@@lvglen Glen -- many small Nevada and California schools have 8 boy football--and sometimes young females are on the team..

@@bobcuster8930 I am quite aware that there are several different school classifications in Nevada, with the smallest in the state playing 8-man football. I used to work for a TV production company that recorded the state championship games for all of the Nevada classifications. At the time the smallest division was 1A, and we even had several schools in and around Las Vegas that were 1A, including Trinity Christian, Indian Springs and Beatty, Nevada. However, the website for Jackpot School does not list football as an interscholastic sport. I went to high school in Arizona, and there was an eight-man football classification there as well.
I just took a picture by that Clydesdale in Jackpot! It is a strange little town. I was there the day before you heading to Idaho. I used to drive for Budweiser and got to help with the Clydesdale team once. So fun.
What became Jackpot was founded in 1954 with the construction of the Horse Shu Club, which opened on March 18, 1954. At the time, the most northerly settlement in Elko County was Contact, about fifteen miles to the south. An enormous success, with one million pre-inflation dollars in prizes being issued by October 1955, the Horse Shu was quickly joined by a second casino, the Pair-o-Dice, 400 feet to the south, which opened August 18, 1954. Meanwhile, Cactus Pete's was originally established in Mineral Springs, twelve miles to the south, opening on July 2, 1954. Two years later, losing too much business to the Horse Shu, it relocated to its present site across the highway from its then chief competitor, opening on October 1, 1956. A hamlet grew up around the casinos; in May 1958, it became an unincorporated town named Horse Shu, but under pressure from Pete Piersanti, the name was withdrawn and the town became known as Unincorporated Township Number One. In April the following year, with the agreement of the Horse Shu owners (Don French had sold in December 1956) and Pete Piersanti, the town was renamed Jackpot. In 1960, the town was connected to the electrical grid, the old hand-cranked telephones were replaced with a modern system, a post office opened and a full-time sheriff's deputy was assigned. What had been just a remote spot in the high desert seven years earlier was now a 'mini-Reno.'
I played endless gigs there from 1980-2002. I was even there on 911, while playing bass for the Herb Mcquay show. It’s not a bad place, but it ‘is’ remote. We musicians used to refer to it as ‘Jock Strap’ Nevada…. Lots of great memories….
Jackpot Juggalos? Nah, too much like the term for the followers of Insane Clown Posse.....Oh...How about...Jokes of Jackpot?....nah, that sounds mean and no ring to it......Ohh ohh I got it.....Jackpot..... Jackpot Justifiers???....Man this is a tough game.
1:35 Looks like the dam on Salmon Falls Creek, and the Salmon Falls Creek reservoir backed up behind it. Been there a number of times for fishing, camping, and exploring the area. Salmon Falls Creek runs North out of Nevada and into Idaho, which, as you know, is where the dam and reservoir are. Been to Jackpot more times than I cared to keep track of. Used to fly a Cessna 182 or a Piper Cherokee Arrow down there once in a while - made the trip a lot shorter. The runway at Jackpot can be challenging on hot days (density altitude issue), but it's also a lot of fun! Nice to see you made it into the Gem State, if only by a handful of miles. The mobile homes are where most of the casino employees live, although a number of them commute to and from Twin Falls, which is the closest CITY to Jackpot (45 miles North). Rogerson is just a few miles north of the dam. They actually have a couple of gas stations there and a few groceries. There also is (or used to be, anyway) a pretty cool wildlife museum on the East side of the highway before you get there, accompanied by a gas station/convenience store. The nearest Indian Reservation is at Duck Valley, where the Shoshone-Paiute Tribes stay. The outdoor stadium is for entertainment events. They get some fairly big-name showbiz types in to play that venue sometimes, although they're mostly the "golden oldie" crowd, or the occasional current or recent Country Music entertainer(s). Rogerson was where the stagecoach (or wagon) came from that was robbed down around Jarbidge by the estimable Mr. Kuhl. back in 1916. Stay safe out there.
I used to have a neighbor, a retired policeman, who would fly his Piper Cherokee down to Jackpot now and then to acquire female accompaniment at some of those trailers. Then a bourbon and a steak dinner at Cactus Pete's, get some sleep, and then fly home the following day.
Only you could make Jackpot a total event! Actually, like you I love these out of the way little towns for their basic weirdness, like Trona, Hawthorn, NV, to name a couple I've spent some time in. Love your upbeat, fun kind of take on the places you visit.
WH, watching your videos plants a big smile on my face, as I start listening and watching another unique WH tour …..your videos are the only videos that doesn’t stress one out to listen …stay safe kiddo
Don't forget Wendover Nevada for the Northern Utah folks. It is pretty interesting being by the Salt FLats and a old Army base that was used for training for dropping the first Atom bomb.
Wendover is a nice little Nevada-style border town. Used to stop at the Peppermill there sometimes. Historically significant town and Army airfield during WWII, as you mentioned.
Hey Wonderhussy your content is first class! Your wanderlust definitely deserves 200K+ subscribers. I hope to see you randomly some day as I’m a Utah’n close to Nevada .Thanks for sharing.
Great video. My mom lives there and I'm thinking of moving there but I have never explored the town. Thanks for letting us tag along in your adventure!
I am Canadian (Alberta) and wish that I could travel south. Thank You for such an interesting and enjoyable video. I really do admire your skills in what you do. Very entertaining to say the least!
I'm a Canadian and I bought a building lot in Jackpot last summer, sight unseen. COVID restrictions blocked me from visiting, but they have been lifted and I'm hoping to travel to Jackpot soon.
My grandmother, who was from southwest Oklahoma, taught 1st & 2nd grade in Jackpot from sometime in the late 60s to her retirement in 1982. Cactus Pete’s hosted a retirement party for her to show the town’s gratitude because no other teacher had ever stayed there for more than a year or two. During the time she was there the school only taught grades 1 - 8. All the high school kids had to take the daily 70 mile bus ride down to Wells. And, of course, the 70 mile ride back as well.
@@twilakazzee2811 thank you for that memory! My great-grandmother passed in 1983 at the age of 96. She drank a cup of milk every day right up to her last day.
👍👍👍JackPot was one of my grandparents favorite places to go and gamble. Cactus Pete has acquired a fair sum of my family inheritance!!! I always enjoyed picking up lunch at the store in jackpot and having a picnic at the little rest stop just south of the town!! Pretty little spot right next to a creek. 👍👍👍
My grandparents loved it there too! They used to travel and hit up all the little casino cities in Nevada ☺️ Looking at all her collected hotel bathroom cups and stuff was one of my fav things to do lol
@@oklahomafreedom5536 I agree.....but friends???Ehhhhh they're both amazing, special and goofy people.....I mean, she is only like 11 years older....so....they could, ya know, one day....be more than friends....ahem....anyway, would be cool for them to collaborate on a video together....."Exploring Cerro Gordo with Brent Underwood"....does have a nice ring to it.....or....OR.....what if.....Brent....what if Brent posted a vlog: "Exploring the caves around Sarah's desert Compound"....or something like that????
Thanks, Wonder hussy, you have inspired me to stop coffee, now maybe i can inspire you to stop alcohol. Try it, i feel much better. Much love and respect.
Enjoy your travels. Went to Joshua Tree twice this year. Went to Giant Rock and the Integratron. Love the deserts of California. I'm from Texas and didn't know you guys had deserts and snow-capped mountains next to each other. Love your trips. You're so cute and tiny but smart and adventurous. Keep it up
Hello wonderhussy. It's Ted. I'm glad you're still putting your videos on Wednesday. It happens to be my day off from work and I can catch up on your adventures. Drive safe my friend
Thanks for the video! I've camped overnight several times around Jackpot when driving across the country. It's a long day's drive from home for me. You gave a good perspective on the area. I've thought about detouring through Jarbidge sometime but so far I haven't wanted to take the extra time. I expect to be passing through Jackpot again next month. Best wishes to you "Wonderhussy."
The Fabulous Wonderhussy is the best travel channel host on the Tube. Sarah Jane , you rock. Thanks for another great video only the way you can do it..
I almost bought a home there, Almost. After that earth quake, I got the heck out of there, but before I left, those hamburgers were absolutely amazing.
my dad and i stayed at cactus petes for one night in 2009, ordered a steak in the restaurant and it was so tough you couldn't cut it with a serrated steak knife, asked for another one and it was just as bad.. but they wouldn't replace or exchange it for anything else and still charged us for it. it was july and the air conditioning in the room didn't work, and you couldn't open the windows.. i don't know if things have changed but i won't stay there again...
My wife has never had surf and turf, so I decided to spend the money we didn't have. After I explained that it was one of the best meals on the planet they brought a charred raw cold piece of meat plus a cold tough pink thing they swore was lobster. So much for a romantic getaway.
Yikers! I'm so glad you gave us that warning to take back control of one's ummm.. errr sphincter, Sarah! 🤣 Cos when you cut to that next scene looking down, if I hadn't regained control of the afformentioned body part, there seriously would've been some mess to clean up at my place and I'm not talkin' about the dishes! 😆Love your world! 😊
We were in Jackpot yesterday and went to the jackpot general store, they do indeed have kombucha, two types! On our previous visit in June, we talked to a bartender at the Four Jacks who lived in Jackpot his entire life. A small building was being destroyed across from the four jacks and he told us about the history of the building - burger, shakes and video store. It was being demolished to build a dispensary, two are coming to town. Yesterday it appeared that the one across from the four jacks was almost complete. My husband and I enjoy your videos very much. Be safe out there!
My mom lived and worked there many years ago… when I visited once, she showed me a hot spring just west of town, on private property, and I enjoyed a good long soak in a good sized, and deep pool
I love going to Jackpot Nevada especially that little grocery store that you’re going to go into every time I drove through there I made it a point to stop there
Thank you for the tour around Jackpot! It has been a long time! No much changed! Nice border town with great service! The businesses support the traveling public! ! You got me a on a “Yikes” moment on the dam! Hope the dam is fine with the leaching of the water! Hope you find another grand adventure soon! That was a nice photo of you with the clysdale - true American-spirit! Best wishes for another great adventure!🤙🌅
Another great tour Wonderhussy , this time in Jackpot. Amazing place on the border between Nevada and Idaho. The trailer and caravan parks were prominent.That clydesdale ( Budweiser) i think it's a float ,stood out. 👍👌😁😎
Bro....you just literally explained what we all saw, you're funny dude. What about the weather? Was it blue with clouds? Incase me miss that......just giving you shit bro, never thought about the border between the two until she showed us this video. Have a good one man.
we've camped at that reservoir a few times. great little campground, nice sites. lots of moles, voles, mice or something running around at night, lots of birds circling and diving around the dam. It's funny how that reservoir water is seeping out around where the dam is keyed into the rock.
Last time I was there, they have an airstrip right behind the Casino. Landed there. TINY TIM was the entertainment, could hear him singing thru the walls. All of the wait staff was from Russia......
You inspire me so much I haven't stuck here in California since the day of my birth. I need to be in Nevada I need to wander too many fences here in California
Nice to see these small unknown places ( uk viewer ?) Love all your videos and seeing America in so many different ways ,,might even get to visit one day?! … best wishes to you and good luck..j.
We went through Jackpot a couple of years ago, exiting Twin Falls, Idaho on our way to Ely and the Nevada Northern Railroad. I think we missed most of it because we blinked.
From the looks of the place, not many people in Jackpot have hit the jackpot! Try some Heineken 0.0, it tastes like beer with no alcohol in it. Senior Class had 14 students.
Oooh, WH…I do adore you, honey!!! Yes, Jackpot looked a bit Smokey! 😷. But you, my dear, stuck it out!!!! Why??? Because you can!!! You are a trailblazer, if I ever saw one ☝️!!! Thank you 🙏 for being you! Nothing more, nothing less! 💗.
Until I saw this, if anybody hadda asked me where Jackpot is, I’da hadda hafta said, “Idaho, I really don’t.” But it was lovely tour-very thorough! Thnx XO
I can’t believe you didn’t find the Jackpot National Forest! I swear it used to be there. Had a couple dozen trees when I first saw it - probably 20 or 30 years ago. Only thing I remember about it’s location was you were quite close to the airport. The first time I passed thru Jackpot was in 1965 while returning to California from home on leave. I remember the two clubs, Horseshoe (sp?) on one side Cactus Pete’s on the other. They were a little smaller then, and there wasn’t much of anything else then!
You and Elton John have a passion for sunglass photo opts.. Fun to listen to your.. you really like the deserts but it would be fun to see a video of you and Darcizzle Offshore fishing in Florida.
Too funny. At 8:23 you put your finger on very RV space I was at in June. The dogs did their business on the green belt and school fence near that stop sign. Lots of RV sites to the right and left. Gotta be near Cactus Petes 👍 I bet that store had "hard kombucha" It's like a kombucha beer.
That desolate area is called the Owyhee. That is where Claude Dallas evaded the FBI for multiple years. It was a mangling of the name "Hawaii" by the locals years ago.
All that fresh produce on offer, in the middle of nowhere....
We should all give thanks to those brave truckers that serve us, 24/7, 365 🇺🇲.
I always respect truck drivers
So Lovely Wonderhussy Gal, even after 2 years we are still finding this video.. THANKS for the tour! 🙂
I have had an unimaginable day.
Came home, mixed a drink, and searched Wonderhussy. Awwww. Much better. Thank you.
You nailed it on the first guess! It really is the Jackpot Jaguars.
And a great shout-out to the tough Trona Tornadoes from Wonderhussy!
Too bad Jackpot is so small, no football team at the high school according to their website (yes, they have a website!).

I love how these videos show a more authentic America and the deserts look so beautiful.
An odd fact is that Jackpot observes Mountain time even though it's officially in the Pacific time zone.
Good that you were able to restock your camping supplies. Thanks for sharing your 2016 photo of you and the Clydesdale.
We ALL enjoyed that one! BTW, you haven't changed a whole lot in 5 years.

That is the Salmon Falls Dam. The dam was the third-largest dam in the world at the time of its construction (1910).
Cool. I looked it up. It said the dam doesn't hold as much water as they thought because it's built from lava rock so it leaks!

Went to Jackpot once in the winter.........lots of snow. Brrrrrrr
What an amazing woman you are! I'm glad I found your videos, which I have spent all day watching. Keep up the great work!
Thank you for the tour around Jackpot! It has been a long time! No much changed! Nice border town with great service! The businesses support the traveling public! ! You got me a on a “Yikes” moment on the dam! Hope the dam is fine with the leaching of the water! Hope you find another grand adventure soon! That was a nice photo of you with the clysdale - true American-spirit! Best wishes for another great adventure!🤙🌅
The dam leaks because it was built with lava rock. (No kidding)
@@TheBandit7613 amazing! Thank you for information!
Another interesting place !!!!! Take Care and Stay Safe Wonderhussy!!!
Another great tour Wonderhussy , this time in Jackpot. Amazing place on the border between Nevada and Idaho. The trailer and caravan parks were prominent.That clydesdale ( Budweiser) i think it's a float ,stood out. 👍👌😁😎
Bro....you just literally explained what we all saw, you're funny dude. What about the weather? Was it blue with clouds? Incase me miss that......just giving you shit bro, never thought about the border between the two until she showed us this video. Have a good one man.
@@Herr_Sensenmann Allgood brother , i just call it as i see it!😂👌🙂👍
Great video! I've never been to Jackpot NV, but have wondered what it is like. We have Wendover on the UT / NV border. Thanks Wonderhussy!
Thanks for the Dam tour Sarah. All the way up in Idaho then Jackpot, NV. Thought you were going to focus on the new digs.
we've camped at that reservoir a few times. great little campground, nice sites. lots of moles, voles, mice or something running around at night, lots of birds circling and diving around the dam. It's funny how that reservoir water is seeping out around where the dam is keyed into the rock.
Many years ago stayed overnight in Wells NV and next day drove through Jackpot on our way to Montana.
Cactus Pete's is GREAT! My first trip thru there was in 90s. It has grown.
Thanks for sharing my local backyard. Grew up in the area and we would cliff dive off the rocks at Salmon Reservoir.
I lived and worked there form 1994 to 2014. Good place and good people.
Last time I was there, they have an airstrip right behind the Casino. Landed there.
TINY TIM was the entertainment, could hear him singing thru the walls. All of the wait staff was from Russia......
Nice place to be from.
awesome video! love your sunglasses!
Loved your sphincter comment, vertigo gets to me fast😆
Good afternoon Ms. Hussey!!!
You inspire me so much I haven't stuck here in California since the day of my birth. I need to be in Nevada I need to wander too many fences here in California
Nice to see these small unknown places ( uk viewer ?) Love all your videos and seeing America in so many different ways ,,might even get to visit one day?! … best wishes to you and good luck..j.
I'm a Canadian viewer. I visited Jackpot in 2019 and liked it so much I bought a building lot there.
Sarah be careful . I been there and we found old houses , but had pioneer Roses, yellow roses , and Wood tick in those old Buildings.
We went through Jackpot a couple of years ago, exiting Twin Falls, Idaho on our way to Ely and the Nevada Northern Railroad. I think we missed most of it because we blinked.
Fun entertaining and eclectic videos.
You look spectacular in your red white and blue by the Clydesdale. Wow
From the looks of the place, not many people in Jackpot have hit the jackpot! Try some Heineken 0.0, it tastes like beer with no alcohol in it. Senior Class had 14 students.
Oooh, WH…I do adore you, honey!!! Yes, Jackpot looked a bit Smokey! 😷. But you, my dear, stuck it out!!!! Why??? Because you can!!! You are a trailblazer, if I ever saw one ☝️!!! Thank you 🙏 for being you! Nothing more, nothing less! 💗.
"Cement slab foundation, FANCY!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 YOU'RE TOO MUCH!!!
Until I saw this, if anybody hadda asked me where Jackpot is, I’da hadda hafta said, “Idaho, I really don’t.” But it was lovely tour-very thorough! Thnx XO
Good one Sarah! All of those little one horse towns have a story to tell!
Thanks
That thumbnail got me all excited now 😆
I can’t believe you didn’t find the Jackpot National Forest! I swear it used to be there. Had a couple dozen trees when I first saw it - probably 20 or 30 years ago. Only thing I remember about it’s location was you were quite close to the airport.
The first time I passed thru Jackpot was in 1965 while returning to California from home on leave. I remember the two clubs, Horseshoe (sp?) on one side Cactus Pete’s on the other. They were a little smaller then, and there wasn’t much of anything else then!
Hey Bill. It’s still there & turkey vultures still come to roost.
enjoying and watching now 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎😊👌❤️ awesome video Wonderhussy
And here I would have thought that you standing next to that clidesdale would be jackpots main attraction! Keep up the good work young lady.
Love the photo with the Clydesdale!! 👍
You and Elton John have a passion for sunglass photo opts..
Fun to listen to your.. you really like the deserts but it would be fun to see a video of you and Darcizzle Offshore fishing in Florida.
I've been there. I like the drive coming from Vegas up to Idaho. It's a nice drive and very little traffic.,
Too funny. At 8:23 you put your finger on very RV space I was at in June. The dogs did their business on the green belt and school fence near that stop sign. Lots of RV sites to the right and left. Gotta be near
Cactus Petes 👍
I bet that store had "hard kombucha"
It's like a kombucha beer.
best looking on video keep up your great work
That desolate area is called the Owyhee. That is where Claude Dallas evaded the FBI for multiple years. It was a mangling of the name "Hawaii" by the locals years ago.
... love the way you 'wave' the flag... 'That's one wild horse 🐎...'
i played the lottory, hopefully i wil hit the jackpot, nice video Hussy!! The best part, the photo of You in front of the plastic horse!!
