicking in the 70s frying on Good L.S.D. we met some of the family. Hidden waaay back in the hills .Trabuco Canyon would be a starting place...or Cooks Corner .
I remember when i was a kid in the 80’s Before they barred up the mines there. I even went to school in Tecopa in 4 & 5th grade
Your always entertaining and amazing to watch... Keep it up desert girl !
These kinds of videos are the best, the history and exploring and just seeing you walking is great. 👍❤🇺🇸
agree!
I liked that one Wonderhussy. Thank you.
Thanks Sarah! I live Nevada through you :)
So did you bring your cat back in the house !!!!!
Dang......I had to scroll a long way down in the comments to find the first cat Karen.
the "North American Cholo" is known to leave his chicken scratch marks on everything it touches
Dogs have to piss on everything to mark their territory.
2 a.m here in Ohio.. Just your regular insomniac counting down how many hrs of sleep I would get If I fell asleep RIGHT NOW b4 I gotta wake up for work.. and I'll prob keep doing that until I realize it's now down to 2-3 hrs of sleep. So thanks WH you've just made the nightly countdown a lil more entertaining.
Sarah you have a great singing voice . Thanks for showing us around these places 😊
Hey Sarah, I be watching your videos now for over two years. I enjoy the adventure and informative information you bring to this channel. Thanks see you down the road.
That stone cabin is amazing and to look out those portals and imagine the view they had !
There’s one very similar out in the El Paso mountains, overlooking Last Chance Canyon up a side canyon where people still live !
It's been a long time since I went through the the Mohave desert. But it had recently rained there and the entire desert was covered with flowers. Hard to believe how many animals live there. Especially owls that hunt all the rats. Thanks for the videos.
Wow....new Shades.....love em
Thank you so much sis wonderhussy for sharing this awesome desert Salt Hill it is so beautiful magical thank you so much for sharing this have a great day and be safe sincerely Suszie🌞💜💜💞💞😻
Excellent documentary, welk done Sarah! Thanks!
You def glowing with happiness! You make Death Valley a better place!
Very cool. Back in the pioneer days if you missed a water hole you were pretty much done.
I remember that song, but you left out the best part - “He’s a Devil not a Man, and he spreads
the burning sand for Water”. Kudos for the lilting refrain though - “Water….water….”. I vaguely
recall its use in an advertising campaign for something, some montage or barrage of mirage.
Very COOL Thank you Wonder Hussy💕💕💕💕💕
Great explore...and right in your "back yard"(8-). Nice bit of history too. And folks in the comments explained about those salt cedar trees. But like some other species, those who
brought them over here from elsewhere didn't know at the time what a mess they'd become. Anyway, thanks for a great video, Wonderhussy..and thanks to the other viewers for
the added data.
Yes to add insult to injury on the Colorado River they "had some bugs accidentally released " that would only eat tamerisik and stop at a certain latitude. Sure they will! They killed the trees ok but it takes a while for the Cottonwood trees to come back and all the creatures that live alongside the river left or died. You can check this out.
Absolutely !!! Thanks Hussy!
I love to follow your adventure in the Mojave! ThomyT
In my youth, i took a college marine biology class and one field trip was to a coastal marsh land not far from Pacific palisades in Ca., that was within site of the ocean. The instructor spent a lot of time talking about marshland and how birds use it in migration, a critical part of their lifecycle. This was in 1973. That marshland is long gone turned into McMansions..
😕
Wonderful and beautiful presentation! I found it very calming. Thank you
Really enjoyed your videos thanks for taking us through the history of the mofiho desert
I believe that nicely arched deadend was the holding room for dynamite or blasting caps.
Your a gem Wonderhussy!!
Bobcats aren't really the ones you need to worry about. Mountain Lions are a definite concern. Bobcats would just as soon avoid you.
Thank you WH .Very professionally presented . Informative , interesting , and entertaining !!!!
What a cool place!
Oh it's lovely 😍
Beautiful...
I love your videos
Amazing place and commentary !thank you stay safe
I'd love to sit down with you and watch every western movie ever made
Wonderhussy, you have new shades.
Another excellent adventure, love the history of the old rock houses. P.S. Where is your water?
Be safe little sister.
Kept remembering old Marty Robbins songs while you were bouncing along.
They had to have the Salt Cedars for firewood.
Cool Water song is also on Marty Robbins Gunfighter/Trail Songs album. Source of Big Iron, heard in Fallout game.
Thanks wonder woman.
I love your glasses. On the walk up there it was like watching a movie in a movie through them.
Surprised nobody else was there. Your pretty Brave to go it alone.
Your bamboo like reeds are called Equisetum, or Horsetails. It tends to grow any wet place nothing else will grow. It's a bit of a living fossil having been around for about a 100 million years.
Sarah one of your best videos really enjoyed every second of it . Keep them coming lady your a pleasure to watch thanks 😊
Great stuff. Love you and your video edutainment.
Gotta love those late night drops. my fave channel
I love you're pumping these out and I hope you get a wonder...ful check for Christmas. We will view as much as possible. Happy Thanksgiving, you are on our thankful list 🥰✌
Shes got a lot of work to do on that death valley compound - time to get to work.
@@csmith2535 😊😊👍
How u all forget the kitty......unbelievable
🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥The SWAMP COOLER’s kitty is history🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥
Loved your video presentation!!
Another great video, don't know how you do it all by yourself.
Here in Oklahoma they also have a Cedar tree eradication program for the same reason……. they suck up tons of water.
Thanks for sharing.. Warmed me up just knowing to were someplace warmer than here.
The salt creek hills certainly had some history behind it. Nice walking tour and content SJ!☝️👆👍🙂😎
Around 00:15:00 you mentioned the song "Cool Water" sung by The Sons of the Pioneers, funny, but in the early 1950's (when I was born) my dad was a USAF pilot at Davis Monthan AFB in Tucson where he and several of his "Pilot Pals" had a Barber Shop Quartet and they actually recorded that song on 78 rpm vinyl records for their own personal use, not for sale. One of the singers was Lt Col. Henry John Deutschendorf Sr., (eventually a famed B-58 "hustler" record setting pilot), there are some youtube government vids that talk about and show him). (To make a short story LONG) Lt Col Henry John Deutschendorf Sr was the father of the once well know folk singer JOHN DENVER. ... and that's the rest of the story. lol
great video wh.. best wishes and good look..
You are special ! Enjoy every video.
'Maybe I'll be inspired to check it [Salt Creek Hills] out too?" Yeah, no. That's why I watch YOU doing it! LoL
Hi "Our Lady Of The Mojave Desert" (smiles & hug) In my opinion ("which don't amount 2 much") I thought this was one of the best videos ever. Un...huh. That green mirage winding through that desert was what "Stories Of The West" were made of. And, U Pretty Woman captured it ALL in voice & video. (wink)
"THANK YOU SARAH JANE" for enlightening me on Tamarisk trees & LIFE. (hug)
GOD BLESSES ALL.
A suggestion on your house in the desert is to rent or borrow a thermal imaging camera to scan your walls and ceiling to see where your hot spots are. I would scan in the morning, noon, and evening. This will give an indication where you should insulate. Try this idea to see if it will work in reducing the heat on the walls; hang a tarp from edge of your eave and anchor to the ground there should be space between the tarp and your house. This air gap should prevent heat being transferred to the wall.
I love the Desert! We’re going to drive down 395 and cut over thru Death Valley on the way to Vegas.
Watch out ringtail cats, kinkajous, and coati mundi
Love the new glasses Sarah Jane.
I love what you do . From Wyo
Good explore Wounderhussy, thank you for sharing.
It's said that Tamarisk is harder than Oak and almost as hard as Ironwood. It is not easly cut and is hard on chainsaws. It is tough to split for firewood and burns longer than Eucalyptus.
135 Excavator with bucket Thumb Attachment for the large Tamarisk, Carrizzo Gorge, Anza Borrego State Parks
They will reduce a chainsaw's blade tips to dull nubs in no time,
Hey WH - we have a few oasis here in the Anza Borrego desert - Palm Canyon is particularly lush with lots of palms and pools, but there are others.
You are amazing at making videos! All the history rocks. It is part of why we love you.
You always have a method to your madness. Lol
Wonderhussy or WonderHottie? I chose the ladder. Said the guy over the internet.
Where’s nunee?
That was awesome...thanks
Hamming it up on a Wednesday night 14:37
I am surprised that you didn’t mention how the burros have left evidence of their use of the water hole. I walked that same trail a week before you and saw the same bullet riddled sign - so cool to see what I saw then, now on your video.
You were sooo close to a geocache at the ‘cabin’.
Cool, clear 💦!!!! Loved that song as a kid. Haven’t heard it in a long time! Great memories… thank you 🙏 WH. Still love it 😊 when you belt out a tune or two! 🎵 🎵💜
@10:50, In my part of the Mojave, we call those Athel trees.
A LITTLE late in the day for a 2nd video dump but several thousand folks have already enjoyed the bonus story.
Ken Curtis (Festus) from Gunsmoke sang with the Sons of the Pioneers.
Saltpeter and Asshole Trees. How cool.
What a location
Thank you for the tour.
Thank you for putting some joy and intelligence into the void that surrounded me and my batch of home made biscuits. A cold rain had driven me in to the cabin and biscuits were my only comfort until I clicked on your video and made a cup of hot buttered scotch with honey. Chills and lonliness both are gone. Thank you Sarah, I truly enjoy your voice and fanciful, intelligent descriptions of your adventures. Smiling, George.
Hot whiskey lemonade is my favorite. But usually reserved for hay fever season, when I have a scratchy throat.
Skull varnish too, but I forgot that recipe.
I was just out there a week ago and drove past this area without stopping. I’ll definitely do the hike next time.
So Lovely to watch you walk us back though the history of this harsh and rugged buity, and give a rebirth to those past brave addventiutists, your video
Is like watering the desert
it blooms once again.
Sarah what amazing place Salt Creek Hills plus your knowledge of the Hills I ❤️ ❤️❤️ I also enjoy your adventures with your beautiful smile and up beat on how you present the video👍👍❤️❤️❤️
