HEY, EVERYONE!
New website, new bikini!
I finally finished designing my new website (well, with a lot of help from my friends at Misfit Media!)
I can’t even tell you how GREAT it feels to finally have this done — and to once again have a place where I can spill my guts all over the internet. I can do that to a certain extent on my YouTube channel, but not really — my videos are long enough as it is! I have long needed a secondary outlet, for all the stuff I can’t fit in my vlogs. So, that’s what this blog will be: a place for all the stuff that didn’t make the cut.
I have this one viewer who’s always berating me because my videos are too long. According to this guy, my content shouldn’t exceed 10 minutes — and I agree with him; if I want mainstream success, I should be cranking out 10-15 minute clickbait quickies. So I’ve been trying to make shorter videos…which means there’s almost always lots of footage that ends up getting deleted.
Getting ready to watch the annular eclipse last month
Well, now I have a place to share the stories and tidbits that didn’t end up in the videos! I can also share logistical info, and dish on bloopers I made in the process of shooting (there’s always a few).
And most importantly…I can share my personal thoughts and feelings about the stuff I’m shooting. I don’t usually get into that too much in my videos — there’s just not enough time. So this blog will allow me to share these extra insights, as well.
I’m going to try and post at least one blog per week, related to one or both of that week’s videos. Like I said, there’s usually a few tidbits I had to leave out, and I almost always have behind-the-scenes photos to share, too.
And in between those video-related blogs, I may just post random personal stuff from time to time. I’ve mentioned before that I don’t have a single person in my real life who will listen to me talk about my problems, so I might end up doing that here. Lucky you!!
Shooting nudies for one of my upcoming calendars
But for now, all I really want to say is: I’M ALIVE!!! Hello, birds! Hello, trees! I HAVE A VOICE AGAIN!
And I hope you’ll check in here periodically to listen to me. Sign up for my newsletter to be notified when I post something…and be sure to leave a comment, letting me know what you think.

Hi. My name is Ian. I’m from Australia. I don’t think your videos are to long. I enjoy them immensely. Love the scenery. The vastness and colours. My thing is, whilst your talking about the subject I’m listening to you but I’m looking into that long distance behind you and seeing the real America. I think you’d enjoy a trip over here. Our countries are so similar, relatable but immensely different at the same time. Regards Ian
-
Thank you! I would DEFINITELY enjoy visiting Australia, and I do plan to…one of these days, when I find a suitable travel partner!

Hey Sarah,
Love your videos! We enjoy following along on your adventures. You definitely keep us entertained with your quirky sense of humor and history shared about the various places you visit. And video length is just right, by the way! Look forward to getting your newsletter so can stay updated with your blogs.
We like to venture out too and more so now that we’re fully retired. Have taken our two daughters and two granddaughters all across the country on various road trips. Still so much more to see!
Take good care,
Julie & Conrad-
Thank you! Glad you’re enjoying!

I like the new format. The only thing I’d change is the font, since I prefer serifs. Purely subjective, of course.
Also, you might consider straying from strictly vlog reports, time permitting. You’ve plenty to say on other topics, and you might occasionally want to recommend an especially good restaurant, or warn of a business that should be avoided, or share other experiences and/or opinions that won’t fill a video.
-
have you ever looked at the stone compess south of your town
-
I have hiked up to the Stone compass just south of my house! It’s pretty interesting… But it’s on private property, so I have to be careful about what I shoot over there.
-
Hey! You sure reminded me of myself! When I was your age!!!! I love watching you! And you and the Flea Market is on my bucket list! So I hope to meet you at the next Firefighter’s Flea Market! Can you send me the address for Flea Market as well as lodging! (RETIRED Firefighters from San Diego in family) Love ya! Judi
-
We don’t know for sure when the next event will be.. probably sometime in the fall! I will announce it here, and on my YouTube channel, when we figure it out!
As for lodging, there are a few motels in Tecopa, and plenty of places to stay in pahrump, which is about 45 minutes away.
-
-
-
I tried to go to your shop to order, but the message said something about “reload cache”. HELP! What do I do? We will be passing through Tecopa in mid Dec. and could grab something if any of your local businesses display/sell your inventory. My “starched and strait laced” wife needs a Wonder Hussy shirt so she can get in touch with he “inner Hussy”. 🙂
-
Haha! I don’t carry any of the merch myself, unfortunately, and it’s not sold anywhere other than on my website. Maybe try again? I’m sorry you’re having these hassles, but I just don’t know any other way…
-
-
Ten years back I lived in Tecopa for a year. I have lived many places (Portugal at the moment) but I miss Tecopa more than anywhere else. So many good stories to tell.
Discovered you yesterday. Wonder if you’ve been to the canyon shrine? It was nearly in ruins ten years ago but carried with it some powerful energy.
I lost contact with friends there. Maybe you can, at least, tell me if they are alive!!! Of you can help it would be much appreciated.
Muito obrigado.
as the call me here . . . Marco-
Wow, far out! Feel free to email me privately if you want…. wonderhussy@gmail.com.
I have been to Cathedral Canyon…is that what you’re talking about? It’s pretty busted up, but still there!
-
-
Hi Wonderhussy. I’ve been following you since your MM days, blogs and videos. It was a pleasure meeting you at the Tecopa Festival. I bought a window sticker (all proceeds went to the Tecopa Fire Department) and proudly display it on my truck. It gets a lot of comments from those asking what the sticker is about and from those who know of you. Keep up the awesome attitude and great content. Thank you for entertaining us with informative content.
-
Thank you for helping support our fire department!!
-
-
Great website! We enjoy your videos. Your style and sense of humor come shining through! Never a dull moment as your content and editing move right along. Appreciate your openness and honesty. Enjoy seeing you support your desert community and friends there, too.
Lived in Tahoe City in the 60s and spent time in Reno and Virginia City. Thank you for taking us back to Nevada and parts of CA. A real joy! Look foreword to your newsletters. Best of everything to you now and in the New Year. -Vivian C.-
Thank you, Vivian! I’m glad you’re enjoying my videos… And thanks for stopping by my website!

Hobo Hot Tub. You made my day. Splish Splash

Glad you liked it! It was the hardest I’ve ever worked for a bath, but very rewarding

Hi Sara . I know you like a good mystery. about 30 years ago there was a double murder at the upper springs in Saline Valley. The couple disappeared and left all their stuff in their van. the Inyo County Search and rescue looked for then. There was a large reward offered. years later the 2 were found buried in a shallow grave on top of each other. She was the heir to a silver fortune. The government got involved because it looked like a threat to national security. Maybe you can solve it.
-
I’m very familiar with that case! But I think they solved it it was that Marine, Mike I think his name was, who used to hang out at the springs.. I think they pretty conclusively proved it
-
-
Hi, Did you ever think that you are doing what your supposed to be doing? Think about how your adventures really enlighten people, and me, with your videos. I spent 21 years in the military, worked in law enforcement, worked for the government and now I am 100 percent disabled wanting to travel and go out into nature, but I don’t for one reason or another, so I do it through you to a degree. Hell I have a masters in clinical psychology and I still can’t figure out what in the hell I am doing in life and I’m 57. SO I think your doing what your supposed to be doing, after all you enjoy it, and no, don’t move back to Vegas, I’m trying to get out of Vegas. Oh and last is tell those people that get anal about you missing a video because your sick to get a life. Hope you feel better and I wouldn’t mind you taking time off to get better. Thanks for the videos.
-
Thank you!!!! But I would note that people quibbling over my missing a week aren’t necessarily just being anal…. I might be there only window to the world, you know? There are lots of folks out there like you!
Anyway, I appreciate your awesome comment! It made me feel pretty good about myself!! Thank you!

Hi Sara
I watched Glass House and agree that it is one of my favorite video’s. I tried to find out more information but had no luck. I have worked in construction and have some idea of what it took to build out there. The only mention of the builder was he traveled in and out by helicopter. I to would like you to go back sometime. Even though someone put holes in the drywall ,I am surprised that there is no other vandalizing or bullet holes in the glass.-
Wow, bringing everything in by helicopter makes sense.. it was so isolated out there! I’m glad you appreciated the builder’s archestry. I thought it was a beautiful place! And I agree, it was a miracle the glass wasn’t all shot up.

I have a holster l made for you after your visit with the one legged miner!
-
Wow, no kidding?!

Hi ! My name is Erin Otero .I just posted the Holster that Jay made for you on openroadcowboy.com We need to know how to send to you or we will be at Calico ghost town on Saturday February 17th for California days . If you are in the area you can pick it up . Jay had Fun making this , Enjoy 😊

Hi, Just watched the circles in the desert and here is what I think your looking at is boundary markers. They are not evenly spaced apart so that blows the alien involvement out the door. Prospecting spots wouldn’t have been that close together let alone in a line. Ancient circles as a trail wouldn’t have been that close together unless they were blind and established brail, but using a circle guide to set up something noticeable and close like if they had wood to use as a fence would be sort of the same thing where a surveyor would keep them in line of a boundary but not so picky as to how close together.
Now lets get into the probing by aliens. What if someone dressed up as an alien and …..Just kidding, but you put it out there, snicker giggle.-
Ha!!! I’m still not sure about the boundary theory though… it seems weird to have made so many of them, so close together. Still, I guess it’s the most plausible explanation so far!
-
I think the circles are some 300-700 year-old Native American religious or spiritual markings. Too much work for a border. And that desert pavement can stay like that on high ground for eons. I’m amazed that some Kyle hasn’t come along on his ATV doing brodies on them by now!
-
Kyle😆😆 Haaaaa!!!!

Hi Sarah Jane! Just found this. I think–if anything– your videos are too SHORT. Just as I’m getting engrossed, they’re over. Some of the best stuff on youtube, better than anything on commercial TV, in my opinion. I have to get better at giving them likes and comments on my computer. (I watch them on my TV which doesn’t have that function). Your ability to make a mundane rail siding on the side of the road actually interesting is amazing. Keep up the good work. You are bringing entertainment, enlightenment, and joy to a LOT of people. I’ve gotta get down there and meet you and Ross. I like that guy a lot.
-
Sure! Thank you 😃
-
-
Your doing fine. You keep me entertained. Thanks.
-
Thank you! I appreciate the kind words 😃
-
-
HI Sara! Have you made any videos about hot springs around Thermal, CA. Or at least within a 90 minute ride? Thanks…..love your videos, love your courage to travel and explore.
-
Hi Sara
I am a big fan. Watch you every week. I got your hat for Christmas ,and its a snap back. It almost fits on the last snap. Do you have a 7 and 7/8 inch’s fitted hat? -
Just found your You Tube recently and I just can’t get enough of you, and the desert locations you visit. Been to Death Valley many times over the years with camper and or on a motorcycle. I am from Orange County CA but recently moved to Temecula in Riverside County. May come out tomorrow and hopefully get to meet you at the fundraiser. If not I will be coming out to take a closer look at Tecopa and maybe run into you then.
-
Thank you! I’ll be at the flea market all day today and tomorrow… Hope to see you there!
-
-
I really enjoyed getting a chance to meet you today. Waiting in line I noticed how you gave each and every person your time and attention and hugs for everyone! Would have liked to talk to you more but there were still others behind me waiting for their turn. I actually got to spend a fair amount of time talking to Eliza and she is really cool as well. Hope to cross paths with you guys sometime in the future. Hope you raise a good amount of money for the fire dept.
-
Thank you so much for stopping by! It was frustrating for me, because I wanted to spend more time with everyone… But at the same time, I didn’t want people to have to stand in line too long. Thank you for being so classy and understanding about it!

Dang Me! Missed the flee mkt –
WEll, it WAS only 2000 miles away! Hi from Fasky in WI. My last name is almost the same as the sweet wine from northern Italy, But with an F. That wine grape and origin are from the same Reagion or the Foothills of te Italian Alps. Yes I’ve been there but only that once. It was nice.
Sooo, I Love your ‘new’ site and I ‘luv’ you, but oddly – I’m very new to you, so I’m only familiar with this one, new site of your’s.
SO glad I met you through your comment on Jeff Wm. Nugget Challenge about Flee Mkt. Ah Fate! It works in such strange ways and always know what’s the best for us! 9As if We’d have any control over what happens– I have a booklet of some cute personal observations( yes, some plagiarized ) – maybe missives? Many magnetized to my reefer, NO NOT THAT REEFER – My refrigerator – reefer. Not that there’s anything BUT GOOD as to that other reefer. Anywhos my little saying about Fate goes — “If you embrace fate then you can’t believe there’s a HELL!” Think about it y’all. Take Care and See Ya – I hope.-
I love the way you think! We are definitely cut from the same cloth 😁 glad you found me!
-
Yes, we are alike, except you can type more accurately. I shuda gone back and re-wrote/re-typed a few (or ten) words in my last comment. I think having to edit vids is what scares me away.
I too, am not so much cheap, as I am thoughtful with money. I come from a family that’s as proud as you are of being “frugal?” I’ve lost track of the numbers of dumpters I dove, and flee markets I’ve flown, and dump pickings I’ve picked! Not to mention the occasional goodies on the side of the road. You obviously aren’t concerned when you pickup rotting things in shipping containers when making your observations for the masses. Nor am I and there IS a reason – all of my family members were bought up with the concept of ‘money mindful’. Yes, all of the past and present families had money, (just luck, fate? – hard work.) and still do! But FRUGAL was ingrained (engrained?) in my ancestors, parents and grandparents, & now in me. Oh well. Ha – LOL – Don’tchya jist hate that lame ‘LOL’ stuff? I s’pose it does the laughter job though.
I saw, read? something of your’s where, I cudda sworn, you said you’re being careful to edit out things objectionable to some (was it a reference to your podcast?). As if that venue is expected to follow YouTube dictates. Does it HAVE to be that way? I for one, don’t like being denied fun stuff, appropriate adult stuff. And NO I’m not just talking about skin or language or pictures. Just whatever. I thought PodCasts were covered by FREE SPEECH! Yes?Hey, I sure like how Doug C thinks. It’s like he pulls thoughts right out of MY head. HaHa
So, I’d like to tell you (mostly OTHER readers) that your Gummies REALLY ARE as tasty as you say (‘cuz sure, that’s what we’d be after, taste. Right?). But I have surprisingly ‘pleasant’ feelings too. Go figure! It’s so kind of you to make healthier treats available to me (and the public). One of the best super ‘mellows’ I’ve ever had! Yes, you sponsor these and I mean there has to be a mfr somewhere. For all I know the whole idea is you. And maybe have a say in contents or ingredients (organic, whatever), maybe tweeked things as well? GOOD JOB! I can’t help but wonder – Hmmm – (that’s wondering) – here is the major partner in a good paydirt ‘prospect’, a working claim. My best to you. (and don’t address any of that here – if there even is – any of that). Take Care.
Whoa, I gotta goa –Hey! Anyone who hasn’t ordered WH’s Gummies – do so – NOW!
-
I’m with you on the free speech.. but at the same time, if I want to continue to be able to use their platform to make a living, I have to abide by their rules. And I actually find it kind of a fun challenge to slightly subvert them! It’s a master class on the fine art of subtlety!

I’ve just started watching Your Tube Vids, very informative, very amusing, and the Full spectrum you. Every video leaves me thinking that you would be the perfect MOM, definitely a mini you situation. I had to say.
-
Thank you! I think I would have been a great mom –I’m 12 years older than my brother, and 9 years older than one of my sisters, so I did sort of raise them in a way. But it just wasn’t in the cards for me, and that’s okay! At least this way I get plenty of sleep 😃

Thank You Sarah for the Vid on Mojave especially the visit to the Mojave Air and Space Port.
Brought back fond memories landing there in two different B-747s during a final delivery flight to their final resting place…. not a very glorious or dignified ending to such a prestigious and glamorous aircraft.
Also, Victorville AKA George Air Force Base is home to SoCal Logistics known for their commercial aircraft paint and overhaul facility.
Love the calendar.
Ben-
Glad you enjoyed it! I really find Mojave fascinating… I loved making that video!

Hey there! Not sure if you’re looking for something to do…. You always have somewhere to go! Curious if you are interested in checking out Lundy Canyon? Right off Hwy 395 . My son and I and a few friends from Lee Vining will be doing some fire abatement the last week of May. It’s located between Bridgeport and June Lake ( I know you know Mono Lake) Lundy Canyon is Magical and so rich in mining history and logging for Bodie’s mining and housing…. Would love to see you!
-
Thank you for reaching out! Emailed you privately 😃

Hi, was watching your latest post on do you or don’t you. First let me say that your still beautiful and you shouldn’t put yourself down. Every lady has their glimmer. I heard part of your live show where people where asking about the other girl, thought that was a bit crass on their part. I live in Las Vegas and have been married twice to women that cheated on me and so I have my own issues with me and having been on the military and worked in law enforcement and having a masters in psychology I am questioning myself all of the time. I think it is great that you get out and see the west and share it as your video does give me some entertainment twice a week, especially since I got rid of cable. I often want to travel around and see stuff by myself and just absorb the natural world, but there are times when it is nice to have someone there to share it with. Your doing what I have not yet worked myself up to yet. Also being a disabled vet does leave me some times hampered on how much I can do too. As far as the other guy, well lets just say he was fishing and your too much of a catch for him, better to be let loose then pulled in and live in regret later. Personally I enjoy listening to you talk as I live alone and hearing someone else talk is nice, especially since I am not a gabber. Your also very intelligent and that probably turns off a lot of men as we tend to like to feel smart, I am not into who’s smarter, we all have our expertise and things we know and do not know. And many may get jealous of the other guys you have as friends, but I can say that I used to have a lot of female friends and my ex would hate it, even though nothing but friendship was there, so that is a no go for many. Being a nudest, well let me tell you have the body for it I am to shy and I do not see myself as attractive at all so your much braver then most men or women. You need a boyfriend that is there with you but not surrounding you, you need a boyfriend not a husband and a guy that gives you space to do your thing as I am sure you would give to him. So please do not get down on yourself and don’t give up being you. Otherwise then I would have nothing to watch or would be stuck watching some youtuber that just babbles like some tour guide and bores the hell out of me. At least you provide factual info with personality and your own style that makes watching you fun, and to be more honest it makes you addictive to know, so keep up and don’t let the few bad points be the major over the many good points. I know I would prefer a hard charging gal to some quite princess that makes you question everything as if I could read their mind. Rock on. Oh and forget the buddha stuff and just tune into some Bread or Little River Band or Leo Sawyer or even early Billy Joel and then kick it up with some Eagles you will do fine. Love you and your show and look forward to the next adventure.
-
Hi Sara, you can tell the old men with testicles half way to their knees that the cat was out of the bag on the undisclosed location over 30 years ago when National Geographic did and article about it and mentioned Chile Bob. I have been going there for 50 years and even went there for our honeymoon. I love the sunrise pool, Wizard pool, the volcano pool and of course the bathtub. We love your channel keep up the good work.
-
Hi Sara. We were in Tacopa last weekend and went to the Date Ranch [ chased out by horse fly’s] then went to the Pizza place. Great pizza. Thanks for all the good tips.
-
Hello there Wonderhussy, Whenever I see you I smile. There is so much positive enthusiasm emanating from you. Even when your adventures seem difficult, or are just not going the way you intended, your great sense of humor is adorable ….as are you !! I like the down to earth vulnerability you show now and then, even speaking of depression. Remember, we are rooting for you. You are safe with us. In so many ways you are a down to earth person ….but …when you dress yourself up in Model-mode, ,,,,,Va VOOM !!
-
Thank you so much! I try really hard to stay authentic and down to earth.. there’s so much fake stuff online, I don’t want to be any part of that! So I’m glad you appreciate it. Thank you for watching!
-
-
Thank you for coming out here! The flies are miserable this time of year.. I don’t blame you for leaving because of them! But they usually go away by October, so come back anytime after that 😃
-
Hi Sara
Are you OK? I miss you video’s. The last time you disappeared you had a case of the coco puffs. I know its starting to get hot there we were in Death Valley a couple of weeks ago and it was already 104.I look forward to your next posting.-
I’m fine! I’ve been posting two videos every week… Not sure why you haven’t seen them! Are you subscribed to my channel? And if so, did you hit the bell icon to get notified every time I upload a new video?
Either way, I post new videos every Wednesday and every Friday, and I haven’t missed any yet!
-
-
Please, please, stop saying ‘the Sierras’.
You know better than that.
-
Well, I do.. but still, I somehow feel pretentious saying the Sierra!
-
-
I saw your Mule Days the same day I posted. And yes I am subscribed to your channel. Thanks for the quick response.
-
Thinking about starting my Adventure Site on Facebook. I’m going to call it WonderWussie. That’s because I’m afraid of the Desert and Cactus. probably do most of my adventures indoors. Except McDonalds. I’m afraid of Clowns, don’tcha know.
I soaked in a Hot Spring once but got kicked out by some Federal agents. They kept mumbling something about Brea Tar pits, or something like that.
Anyway, Janie, hope to have you as a guest host sometime. You should be excited about that.-
Hahaha, sounds like a winner to me!

I like your show. I’m country gal bab at writing. So Bear with me . I was witching your show. And had a great place for you to go. look up la’port California. I’ve been. Going there since. The sixty’s . to our mine. The town. Has a lot of history . the ride is geat . paived. Just up from Quincy cal.
-
Thank you! I’m glad you’re enjoying my videos!
-
-
I just randomly saw an old TV show called Death Valley Days and the episode was called The Last Letter and I thought about you. Have you heard of this show and do you know if it was actually filmed in your area?
-
I’m familiar with that show! I’m not sure where they filmed it, though… Probably mostly in Hollywood, but probably some stuff on location!
-
-
Hi Sara,
Just a quick tip;Stalagtites are from above… because they have to hold on tight.Stalagmites are on the floor.
I love your videos.
Rich L…………..out

That’s a great way to remember it! I’ll try to keep that in mind next time I’m in a cave

Thank you! I do love me some swimming holes!

Hey WH, been watchin’ for a about a year or so… love your content… If you’re looking an independent guy looking for an independent gal… I’m 45 in decent shape.. not looking to change how you do what you do 😉
-
Thank you!
-
-
Not sure why, but you tube on my TV is not showing your videos to me!! and they have to know that I watch your new ones every week!!! anyways, glad I could check in here and see all is well!! Thank you for what you do!! I will do some searching to get you back in my line up! Kinda glad to hear you didnt do burning man! and that you spent time with your Mom! Sweet!!
-
Well that’s weird! Are you subscribed to my channel? If so, there’s a little bell icon you can click next to the subscribe button, which means every time I upload a new video, you will get an email informing you about it! That might work…. Also, sometimes people get randomly unsubscribed to channels. So that might be what happened…

Okay, it’s only taken me 2 years, but here it goes:
I just watched your video from @ 2 weeks ago, when you almost done were helping your Mom move out of her cabin on the Russian River.
It brought back a memory from when my Mom, brother and I took a Summer vacation when I was only @ 13 years old, when we took the PCH from San Diego (where we lived until the following year, when we moved to Sacramento), all the way up the coast, to Crescent City and back, staying in the Redwoods for a couple nights in a little cabin on the Eel River.
On our way back, we stopped at a couple places along the Russian River and the last place if IRC, was in Ukiah? To take a quick dip in the Russian River.
I’ll never forget it, because I left my brand new pair of the latest, greatest, red, black and white (checkerboard) Vans skating shoes…(I didn’t skate, I was into Motocross and surfing) but I cherished those Vans oh man oh man….and I left them on the rocky beaches of the Russian. Didn’t realize it until hours later. Too late to go back, so as you could imagine, the entire trip was just ruined, of course. 😂 Lol.
Keep it short Aaron. Lol.
Anyway, I think the bangs look really cute and you have plenty of long thick gorgeous hair to pull it off, which people at our age (and I bet we’re the same age, within a year or 2), are fortunate to still have. When I saw you take those bangs out of the Amazon package at your Grandma’s, I was thinking to myself: “Man, I need to figure out how to get in on that action”, because I can’t keep up with my hair, it grows so flippin fast and it’s too damned hot in the Summer, especially in this ASS humidity down here in the South, where I got marooned 6 years ago when my Jeep (with all my worldly possessions inside) got jacked right out of the VA hospital ER patient parking lot….🤬…but I digress…and just never made it back home to CA.
I know I’ve been saying it for 5 years, but THIS year is my last year in Tornado Hills, ‘North Louisiarka’. 👍😉….🙄….😣 Lol.
I don’t give 2 shits how long you live in the South, when you were born and raised on the the West Coast….you will never “get acclimated” to the humidity. Or the bugs. Or TORNADOS.👎🙄 Lol.
I’ve never been to the town of Volcano, but I’ve seen it on the map, years ago.
My Mom used to live in Auburn on a beautiful piece of property with a year round stream that ran through it, that had iclean, clear, ice cold snow run-off water in it year round. When I was working in the Bay Area, I used to go up their on weekends to help her do yardwork (was a couple acres, nice for a rental property) and I used to pan for gold in that stream. Never came up with anything big but was a nice break from the rat race of Bay Area traffic and living in cramped $900-$1200 (ONE bedroom) apartments, with no yard or garage to tinker around in.
Oh, I wanted to ask you, since you visit so many cool, interesting, off the beaten path and obscure places in CA, (many of which, I’ve never heard of and I’m both a Southern and Northern CA native, but I always wanted to check out the Benbow Inn, out on the coastal side of the Redwoods, where that little bay or river outlet meets the ocean, right off Hwy 1 or I guess 101, because I think they become the same route there or somewhere along that stretch.
It’s such a beautiful place and I’ve only ever driven past it, maybe 3 times in my life and always had to get somewhere, so I never had time to stop and check it out.
Do know which place I’m taking about?
It looks like a really expensive little coastal resort, but it’s always kind of been on my Bucket List to stay there for a weekend someday, just to be a tourist, you know. I know it’s got a lot of history and I think I read something one time, that you can rent paddle boats maybe, but don’t quote me on that. But I always thought it would be so cool to go out on a little boat or even a raft in that little bay that looks more like a freshwater lake, when you pass by on the highway, but I’m pretty sure it opens up to the ocean.
I just always wanted to go there.
Anyway, I’m already rambling. I’ve been to some very cool spots all over this country, many of them in CA of course, but not anywhere near as much exploring as you have, that’s why I love your videos.
You’re one of those independent, adventurous, free-spirited souls like me, who appreciates the way outdoors and historical value of places many would never think to visit, but people don’t realize how many weird, interesting places with absolutely awe-inspiring natural scenic beauty, with some of the most rich, lively and bizarre history, all over the place, that you’re never going to see, flying commercial or traveling on an interstate to some other more popular vacation destination, that everybody and their Aunt Edna has already visited, multiple times.
There’s a ton of amazing places to go, that are within a day’s drive, than most people ever care to investigate. Which is probably why they haven’t lost their appeal, because I can’t stand tourist traps. I’ve never even desired to go visit Yosemite, (one of the most majestic places on the planet) for that very reason.
Alright, I better zip it. I don’t get out much (at all, EVER) anymore and spend 80% of my time taking care of someone else’s cats, so for a charismatic, extrovert, living like a troll for this long…I got PLENTY OF SHIT stored up to talk about and I have to be careful not to unload it on some poor soul, all at once, but Im just as good a communicator, when it comes to listening as I am at talking, believe it or not.
So if you ever feel like bullshitting about whatever or need a Dr Phil….lol…(DRxNott;).. wasn’t just my DJ name because I could save the life of the party on 3 turntables, back in the SF underground/ afterhours good ole days, but because I was always just a natural Diplomat of Souls (Dr. Phil) because everyone has always confined in me, because I’m LONG TIME TRUSTED VAULT of people’s most deeply guarded secrets, worries, aspirations, VENTilations, insecurities, closet skeletons, freaky “Power Exchanges” whatever….they know its safe with me and they also know, that Im barbarically HONEST in whatever advice I offer, because Im not afraid to tell someone what they don’t want to hear, if they ask me what I REALLY think.
I became a better person because of those who were courageous and loved me enough to offer constructive criticism when it was appropriate. I like to be the same way.
I’ve only struggled with ONE piece of advice, although I have become much better, just not this time. 😖….🤐…😉
All ears ANY time.
I know good people when I see them. 😊
❤️🩹-
Thank you, Dr. Phil! I’m sorry to hear about your Vans…and I’m sorry to hear you’re feeling marooned. I’ve had that feeling myself😆 But there is beauty everywhere — you just have to keep your eyes and mind open. Hang in there! And thanks for watching!

P.s. I don’t know anything about the inn you were talking about… Love that part of the coast, though!

Wonderhussy I have been watching your videos for years and I really love the ones where you go to the hot springs in the nude. I’m 70 and a nudist at heart and would love to run into you sometime and go hot springing with you. I’m just surprised you have no male companion to share your life with. I would gladly try to fill that void if given the chance but I might not be up to your standards as far as companionship and age goes. Anyway keep up the videos of hot springs and is there any other sites you have besides you tube that can actually be yourself and let it all hang out???

Glad you’re enjoying! You never know, we just might run into each other at a hot spring one of these days. Unfortunately I don’t have time to upload my stuff to any other platforms, so all I have is YouTube!

Hi Sara. I’d like to say two things. First, what an inspiration you are to me. All within a year I have discovered You Tube, subscribed to many channels and now am turning my attention to making a podcast of my own. I’m not technically savvy so this is taking much longer than I thought. Beyond retirement years, I don’t have the good looks, charm and wit that you do. Well, actually I am witty and although I’ll be discussing politics, I hope to be verry entertaining. Your podcast are very entertaining and I always watch when a new one pops up. Your success is because you have good looks, a great sense of humor, command of the english language a knack for adventure. Second, I’m creating an Intro/Outro today. Did you create that beautiful Wonderhussy splash (lack of a better term) at the start of your videos or was that created somewhere else. I love it. Thanks for being my inspiration. Jerry

Thank you, Jerry! How exciting for you that you decided to do a podcast –good for you!
As for my intro thingy, I edit all my videos using iMovie –the free editing software that comes with Apple laptops. It’s one of the included intros that comes with the program, so I didn’t have to do anything. Very basic and kind of amateurish, but it works for me!

Hello Sara,
Don’t know if you will receive my comment or maybe to busy to respond as I’m sure you are over whelmed with comments. I have also tried what I thought was your email address which am sure is flooded with comments as well. Maybe I have the wrong email address for you as I’m an old fart who doesn’t savvy this new day technology.
I was wanting to make a suggestion to new videos with new content that maybe worth your efforts here in Wyoming.
I know you have been to Wyoming and if you ever plan to come here again there are many historical places of interest within a hundred mile radius here in my location that maybe of interest to video for your channel. I have spent a great deal of time wandering the hills chasing history in this area over the years and now I’ am to old and had to give up my adventures.
If your interested I would be happy to share what I know of the many adventures I have enjoyed over years.
Anyway, I enjoy the adventures you take me on every day. You are a beautiful lady full of spirit and an inspiration to others.
Let me know if my suggestion is of interest to you. I would prefer your reply by way of email instead of social forum.-
Thank you! I have been to Wyoming a few times, and I absolutely love it. It’s one of my favorite states! I haven’t shot very many videos there, though… At least not yet! I definitely plan to return, so if you have any ideas feel free to email them to me. You are right that my email is absolutely flooded, but I try to stay on top of it the best I can!

Is your email (wonderhussy@gmail.com0?

yes!

Hi Sara,
I would like to send you a little cash to help with gas an for taking me along on all your adventures . I am a tech dummy. Maybe you can help me out. Regards, Fred H. the old fart in Wyoming.
P.S. I did email you what I thought would make interesting content for your viewers and hopefully some money if and when you may come to Wyoming.
That email maybe backed up in the flood of emails in your account and why you have not responded yet.

Thank you! I thought I saw and responded to your email.. apologies if I didn’t. I do love Wyoming, I’ve been there a few times and plan to go back again!
Very kind of you to help out with gas. You can either PayPal me at sjfromlv@gmail.com, or if you don’t use paypal, you can just send it the old fashioned way to my mailing address:
1970 N. Leslie St. #648
Pahrump, NV 89060
Thank you for asking! And thank you for your generosity 😃-
Hi Sara,
Seems contacting you by email is a non-working process. I have sent you a few emails in regards to expanding your videos to new places with new content for your channel, with suggestions of several places of historical interest were I am located here in Wyoming. I sent this information using the the email, (wonderhussy@gmail.com}, but never received a reply. This could be a server error on my end or yours. The only reply I receive from you is through your comment platform on your website page, which is fine, but I really do not like to post on social platforms.
I wanted to send you some cash to help with gas and also in a small way pay for the many adventures you have taken me on.Your response was to send send the cash by email (sjfromlv@gmail.com). Which of the two is the correct email address for you?
Please contact me by my (ilove2kats@bresnan.net) email address.
You are an awesome gal full of spunk that has a gift in narrating your videos that makes them so wonderful to watch.
Hope to receive an email from you Best Regards!

Hi Sara, You are a wonderful example of a beautiful inspirational human soul.
You open up about your life with all the highs and lows of your life cycle.
You are courageous and you are a Giver not a Taker.
We are lucky to have you on the planet as you share your experiences.
I enjoy mostly the clothing optional aspects of your travels as Im a nudist and always looking for suitable locations where one can enjoy the experience.
Im from New Zealand and live in Los Angeles.
Please never stop.

Thank you, my friend! I really appreciate those kind words. I’m feeling a little burned out lately, so they came at a good time.. I don’t intend to quit, but thank you for the positive reinforcement!

I moved from Tucson, Arizona to St Joseph, Missouri.

OMG, my sister and I were just talking about you! Glad to hear you’re doing well… That’s a big move! Hope you are enjoying your new home!

Hi Wonderhussy. Long time fan of your YouTube channel. My wife and I and our traveling cat Gypzie are coming through Tecopa tomorrow (T-Day) through Friday and we were wondering if you’d recommend a stay @ Tecopa Hot Springs Resort? Thank you for your educational videos!

All of the resorts in town have their own unique charms! I feel like I can’t really recommend one over another, or I’ll risk offending one of my neighbors :-p
