- Welcome to Wonderhussy Adventure #476
Dates of Adventure: 10/16/20
Hiking to a SUPER remote cabin just outside the boundary of Death Valley, where it meets the military lands known collectively as the R-2508 Special Use Airspace Complex.
Some say this cabin was built back in the 1940s by an employee of Walt Disney, as a desert hideaway...but whatever its history, it has sadly fallen into disrepair thanks to the access road being closed when the area was designated wilderness. But despite the cobwebs and dust, you can see how cozy and well-built this place was!

THANK YOU SARAH AND LARRY,,VERY VERY COOL..STAY WELL
At 11:18 that is a toaster. Old fashion kind. Makes 4 pieces of toast by setting it on top of the wood burner. "Wild Bill" from 77 is a good friend of mine. Known him and his wife for decades. He's also a good friend of Guy Starbucks. He carved his name in every cabin and mine in DV over the years. You'll see his name again I'm sure.
You did find a nice old place, went there as a kid with my family, went through the fort iren base as it was closed in the 60. You were very close to the Edison salt mine on the dry lake, there is a monorail train that ran from there to the train by ridgcrest. Most of it is still there and some is on the base. It is in Death Valley and it is one of the places that park service will not tell you about.
Thank you for sharing! Always a pleasure!!! Be safe and well! See you next time!
It's a toaster. Place it on your stove , let it heat up and lean you bread against it to toast it.
That Made My Hump Day Hilariously Humpier....Cheers Jerome
They work pretty good if you keep an eye on them.
I have a foldable one in my cabover.
Please be careful when you’re poking around in those dusty old spaces. A decent face mask will reduce your chance of inhaling a virus left by a mouse or rat. We enjoy your adventures and want you to stay healthy!
They still those toasters.
An awesome video of a place I likely will never see. Thank you Sara!
Sarah "Pretty Eyes" Wonderhussy....looking good, girl! Love the video as always and praying for you to stay safe and sound during your travels in the crazy weeks to come. No man's land is the place to be!
The big old tree over the cabin is a willow. Willows love water and pioneers would look for willow and cottonwood when they needed a water source or a place to put a well. Keep up the awesome work!!
Must be like a "cork screw willow"...'cause it isn't a weeping willow...may be more willows than I know about.
@chris younts We'd have had more clues if she'd zeroed in on the leaves. But she's not an arborist, after all(8-). Don't tell anyone, but...I'm not either.
@chris younts yes
@chris younts Willows, Cottonwoods and Tamarisks run roots clear to China. They are outlawed in certain areas because the get in to field tiles and other
drainage systems and the roots clog things up.
11:25 is an old four slice toaster for use on wood stove. Prop the slices of bread, toast one side and then flip them and toast the other side.
That kitchen item is a toaster. My Dad used to have one... early family camping trips....he loved that toaster! 😀
That is one effed up Airbnb! 😉
That square pyramid thing was a toaster. Used on a gas stove.
Will Bill carved his name in almost every cabin in the Death Valley area. Some are gone or burnt, but you can still find his name well carved in a prominent place in many of the cabins left. In the 1980s he was selling artwork for a time in one of the other cabins you visited not too long ago made from a “train car”. I think he might have done one or two of the pieces on the walls in there. I never met him, but my dad met him a couple of times while he was staying in Panamint Valley and at the “train cabin”. He gave him a ride somewhere in the bed of his truck...
The old kitchen appliances is a bread toaster that you would put on the stove or your campfire. Used one for years. To bad the back door caved in to fill in the cabin with dirt.
A truly great video! rock on desert princess!
Fearless, as always! I can't tell you how much I admire your bravery and independence!!
RockOn!
Eminence frontx5
That was a toaster designed to use over a stove.
You one brave lil lady to go to some of these places. Stay safe
It's fine, lil buddy, she's got a companion
I think that book was called Working Girl!
Loved the RoadRunner
maybe it's the cartoons when i was a kid, but i thought road runners were 2-ft. tall!!! :-0
LAR-ry is awesome.
11:20 Toaster 😉
Set on small flame, lean 4 slices of bread.. toast!
✌️PT
For the age and desolation that cabin is still in pretty good condition! Thanks for taking the hike in guys!👍
Amazed,,that the Desert Rat tweakers havent destroyed it..
That pine panelling is still nice...
5 sisters so always last... That steel item you picked up is a toaster that can work on gas stoves and it's easiest to cut your bread in half monitoring the flame closely... Flipping the bread over using a butter knife to wedge in between... I have used one here on this mountain for 40 years
I can not wait to finally get to Vegas and start exploring my Google Maps is loaded with Pins!!
Sarah, you have done an outstanding job young lady. Keep it up and we'll be there for you. Thanks for sharing.
That was a nice cabin in the day. To think everything had to be packed in to get it there. It makes one think about what is really a necessity. Why the lipstick, you are more beautiful without it.
This would be a dream honeymoon cabin for Wonderhussy it just needs a little tidening up.
The question is...would she be marrying a man or a woman ?
Love them Wonderhussy Wednesdays
Yup ... "Working" by Studs Terkel. You'd probably like it!
"Working: People Talk About What They Do All Day and How They Feel About What They Do is a 1974 nonfiction book by the oral historian and radio broadcaster Studs Terkel"
And the ancient kitchen appliance is a toaster --- we have one in our vintage travel trailer.
Reminder, let the ads play through, that's how you can support this channel.
But to show true love, you must click through on every one of them. I think she's doing fine in any case. Besides, she makes a killing when I fall asleep while playing a playlist.
What ads?

Hussey fix thank you your the BEST. Rey Pennsylvania.. love it...
Oh miss hussey you're too cool for school . Really neat adventure. Looking forward to the next one! !!
Always great adventures 5 star videos !
I am glad Larry joined you, Wonderhussy.👏
The old wives tale is bee's can lead you to water , I know they gather in a bunch before they leave in the morning , I'd rather follow a big slow bumblebee 😂
I have a friend who has a cabin a couple of miles away from the nearest road. He uses it during hunting season and packs everything in by back pack or he uses a mountain bike with a home made trailer he fabbed from an old grocery store shopping cart. Looks funny as hell but he's hauled out quartered out elk with it. Good wheels from another junked mountain bike and some welding skills did the trick!
the thing at 11:18 is a toaster
can be set over a hot stove
Also you place the toaster over hot coals or heat source. Cooglans still manufactures that collapsible toaster. Nice video always.
Cool old toaster!
Nice old cabin, I would have drove that trail!! 👍🇺🇸❤
That tin thing is a toaster. You sit it on a burner and lean your bread (up to four slices) against the sides. You turn the slices around to do the other side. We had one in our 1974 VW Campmobile...
Thank you for producing this blog! It was interest! Sad to see the shape of the cabin! Nice scenery and hike! Looking forward to the next series from Death Valley! Stay safe, awesome and adventurous! 🌺🤙😀🍔
I love those lawn chairs.
Nasty cabin I wouldn't go in there.
Still watching for the 2 time Yikers!
Heaven Been out there quite a few times in the last 76 yrs Now I am STUCK back east for good Thank you for allowing me to see it
Awesome vintage toaster
@4:19 - As the famous baseball player Yogi Berra once said: "When you come to a fork in the road, take it !" 😏
Chukars calling when you where looking for spring, water must be near by for them to covey up ...
I'd really love to more about the history of that cabin. Thanks for the tour...
That Was An "OLD" Toaster You Picked Up On The Shelf In The Cabin. Put It Over Heat Source - After You Put Bread Under Those Wire Rectangles On The Side (They Held The Bread In Place To Be Toasted)
Wonderhussy awesomeness. Great little cabin. Had to have been a special place in its day. Thanks for sharing with us, Sarah.
Girl you cray! That cabin is a mess! 😲
thank you for posting the Date of Adventure
That must have been one cosy cabin in its heyday; nice and shady with all those (willow?) trees around
Remember that place for when the world ends. It'll be a good place to stay.
Looks more like a Mtn Bike road, preferably an Mtn EBike....Nice critter hotel...that grater looking device looks to be a stove top toaster....
Always a treat when The WH and Larry of EminenceFrontX5 hook up....They put some serious pounding on those trails but always a great Story when all is said and done! Cheers From Ohio
Great video I could watch y'all all day long thanks for sharing
Ft. Irwin/NTC spent some time there, 18 years ago. Still getting dust out of stuff, lol.
By NTC do you mean China Lake NAWS/NAWC, or formerly, NWC?
@@talanigreywolf7110 National Training Center at Fort Irwin. I was an Air Force Weather forecaster assigned to the 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment.
I would say that a willow tree in Death Valley should be the most likely place to find water. And that looked like a willow tree to me.
That weird four sided thing with slots is a toaster used with a fire. Bon Appétit.
I knew “Wild ‘Bill”, great guy, never went 4-wheeling with him though.
Used to live in the Arizona desert and miss the hiking. Enjoy all your videos. Thanks
Larry is super cool,love his channel!
You know, It's not a kitchen sink until it actually starts sinking >
Your brighten my life. THANKS!
I seriously busted out laughing at "MEEP MEEP", & I can't stop 🤣🤣
A real roadrunner..........did ya evah?
@@johnholcomn8560
There's a guy who has a shop, & a roadrunner would come & visit inside the garage daily.
It was so cool! I can't remember who he is, but I haven't seen any new roadrunner posts in a long time, so he must've quit visiting.
That kitchen appliance is an old toaster!
That kitchen appliance is a: TOASTET!!
What a cool old cabin love there’s still some awesome finds out there glad you finally got to get out there as always be safe 👍👍
WH- Love the ROADRUNNER AND YOU .! I haven't seen one in a long time.
Good stuff huss!! what a reeeeee-mote
spot!! You n Larry make a good team, he's gettin better each time out on screwtoob. Love the camaraderie you 2 have. Beautiful sites, Well done
"What is this?" at 11:17 is a toaster. It's used over a camp stove or woodstove. You have to manually flip your bread.
The bird squawking under the tree is a delicious chukar
awesome !
a very Historic cabin
LOL!! Larry is so cool!
That is one cabin that needs a real " good" cleaning !
@@davidbacon9223 i would have done the same thing.Clean, clean, clean.
My Junior High School made the roadrunner bird our mascot. We wanted the Warner Brothers one but they denied us, so we picked the bird.
If I was there with you , it would be called one man's land. Nice vid lil bit. ;)
Bees and a bird. I bet there's surface water somewhere around there.
Your hair looked amazing. I'd love to see you get your brows microbladded and your lashes done
That could still be a cool lil cabin with just a little work. But sadly no- one that visits it has been willing to “start” on it😞. Sad that one person
Built it and it’s lasted all these years..
Agree.
Go visit, bring a shovel and remove some of the dirt in the cabin. Its just a little work as you say, Dixie.
@@williamkeith8944 . done it👍🏻
Too bad that nature took its toll on that cabin. Looks like it was a nice little retreat in its day. Stay safe out there.
No wonder Sarah goes thru shocks. From her dash cam it looks like she was pounding them at the speeds she drives on those rough roads!
Kitchen appliance that you were talking about is a toaster.👍🏼
That area is known as the "Bowling Alley". It was a narrow strip of BLM land nestled between Death Valley and Fort Irwin, abutting China Lake on the West. The cabin was along an old (1940's and before) route to Death Valley. People would make their way up from Hinkley, through Copper City. Some would continue north through Wingate Pass (known as Windy Pass back then), others would venture east to what is now Ft. Irwin, and proceed north through the spring where the cabin is. The cabin was the home of a biologist for several years as he studied the spring area, its vegetation, and critters. I think I have an article about him. If I find it, I will email it to you. The Bowling Alley was BLM but is now part of Death Valley. The transfer was part of the Great American Outdoors Act that President Trump signed in March 2019. It's been implied since that the park service plans to close access to most areas there and up through Crystal Hills due to their remoteness and lack of rangers to patrol the areas. They probably will leave some limited access as there is a radio transmitter on one of the hills that will still need access somehow.
Thanks for actual information
Is that a blow up pool I see in the back seat of your rig? Must be nice to travel with your own hot springs tub. Rock on!
omgawd, haven't seen a roadrunner for over 40 years. Still want to see the video Larry took of your Mojave tour, when he put his camera under the TRAIN !!
11:25 a toaster.
You heat it up on a burner then start placing slices of bread one at a time
1-2-3 and by the time you've placed #4 turn #1 around and keep going.
When you've completed the 2nd cycle start plating the finished toast while replacing
new slices of bread.
With the right timing and temperature you can efficiently toast-up a whole loaf
bread on a merry-go-round system (with a fresh slice of finished toast coming off every 10 seconds or so)
The pilgrims served-up a whole tribe of Algonquin Indians at the 1st Thanksgiving Brunch that way.
Loved this one!
The pyramid wire item is a stove top toaster. 💜
This is really good stuff. Keep it going as long as you can. Love your videos and style,
The book is "Working", by Studs Terkel. The 4-sided kitchen gadget is a toaster. It sits atop a stove. Glad to see you removed that lipstick, Sarah. Your lips are fine as they are, just as nature designed them.
These remote cabins make me curious about the people who lived in them. A peaceful place to be. Wind, sun, rain, birds, insects ... Life reduced to its basic elements.
"Working" "toaster" indeed Grey Jay. So much intact glass! TY Sarah. Gray Jay is right, you look fine without all the extra "grooming". Nice to see you wearing boots.
Yes a toaster! I have one like it in my kitchen cabinet. Definately a collectors item.
"Working" by Studs Terkel. Who would have guessed? Haha!
Toaster yes!
Beep beep
...lmao.. You make me laugh .. Not easy to do these days ... Thanks for that ..
LovinU
That unidentified appliance in the cabin was a toaster, believe it or not! You warm up your oven and put 4 slices of bread on the toaster (one on each side) then stick it in the oven. Remove when golden brown.
