Great show! I started taking classes in fall of 1990. So many I lost track. In the library scene, the ceramic pots in the corner were done by me using native clay I found at the "side pool" at the Soda Spring. Have been doing ceramics for over 50 years. Enjoy all your trips, keep it up girl!!!!

It's been a while since I went through Baker. My late husband Karl and I lived at the Furnace Creek Ranch in Death Valley National Monument, back in '79 and '81, and he was a master electrician. We've likely have driven past Curtis Springer's old resort, as I remember the road sign. Wow, seems like forever now.

20:00 When I was at Death Valley they had a 20 mule team come through as part of a reenactment/research thing. It was really impressive to see all those animals working together. It is so LONG too.

Super! You had the proper footwear for walking around in rattlesnake country in the dark! I must have missed the Big Horn Sheep................ Thanks for another great and brave tour.

That room reminds me of the late 60's when our family were doing a road trip to Disneyland and some where in between we stayed at a motel.

.... Like your smile..... Love your style......!!

Love when she dips her sunglasses and shows off her eyes and makeup.. so beautiful

Wonder Hussy, you are one hell of an original, and fun at that. I am definitely a fan of your unique, quirky, and eccentric south-western travelogue videos, you have style.

Soaking in the pool at nite! I always enjoy your personality, presentations, and thanks for the tongue gesture! It was a while since you had a shot with that! Slinky! You're in tune!

"Basically anything that ends in 'ology. Love it. I was just down on Zzyzx Rd. when I was exploring down around Joshua Tree Monument a month ago. Beautiful country.

Thank you WH,,,You do such a fantastic job on Music,editing and Just your wonderful personality!,,TY73s

We've 4WD the entire Mohave Trail from just south of Laughlin across the desert to I 15 between Baker/Barstow. It takes about three days with tons of historical sites alone the way. We drove across the dry lake in front of that resort. You may have seen a pile of rocks the the center of the dry lake. The tradition is when you complete the trail, you leave a rock in that pile. Now here's the cool part. If you climb to the top and look down into the center, you'll see a plaque with a secret known only to those who have made the journey. Ya need to upgrade to a CJ or a Hummer which I drive....until we get to shelf roads. Then the wife takes the wheel

I have only seen Big Horn Sheep once in my life. Back in '88, my Army unit was the first to be deployed for the Yellowstone Forest fire. We did some pretraining in an area where there hadn't been any humans in like a 150yrs. We were about 75 meters away. They kinda cocked their heads to one side trying to figure out what kind of animals we were. It was an awesome experience, aside from the reason why we were there. 3million acres burned in that fire.

Big W----I like your "Shady Brady" straw hat. Sol used to wear one that was given to him. ~ JIM

You are beautiful on the inside and the outside! For a professional model to be so down to earth and open makes you a rarity. Love your videos. Make all your fans smile keep them coming :)

Greek food favs, phyllofeta turnover, spanokopita, gyro. Love these things!

Sarah: Another great presentation. I have stayed at DSC many times. I have taken more than 70 extension classes there. I'm one of those 'science' guys. Also I have been a potter for more than 50 years and I found a clay deposit near Zzyzx and the two pots on the shelf in the library are ones I made from that clay (19:50)... Another great presentation! All the best to you...

I've been to the Mad Greek! Love that place.

The costume, the night lights, the all-night cafe. The flashlit moving camera a al Blair Witch... This is just so Twin Peaks/David Lynch. Lovin it!

Spent a night in Zzyzx in April of 1989. Organized a "Star Party" group of amateur astronomers from the Riverside Astronomical Society, about 8 of us, to take our telescopes out to. Figured it must be dark being half way between LA and Vegas. Called the Cal State University people in control of it and they gave us the ok to go. Turned out to be windy as WH noted and there was a lot of dust kicked up from the dry lake. Wasn't as dark as we had hoped either, altitude is more important than distance from lights. Never went back there, but it was the only place I have ever seen a Big Horn Sheep in the wild, scampered up the side of a cliff there faster than I could run on flat ground when I was 17!

i wanted you to check out those cabins you went in the last time you visited. And, girl you're killin' me with that spacesuit, especially exploring in it!

Loving all you videos. You are fearless.

You're making my heart race as you walk along in the dark with your flashlight shining far out ahead of you instead of down on the ground where some rattlesnake out looking for mice might be taking exception to your space boots. I think you have some sort of guardian angel that protects you from the local hazards wherever you walk! Shudder!!

You are one of my new favorite channels. The Soda Lake does fill up sometimes, but only when there's enough rain obviously. For like 2 or 3 years back in the 80's. Like between 84 to 86 or so.

Passed that sign many times & wondered what was down that road. Thanks, you're great.

I went here every May with my college. It’s really a spectacular place.

Thanks for making your videos. After your first Zzyzx video, the next time I drove down I-15 I stopped and checked the place out which was a cool experience.

Very cool place. I didnt stay the night but it was fun to walk around and take some pictures. Then we too had lunch at the Mad Greek. Perfect day

Your two Zzyzx videos have been brilliant! In the other Zzyzx video you mentioned E Clampus Vitus(The clampers) they go to remote locations, drink like tomorrow will never come, and build monuments to the foolishness. Once in a while they take part in some charity work. LOVE your videos!!

WOW! Yesterday I watched Huell Howser's show on Television about Zzyzx and now I just watched your clip. Maybe you are the next generation of Huell! Did you know he lived in the Desert near Joshua Tree?

I like how relaxing this is to watch ive always passed that rd,the people were con artists who said they were mining clay and they got kicked out and it was turned to a resrt and no people theres no real mineral spring there that will heal you

Ed, "we have a live one over here". "I like the way you wear that hat". "you don't know nothin" thanks for the tour. You have a way of making it interesting.

Great vid especially the last few minutes..."Right" LOL!!!

WH, I bet you are a blast to go camping with. I couldn't help thinking about the gyros at the Mad Greek as I haven't been there in about a year. Good video, very atmospheric.

I have been there however I turned around at the dead end parking lot. I thought the road went through to the I-40. Fro what I could see it looked pretty cool. Great video I’m sur there is more to come

You are such an awesome lady! What a whacky personality . And another great video.

Another great one.Thanks Wonderhussy

Very cool. I've always wanted to stop by there.

Awesome and love all the historic places, the Mohave desert is so fascinating

Hilarious visit at night.

Welcome back wonder hussy, have s good night.:)

After watching several of your video's, I am convinced that we need more Hussies. You are just a one man (woman) band. I want more people to like your channel, I'm tellin'em to check u out.

your crazy girl but in a good way your videos are always exciting keep them coming and keep safe God speed

Amazing, that place you stayed at is timeless. You could have easily pretended to be in the 1940s.

I have been wondering what this place was as I go from Vegas to L.A.. I recently even looked it up on Google maps. I am so happy you made a video there, can't wait to see it now...aloha, please be safe

Haha. I spent the night at Baker and had dinner and breakfast at the Mad Greek. It was awesome.

LOVE listening to you, and seeing cool places and stuff, I'm subscribed now, thanks for all your work! 😀👍

Wow much respect I would of been shacking being alone in that dark lonely desert and all by yourself

Your so silly sometimes! Love the jacket you were wearing in the beginning of the video! Beautiful! It is a lot more spooky at night! Now......where can we see photos of you in an alien costume??

Thanks for another great video. I heard that anyone can enroll in one of the continuing educational classes offered by the Desert Studies Center to get your foot in the door.

What a cool place to spend the night! Quite an interesting place with an equally interesting history. I have often wondered what was down that road. Thank you for the tour and for the history of this place!

A very cool and fun explore! I will have to make some of those pastries. They sound so good..I did want to the the fish though. Lol

I'm so thankful that you pronounced that name for us! Gee that would have been too hard to sound out. Hope to see some Big Horn Sheep in the morning. Very nice facilities! Gollee your very stylish as a blond!!!! Whe I was a boy 20 Mule Team had a T^V show called, "Death Valley Days" Rose Mary DeCamp did the commercials. I considered her a, "Hottie" when I was 14! Evidently the Sheep were to shy. Please, next time you are in the desert during the night scan the stars in the sky. thanks for a nice moment!

THE WILD ONE Love it

Love the hat Sarah. And as always; Love your Attitude. Thank You.

Mohave tui chub Formerly found in deep pools of the Mojave River, this species now only occurs in highly modified refuge sites in San Bernardino County. populations occur at three sites: Soda Springs (Zzyzx Springs), the Department's Camp Cady Wildlife Area, and China Lake Naval Air Weapons Station (NAWS). At Camp Cady, the population is thriving in two ponds, one of which is threatened by encroaching vegetation. Mosquito fish and Asian tapeworm were discovered at Soda Lake in 2001, with unknown consequences for the chubs. Perhaps the most secure population exists at China Lake, where the US Navy monitors and protects a population numbering in the thousands. China Lake was chosen as a refuge site and the Mohave tui chub were introduced into Lark Seep in 1971.

Love your videos, love ghost stories and history, about towns abandoned by humans.

You rock girl!!!! 😎 Lots of love from Costa Rica

Baker, CA is one of the towns they used for location shots in the original Psycho movie - particularly the scene where the cop wakes her up on the side of the road. They also filmed in a town called Gorman, which I think is in CA? :)

Just watched a you tube video on ZZYZX with footage of Rev Springer. Your video continues the story and is awesome

You're quite a brave lady.........doin what you do ........great video WH 👍👍👍

I drove by that exit for ten years, and never knew there was anythng there! Totally surprised to see that there are things at that exit off I-15. I used to crack a joke that that was the end of the earth there!

Mojave is a good dark sky location. That would be a good place to stay to try and do time-lapse photography of the Milky Way galaxy.

I love Wonder Hussy! She takes me to the neatest places! It's almost like I'm there with her! I've traveled a lot,but not the backroads where that beautiful gal takes me!

An iconoclast would have no problem using a bucket in the middle of the night. Gets pretty dark outside. Used to use a sealing one when I went camping in the past. Didn't have to leave the tent and no smell. Bliss.

I used to belong to the society of big horn sheep here in ca. We built water for wildlife projects raised money and assisted in sheep counts ect

Wonder Hussy you always seem in such good spirits, smiling & having fun., your good attitude is contagious, when I watch these videos they kinda help me when I'm a little down

super cool. thx for Sharon!

Not abandoned been desert studies center since 1976 shortly after the mineral spa closed in 1974 due to legal reasons. All the buildings have working lights and accomodations except the two derelict buildings that have unstable foundations, thus unused. Exterior lights are on part of the evening as well. Not as creepy as the video tries to make it seem since its been a college for decades.

sweet you went back there !

Such a cool opportunity! Love the name, that's one quick way to be last in the phonebook though!

I always wondered how you pronounced that word everytime I drove to Vegas. ..thx

love it.thx💝

Brilliant vid darling, your mad but we love you. lol. Respect Sarah. xx

Cool Vid just popped on my feed...

Thanks. This was interesting.

Thanks again for this awesome video! so was this your first overnight exploring video? & did you see any Big Horn Sheep? so pretty cool night time walk, but I'm waiting for a trip back to Tonopah an a night time stay at the Mizpah Basement!!! You need to watch Omar & his friends James video about the Mizpah Basement! Now that's a video I'm waiting for from Wonder Hussy!

Pappanicolos! See Girl... That is why I love you. But seriously and excellent coverage of the location however that was 3 years back. Can you refresh our view of this magnificent place once more in this Coron days? Love you for all you do. At BEST.

love it. such An awesome place would love to see that

You look great without the makeup. Fun Video!!

great video, love ya!!!!

i love watching your videos.

You are so brave going to walk that creepy place in the night. I can not go there on day time😂

I would have screamed then LMFAO if your friend had jumped out in the creepy bath house🤗 Pleasant Dreams 💤💤💤

I just watched @SinCityOutdoors new videos about this place and instantly thought of you. I knew you would have done a video here because it was nearish you and I was right!!

OMG you are awesome of course I think Elvira is to love it wish I could join you

Adam The Woo did a video on this place 2 years ago. You should check out his take on the place if you haven't already

The reason you are alone in the library is that you are one of the few that can read! You prove it over and over during your amazing travels!

you have such a knack for finding the most interesting places!

Good to see Zzyzx from the other side

Good video,you made me laugh.

*11:50** love the space outfit that went unnoticed except to the youtube audience*

I just caught this in 21 and it`s awesome! WH is cool........

Glad to see you went back there. That place is beautiful.

I love the old time capsule motel room. Now that is what motels used to look like. Not the Route 66 crap motels that people spend a lot of money to stay in, with the fancy retro future, and 50 inch flat screen TVs on the wall. That room is probably exactly like it was when it was a resort. At one time there might have been a sink under medicine cabinet, but that would have been all. Since there was the bath house and public showers, the guests didn't need to have that in their rooms.

I would petition the University to give WH a degree in Desert Studies, and a masters in Nocturnal Fashions for explorers. I think this is my fave explore so far Will you teach a credit course?. Well done Dr. Hussy.

Nice video :)

Great review of Zzyzx. Seems to me I remember the name Zzyzx being used so it would be the very last word in the English language. I think I would have had to soak in that pool and night time would have been the time for me. Love sitting in water looking at the stars.

Would have been nice to see some of Big horn sheep!

Luv going to bed with Wonder Hussy! May seem like a strange comment but your eyebrows were a work of art....
