Welcome to Wonderhussy Adventure #180!
Spent New Year's Eve at this ginormous squatters' encampment waaaay down south in California, in a godforsaken corner of the desert just across the Mexican border. This is one of the last places in California where you can live for free -- a demolished military base, with only the concrete slab foundations remaining, upon which squatters have built haphazard shanties and dwellings where they have lived for DECADES, in some cases! Many of the inhabitants are sketchy addicts...but an equal number are free-thinkers, artists and off-gridders who just want to live somewhere unburdened by the b.s. of suburbia. The people I encountered here were without exception kind, creative and generous...and I will not hesitate to go back. These are fringe-dwellers...in other words, MY PEOPLE :-)

I’ve watched just about every slab video there is and Slab Vids are what first got me interested in a nomadic style life. I’m a way older woman, but I’m very young at heart and no one has shown this side of slab like this. Thank you wonder Hussey! I am a regular keep them coming.

lol, in my 43 years on this earth I have yet to meet any woman that is into the nice guy. I took my daughter to Salvation Moutain back in 2015, we checked out slab city. We loved it. I just wish I would have gone when Lenard was still alive. Also in the 43 years on this rock I have read 2 books, Into the wild was one of them. Thank you for this video and all your videos

2005 Charlie gave me a ride across the playa (burning man) in his bus. We would stop random strangers and he would hop out around the back of his bus and serve martinis. One of those life memories sitting inside the bus looking at all the crazy art inside...everything was lit up like a christmas tree from head to toe...inside and out. It was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen. Charlie was the man who spread love to everyone around him. He is missed.

When I first found you a few weeks ago I told you the story about how I found Slab City and you told me that you’d been there before and posted it to your channel. So I’ve been watching your videos in sequence from the beginning in 2017. I want the full story of Wonderhussy. So finally, here it is, your Slab City episode! I love how you ended it by emphasizing kindness as your favorite quality, mine too. I created my channel to emphasize how beautiful fun, adventure and music is for the whole world to see. So this is when you really introduced your trademark American flag glasses, cool. So you first started going there in 2009 which is around when I started going down there regularly from San Diego. I started my channel in 2014 and started posting stuff from the Range shortly after that. I’d been filming down there since 2006 but hadn’t caught any footage at the Range till 2011. I was using a Panasonic camcorder and now I use a Sony camcorder. I like the versatility of the camcorder as opposed to a phone. Plus the audio is much better. You see so much stuff on RU-vid about Slab City now, it’s cray cray. I really liked the way you did your tour of the slabs. I actually met the people in the tank too and they gave me a tour inside. I even got to go up top and hang out. Got footage of all that. Also filmed the celebration when they had all those art pieces displayed in live action. I’m guessing it was kind of like a mini burning man. So I’m at about 180 episodes into Wonderhussy’s extravaganza (what should I be calling them anyhow, episodes, videos, clips, segments or what?… I don’t know… so I’m just gonna call ‘em episodes) and I think you’re getting up to about 800 ‘episodes’ now so I gotta little ways to go. But I can’t tell you how happy I am to be sticking to my guns to watch from the very beginning cause I’m really enjoying thisride on the Wonderhussy express! Plus it’s nice to go back to a time before Covid and everybody wearing masks.

This has been the saddest and hardest year in my 48. But I might just get through one more. My birthday was 1/15/1970 so I made it though the most recent and worst. You have sent many kind words my way so thank you
