I can’t help but think of Sarah as a modern day Huell Howser with the places she goes and people she meets and stories she tells.
Yes, now I realize my subconscious was telling me that.
I think she's actually a huge fan of Huell Howser...I think she talked about him and featured his house, too. If my memory serves, she draws her inspiration from his show or something along those lines.
I remember Huell covering Lone Pine! My departed husband and I waited for him to say: "Wow!" with glee. Wonderhussy is appreciated!
Ah Sarah, it was SO nice meeting you! I can’t wait to get started on your piece. Thanks for dropping in on our little town!!
Sarah has a magnetic personality and is way beyond cute. No wonder she has a constant parade of men, and some women follow her around. Yes, I'm jealous like everyone else.
not "everyone" is jealous of the Huss 🤸🏼
I am😮😊
Absolutely 💯 agree
I've found memories of lone pine. Ms wonder is gifted.
Yep she does that!! 🥰🥰😃😃
That was Jay Silverheels who played Tonto. He was a full blooded Mohawk not Italian.
Jay Silverheels was born Harold Jay Smith in Canada, on the Six Nations of the Grand River, near Brantford, Ontario He was a grandson of Mohawk Chief A. G. Smith and Mary Wedge
“Tonto”
Silverheels was Tonto!
god bless you and all the rest of the people who help the helpless burrors
The burros are soo cool , out at saleene valley hotsprings the left over burros cruise around there , after 4-6 days they become friends & sleep outside of your tent / camp . They were talking about removing them from Death Valley , not sure if they have ?
Always wondered why people kept donkeys around. They seemed just hay burners to me. Asked around and it turns out donkeys are kinda smart and have been known to beat up on trespassing coyotes, wild dogs and even the occasional mountain lion. Go Donkeys!
OMG what a lovely video you made! THANK YOU for your support and extra thank you for coming to Lone Pine. It's our favorite town, it's super nice any time of year. We truly hope to see you soon again! Maybe you come to Run With The Burros! ♥
My mother lived there up near a gold mine, she lived in a travel trailer and pulled it with a 67 T bird, she was crazy but she was wonderful, I miss her, but great memories.
🤍
Your mom sounds badass and like such an awesome lady! Would have loved to have met her.
What a delightful community and video. Thanks, Sarah. This was very special. I loved it.
Great story teller and at the same time she’s educating her followers on every place she goes. It’s a great adventure. I would of loved to move around like she does. Definitely enjoy every video she posts.
Being around burros, Im sure they had a breeding population from the Mexicans in the 1600s as they run away to be wild and breed well. Granted prospectors died regularly too abandoned by the burros.
Love videos like this. You should do more of them in the small towns. Jay Silverheels was Tonto in The Lone Ranger
One of the most famous stuntmen of the old Western movie era was Yakima Canutt. He was born in Colfax Washington and was friends with my great uncle, Shorty Barclays, who was a varsity lineman for The Washington State College which became known as Washington State University. My great uncle was 6’9” and just over 210 pounds. He looked like a basketball player in a football uniform in his college football days. My family had a wheat farm and horse ranch just outside of Pullman, Washington. I spent my summers there as a kid, and it was heaven!
Thank you for sharing 🤍
I was just going to say 210 lbs for 6'9" sounds almost skinny. My senior year of high school I weighed in at 305 and was 6'8" he sounded more like a basketball player.
Are you talking about CWSC? The one in Ellensburg? My Mom & Dad went to that college. I live in Yakima , & never heard of Yakima Canutt. Always nice to learn something new about where I have lived for the most part of my life. by the way, I'm 72.
@@latachia_2981 No. At one point, WSU was a college, and named that way. Later it became a university. As for Yakima Canutt, his given name was Enos , I believe. The Canutt family were horse ranchers in Colfax. According to my grandmother, Yakima taught John Wayne how to some simple horse stunts at the beginning of his career in film. She claimed that John was interviewed later in his life and gave Yakima credit for helping start his own career in westerns.
Canutt probably knew my great uncle Les Cooper. He was Gene Audreys stunt double, owned Dunmovin(now a ghost town off 395), rescued young women from Manson and became a lawyer who helped prosecute Manson. Wonderhussy did a video on Dunmovin but totally got the story wrong but no way for her to know. Uncle Les and his wife were original Angels of the Mohave.
Givin' love to the burros🥕🫏🌯
I am the luckiest guy on the planet. Got to grow up with these cowboy heroes not just on TV but in person. I grew up where they filmed a vast majority of these TV western shows of the 50's-70's, Thousand Oaks, CA. And if that wasn't cool enough, my Uncle was the man who provided the cattle to the movie industry. He was a real wrangler and ranch foreman of the oldest and biggest ranch in the Conejo Valley. That ranch was the Russell Ranch then renamed Albertson Ranch and was turned into what is now Westlake Village, CA. In regards to Miller's Towing, one of my work colleagues worked there as a tow truck operator in the early 80's. He said living in a small town was a blessing and a curse. LOL
Thank you for sharing, great info 💓
Jay Silverstone was Tonto The Indian in Long Ranger he used to say kemosabe
Brian is super hunky, I know you don’t share personal stuff…but I hope a date is in the future 😍💛
Hi from NSW Australia. I admire the Hussy. True Blue American Gal. ♥
Leave it to Sarah to make lemonade out of lemons! She went over there for a parade that turned out to be a lot smaller than expected and ended up with a 30 minute video! Congratulations on the new T-shirts as well!
Hopefully the video will generate new interest with all the views.
I think the wooden chest plate was for when a stuntman had to get dragged by a horse after getting "shot".
Brian is very handsome! (hint hint) What a great store it’s gonna be! How sweet of him to create a light fixture for you.
Small world, in the 60's I went to Grant Elementary school here in Riverside, CA. with the nephew of Tom Mix, his name was Rod Mix, we hung out as we were two of the few that were bullied at school! 😁👍😎✌🗽
🎉 HOW COOL WAS THAT TO MEET BRIAN!
🙂🤍👍😀🧡👏😎🤍🎉🍾💚👏🥳💜🎊🤍🪅❤️
The best days of my youth were spent in Lone Pine with my dad. Miss ya Pop.
🤍
Sorry for your loss. You will treasure those memories for the rest of your life and your dad’s spirit lives on in your heart. 💕
I lived in and around Newhall, CA (nowadays part of Santa Clarita) in the '60s. High on a hill, there, is the mansion of cowboy actor William S. Hart, which you can visit and see all his cowboy art treasures. A while before he died (1946, I believe), he financed the town's movie house where I used to go on Saturday afternoons to watch monster movies, not westerns.
I live there now , since 1982, his musieum is still here.
I love visiting the William S Hart museum house that it is now. It's so beautiful inside!
My dad always took me there! Such fun
Newhall massacre
Hart High School there is named after him as well.
My favorite area of the Eastern Sierra
How sweet was meeting Brian? He definitely wants to see you again if he’s talking about making you a custom light. Good for you❤❤❤
Kinda want a burro now theyvseem very chill
As a kid my family always drove past the Roy Rogers museum. Parents never wanted to stop. So one year I took my kids when we were out on a adventure. I figured we would be in there an hour or so. We were there for almost 5 hours. There was so much to see and do. It was such a shame when they closed it down. Thanks for your cool video from LP.
The Rogers family lived ( and filmed) in Chatsworth, CA before they moved to Apple Valley. Chatsworth had a couple of movie ranches in the Simi Hills/Santa Susanna Mountains. One of them was Spahn Ranch, infamous because the Manson family lived there for a while. The ranch is visited by the Brad Pitt character (a stuntman) in Once upon a time in Hollywood (mentioned by Wonderhussy in this video). Bruce Dern plays the invalid Spahn. Spahn ranch no longer exists (cut in two by CA-118 in the very late '60s, etc), so the movie scenes were filmed at a nearby, preserved, movie ranch.
I think most of that was moved to Branson, MO wasn't it ? I recall an auction by his son 'Rusty' (?) a few years ago.
You bring us proof of existence of wonderful places in the USA, along with the amazing people and lifestyles! Thank You!
That is a cool place like
Sarah Jane, Brian was so cute! I love how he said he'd been waiting for you to walk by! I hope you go visit him again when he gets the shop set up!
Two wow
The TV show "Death Valley Days" had the 20 Borax Mules across its introduction. It was one of the greatest historical TV shows that told about the history of Death Valley..
I was a burro owner when I was young they are smart and sure footed . Mine got kicked out of a place I used to board him at because one day he opened every stall door for the horses and let them all out lol. I also remember going to apple valley Roy Roger's museum and at the time I had been camping at mojave narrows and was 8 months pregnant but my ex husband and I decided to check out the museum anyways well I was walking around looking at the displays and as I walked around the corner I almost walked head on into Roy Roger's himself. He was so nice he just stuck out his hand to shake mine and said " well howdy mam " pretty unforgettable memory for sure.
I love those small towns that often get overlooked in California. Great town and wonderful people!💕
I love Westerns! Especially the Virginian, Rifleman, the Big Valley…those were the days!
I've been watching a lot of episodes of " The Virginian " lately, it's been a real treat .
Hello there from Kansas
Speaking of Tom Mix, tomorrow (October 12th) marks 83 years since his passing. There's a ravine called Tom Mix Wash here in Arizona, south of Florence where he went off the road (State Route 79) in his car.
The Jack Ass Miners as they were called, usually only stayed out for 30 days at a time. They all carried pretty much the same supplies. They had this down to a science. 30 days worth of supplies along with their equipment was all the burro could carry. But that was a lot considering their tools, food, a tent, bedding and cooking supplies. I hope to own a burro some day soon.
19:28 Jay Silverheels was a Canadian Mohawk native from the Six Rivers Nation. You’re thinking of Iron Eyes Cody who was Sicilian by way of New Orleans LA.
Hey thanks for the flashback. I went to school @ LPHS back in the 70's.
I love this video it brings back memories of my childhood. In Wisconsin some 53 years ago I use to go with my parents to watch baseball games. They trained burros(donkeys) to play baseball. It was the most awesome experience ever. The donkeys were even more talented than current day multi millionaire baseball players lol. I wish I had videos but were kinda poor back then. These donkeys knew how to use a baseball bat (of course human pitchers) they ran bases and well there wasn't anything they couldn't do. Donkeys are so so super intelligent and trainable. Thank you Wonderhussy as always you are super cool.
Thank you for sharing 🤩 🤍
In the 70's my late dad played in a donkey basketball game🏀. He was a longtime reserve officer, so it was the rookie cops V the veteran cops, and his handsome donkey was named Chester. My older sisters made a crazy shirt for dad that read Pride Integrity Guts.😅 Dad could barely jump up on his ass.😂
I also saw a donkey baseball game. One player was a genius, hanging a🥕out in front of his pardner.
Pure awesomeness, thanks for the close up views of Lone Pine, it would be such a treat to see you walking around doing your thing! Adventure on!
I watched many of those old TV shows. Another great vid!
Now that’s some fine ass.
The donkeys weren’t bad either. 😂
Bravo Sarah, another fabulously fun cool production ! Thank you so much ♥️
Jack Elam was an Old time cowboy that showed up in many many of the old western movies, and quite a few newer ones as well ;)
Great trout fishing there believe it or not.
Thanks for recognizing us stuntmen also.
Ole Roy Rodgers in the house!!!!
Fun stuff .
I got to ride my horse on a wagon train 100 miles threw the Ozarks .
John Henry Shadock wagon train .
To start the Rodeo season
Harsion to Springdale Arkansas.
I got to live a cow girl life years ago .
Have fun . Love the Burros
I was "The UPS Guy" in Lone pine from about 1984 to about 2005 ... it is so nice to see Lone Pine again , and to also see Kathy Miller ! Wow ! I watched their kids grow up all those years .... amazing ! 👍
Jay Silverheels played “Tonto” on the lone ranger series
Now are you going to be at Beatty Days in Nevada and geek out on even more burros?
This was an especially fun episode! Made me laugh multiple times. Seems you’re quite popular in Lone Pine & had not even been aware of it. 😹. The little towns of Independence & Big Pine are fun as well. That’s a neat area.
-> My teacher & Army Dad sure loved Highway 395, & loved Lone Pine, Big Pine, Independence, & Etc. Thank you, "Wander-Hussy", WH Sarah, for showing us all the Fun There!! Glad you got to participate, & Enjoy It All!! Divine Angelic Safeguarding, & Many Abundant, Ultimate Blessings, ALL!! 😻🙇🏻♀️🙏🏼🕊️👼🏻🌄🌻🌞
All your video's are great but this one is Great+.
Great Video! The Lady at Miller Towing was so Cool, Looks like a really nice town. Glad You had fun time there. 👍👍
Thank God for all the people preserving America's Western history.... ( including the movies) America wouldn't be America without it. I hope some younger people take up the mantel and keep it for future generations.
👍♥️
Sarah always takes over the Interview. Where's your Cowboy hat?
I miss Lone Pine.
I had that same wooden box TV. It's a mid 80s style but there was an array of years in that display. 50s to the 80s. Brought back memories. Good memories. . .
Great little town I was there in 1969 then headed back to Riverside California would fresh bread and water in a 1951 Ford
Lone Pine looks like an oasis. By the way - i had Jay Silverheels autograph.
# 2 now that was a fun day - for every one.
A true desert movie star ⭐️
Brian's cute, you better get his digits!!!
Yes all of us ghost town locals like Randsburg, Johannesburg and Red Mountain etc would love to know when Kern Country cal Trans is going to get all our back roads like Garlock and Randsburg Redrock road repaired!!!
Wow just the Next day!! GARLOCK RD AND MANY OTHERS OPENED UP!!! YAY
Cool
YOU are a bonafide CELEBRITY!!!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
That Lamp shop definitely needs a full tour by you when he it fully operational.
What a great video 🥰
Was in Lone Pine 50 years ago, seemed smaller then., on a motorcycle tour from N E Ohio. Stayed at a motel which housed many western stars that were making movies in prior times. Traveled through Death Valley before you were born. Enjoying your travels through the back country of the S .W. 👍👍🏍🏍🏍🙋♂️
Those old cool lamps are explosion proof lamps. They are still being made and used.
I’m so happy this video popped up, as I wanted to attend this year, but my health hasn’t been real good. My ancestors settled just north of LP, in 1851, (George’s Creek, W side of 395) and generations of us have been born and raised between LP and Benton. What a gift it was to be raised there and enjoy the open spaces and hear the tales of our history. Our living was mining, ranching, beekeeping, and packing mules and horses into the backcountry. I’ve enjoyed your videos, I miss all those dirt roads we traveled on growing up, but it brings me joy to watch you discover those places. Thanks so much for sharing your adventures, it fills my heart. 🤗
This video has been approved for audiences of all ages 🙂. Regards from Ody SLim
WOW...Mrs MIller was just too cool...glad she yelled at ya! I love your videos too!
I am surprised that you do not know who JAY SILVERHEELS is! He played TONTO along side THE LONE RANGER, played by CLAYTON MOORE! Great video, reminded me of our burro we had growing up in the late 50’s and 60’s, his name was “Corporal”.
CALIFORNIA BREAKFAST BURRITORS YUM YUM
Love burros, especially when encountering them in the wild!
You have way too much fun!
8:00 I was wrong! I always thought Wonderhussy tried to avoid burrocracy and all them Cally burrocrats!😁
Looks like you had a fine time. Lone Pine was huge western film town in the day. Everyone must visit Westerm Film Museum. Many Classic Movies 🎥 made in Eastern Sierra! So much lost history that we no longer remember.
I love Lone Pine. One of my all time favorite museums is the the Museum of Western Film History there.
The video they show there in their theater is awesome.
It's about the history of all the filming done in the Alabama Hills.
The first time I went there was after a hike up Mt. Whitney. As I walked up to the door with my friend, he said "This is probably some cheesy museum."
As soon as we walked into the front door.. there was the dentist wagon from "Django Unchained". My friend said "This is the best museum ever!" 😆
I wish I would have stopped when I went through about a month ago. Darn it!!
Just got through at the first one going to start the second one love them burros and mules thanks for the video wonderhussy
I watched a lot of those shows! They were so dang cool!! (I was a little kid, mind you!)
Crazy awesome, i fell in love w Lone Pine. It's like a family reunion of kindred spirits, Ms W. I wonder if that tv set was an RCA? The kitchen formica table is the same in my ol' family kitchen, same legs, same matching chairs. And the bunk beds remind me of the one I had as a kid; these US Army wooden bunk beds, w 'US' carved in the wood. They could be disassembled by taking out the long end piece bolts from the metal bed spring wood frame, to make single twin beds. [I searched those army bunk beds; they might've been from a POW camp, wow].
Thanks for the trip, and meeting Astrid🫏, who says, "I'm willing to haul anything but dont call me jack-asstrid!"😊
Turned loose when not needed... Im 64... been there.
Steeeeve
If I had had the money to buy trigger when they sold off all of the Roy Rogers Museum stuff I would have bought him in a heartbeat. But I was a poor college student at that time. My ethics come from growing up watching Roy and Dale
Another awesome video from an awesome gal😉
Your a really popular young lady but guess you already know that! Enjoyed your video!!
It is pretty hot there in August. I stayed there staging for a backpacking trip end of August 2021. Probably just a minor improvement from Death Valley
Lone Pine is one of my favorite towns along the 395.
That was fun. I've got friends in Lone Pine (way up in the foothills near where you camped), and have spent time there over the years. In fact, speaking of movies filmed there, their property was used for some scenes in the cult classic film, Tremors.
WoW, thanks Sarah! Another fascinating and interesting video, which provides a drawcard for another place you've shown that I just have to visit! 😍😍😍
Dang it Sarah!! I was up there a week too early. One of these days I’ll run into you in the Sierras.
THIS is my favorite Wonderhussy video.
I live just up the road in Bishop CA.
I'm glad you made this video because it seems like most people only see videos about the shit happening in LA and San Francisco and they think all of California is like that.
Another good one Wonderhussy!
You are so fun and so funny.
brian ❤
You are one in a billion! They love you, we love you-great video as always!
