- Welcome to Wonderhussy Adventure #303
Exploring an abandoned mine camp inhabited during the 1950s-1970s (judging from the beer cans and magazines left strewn about). Lots of old machinery, plus a few vintage booze surprises...apparently, these miners were there to party!

Hussy, every time I watch you, and your videos, I am reminded of how unique you are, and ,your interest in outdoor exploring. Yes, no doubt, we need more like you....fun, fun, fun....be careful darlin ! Great job. Thanks
Sarah, your "thinking out loud" style of narration is excellent!
Yes, unique approach.
Thank you Sarah,Great video,Thank you for taking us alone.Safe Travels..
Your channel is the best random find i've ever discovered on youtube!
Wonderhussy, amazing views. When you pull back you see the snow on the mountains. Enjoyed it
Fun traveling with you, you do all the work, i sit in my recliner and enjoy. Great job thanks.
1950's Cadillac for sure. The little shack with the motor was a water pump house.
Wow !!! What beautiful scenery . LOVE the desert !!!!!!! Part 2 ?? .....You're killing me..........
Eastside lager beer was manufactured in CA. The cans were white with red label and a gold eagle on it. Cans are worth about $35 in good condition. Great video and location 👍

First we see a 1950 Caddy. Comes across some 1960 Eastside Old Tap Lager beer cans. Then they hike up to the mine.
Nearby are Inyo Queen #1 and #2 mine sites. Love that funny and quirky sense of humor. Very good poking around in her
own clever way. Update on the first long building. The roof has collapsed.
Thank you Sarah for showing these places. That way my bucket list will become somewhat more managable 😄
It's a 1950 Cadillac and the chrome is actually stainless steel.
Stainles...hmmm. Forgot all about that...and after talking to Kenny Baker about that stuff a while back too. They (auto industry) didn't have real great luck with chrome
plating early on...so stainless was used a lot. Thanks for the memory jog, Marc.
@Sewan & Sawen Creations HaHA! If it wasn't a tetanus trap then, it sure is now(8-). And that very hulk has been the inspiration for many a cheese grater for several
years now.
Good Quality American Steel.
@@hughjohnson4071 Yeah...and lots of it. Those battle wagons had bumpers that would not budge over some puny 15 mph impact.
I'm guessing a '53-4 Cadillac,because of the OHV V-8 engine.
The mighty and brave explorer does it again. Another great video! Wish I could poke around like that, but there again, that's why we have Wonderhussy!
Interesting and well done as always, I look forward to part two. 👍
wow! nice find Sarah I love old rusty things, just like my wife ha jk, but that old car looks like it belongs in Jay Lenos garage for sure, the old cabins are really nice also I can almost hear the minors talking away as you go in, looking forward to part 2 doll,please hurry and be safe
Great video! I enjoy your videos showing neat sites in the desert and other remote locations. Since I am an engineer You need to bring me along to explain what all the equipment you find is. Wish I could keep up with you...
Way way coo Huss. Good stuff! Safe travels!
That shed containing the motor. The motor probably ran a generator. I saw generator parts outside of the shed. And that crank is how you started the motor. It would have engaged if you pushed in on it. The furnace inside the building was for assaying. Other equipment in there was for milling small amounts of ore to assay. I bet the hot springs you were at was Fish Lake Hot Springs.
Your so brave, black widows love hiding under stuff(hood latches a great place) in the desert! Great fun video!
you did it again-super exploration job! hug for you!
I know where you are, I was there in 92-93 but we used ATV's to get up that road. Left my name and date on the work shed.
Wonderhussy has great content. I’m so sick of the “nomads” like Carolyn’s RV life that stay in the desert in the winter and then go north during the summer and repeat.
I imagine that is assaying equipment.
Cheers,
Rik Spector
Excellent video Sarah.
That was radio equipment that a beach master would use to radio ships during a military assault landing like DDay. The beach master would instruct the incoming Landing craft where to off load men and material to protect it from enemy fire. War surplus radio, could be how that talked to the people up top, they may have had one to.
The other thing you looked at was a rock crusher kinda like a mortor that you would use to crush things with. They would put quarts in that and grind it to powder to get the gold out
Great stuff WH !
Wow! Very interesting how it hasn’t been totally destroyed! Great find!
Love your vlogs! The desert is very peaceful for me. Since I can't get out anymore this is great for me.
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚
Great video! Can’t wait for next week!!
I am fully tuning in next week!
wonder hussy ..wow you really get around....list of abandoned places...I've seen almost all of your videos an enjoy them very much ...like looking at lost history that isn't even mentioned in some history books
You make my day. You keep going and be careful.
Aww wonder you are a tease leaving us to wait until next week for episode 2 ;-) still love your videos x :-)
The car was a Cadillac, and the Stuff in the shed was either sampling gear or smelting depending on how big the operation was. And YIKER'S!! A CLIFF HANGER!!
Looked like a generator in the shack.
Scotty Kilmer can help you get it running.
Hello wonderhussy it's Ted here. Good video. A little bummed out I have to wait till next week for part 2. But I'm one of those type of people that has a hard time waiting for more excellent videos. Love the scenery. Love the fact that you found lots of cool stuff. Take care of yourself see you next time.
The car is a '51 Cadillac. It's been there since the late 1950s. It used to belong to a doctor in Bishop, but that's another story.
Did you open the trapdoor in the floor of the cabin?
If you look at the chrome work below the headlights there's 2 horizontal lines specific to the 1950 model year. The 1951 has either an emblem or vertical bars in that location.
@@marcbee1234 I won't argue, since you apparently really know your Cadillacs! My comment was based upon a conversation I had with "Hardrock" Art and his daughter, Mary who lived at that mine when the Caddie was abandoned there. They both said it was a '51, but it's entirely possible that they didn't know either.
Cheers!
I’m so happy someone finally identified that car, thanks. I’ll bet the backstory of the doctor from Bishop is very interesting. I’d love to hear it. TRAP DOOR!… what you talkin’ about, Willis?
I remember many years ago Coors having cans with two holes...
Interesting video thanks for sharing
Another great vid!
What an amazing find...omg!
Gal, I still love your video's, they are almost as Awesome as you are.
Great zoom in in the beginning. Please. Continue doing this when you can.

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚
the round things with metal slots inside =part of electric motor. the slots contained the copper winding. copper = worth more than the rest sold for scrap
Thanks for the awesome video I do appreciate it.👍😊
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😚😚😚😚😚😚
WONDERHUSSY THE NEW GIDGET such a dear sweet thing....
Nice video, young lady your a living doll 🌷🌷🌷
I'm thinking that last beer can was a Coors! I remember them having that type of top.
Cool Beans!
Dubya H, you sure popped out a good'ern. Cain't wait to see the next episode.
Love you wonder hussy!
2:56 Los Angeles Brewing Company Eastside Brewery 1897 - 1979.
9:10 Jacare White-Rose was about 1977.
So me thinks that place was abandoned in the late 1970s.
I have got to come along with you to educate you on the wonders of industrial artifacts..
Their is still gold there ...start lookin ...💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰👒👒👒
Happy Humpday Hussy Ha Ha s
Nice vid wh
I think what you called a fridge was actually a Ice Box. Set a 10 or 20lb dry ice block in it last a week or so.
Best thing about CZcams is you can write to your personal celebrities, princesses, and Wonderhussy. Thanks for another fine adventure. And I agree with the viewer comment, the car is a 1950 Caddy. You were mostly right, Buick🐎,
Oldsmobile🐎🐎,
Cadillac🐎🐎🐎,
Wonderhussy🐎🐎🐎🐎.
Further, Eastside is an old L.A. brewery. Got through prohibition as near beer, then competition drank them under the table. The cans are cool.
Lol was that an imprint of a rat that was at one time dead at the bottom of the fridge?? I believe you panned over to it twice. Great Video!!
Not chrome but stainless steel trim on car .. old Cadillac ) ... Thanks always 5 star adventures !
Ok my........ Always , great video 😷😨 Smoked a Log..
Imagine the hardship for those miners out in the desert.
Sure love being stuck in Connecticut.... I really miss the desert
@5:23....push the crank handle towards the engine so it will mesh with that large pin going across the front of that shaft sticking out in front of the pulley, then turn the crank clockwise. Won't go anywhere because that engine is likely seized, but that's how you started that engine.
It's a 4 cylinder engine (probably diesel) that powered an electric generator (which is possibly some of the parts you found in the next clip).
Nice
That car is not a car but actually a $200,000 open air art piece.
Took over a year to mold, sculpt and painstakingly apply that convincing patina.
Nice, great place, perfect fr a jaz jam
You have the best growl on CZcams.
Cool!!!
Now I want to look up vintage beer cans online lol.
I'm gonna poke it with a stick...🤣😂😅
It is an old engine gas powered and that's the hand crank to start it that's incredible to find that must be really secluded somebody hasn't stolen or toward up cool
It's an old generator (or rather...the engine for the generator) The gen. itself bolted up behind the engine and is obviously missing!
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚
eastside beer made in east L.A. it became brew 102 after that. now ? keep up the good work!
So the doctor abandons his ten year old 1950 Cadillac out in an old mining camp? There's gotta be an interesting story that goes with that.
Certified beauty on another adventure Wonder hussy!!!
The emblem on the hood appears to be Cadillac
Seemed like overkill on those rocks to keep that Cadillac from blowing awzy.
YOUR BAD-ASS ... KEEP IT UP !
The machine is a quartz grinder and the cooker for smeling the gold from mercury
next week really, the wait :)
I think Those 2 hole Coors cans were from the 70's, easy to accidentally cut your thumb when depressing them. I saw a lady bartender in California using a golf ball to open them. Enjoy your vids, Bill/Michigan
Some kind of propeller?? .......yer making me feel old. :)
You look like a real fun lady. Like your travels but take care of your security pretty one.
I believe that the beer can in question was from Olympia from Washington state, I remember those from the 70's :)
Ran when parked
The announcing equipment was so they could holler up at the guy on the mountain? "Quit throwing rocks down here just because you think there might be a piece of gold in it". That was interesting to see the clean up with a little furnace.
I think...probably a 52 or 53 Caddy. I think they had that fuel pump right up front and center on top of the engine...You were turning the crank the wrong way, Lass(8-). Whatever that
engine powered is long gone...maybe a winch...which would explain the spool of cable. Probably some spare cable. Oh! There ya go. That 5:53 is the stator that used to have wire
windings on it....that engine ran a generator. and the other part of the stator...and at 6:18...the rotor of the generator. All sans wire...copper thieves tore tore it all off and sold it.
That wheel 7:53 was probably up on top of that collapsed structure. Some of that big cable ran up and over that pulley and probably ran the tramway you figured was once there.
And that building with the tables and old fridge...the mine probably employed an assayer. 10:58...grind it up and 11:18 melt 'er down to check for quality of the ore. My guess anyhow.
The announcing system was probably just a borrowed container...but could have been an actual PA system used on the site.
Great video, Lovely!(8-). Can't wait for part 2.
Damn you rock girl, you're amazing, love you,
The motor and two other pieces are part of the old generator that provided electricity for the site. Said motor most likely operated the cable tram too.
In the building . you have a crusher and then a smelting furnace for ingots.
Yes EastSide was a beer brewed in Los Angeles.
The crank needs shoved in to engage. It is a motor to run a generator and the big round thing was a generator but the copper has been stripped out.
I know it's gunfire. But with the muffling, it sounds almost like a train crossing over an unwelded section of track!!
Like number 320! Finally, a round number!
