I remember watching a video on Lake Powell way back in the 60's and the one thing i took away was that the sand stone soaks up like 14% of the flow of the Colorado river. Amazing that she found this out in her research on Powell.
In my 78 years of life, which includes time in the military and 20 years as a professor, I have never been aware of anyone who enjoys life and makes the most of it, as you do. At first, I was a bit uncomfortable with your modeling career, but your magnetic personality helped me overcome that. I thoroughly enjoy your videos, especially those in central Nevada where I worked for about 9 months, and your ghost town explorations. I always feel I have learned something from every one. Thanks from a fading old man.
Sarah's nudes prove she has a classy chassis, but her videos show she's the real deal. She's a great lady. As for the fading old man...don't be in any hurry to leave, my friend. You probably have much experience of your own to share.
Just to clarify for your viewers that Major John Wesley Powell and his men did not have a Native American guide, or any other type of guide with them when they went down the Colorado River. The reason for this was because up until the Powell expedition did it, nobody else had ever attempted it before (not even the local natives), hence, there was nobody to guide them. A very famous quote by Major Powell, from his book, “The Exploration of The Colorado River and Its Canyons” reads - “We have an unknown distance yet to run, an unknown river to explore. What falls there are, we know not; what rocks beset the channel, we know not; what walls ride over the river, we know not.”
This is the 150th anniversary of the Powell expedition. The issue with the dam in Echo Park was that it exists inside a National Monument. Building a dam would be against the spirit of the mission of the NPS. Lake Powell was built almost entirely for legal reasons and not to preserve water. Great video, Sarah.
This was my first time to watch any of your videos, and I was impressed with your intelligence. I really liked the way that you started with getting grounded on the rocks because of low water conditions, then segued into the history of Lake Powell and the water usage situation, and then ended back on the rocks, making a complete journey. Well done...!! Also....while listening to you talk, I was reminded of the T.V. horror movies host...Elvira...you sounded a lot like her..LOL..!! You earned a sub...!!
Brilliant Excellent documentary...your work at the very best level of clarity of information and video editing and narrative..."major network" quality...very skillfully done.
so cool that you got to see a little bit of Lake Powell. My first experience with the lake was in 1969 and almost every year since (family houseboats) in over 40 years of exploring the lake I still have not seen all of it. Hope you get another chance to experience Lake Powell.
Funny. I had a sneaking suspicion that some series of unfortunate events had befallen as you seemed to not have been gone a whole week with no communication. Able to salvage into another fantastic Wonderhussy Travelogue. Really great informative and beautiful vid Sarah Jane. Sarah Jane tv travel show should be a thing.
Not difficult to manage a house boat and the Buoy was clearly labeled. Thanks for sharing this experience, we've all had issues.:) In short, great attitude and keep exploring.
You are amazing and brilliant. Thank you for putting in the effort, and for doing such a great job. The history and other information are always very interesting.
Can’t figure out how you turn out great videos like this week after week. It is a lot of work with research and editing etc.... I have been watching your vids for over a year now.....and they just keep getting better.......I love Wednesday evenings! Thanks WH!
My dearly departed Grandmother once said "it doesn't matter what a girl looks like, because a little paint does WONDERS!" Also, thanks for the very informative video about Lake Powell!
Thanks for sharing this, Sarah... I've thought many times about renting one for a week or so, on one of those hot weather lakes... I love being on the water...
Excellent educational video, I thought I knew a lot about the west. I had no idea about St George ! anyways, we are huge Lake Powell goers and we do it on Yamaha Waverunners with all our camping gear loaded on them and go out for weeks at a time. Its the most economical way to explore the lake because they get almost 10 MPG because at $5.50 a gallon those house boats will eat you up in bad fuel mileage. There are hundreds of miles of coves and canyons and when the winds come up they can whip up 80 mile an hour gusts that can destroy houseboats and you cant get up into those coves for protection, but waverunners you can. Its not for everyone but it is the best way to see the beauty of the area and not just the main body.
camped out at Lake Powel in 1991 and the lake seemed to be full. I’ve always wondered about the history since then. Now I know. Thanks for the great informational video.
2 Years ago I spent a week along with my wife and 10 other friends on a house boat there on Lake Powell. We explored the upper lake from Bullfrog marina and didn't have to wear clothes the whole time except when we visited Rainbow bridge. Now that was a spiritual experience for me and my wife as we have native american ancestors. We LOVE Lake Powell. We went in early June and wow was it HOT!
Wow, your photos from shoots and such are super hot......but on another note, getting the boat stuck on the rocks, wtf....couldn't have seen any of the buoys warning about the rocks? They were literally all around the boat when you panned the cam around the side of the boat.
Well, seems like you pull the haggis out of the fire, Darlin'(8-). Excellent video. I'd forgotten about Powell's story...just hadn't thought much about it in years. Thanks for putting it all back together for me.
We used to go there when I was a teen for vacation. We got a house boat a lot like that one and it's still one of my favorite memories from back then. I don't blame you for wanting to get off that boat but it's really quite amazing there. I would go back if the opportunity came, even with the low water levels.
Absolutely gratifying and completely affirmed why I love your productions! Insightful and informative! You even touched on underlying drivers that shape us - (socio-cultural religious beliefs), philosophy psychology, and geography!🤗👍
Sarah I'm glad you got off the boat and gave us all the big historical lesson, WOW. No wonder the Mormons in Southern California Rave about how beautiful St.George is in Utah.
Lee Hurley Just yanking your chain. Water conservancy is a must. I'm a plumbing contractor, so I deal with water leaks and wasted water all the time. Agreed...... no grass!
Rented a houseboat in 93 and toured Lake Powell. And you’re right, you need to go back and tour that lake proper. I absolutely amazing back in there, words cannot do justice to describe it. I recommend renting another houseboat and spending about a week running around cause there’s lots to see. Plus the striped bass fishing is fantastic if you’re into that kind of thing. And a brownie might be nice in this situation too… just sayin’
Hi Sarah,just wanted to add Lake Mojave down by Laughlin Nevada south of the Hoover Dam along the Colorado River,smaller in size it is still quite lovely with lots of secluded un occupied sandy beaches 😘 .
Last time I saw Lake Powell was early 2006. A line on the rocks showed the water had been over a hundred feet deeper in a previous time. Hope it rains and snows more in the Rockies and that region so it's like it used to be.
Bravo. If it didn’t pass your smell test, getting off the boat was the right thing to do. Love your history lessons and thanks for sharing the sights. Stay awesome.
As a kid we used to vacation at Lake Powell, and it truly is (was) a beautiful place. It is sad to see the water so low, the sandstone canyons are amazing.
John Wesley Powell was also a professor at my old college, Illinois Wesleyan University. Some of his crew on the Grand Canyon expedition were his students there. You should see the terrific, life-sized bronze of him in the university library.
lol, cool video. I really like your personality. I lived on The Big Island for a while in Keaau & they did the exact opposite there. You see all these huge square lots in the jungle that have been stripped bare so there's only crushed lava rock remaining.
Great video Sarah! Read Desert Solitaire by Edward Abbey. He has a chapter where he and a friend floated through Glen Canyon prior to the dam being finished. He describes it and said it rivaled the Grand Canyon in beauty.
"by snookering homesteaders and houseboaters..." and bonus, you don't have to mow the red sandstone :-) You are an excellent historian. I learn something every video. I also learned you do your makeup good. Like the other commenter said, you have a magnetic personality.
Did the houseboat thing for 15 years or so and I always became capt. Utah rangers tried to pull us off some beach the storm blew us on and they couldn't do it. Flagged down a plane and 6 hours later the barge pulled us off. It was the last day we were out there and they were just happy we stayed off the rocks. Lots of fun out there but help is never close so you have to be careful. Oh and the Anasazi ruins all around lake Powel are cool. Most underwater .
Just sit right back And you'll hear a tale A tale of a fateful trip, That started from this tropic port, Aboard this well-stocked ship. The mate was a naked sailin' lass, The Skipper crazed and boor, A bunch of models set sail that day, An unsuccessful tour, An unsuccessful tour...
Would like to know if you ended up with strep throat? I sure hope not! Thanks again for a great video. BTW... we houseboated Lake Powell back I. The 70’s! We towed our ski boat behind us. It was AMAZING 😍! Those canyons are SPECTACULAR! Would love to take my grandkids out there, if there’s any water left, that is. 😢
PNW notwithstanding LOL! The PNW was a wet and dense forest with terrain that would chew up and spit out most men of the time. I am glad you got off that trap house boat so you could make a great video. Thanks W.H.
Sarah, Mein Got! You sure did study up on the subject. Very interesting. I will follow links so I will understand Lake Powell better. Looking forward to you and the girls. I found the last one fascinating as you all got along so well. Hope there is heat on the boat. I will check out the film, "Ten Who Dared". Somehow I missed the part with the girls.. Seriously Sarah ( like the sound of that) Seriously Sarah the next Interior Secretary ! Why not? I see you get it. wink, wink, nudge, nudge.
Nice video. Cool place as always. But you need to take care of yourself and heal before you get worse. When I used to stack butter in the cold box, I would get sweaty from stacking then I get cold from sweating then sick. I would be sick for a month. Well, I finally went to the doctor. He said that I had pneumonia. That wasn't fun. Now I drink black tea ( during my work week) and green tea ( on my days off ) with honey and cinnamon. It's supposed to help with colds and respiratory infections. And I haven't been that sick since. So take of yourself. You can't always work while you're sick. But who am I to talk, I still do and I've been on the elite list (no time loss, never missed a day of or late ) at work for a few years. I won the "elite trip" a couple of years ago. Anyway take care and keep up the good work on your videos.
Good interesting stuff.. thanks for the info and your research and work putting it together... Got to have an open mind to learn something new everyday... Cheers.
Too bad you didn't get to see more of the lake, it's incredibly beautiful. I recently read about how low Powell is because they are taking all the water to keep Lake Mead from going dry. I was stunned by how low Powell looks in your video. Nice job.
Thanks for the Flashback! I took my first Road trip thru there 25 years ago. Also I had a laugh at the boat misadventure as well. Content, Editing and Info always on Point. And you should visit The PNW there's a few places I can recommend..
Sorry you had to deal with an idiot who decided to drive a houseboat right by the warning buoys! I would highly recommend you go back in the summer and rent a boat for at least a full day and check out the canyons! You didn’t even begin to see how awesome the sights are on Powell! Or maybe you could go in with some friends and get a houseboat again and really take it all in for a few days! And you could a,so check out Antelope Canyon, it’s on a reservation and they charge to hike in, but it’s amazing! And right by the marina.
Dear Wonderhussy, Glad to see you got yourself out of that sketchy Houseboat situation. In the future if you find yourself in a similar predicament just say Vundahussman 3 times, click your heels and I'll be there directly to save the day! Regards, Vundahussman.
Sarah At 6 minutes those Orange and White things are called Bouys , they warn of things . Ha ha You more than likely heard that line all night Long . I loved your adventure on Lake Powell , I will never get to do that . John Wesley Powell grew up by Gibsonville At Letchworth , my Stomping grounds . Come to think of that Mormons originally came from Western, N.Y also . If it helps any , the one time I went to the Grand Canyon I could see only 275-250 feet down and then the cloud came up to the rim . I think the Canyon is farther north from where we were , possibly Utah ? You are tough and Never really Whine . I hope you feel better soon .
I so agree with you. Red sandstone is just as beautiful as green grass. I would love to live in Arizona. However, my land would be full of desert plants. No grass. I am in Wisconsin and it's way too cold. I've been out that way, and the beauty is stunning. If I lived in the desert, I'd keep it as it should be. Sorry about your trip. It was a good video. Love the history. Thanks.
we had so much rain this year, it's ridiculous, the grass here is still growing like it is spring, never been that far west looks like mars very cool, thanks for the view hun
If you are going to live in the desert, get used to desert landscaping. It is beautiful in its own way. Another great video and I hope you get over your illness.
I remember watching a video on Lake Powell way back in the 60's and the one thing i took away was that the sand stone soaks up like 14% of the flow of the Colorado river. Amazing that she found this out in her research on Powell.
I absolutely love this video. It's hysterical with your facial expressions, and your outlook of the trip. You are an expert journalist!
Sarah you should have your own TV network adventure and educational show. You are so articulate and funny.
What a great history lesson felt like I was on a special tour with a very knowledgeable guide. Really enjoyed this journey for sure, thank you, August

Requires makeup......
I would agree with you Robert.
Robert Shurtleff gross.
I love you wonderhussy. You're the only reason I watch TH-cam anymore.
I agree with Heather. 😁

Have done the houseboat on Powell three times, sooooo nice and fun.

Just caught onto Wonderhussy. You are an amazing and smart lady. Your videos are very good. Nice to be here.
I'm waiting for you to record your songs, "Wonderhussy live at Carnegie Hall".
Best wishes from Santa Fe NM.
Super! Loved when you say "It's a desert! Not supposed to be any thing here in the first place!"
You are amazing and brilliant. Thank you for putting in the effort, and for doing such a great job. The history and other information are always very interesting.

you are not only adorable and entertaining but informative and educational. Thats a rare combination. Know that you are appreciated 💝
Wow, your photos from shoots and such are super hot......but on another note, getting the boat stuck on the rocks, wtf....couldn't have seen any of the buoys warning about the rocks? They were literally all around the boat when you panned the cam around the side of the boat.
Hi Wonderhussy, I fully share your viewpoints.Hope you feel better. Harry.
A debacle turned into an education. A+.
Great video Sara…as always entertaining
Well, seems like you pull the haggis out of the fire, Darlin'(8-). Excellent video. I'd forgotten about Powell's story...just hadn't thought much about it in years. Thanks for putting it
all back together for me.
We used to go there when I was a teen for vacation. We got a house boat a lot like that one and it's still one of my favorite memories from back then. I don't blame you for wanting to get off that boat but it's really quite amazing there. I would go back if the opportunity came, even with the low water levels.
Debacle.... excellent word usage!!! we got a kick otta that. thanks for another great vid.
You certainly did your background research. Thank you.
I am laughing through the first 8 minutes. Then it became serious because Sarah had enough sense to get off the boat!
Absolutely gratifying and completely affirmed why I love your productions! Insightful and informative! You even touched on underlying drivers that shape us - (socio-cultural religious beliefs), philosophy psychology, and geography!🤗👍
Great episode Wonderhussy! History section was outstanding
Oldie but goodie. It watching old stuff 😵💫👽🇺🇸
Sarah I'm glad you got off the boat and gave us all the big historical lesson, WOW. No wonder the Mormons in Southern California Rave about how beautiful St.George is in Utah.
Just awesome!
second time watching your video and i love your background stories!
As always...a pleasure watching your videos.. :)
Another good video. Thank you.
You rock another great video
Awesome video. Thanks for the history and great info.
Excellent history lesson ,and commentary about water and developers . Why do we have green grass in desert lands?
We grow it to keep our lawnmowers in shape.
@@SuperDave-vj9en if you need to keep lawnmowers in shape, move east.
Lee Hurley
Just yanking your chain. Water conservancy is a must. I'm a plumbing contractor, so I deal with water leaks and wasted water all the time. Agreed...... no grass!
Rocking the history and facts needed for future generations.
Speak sister, it needs to be said.
I was in that area in March. REally liked seeing the mesas sticking out of the lake, and the view at the dam was spectacular.
This is great!! Good history. You have a wonderful mind.
Your hair looked great at the beginning.
You've convinced me to come and explorer Lake Powell.
Rented a houseboat in 93 and toured Lake Powell. And you’re right, you need to go back and tour that lake proper. I absolutely amazing back in there, words cannot do justice to describe it.

Best time at Lake Powell is September. The water is still warm but the crowds are gone and there are no thunderstorms to worry about
Hi Sarah,just wanted to add Lake Mojave down by Laughlin Nevada south of the Hoover Dam along the Colorado River,smaller in size it is still quite lovely with lots of secluded un occupied sandy beaches 😘 .
Last time I saw Lake Powell was early 2006. A line on the rocks showed the water had been over a hundred feet deeper in a previous time. Hope it rains and snows more in the Rockies and that region so it's like it used to be.
Bravo. If it didn’t pass your smell test, getting off the boat was the right thing to do. Love your history lessons and thanks for sharing the sights. Stay awesome.
The water management the United States has built is one of the greatest engineering achievements in human history.
Very intersting content. Loved the history!
As a kid we used to vacation at Lake Powell, and it truly is (was) a beautiful place. It is sad to see the water so low, the sandstone canyons are amazing.
Why don’t you have a show on TV or Cable by now? Missed talent. Keep it up!
Wow... This was an awesome, educational video!
John Wesley Powell was also a professor at my old college, Illinois Wesleyan University. Some of his crew on the Grand Canyon expedition were his students there. You should see the terrific, life-sized bronze of him in the university library.
lol, cool video. I really like your personality. I lived on The Big Island for a while in Keaau & they did the exact opposite there. You see all these huge square lots in the jungle that have been stripped bare so there's only crushed lava rock remaining.
Wonder on point once again. Love it. And damn enjoyable to boot
Great video Sarah! Read Desert Solitaire by Edward Abbey. He has a chapter where he and a friend floated through Glen Canyon prior to the dam being finished. He describes it and said it rivaled the Grand Canyon in beauty.
very nice vid, very informative, great photography!!!

Did you drive 5 minutes south of Page, and do the 20 minute hike to Horseshoe Bend? Definitely worth the 20 minute hike. Google image it...
Let's get translucently enibreated and become that wildebeest psychosexuality mime
Glad i live in upstate n.y........plenty of water and always green !...until fall and winter sarah!
Lol your too cool girl! Thanks Sarah! Needed this laugh! 💕🙏 Live Lucky .. Carmen from Colorado
Oh bye the way lake Powell is a little shallow from the drought be careful ! Always 5 star videos !
Did the houseboat thing for 15 years or so and I always became capt. Utah rangers tried to pull us off some beach the storm blew us on and they couldn't do it. Flagged down a plane and 6 hours later the barge pulled us off. It was the last day we were out there and they were just happy we stayed off the rocks. Lots of fun out there but help is never close so you have to be careful. Oh and the Anasazi ruins all around lake Powel are cool. Most underwater .
Just sit right back
And you'll hear a tale
A tale of a fateful trip,
That started from this tropic port,
Aboard this well-stocked ship.
The mate was a naked sailin' lass,
The Skipper crazed and boor,
A bunch of models set sail that day,
An unsuccessful tour,
An unsuccessful tour...
Would like to know if you ended up with strep throat? I sure hope not! Thanks again for a great video. BTW... we houseboated Lake Powell back I. The 70’s! We towed our ski boat behind us. It was AMAZING 😍! Those canyons are SPECTACULAR! Would love to take my grandkids out there, if there’s any water left, that is. 😢
I’ve worked there before. But up from you in Utah at Bullfrog Marina. 4 Summer seasons.
PNW notwithstanding LOL! The PNW was a wet and dense forest with terrain that would chew up and spit out most men of the time. I am glad you got off that trap house boat so you could make a great video. Thanks W.H.
Sarah, Mein Got! You sure did study up on the subject. Very interesting. I will follow links so I will understand Lake Powell better. Looking forward to you and the girls. I found the last one fascinating as you all got along so well. Hope there is heat on the boat. I will check out the film, "Ten Who Dared". Somehow I missed the part with the girls.. Seriously Sarah ( like the sound of that) Seriously Sarah the next Interior Secretary ! Why not? I see you get it. wink, wink, nudge, nudge.
Nice video. Cool place as always. But you need to take care of yourself and heal before you get worse. When I used to stack butter in the cold box, I would get sweaty from stacking then I get cold from sweating then sick. I would be sick for a month. Well, I finally went to the doctor. He said that I had pneumonia. That wasn't fun. Now I drink black tea ( during my work week) and green tea ( on my days off ) with honey and cinnamon. It's supposed to help with colds and respiratory infections. And I haven't been that sick since. So take of yourself. You can't always work while you're sick. But who am I to talk, I still do and I've been on the elite list (no time loss, never missed a day of or late ) at work for a few years. I won the "elite trip" a couple of years ago. Anyway take care and keep up the good work on your videos.
Good interesting stuff.. thanks for the info and your research and work putting it together... Got to have an open mind to learn something new everyday... Cheers.
Too bad you didn't get to see more of the lake, it's incredibly beautiful. I recently read about how low Powell is because they are taking all the water to keep Lake Mead from going dry. I was stunned by how low Powell looks in your video. Nice job.
Glad you are safe. Yes, take time off and get well.
I love that you still appreciate desert as much as the grasslands, if you're ever in central coast area I'll show you some nice areas
Thanks for another fun video!
Wow beautiful and smart (and not just book smart- also very obsertive).
The photographer's loss is our gain with your history of Lake Powell. Here's hoping you'll be feeling better soon...hugs! : )
Thanks for the Flashback! I took my first Road trip thru there 25 years ago. Also I had a laugh at the boat misadventure as well. Content, Editing and Info always on Point. And you should visit The PNW there's a few places I can recommend..

Binging on your older vids. You're in Page and no Antelope Canyon? Feel like you short changed your viewers. Aloha
too bad you didn't have a black light to check out the bed properly at 3.05
Great video... lots of info and lots of fun... Thank you.....
Good show
