- Welcome to Wonderhussy Adventure #361
If you've ever sat in the Tecopa natural hot spring and looked up at the mountains to the east, you may have noticed a little splotch of green about halfway up that barren expanse. This is Chappo Spring, a very remote desert homestead with some really cool old cars, and a pretty substantial oasis! Who lived here? Let's try to figure it out!

A Paiute woman named Juanita Weed lived on the property in the 1970s. Her daughter Delores Simmons was a neighbor of mine in Moapa. Sadly, she passed away recently. Another daughter, Marie Wilson still lives in Pahrump. Thanks for the Adventures SJ.
The yellow truck looks like a Dodge 1950s. The first Black car is a 1960 Plymouth Fury, second blue and white car with bullet holes is a 1957 Chevrolet Bel-air 4 door, the third car is a white 1957 Plymouth staton-wagon. such cool cars. Thank you, Sara.
If you haven't noticed you're making a career out of studying hot springs you're doing a very good job thumbs up
Dodge truck, Plymouth fury , 57 Chevy , Plymouth station wagon
I bets lots of people have looked up there and seen that patch of green and wondered what was there.
Kudos to you and Larry for picking up the balloons.
Chappo Springs was a training area used by the USMC in the 1960s. There is two old mines located west of the springs. There is also an old cemetery (dating back to 1860s) in the hills.
@@anthonywright774 I would join and help out..
Let's start a commune!
Thumbs up for the video, a bunch of thumbs up for Larry collecting the mylar balloons. Thanks Sara & Larry, Jon
The blue one is a 57 Chevy. The last one is a Rambler
Great video , Sarah! Thanks for cleaning up the balloons, Larry!
Indeed. Maybe we can chip in and get Larry a trash pick up tool. An old board/rod from that old shack (assuming it ain't a "historical site") and a rusty nail might work, but then again splinters and lock-jaw ain't no joke; ok back to the fancy tool.
See DBRC Facebook page for move balloon cleanup action
Thank you Larry for going to the trouble to remove the litter (mylar balloons) from the beautiful desert landscape. Very true, please leave it better than you found it.
That Fury! A work of art.
Just did a comment about graveyard carz, they normally do mopar but for rear stuff they can do stuff most people dream of.
Always nice to see Larry along with you. keep up the good work Sarah.
Would you believe.. when I was a kid 9 yrs of age my parents took me on a trip to Canada in the family Plymouth station wagon. We slept in the car and I still recall sleeping on the front seat. Many years later, my parents purchased a GMC Motorhome w/all the conveniences incl TV, AC, shower, kitchen.. big difference!
You may have been conceived in that station wagon!
LOL!!
Looks like they were raising rabbits. Cool old site. Thx for sharing 👍
It is alot of fun Sarah, you showing all those old cars. I know your viewers enjoy calling out the make. I so love ur take on life, and the remote things most never venture to
So glad your not alone. Thank you Larry! Keep her safe. Great video.
Larry is so lucky to be hanging out with Wonderhussy!
Just added Chappo Spring to my GPS. Thanks for another point of interest to explore when I return to Death Valley.
Really love it when she pokes around these kind of abandoned places. Not too far from Ross the one legged miner's
place and now Wonderhussy and Wondersis compound nearby.
The third vehicle looked like a 57 Chevy Belair with the classic sky-blue lower half. My best guess. Great videos!
The light blue and white car is a '57 Chevy.
Probably a Belair.
@@gsp49 Nope 210 Belair would have had a aluminium insert
Agreed
Probably not a Belair. Either a 150 or a 210.
1960 Plymouth fury, beautiful car. Early 50's Dodge truck. 1959 Plymouth wagon and 57 chevy. What an interesting place
With what you find you should hook up with graveyard carz because if they like the carcass they will pick them up and do something most people would call a miracle.
Nice camp stove and kindling, and thoughtful with toothbrush for after the snipe dinners caught in the string actvated trap. The pencil to write goodbye notes if the snipe is old. You could also need string to dry your socks seeing all the water there.
"if you hear any weird noises that is because Larry is here" WOW that is just funny. I thought I heard some wild boar sounds I figured it was the wind, but no Larry is there.
I thought the same...but I am kinda pig like.
Baby blue w/white is 57 Chevy ! Way Kool!
Dragging those old box springs behind a vehicle make good road grading, smoothing out tools.
Another great explore From Wonderhussy, thanx for taking us along love exploring the desert, & Thanx Larry for picking up those Balloons :>)
You are Awesome, thanks so much for sharing all the fun journeys!
I enjoyed this video and all the video's that Sarah makes.
She got out of the mental institution in 2017. Still pretty shakey if you ask me. So I wouldn't take too much stock in what she has to say.
@@mistervacation23 I think you are misinformed. Sarah attended a 10 day silent meditation retreat in Dec of 2017. As for the second part of your comment it's your opinion and I'm not going to try and change it here.
@@scottfrederick4457 Oh ok
@@mistervacation23 OK Nazi
The greenery is truly a gorgeous sight to see in such a sun baked dried up place
A true desert OASIS !
Amazing where water can show up.
Great intro music and another adventure! The black cans on the fridge looks like a hobo stove.
Thanks again for sharing life with enthusiasm and passion for EarthMom
"Leave it better than you found it, but let someone else do the work"
Good job Larry, you need a raise.
She arrived in a Plymouth, but left in a Fury. lol
It weighted in at almost 2 tons at Fury all the Dodge and Chrysler Plymouth cars were beasts. I had a 59 olds.
The truck is a Dodge about 48 to 51. Love your Channel!!
Yes my guess id Dodge as well although it could be ab international...but probably Dodge
So absolutely beautiful. I can't get away from Buzz Aldrins description of the Moon Magnificent Desolation. To me this describes the desert. If you read this Sarah, wasn't this before you moved to Tecopa. I just noticed this one was 4 years ago, surprised I missed it Ive been a fan for years.redbaron Chattanooga TN
Hey everybody!, we all love Sarah Jane because she loves exploring the places that we love to see and and hear about.! This is very dear to my heart because I love mountains Canyons desert ghost towns mines and beautiful wilderness and so does Larry. And they have been very nice to share all of this with us. Even me a broke ass laborer living on my sailboat on the Oakland Waterfront who goes out to the mountains and the rivers whenever I can want to support the patreon effort for her medical bills but I don't even hold a charge card or a bank account. Hopefully others can find it in their heart to do so because we don't want to lose wonderhussy Adventures beautiful endeavors!
I hope all is well Sarah Jane with your medical issues and bills there's not much I can do in my position. I read so many comments about cars, well this is what I can say, people are important not machines
@@janjohannessmith7033 she doesn't read ANY comments!!
Hello.Miss Wonderhussy is so cool.I just love her travel show.☺😊💓🌍🌏🌎🍂🍁🎃.
Always a great little video.thanks for the cleanup remarks.
Hi ! thank you Sarah , thank you Larry …..the dream would be to see that place clean and livable ; with happy people staying there ; but : c'est la vie ………...
Wrong generation/ hell wrong half century!
Hi still watching from Los Osos CA. Thanks Ron.
Good for you Larry and you too for helping to clean up. Always interesting. Thanks
A58 Dodge pickup, A 60 Plymouth Fury, a 57 Chevy Bel Air and maybe an old Desota wagon.
The blue 4 door was a 1957 Chevy belair. Classic car the wagon may have been a Plymouth as well.love the area. Love your videos.
Thank You Larry....Excellent vid.
Well, that explains what happened to Christine.....
I was thinking about Stephen King's Christine too! But is the car in the movie the same as the one in the book?
@@DreamBlissYT 1959 Fury in the book. Never saw the movie.Oop my bad. I am corrected. been 30+ years since i read the book.
Christine was a 58
@@DreamBlissYT haven't read the book in years but I think she was a 4 door 58. Movie Christine was a 58 belvedere 2 door hardtop
MOVIES!!!
Another grand explore, as always!!!
1960 Plymouth Fury, I remember it very well, as my Grandfather had one.
viprbludelta : I had a 1960 Dodge Seneca with 3 speed on column and 225 slant 6. The Seneca was a Dart.
Someone stole the batmobile and you found it 👍😎
you can bet someday that '57 Chevy will be made into a cool rat rod, bettcha.
There is a guy in town who drives around in an old Plymouth Fury that car is a real one
the truck is (was) a international harvester...old timey...
That's what I was thinking, IH
As they used to be called, a "corn binder".

very good job in editing vid
You sure are a good tour guide. Luurved it. Keep Smiling WH
The abandoned old vehicles especially that old station wagon really give me Horror movie vibes.. I can picture 5the family out on a road trip laughing seeing cheesy songs when all of a sudden BAM flat tire.. the dad gets out of the car sure of himself and secure in his Manhood that he can change the tire in no time. " Instead the father ends up the first casuality
1960 Fury, coldwarmotors in canada is restoring one popular you tube chanel
Scott could use the trim bits
Laaary ! Again the last few video 's I've watched up pops Laaaary! again he's making me jealous lmao I wouldn't mind strolling & dipping in the springs with wonderhussy (Sarah) lol ❤️😍
You got it wonderhussy
kool video good find thumbs up and shared
Thanks for packing it out! Every time I go fishing I find plastic......
Yes it is 1960 Plymouth 1957 Chev and wagon was 1959 Plymouth awesome 👍 cool 😎 videos
Funny how the Valentine's balloon lasts longer than the relationship...
Cold war motors could use the Fury parts.
At least the parking brake was on, lol!
4.51 1960's Plymouth fury
I think the light blue and white station wagon is a Plymouth (late '50s or early '60s).
That was a Fargo or Dodge Truck, dually. The Station wagon was the same brand as the Plymouth Fury I think. Good old '57 Chevy with the wagon. You are getting better at vehicle ID.
so cool WONDERHUSSY is the best!
That is a 1960 Plymouth Fury I have one just like it wish I could get out there and take the quarter panels in the fenders off that thing
By the way Nov. 2-3 is Shoshone Days. Come out and do a video on Shoshone Days.
I will be in da Barn. Keep exploring 🤙🏼
Paul Bear Bradford I will try to make it with a fatty blunt to hotbox the barn !
Thank you for adding that that seems very significant I wish I could be there
Thank you for cleaning all of the mylar. I hate that stuff. But, at least we hav consientious people like you and Larry. I would have cleaned it up too.
The can with the toothbrush looks like it's a home made rocket stove.
That Good ole fukin Larry saved the day again.
Brilliant! Another vlog where wonder hussey hasn't got a clue what anything is!
Great video! Thank you! :)
If you are not certain on what type of vehicle it is, check the door way for a silver/grey tag, that will tell you the details of that vehicle, if not there, check in the engine compartment on the back (fly) wall
We concur.
Yikers what a cool place !
The wagon is a 1959 Plymouth Suburban Station Wagon......... I had one..mine had a 413ci engine and the still groovy push button trans.... I LOVED MINE........ Watch out for them rattlers.
Trippy! Palm trees there. :D
The Blue car is a 1957 Chevrolet Bel-Air , The black car is a 1960 Plymouth Fury, the Wagon 1959 Plymouth Suburban
Your second car is a Chevy Bel Air from between 1955 and 1957. If it was in good shape it would be worth some big bucks.
fins on cars, I love fins!
WOW 👌 👏 😍 WOW....
Every great adventure and every encounter with a serial killer has the words "answered a random email from some dude."
Christine! The pencil holder looking thing with the toothbrush looks like a "rocket" stove. very cool.
You find the best places, love yu from idaho.
Glad Larry cleaned out the head box before you got there
Nice video.
Wow what a place to re establish a homestead.
Chappo was Geronimos son.
I dont know the meaning of the name.
This is the interesting historical footnote that I like reading in comments thank you for that
That black thing with the toothbrush looked like a rocket stove. it had some sticks in it for fuel.
Great Video, nice balloon catch!
Rik Spector
You Really Rock Sarah,and I will get to your Patreon account! I hope your health gets better soon..Stay well
yellow truck is a late 40s 1 ton dodge the fury is kinda rare its a 1960 hardtop last year for fins and has a big option trim package, 57 4 door belair, and a 59 suburban which was like a heavy duty station wagon of its day or todays SUV... a few trips to home depot i think i could live there
Dodge pick up and last was Plymouth sports wagon
This is the place you should buy!
The cup with the tooth brush... geocache for the adventurous.
Wow-Coldwarmotors would give body parts for that Fury front end and trim
Blue and white car is a 57 chevy.like what elvis owned. I had one and it was a beauty.
1st time in Tecopa. What a neat sleepy oasis in the Mojave!. Weird to watch your video at the turnoff from hwy, but it was the first thing that came up on my Google search. Saw the palm trees from the hot pool just outside of Town yesterday and knew I had to check to see if there was a pool...wah, wah, wah guess not. Thanks for funny & colorful commentary...I think your side gig should be as a tour guide...maybe at Hoover Dam, or Ronald Reagan Presidential Library.
The last vehicle is a 59' Plymouth Suburban, and the the second a 57' Chevrolet BelAir, and of course the 60' Fury wagon. The truck is a bit difficult, but I believe it is 49' Chevrolet 3100 Pickup.
