Ps I love your movies! Never stop. I'm one of those that cant travel due to illnesses. Please NEVER doubt your talent for taking us there!

I love your determination and drive! Not many people today have that ambition!

Very nice of the Ranger to let you in to see the rifle! What a treat!

Great hike! I believe that lighter in the mailbox is there for lighting your doobies. LOL

Love those Darn Tough socks! Not cheap, but worth it if you hike a lot. The ones I own are Merino wool and you can wear them multiple days in a row without an odor. Also lifetime wear guarantee.

The Bristlecone Pines, unlike the Sequoias and Redwoods, have the wonderful character that shows their looong life's journey. Thanks SJ.

There is way to lace your boots to keep your toes from sliding forward. It works! Look on KZfaq

Safe travels young lady.

Thank you for taking me to the summit! When I was at Great Basin, I decided it was not in the cards for my old man knees and hips! You’re the Best!!

The rifle is a Winchester Model 1873, a beautiful and popular rifle then and now. Winchester still makes the rifle, although the gun is made by Miroku in Japan. Uberti, an Italian gunmaker, also makes a popular replica of the famous lever action. Some people say the Winchester 1873 was the AR-15 of its day. The gun was issued to military troops and was popular amongst the civilians. A movie was made of the gun, "Winchester 1873", starring Jimmu Stewart

Here is additional information about the oldest living (non-clonal) tree in the world. This off the top of my head, without doing any research. I lied, just after typing that sentence I looked the situation up. In 1964 the Methuselah Tree was 4,793, years old and located in the White Mountains, on the Inyo National Forest in California. The Prometheus Tree was aged at 4,862 years old in 1964 and located on what was then the Humboldt National Forest. It is now in Great Basin National Park. That means old Prometheus was 69 years older at the time. It was a true tragedy this happened. A researcher, a PhD candidate, was researching the tree and his increment borer got stuck in the tree. These borers take a core sample that is removed from the center of the borer. The U.S. Forest Service and the researcher did not think tree was that old so they decided to cut the tree down to retrieve the borer. They were stunned when they realized what happened. The story was not widely publicized so as far as most people knew Methuselah had always been the oldest pine tree. Unbeknownst to anyone until 2013, there was a tree older than Methuselah and Prometheus during all of this. In 2013 someone at the Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research on the campus of the University of Arizona began to analyze some tree ring cores that were collected in the 1920's by the founder of modern "Dendrochronology," A.E. Douglass. The cores revealed a tree that was older than known at the time. I'm not aware of any name given it but it is now 5,066 years old. It was 5,010 years old in 1964, making it 148 years older than Prometheus and 161 years older than Methuselah that year. I worked on 4 national forests in 4 different states during my U.S. Forest Service career, the last 10 on the Inyo National Forest, the home of the Methuselah and the "new" oldest tree. The location of both is highly guarded on that forest. As a USFS employee I could not get the location of either. My work involved coring more than 100 trees per year, so the increment borer is very familiar to me. This is a long story, but for a guy like me who likes trees, it is fascinating.

Coincidentally my mom's birthday today she would have been 99 love my mom she was a Saint. Everybody loved My Mom. Hug your Mom's everyday you can. Thank you for the great Video.

13.000 feet! I hope people appreciate what good shape you have to be in to hike up that high. I’ve only been that high once in my life, when I was 13, and I was sucking wind then at that altitude!

MAN….. you. Keep showing me great hikes that I would love to make…. and your attitude and funny take really make your videos enjoyable…. You are a natural WH… and a rarity …. Thanks

You are the craziest 😅 I so love you for it. You always make me smile and laugh, so I always look forward to Wednesdays. Your not alone when you describe your thoughts when hiking, when I used to do long distance running I would imagine taking apart a car or take apart an engine and rebuild it in my head. Thank you for taking us along and your hard work is not lost to us, your loved by many and our prayers are always with you. God bless you Sarah Jane.👍👍👍👍👍❤🇺🇸

You have gotten so much better since I first watched you over a year or so ago. You so animated with your eyes when your describing the camp and was fun to watch. WELL I'm hoping that you keep on TRUCKING and will Cya around the next bend wherever you stop!!

Greetings from Flagstaff, AZ. I enjoyed our little adventure, you made it seem like I was right along with you. Thank you for sharing!

Fantastic view from up there! 8000 years ago you would see a lot of water all around! You're like on top of the world Sarah.

I went there last year and there was a tiny squirrel seeking handouts. Really improbable because there's nothing else for a squirrel to eat at the top of that mountain! I left a little bottle of Boost oxygen in that mailbox. I had brought it because I was 65 and didn't quite have the confidence to think I could do that hike without maybe getting altitude sickness.

It’s like being on top of the WORLD!!! That view is just beautiful! Thank you for bringing us along! Hope we weren’t too heavy! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Good for you Wonderhussy, you should do all of the 14er's in CA while your at it. Very good way to stay in shape.

Great report. I'm riding my motorcycle there in two weeks for a few nights camping. You have inspired me to try Wheeler Peak. Will also be staying at the Hotel Nevada, the Mizpah Hotel, and trying some of that Basil Hayden stuff. So this will be a Wonderhussy inspired adventure for me. Keep up the fantastic videos.

Thanks for the great video and showing us the contents of the mailbox. I guess I'm just nosy or rather curious to see what others leave when they use the mailbox.Your videos ae always the best as you show us what is going on as well as talk to us. You do a great job! Thanks for the journey--Sara Jane---

@12:49 --- When you see a USGS marker like that with an arrow and the word "reference" stamped on it, please follow the arrow (for usually a short distance) and you will find the MAIN marker. It may have useful information on it -- it will certainly be of interest to a lot of us.

Really enjoy your vids and appreciate your hard work.....thank you

Nice little hike... Just what I needed this afternoon.

I was there 18th thru the 20th stayed on Baker Creek and snake creek. I've been 3 times this year. I love it because no-one goes there.

Well that was a lot of fun thank you, good hike you still got it, be feeling that for a few days, looking good

Great Hike and Video!!! Take Care and Stay Safe Wonderhussy!!!!!

That mountain road going up is exactly why I'm building my adventure trike. Love ya SJ

Yes I rewatch old videos cause she is like watching a TV but better

Yup! That girl has talents! Just finished watching your majestic endeavor,and happened upon KZfaq’s Great Basin National Park nps aired March.19.2021 WOWthe info in that NPS special was enlightening and you were right they mentioned the ancient pine trees WOW! 💝🙏🇺🇸

BOY!!! after that cold plunge you could drive or hike most anywhere!!!

Great hike Wonderhussy looked up the trees you were talking about. Very fascinating! I’m adding these areas to my bucket list.

Beautiful hike Huss.

Nice park I loved the video by the mailbox

You are SO funny and fearless! Come through Tucson and pick me up, girl. I'll bring the steaks AND the martinis😁

Once again. Another quality travel video by the mistress of travel videos. Well done Sarah Jane. And that 360deg panorama view at the top was absolutely spectacular ! ✔

What a good hike and great excercise,good job.Thx for sharing your beautiful state!

Thanks for taking us places that some of us can't go. You da best!

Happy day my Wonderhussy morning!!

Great hike !!!

TY for the great view from the top up there

Awesome. I need to get out there one of these days.

You would be so much fun to hike with.Great work , keep it up!

Totally new to me educational info about the trees. Thanks for broadening my knowledge.

Its a cool park we went there in 2017 when we set out our full time rv living adventure, the road to the top was closed in June due to heavy snowfall that winter,so thanks for sharing the view from the top Sarah, like you we really like the Winchester gun ,and the cave was not too impressive it was torn up by people before the park service got it,the coolest living cave is kartchner caverns in Benson AZ if you haven't seen it Go😃✌

You're the best. Those are my favorite socks.

That's a fantastic hike. I have climbed it and it certainly wasn't as difficult as some it was gorgeous. I am pleased you shared your experiences as well as many others. I think I have been to at least 15 of the places you have been to including Namibia! Keep having fun.

Love our Darn Tough socks…..worth every cent since they replace them if you wear them out! There are plenty of things to see and old ruins and lots of great hiking….there is an old cable car above Johnson Lake. Much more than just the cave, even though it is beautiful! Late September sometimes a bit later the aspen are incredible with their golden colors!

Today (8-19) is my mom's birthday. I lost her in 2001. She would have been 93 today. The entry you read really hit a nerve and brought tears to my eyes. Love your videos, keep 'em coming.

Lehman Caves are awesome.

You are the smartest and funniest women I have seen on video.

Very impressive!

Gosh darn, another near encounter. Just passed through the park a few days ago. Too hot & smokey to hike, so was looking forward to some cool cave time... until I saw the closed sign...wah, wah, wah.

Beautiful place with very few visitors. Wheeler Peak also has a small glacier with runoff flowing into a pretty alpine lake.

Wow I Love your hikes And all of your videos! your the bomb wondersHussey You always put a smile on my face 😆 I Love you wonderHussey🥰 Be safe out and have lots of fun😉

This is beautiful

Great video....

We hate "Spoondockers" ( people who camp so close you feel like they're spooning with you ). Why do they always have to camp so close to you when there are so many other empty spots? Nice video , thanks for sharing.

Jolly good show skinny dipping in that cold water brought tears to my eyes lol 😂

This video cheered me up. thank you WH!

Thank You for traveling for those of us who can't. O and I love cats. What a loving thing having pet dads and moms remember there loved ones remembered in this way

I'm here ! It's gonna be a good day with Wonderhussy.

When my mom was alive I used to call her every night before I went to sleep.. I miss that.. My sister told me after she died that she waited for my call.. Love ya mom..

Ahhh there's my wonder friend lol!!! Wow that's a hike and a half there but very interesting ,stay safe dear love ya

I've been there! Went hike to bristle cone pine grove, did NOT tour the cave though. Very nice park, liked they're weren't many visitors there.

Wow!! That land is truly vast!

Been there twice, first time I was much younger and made it to the glacier and the bristlecones, Second time across Nevada by Hwy 50 on Motorcycle. One of the best places for nighttime sky.

Nice video gain Sarah. Best channel!

It beautiful in its own way

Great info and views 🥾 😎❤️ Subscribed - Michael

Clonal. Trees sprout from the roots of another. Same species.

Great channel. My wife would of loved your channel!

Like a mentioned, even the commercials are doable on your channel, and I’ve shared your channel with friendstoo

Nevada is great for places like this. Out in the middle of now where rise tall mountains with awesome ecosystems divided by 20 to 40 miles of high desert . When I was at Wheeler there was a big Black Turkey in the middle of the road .

Thank you for video’s of Nevada, I’ve lived here for over 20 and I’m just now starting to explore our state.

I'll be there in a week or so. I can't wait to look for your sticker.

Also, I believe Wheeler Peak is the tallest free-standing mountain in Nevada that doesn’t share a border with another state. There is another peak that’s slightly taller, but part of it lies within California.

I have an old rifle from 1810 that was found in my grandmother's attic.

I like when you get all spread out in that pool of water! 😉😍

How wonderful, a government official not afraid to to make a common sense call. Kudos to the ranger that let you see the rifle.

Hussy Wednesday....My favorite day.....Be safe cutie!

Clothes are uncomfortable.... head to toe! Unless it's cold lol

Great video Sarah Jane and very nice views. Thanks for posting. I went to Bristlecone Forest in the White Mountains of Inyo in 1987 in one a bike race they're called The Plum line down hill! That s*** was crazy! I can barely breathe at 12000 feet elevation then I shot down that mountain, 7000 feet downhill in 7 Mile. Look at my picture I am wearing the shirt I won! 32 years ago!

Always a good day with you

I thought I was the only one that played that game. I'll tell you the older I get and tireder I am at the end of a hike the price goes up. At 64 I'm in the Million dollar range.

great basin is on my do list

Beginning at about the 22:45 mark while she's describing losing part of her gear there are some good views of the peak over her right shoulder.

Makes you ponder if he just forgot the rifle and couldn’t find it once he knew or if something bad befell him.

1:08 The Basin and Range is full of horsts and grabens. They usually keep to themselves and hardly ever kill or eat anyone. Still, be careful and stay safe out there.

The Adventures of Wonderhussy in living Color!

Good, gal! Did good!

Quite a trek.

Those Aspen groves are so beautiful! 😎 “no shortcuts to the top”

I like all your jokes and narration.

I love wonderhussy, yippee

Ms HussyAll, you'll prob never see this but we were right at this spot roundabout the same time as you. Within days for sure.

I find it so interesting that nothing found is older that 1800s

No, I wasn't wondering why you were wearing the bathrobe. I knew fully well why you were wearing it ROFL!!!
