- Welcome to Wonderhussy Adventure #344
I often say I'm in "the middle of nowhere..." but where exactly IS the middle of nowhere? My friends Larry, John and I try to figure it out...and discover a ton of really cool stuff along the way.
Come to find out, the middle of nowhere is totally awesome!

I love your hot spring videos. It makes me want to get out there for a soak.
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚
Growing up with a gas station, traffic light, power lines, never ending trees, malls, city light pollution, etc., always within eye shot or ear shot, this landscape looks like another planet to me. Someday I will get there. So different and beautiful.
I bought a property in a place like that but it's mostly hot af, then suddenly cold except for the occasional nice day. It's a lot like Death Valley with more access to civilization and groceries. I wish I could find the closest hot springs. With extinct volcanos nearby, i think my chances are good.
This is why I so love Nevada. Miles and miles of wide open sagebrush covered valleys. It is the one state to me that had endless landscapes like this. Oh this makes me miss Nevada even more.
I loved living there in the 80's and like you I MISS Nevada!
Same here. I left two and a half years ago and made a big mistake.
Diana’s punch bowl......Wow! Great trip! ♥️♥️♥️
You make the coolest videos, Sara! Makes me want to see the middle of nowhere too.
That "Big Larry Pro" looks really useful for all of your camping demands, and looks like it performs really well providing maximum satisfaction!
Been there done that on a HARLEY DAVIDSON LOVE them dirt roads stayed in Austin and ran all over the country loved it thanks for the memories
You two are so cute together... without sounding like a stalker.. I like Larry
Sarah Jane you had an amazing summer of travels, thanks for taking us along. After you rest & recharge I'm sure you'll be off on other adventures. Oh yea, Burning Man video to come !!
Your buddy Larry was talking you up on his channel he says you are a stand-up type of gal but I knew that that's why we love you
I love your videos view going to ghost town and and Old Mines I plan on taking a trip in my 1954 Dodge Town panel truck soon watch me on Route 66 your friend Brad
I’m so jealous. Traveling for MONTHS in this beautiful country of our’s! Most never see these areas in their entire lives. Thanks for bringing us with you.
instaBlaster...
Hot boiled Wonderhussy, you have completely and astonishingly outdone yourself with this video..!!! I have penciled in these locations on my places to visit list.. LOL! Thank you and Larry for the adventure..
Thank you Sarah,,You Rock.Another great adventure,and so cool you have travel partners..Stay well Stay safe,Safe Travels..
The Big Larry Pro. Too funny. Great video, beautiful desert landscapes.
I lovvvvvvve this video!!! I love Nevada so much and all the little treasures it holds. Thanks!!!💛💛💛💛💛
This just in from Wikipedia re: Diana's Punch Bowl: water temperature is around 200 F, it's a 30' drop to water level, and the rock is a limestone called travertine.
How about 300'?
Beautiful vistas.. great video.. sorry your adventure is over but hopefully there will be new episodes to come!
I never really thought much about Nevada, but you really show it off well, and now I want to go.
Nevada is such an awesome place!
Amazing episode. You are extremely creative.
My wife and I were blessed to camp here and enjoy the spring in the middle of November a little over 20 years ago. Someone went through the trouble and built a beautiful slate tub and the deck. The mountains were snow capped and it was down to 18 degrees at night but wow! What views! Thank you for bringing me back!
The way to get down into the Punch Bowl is to tie off to one of the rigs and rappel down in there...but you might want to think before doing that. You never can tell what
kind of gasses are bubbling up out of that water. Anyway, really great video. I'm happy that our group of intrepid explorers had a good time.
The only way to find out is to take a sample, get a coffee can with a rock in the bottom and then lower it into the water with a rope, a litmus test would probably determine if the water was acidic. I wouldn't rappel in there not knowing what gasses that are in there that could possibly kill you. Which is only common sense.
@@brianlanders5306 There used to be an item used by fire departments...sort of a reverse on the idea of a spray can. They were not only empty, but drawn to a vacuum. You
could put the little red straw (like on WD40) close to a spot and press the button and "sniff" a sample to check for accelerants and such. But it would take a mighty long "straw"
to reach down into The Punch Bowl or an old mine or something like that.
You made my middle of the week being in the middle of nowhere.
Diana's Punchbowl: awesome. Wonder Hussy: awesome.
God moving over the face of the waters. Beautiful.
Kilgore Trout uh, perhaps you should look up techrax dropping iPhone into the DEVIL’S CAULDRON. FF to the end.
Sad to think this lady is an atheist.
Wonderhussy Wednesday!!! YAY!!!!
I Mentioned before my husband used to gather cattle around the punchbowl. But they always knew it as the Devils punchbowl.
There is a Devils punchbowl on the coast of OR. Are you referring to that?
Shjeesh I'm so jealous, such beautiful locations. I'm living in the wrong country, you are very lucky. Enjoy the adventures!!
I can imagine the radio traffic between the jets that went overhead. "Red leader. Look over your starboard wing. Isn't that WonderHussy down there?"
"Oh my wowzers!" just made my day.
Diana's Punchbowl, also called the Devil's Cauldron, is a geothermal feature located on a small fault in Nye County, Nevada. The spring is exposed through a cup-shaped depression about 50 feet in diameter at the top of a dome like hill of travertine about 600 feet in diameter............................ In other words....its volcano stuff !
That was amazing!! Thank you sweetie!
Happy for you! Thanks.
Neat video that diana punchbowl is awesome ive never seen anything like it. Y'all stay safe on your way home
Great tour. Stay strong Lulcky Larry....
This is one place in NV that's on my list that I haven't made it to yet, and I see it's definitely worth a visit. I didn't know there were pictographs out there too. Nevada is the most underrated state in the U.S., by far! And I believe the punchbowl is a limestone formation.
Sunset 🌅was beautiful.
Thank you 💐🌹🙏♥️
Yeahhh. Hot springs. Sending you much love.
Wow! Great video!!
Love it! ❤❤
Hey Huss! Gorgeous video as we are accostomed too. Your background audio is so subtle it's a fleeting memory of the experience, and not really appreciated till you notice the credits. Sure like the Moby reference. Guess it would be too $ to put in a sample of that . As for the "sacred friggin" cave, I think it was more of a rendovous place, as were hot springs and were often considered truce space among competing tribes. That area was not the middle of nowhere for those ancient tribes, huh. Kinda makes ya wonder.
THANKS FOR THE AMAZING VIDEO. SWAMP HUGS FROM LOUISIANA. KEEP YOUR VIDEOS COMING LOVE THEM.
Thanks WH, always good 👍
You have been to many diverse places lately, I imagine your headed to burning man now. Great video, looking forward to visiting this area.
Smile to you Sarah, Is there a place called nowhere? Outstanding video. Awaiting your next super fantastic video. Have a grand day.
Wow , she's purty ! 😍🤩😇
I was married to a Diana , decades ago
... an awesome video , WH 💜
Beautiful sunset
Great hot springs in the middle no where which is now some where 🤔🌌Cjd wash state thank you
Very cool!
Poor hussy's roughin it. Stay safe and great things. 😎👍
If the marker was brass, some tweaker may have stolen it.
I really like the pictographs too.
The panoramic views you show are sometimes the highlight of your videos. EXCEPT, that you provide constant, informative and humorous chatter,too.
Brown eyes, right?
Diana's Punch bowl looked like a purty cool geological anomaly. Thanks for taking me along. Til the next time.
Iv never seen a hot spring, thank you for showing them. One day eh! Xx
Awesome hot springs!!!
Astounding sunset from Platform Hot Springs in the middle of nowhere Nevada. Cave entrance is blocked by a metal frame now. Diana's Punchbowl is a natural hole with very hot water.
One of the best hot springs was just north of dianes punch bowl. The hotspring was potts hotspring . The hot spring was on private land and conflicts with users caused the owners to remove the tubband structures and gate the access.
Wow fabulous video
So glad you made these videos?
Three days ago I was plotting an adventure from Phoenix up to Jerry Johnson Hot Springs in Idaho because omfg. I wanted to go take. Long soak someplace lovely.
So Larry got to see the wonders . Humm. 😉
I asked Siri who Wonderhussy was and she knew. Lol.
uh oh
Wow sweet,,,, on my next to do list.....
Hey, another great show, can't wait to go see all that soon. Yes that is some hot water, I will bring eggs an boil them there that will be cool or hot. 😅
I've been there! Great vid!
The middle of nowhere is beautiful!
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚
I so fondly remember the naked Wonderhussy videos, before YT became so "old school marm".
I love hot springs!!!
Awesome!! 🤘🤘
Larry is a lucky guy! 😝
.....Like your smile.....Love your style.....Glad that you could chat a while.....!!
You're in Monitor Valley I would guess. Yep many a cattle gather there. Austin used to have a grocery.
Morning Hussy!
On Moby reference, from his memoir "Porcelain" he says "While I listened to this arrangement I thought about God moving over the face of the waters , when the Earth was new , before there was land and before anything was alive. The spirit of God , fill of presence and omniscience, seeing the emptiness and expanse of the new world, aware of all that's there and all thats gong to fo.low. The life that will come, and the death that will end each life. The trillions of creatures of creatures who will come out of this ocean, all wanting to live as long and as well as possible, resisting death till the end. All the life and death and longing and heartbreak and hope. I listened to the music, put my head on the plywood table, and cried. Then I lay down on the floor and curled up underneath the table, listening to the sound of God moving over the empty oceans, following a sun that never stops rising and setting. I couldn't think of anything I could do to make the track better, so I decided to record it as it was. I didn't want to ruin it by over complicating it. I got up , found a tape, wrote "God moving over the face of the waters" on the label , put it in the tape recorder, a day pressed recoed, listening and crying with my head on the plywood".
I was there twice this Summer. Me and another guy unclogged that pipe crossing the road @ 10:00 .That tub is actually the best one there. It just needed draining and brooming out when you were there. The one up on the hill is murky and muddy, but it IS party central with the locals. ;-)
Hay lady love the video great place to be
Been there before as well
They were travelers. That’s why they had to live in that cave during winter.
WOW! Who would expect something like the punch bowl in the middle of nowhere!!!!!!!!!!!!
“...guzzling from the tap of life....”
Wild goose chase: Undomesticated waterfowl.
Cool, the middle of NOW Here.
Checkout SV Delos. You are So Cool. The biggest thing on YT is , "dude perfect". They have nothing on you. You deserve so much more. Thinking of moving to TN. 42 years in So Cal is getting tired. I got the surfing thing down, until some health foibles. Been to Humboldt and Shelter Cove. My Brother lives there. Harvest season is October up there. Vaya con flowers Ms. Sara. XOX.
I have a Big Larry to! My brother gave it to because my name is Larry too! Great flash light! :-)
I have a larry jr light just like the big larry , I love it ,and it fits perfect in my Fanny pack 😜
That is an amazing hot spring! What I want to know is, where can we see the pics Larry took?
Wow !
This place called Nowhere has a large middle. Have you ever found signs of the EDGE of Nowhere?
S'what I said ; Surely she was at the Edge Of Nowhere , even just once 😛🤣😊😇
Those pictographs looked like UFO's.
That was neat and nice to meet Larru. I subscribed! On to your Austin Nevada vlog!
The steal mesh around the spring is also put around it to keep wildlife out ..
The full expression is, "the middle of nowhere you would rather be" ❤️
24:50. Man, that looks great. Too bad no easy way in.
I am a wiccan, i believe in mother earth. There are many wiccan. I believe in shamanism and herbal healing. I love watching your videos. Great job on this one!
I'm a human. The earth is real, you don't have to believe in it, it's very real and you can know that. Shamanism isn't real. You can believe in it, but that doesn't make it real. That's why the results you get are no better than average probabilities. Herbal healing sometimes works. There's a chance though if your favourite remedies aren't called medicine, its because the results you get are only supported by anecdotes and are also hit and miss. You can believe in them also, but if you do get sick, stop pretending and get to a medical professional.
@@photografiq_presents go FYS
I hope we don't meet, not sure if you will make it out alive
wow a cynoti in the middle of Nevada. I think its interesting that you say you would be a believer! Go ahead...be a believer!
If i made a bucket list i would go to a Colorado hot spring when it is snowy or one in Japan
It is boiling! ☮️💜
Nice vid wh
did I miss the Donner party video?? I cant wait to see that!!
Looks like you were at Navadian Black Mustang Hotsprings? And talked about Spencer hotsprings nearby. Both great places to camp.
Hi always great video. My question is how you know all those hot springs and how you find them?
Oh my wowsers! 😂😂😂
Amazing as usual. The earth is alive whence we came from.
Good.
Sara, you are such a great gal! I love watching your videos!! What type of sunglasses are you wearing?
Ray-Ban sunglasses
A hot spring!!!!
