In four hours on GoFundMe already $4k donated! What a lovely thing you did for these folks. So glad Mark thought to call you and let the world know it was about to lose yet another historic landmark and the sweet lady who owns it! I hope they far exceed the amount they are looking for and can fix the place up and once again make it a fun place to stop for lunch and gawking at the walls!
Ya, have a little respect. We are All getting Older. I see the difference in Your Face Too Sarah. I'm so ugly now, the mirror Breaks everytime I Take a Look.
I doubt that. My beautiful neighbor told me her body was getting too small for her skin. But she still shovels rock and rakes it in her yard. She just attended her 35th high school grad. I'm sure she was the most tricked out woman there. No real tricks. Total beauty. In my old time opinion. @zodemarco4393
I'm retired, living on a fixed income. I made a small donation to this awesome cause. I have driven past the Bagdad Cafe but never entered the famous cafe. I would like to thank the Wonderhussy for bringing this effort to everyone's attention! This is why all of your supporters love you Sarah, I am also a desert rat, thank you so much! I hope and pray enough funding is received to save this important route 66 structure. I thank and wish Andrea the Very Best is saving this facility!
Was an OTR Trucker for 5 years been watching your channel for a long time. Never Commented on a video. Your A Saint. You've done good by these poor people helping them raise funds so they can repair their cool historical joint. I hope someone will keep an eye on that sweet ol lady and make sure she's not being taken advantage of. So she can live out her 84th and 85th year in happiness watching her business blossom again like it used to. Much respect Wonder Hussy. 🤘
They need to build a huge outdoor area where they can have live bands, have BBQ and food trucks show up and get the motorcycle crowd there, build a big bathroom for lots of people. So a big shindig at least once a month.
You're supporting a noble cause there, Sarah Jane. Let's hope many new customers and supporters will get their kicks on Route 66 and revitalise the Bagdad Cafe.
I wish I could visit Bagdad Cafe....but this " little olde lady" ....is a local nomad in R.I. I travel to interesting and far far away locations vicariously through channels like Wonderhussey...(who will be one day in disguise as a little olde lady too).
In Germany, the movie was called "Out of Rosenheim" and was a great success. It was directed by Percy Adlon. So funny and a little sad. Marianne Sägebrecht played the Bavarian woman who, through strange circumstances, ends up in the Bagdad cafe in the USA. Very good! Nice to see the location.
Bagdad Cafe is such a charming, sweet film, and I'm so glad Andrea and Mark are trying to save the place. I'm happy to support their fundraiser - thanks for giving them visibility!
Hi Sarah U.K sub here. Been a subscriber for about 3 years. Not sure why but this brought a tear. Lovely lady. Amazing that the chap stopped by while you were there. I've commented before but you have a great command of language, and are very eloquent. Regards from Chester North West England. A Roman town with an Amphitheatre.
I donated a small amount and am sharing in rockhounding groups that often have collecting trips in the area, hope they get the help they need to get their roof fixed and their morale raised! :)
Today, the Wonder Hussy got me to 'Get my Kicks, on Route 66' !! And hopefully some of the fellas that worked out at the WH Compound are listening and will be able to step up, lend a hand to these fine folks in the Mojave Desert and keep the infamous Bagdad Cafe alive and on the map !!.....take care and travel on WH !!
Upon checking the gofund me now has nineteen thousand one hundred and sixty eight dollars donated of the twenty thousand that they were asking for.❤ It's so awesome. What a wonderful gift you're giving these people in the people want to come your saving history
I first came through here in 1986,the end of the first day of my 3000 mile tour. A family invited me in for the night, and fed me. My name is Bicycle Bob and I approved this message and Newberry Springs is a very special and spiritual place to me. Luv ya,Wunderhussy.
@WonderhussyAdventuress I also had something else happen in Newberry Springs almost 30 years ago, I was finishing a 5 for 5.95 Arby's and a large dog came up to me, I gave her a sandwich, and she gently took it in her mouth and turned around and walked away with purpose. I wonder what happened to the sandwich to this day, I hope to have an answer, probably from God. My name is Bicycle Bob and I approved this message and your beauty.
Sarah, I wonder if your friend Randy or maybe even Mike Z could help them out? If not maybe they could do a 'go fund me" to get things fixed. Bless you for making this video and bringing it to everyones attention to help this lady and her business.
Wow!! Been years since i was out that way, I still have my Military maps from that area. I dropped a hundred dollars a few minutes ago and by the time i got back to the page ,the donation jar had another thousand dollars in it, Congratulations Sarah, you've done it again. I've been so tied down lately with some unforeseen problems that I have fallen behind my U-Tube watching and responding. Hope to get a letter out soon, love ya much, Old Kenny ❤
Bagdad Cafe is one of my favorite movies and it is good to know that Andrea has been running it for over 30 years. I've also donated small amount of money and would like to visit there someday!
Wife and I stopped by on a pre-retirement trip to CA in 2019. Spend the afternoon drinking very cold Silver Bullets, ate great buffalo burgers with fries and more cold Silver Bullets while welcoming the tour buss passengers. It was a blast! Thanks Miss Pruett for hosting. Hope that we can make the trip again and meet you . Closest I could get to Route 66 was $66.69🤣. Best of luck in the future. Take care.
Yes ,I watched that movie , jack Palace last role , i think, great , bizarre western conundrum movie..... loved it, ! Love the Germans, thay love to travel out here. My best fruebd /Rani is ov that descent...... lol
Love this video. I'm not French, but Bagdad Cafe is One of my all time favorite movies. I bought it in the 1980s and watch it over and over again periodically.. Also visited the Bagdad Cafe a couple years ago on my way home from Death Valley - had breakfast; chatted with the cook; bought a hat; and took a photo of the yellow coffee thermos featured in the movie. So much fun. Good luck to Andrea.
Thank you so much for doing this! Andre is such a special person. I hope someday you’ll go back to spend time to hear her story. I used to lives across the street on Nopal Lane and would go to the cafe and sit and listen to her stories for hours. She also owns the historic Echo Ranch which is a very special gem but completely run down old homestead at the base of the Newberry mountains. Thank you for doing this video and helping her raise the money to fix the cafe. I love you so much 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Thanks for bringing everybody up to date on the Bagdad Cafe Huell Howser did one many years ago as well the German accent isn't bad thanks for the video Wonder hussy
Hey Wonderhussy! Nice to see you're not too far from my other neighborhood. (twenty min W of Kingman) I hope you get a chance to explore the Mt. Nutt Wilderness on your way west on Route 66. From downtown Kingman, on Andy Devine (Rte66), turn left on Historic Route 66, follow it passed where it intersects with I40, then turn left on Oatman Hwy (Rte66). Look for a sign that says "Rest Stop" and the commode, lol, veer right on Navajo Dr, go 1 mile. Turn right on Garnet and take any roads to the left that go up into the foothills. Trail heads are everywhere. Our future UAP observatory site is at the end of Zentiff. It was great meeting you and your awesome sister Alija at the Inyo Fire event! The mood and music lights I promised are back in production, and will ship ASAP. Here's some gas money in the meantime. Best, Wayne
I wouldn't send anyone to garnet unless they have a jeep. I live in golden valley and went through there once. its too bad the county doesent fix that road fromm 66 to gv
@@stephendfelde I drive my pickup through there all the time, I have family that lives there, and plenty of people who live in the area drive sedans. However, you are correct in pointing out that there can be issues right after a major rain event. In that case the county is usually quick to fix any damage to the roads I mentioned, usually within a day. It's possible you had a case of bad timing when you visited. But yeah, if there was more than a half an inch, I would avoid the area for a few days. But if you've seen enough WH videos, the roads she regularly encounters are far worse than anything that area has to offer, even on a bad day. Plus, I would never put Sarah or anyone else in danger, for goodness sakes!
Huell would be very proud you are helping that cafe, he loved the place , like all of us. Sad Route 66 has been ignored, a significant historical site. Going to check it out someday, when I can visit you and the dessert. Keep Rocking and Racing 💜
The Baghdad Cafe is certainly of historical value and is worth preserving for visitors SarahJane. Never seen the movie myself, but sounds like it meant alot to many folk, especially the french. Glad you got the "Go Fund" a kick start for Owner Andre Pruitt and helper Mark.Nice donation from a passerby. I'm sure they will get enough money for the roofs wet rot and other things that need attending to.🎯👊👍☝👌🙂😎
I think the state of California should help out this historical site for future travelers. It was part of Gov Newsom's draconian lock downs that caused many people to suffer and their small businesses to shutter.
As always. Count on Sarah to get involved and help out. You are so much more than people would ever realize. You're amazing Sarah. Don't change. This place needs more wonder in it.
As a person that grew up in the desert and always enjoyed it l have always appreciated your you tube videos. Some of the places you visited are places from my youth. However what you are doing this time is awesome. I cannot become more of a fan but it is a major reason l will remain a huge fan. I guess l should watch the movie.
I'm an American and my daughter &I love the movie... we watch it about once a year.. and since daughter lives in California we make the pilgrimage to Bagdad ever so... It's a fun movie and with the big move to live in RVs & vans.. it would be a great movie for Nomads to see.
Ha! The Bagdad Cafe came up in conversation today. We were talking about places to eat or stop for cheaper fuel when east of Barstow. Good to know its still there. Saw the movie overseas. It is a Classic, perfectly cast, beautifully told story.
Watched your video on the Bagdad Cafe this morning. Watched the "Bagdad Cafe" movie this afternoon. Made GoFundMe donation to repair the cafe building this evening. Thanks Wonderhussy!
BRAVO WH! That was a GREAT video. I'm so glad you went there and brought awareness to their business. I feel terrible that I never stopped there on my m,any travels on the I40, whizzing past The Cafe on my way to see my folks in Lake Havasu in the 90's. I feel for the owner and I'll do my best to help. God Bless You.
I lived in Newberry as a kid. Started off living in the motel that was next to the Sidewinder Cafe, both of which catered to the route 66 travelers before the interstate was put in. That Cafe went on to be the Baghdad cafe after the movie, of which quite a bit of it was shot in the same run down Motel. Then my family moved out into a piece of property very near where these homes were, and we lived out there for a year before we got electricity. We had horses and pasture land. It was an adventure, but just the same, when I turned 18 I left immediately. After having lived in the desert, some people say you carry a piece of it around in your heart, but I don't believe that's true. Instead it keeps a piece of you there. If you ever get to go out to the Ord Mountains south of Newberry, some of the most amazing petroglyphs I've ever seen in my life still exist out there. Thank you for taking me back to this area. A lot of memories for sure.
That’s absolutely awesome Sarah Jane W.H huge respect for you👌🏻and 🫶all you do!~Miss Andrea you are a sweetheart. I hope you’re able to get back up and running strong🍔🥧🇨🇦
Congrats on the money donated. I loved that movie. It was on rotation on the Sundance or the Independent Film Channel in the 2000s. I think about it each and every time i drive to or back from Vegas from Long Beach Ca. There is a tiny dilapidated A-frame building on the side of I-15 that always reminds me of Baghdad Cafe. Sorry, more than the roof needs repair. If the money is there it should be remodeled in the way it looked in the film and sorry politely removed the memorability. If at all possible billboards near I-40 pr even I-15 should be placed. If I knew where it was id stop. In the film part of the charm was how warm and invited the Baghdad Cafe was. Yeah it was a sweet little film. Thanks Ms Hussy
Sarah you really need to see this movie! It's so uniquely charming! I saw it when it was first released. I was really little but always remembered it, then within the last 10 or so years watched it again and again and love it even more. They even made a TV program based off the movie starring Whoopi Goldberg and Jean Stapleton.
Yes, I remember this movie. Kind of a sweet and quirky kind of story. They aired it on HBO and Cinemax for a period of time. Didn't know this place actually existed. Thanks for sharing.
Bagdad Cafe is one of my favorite movies, and one of the main characters lived in the airstream! It was pretty big here - I saw it in one of those art movie theaters in San Diego back in the 90's.
Just dropped a donation @ the Bagdad Café . . . great job, Sarah . . . and don't forget about the short-lived CBS sitcom of the same name, with Jean Stapleton and Whoopi Goldberg.
The movie made the inpact on me, to start a big interest in Mojave desert and by that i came to know your chanel. Hope to come there some day and see the great area myself. Thank you for what you did Sara to help restore the cafe and to visit that part of Mojave❤
I saved this episode and every chance I get I will be donating to the go fund me. Being I am a native desert rat and miss it a lot it’s definitely something I want to be a part of 👍👍
I personally I work with a guy who buys heavy duty vinyl tarps that were billboards. Very cost effective reuse of thick traps. You can baton them down.
Amazing! Thank you for using your platform to help some folks that could really use it! I hope they can make those repairs and have the business running the way they want it to! I just hope at 83 I have half her energy and desire to do something as amazing as an open a cafe! She is incredible! Thank you for shining a light on some awareness people! The big bad world isn’t bad everywhere. ❤
The $20K goal was reached! Thank you Wonderhussy for such an amazing act of kindness.

20k now. 👌
Over 20 k !
This is why we love Sarah ❤ anyone who talks bad about her is a idiot
We made it! I am so happy and exciting that we hit the $20K goal!
She’s not a little old lady. She’s the beautiful, strong, resilient, and amazing Andrea.

I made a small donation, I hope to do Route 66 someday, and I would love to stop by. Good luck!
I used to work at the tow yard across the street in the 90's.
That’s absolutely awesome Sarah Jane W.H huge respect for you👌🏻and 🫶all you do!~Miss Andrea you are a sweetheart. I hope you’re able to get back up and running strong🍔🥧🇨🇦
I read the book. Beautiful story.
Sarah, you are under informed.
What made the cafe point special was the lady from Bavaria, not the movie.
Great video Sarah! Another good place for me to stop on my way to Death Valley, Tecopa, etc. very soon.
You're a welcome site where ever you go. ❤
Congrats on the money donated. I loved that movie. It was on rotation on the Sundance or the Independent Film Channel in the 2000s. I think about it each and every time i drive to or back from Vegas from Long Beach Ca. There is a tiny dilapidated A-frame building on the side of I-15 that always reminds me of Baghdad Cafe. Sorry, more than the roof needs repair. If the money is there it should be remodeled in the way it looked in the film and sorry politely removed the memorability. If at all possible billboards near I-40 pr even I-15 should be placed. If I knew where it was id stop. In the film part of the charm was how warm and invited the Baghdad Cafe was. Yeah it was a sweet little film. Thanks Ms Hussy
If anybody can help them you can. Your subscribers are awesome. Good luck.
Sarah you really need to see this movie! It's so uniquely charming! I saw it when it was first released. I was really little but always remembered it, then within the last 10 or so years watched it again and again and love it even more. They even made a TV program based off the movie starring Whoopi Goldberg and Jean Stapleton.
Yes, I remember this movie. Kind of a sweet and quirky kind of story. They aired it on HBO and Cinemax for a period of time. Didn't know this place actually existed. Thanks for sharing.
Bagdad Cafe is one of my favorite movies, and one of the main characters lived in the airstream! It was pretty big here - I saw it in one of those art movie theaters in San Diego back in the 90's.
Just dropped a donation @ the Bagdad Café . . . great job, Sarah . . . and don't forget about the short-lived CBS sitcom of the same name, with Jean Stapleton and Whoopi Goldberg.
That's a classic alright!😂❤yes the pandemic hit all of us pretty hard!!!
The movie made the inpact on me, to start a big interest in Mojave desert and by that i came to know your chanel. Hope to come there some day and see the great area myself. Thank you for what you did Sara to help restore the cafe and to visit that part of Mojave❤
God bless you Sarah Jane! ❤
Watched the movie on prime video, such a great film. Perfect place for your 777 video.
Oh and donated also!
I had to stop watching your video and watch the Bagdad Cafe movie. And then finished your video. The movie was really good!
I'm always cheered up when you drop a new vid, but this is the most feel-good vid ever! Thanks for all you do to make our days better,. Sarah Jane!
Hi Sarah, Spider here, Saw that movie a few times , loved it it was so strange, but that was the appeal.Glad your doing another video on it.
I loved the film, wonderful eccentric characters.
I saved this episode and every chance I get I will be donating to the go fund me. Being I am a native desert rat and miss it a lot it’s definitely something I want to be a part of 👍👍
Well done, WH. 💯
They can tarp that roof until they can get it fixed, winds are crazy out that way so secure it well!
Need muscle they are too old to be climbing on a roof.
Getting someone to do for the right thing to do now days is a miracle.
I personally I work with a guy who buys heavy duty vinyl tarps that were billboards. Very cost effective reuse of thick traps. You can baton them down.
Amazing! Thank you for using your platform to help some folks that could really use it! I hope they can make those repairs and have the business running the way they want it to! I just hope at 83 I have half her energy and desire to do something as amazing as an open a cafe! She is incredible! Thank you for shining a light on some awareness people! The big bad world isn’t bad everywhere. ❤
That is one of my favourite films, thanks for the video.
