Camping in the Mountains Outside Beautiful Bridgeport, CA 

I would like to chime in on a couple aspects of Sarah's adventures. And those would be her storytelling skills and her pictures, whereas her every image is clear and tells a story But, it is her editing skills which are absolutely impressive. The most impressive. As good, or better than whatever is is available on TV and cable. Her editing skills are on par with PBS. My opinion is PBS is the benchmark of storytelling. I am semi-retired after over 40 years writing, hosting, directing, producing and editing video. She produces videos of the highest quality. Her B-roll, or cutaways - images that augment her story - moves the narrative along beautifully. If I was looking for a video partner to assist in every aspect of video, I would scoop her up faster than a pistachios ice cream cone. I could lay on more compliments about her obvious skills, but just wanted to say what an incredible talent she possesses. Not least to mention her honesty and openness. I love her beautiful soul. If I were 30-40 years younger, I would be sending her love letters daily. I'm not smitten (well, kinda), just duly impressed. Think about it: she travels to the location, she runs the camera and the narrative (with perfect sound even when windy), she shoots with the light source behind her, she does voiceovers, she edits the show, and uploads it. All by herself. And I'll bet when she dials in a difficult edit and it comes out perfectly, she laughs crazily and pats herself on the back. I did. Oh and she properly calls the area The Sierra, not The Sierras. I hoist my morning coffee to you, Sarah Jane! TC

The yellow flower is called Wooly Mule's Ears.

Just move Mom to Bridgeport and call it a day. It sounds like she would be very popular there and you could go to Travertine Hot Springs whenever you visit.

It's great to see you again, Wonder Hussy! I'm an old lady now however I can always live life through your wonderful trips through California & Nevada. ❤

Your mom raised a great lady

WH-the female version of Seinfeld-a show about nothing! Best show on RU-vid!

I'll bet there's a lot of people that hasn't been to Idaho. I want you to be my guide! We love you, Wonderhussy! 🚙🚙

This Gal is a great " stress reliever " , so much nicer to hear her voice than media ! all day long too

Lambs ear. Natures toilet paper. If you know, you know. LOL

That’s so sweet of you to help your mom

Oh, how I long for a "Like" from the "Wonderous One"!

I've been a fan for years. I've been to the Eastern Sierras many times but I'm limited these days, cant drive long distances so much. I love the Bridgeport area, especially the hot springs. I love living vicariously through your great clips. Thank you so much for your geeat show Sarah Jane, keep on truckin' keep on soakin' ❤️❤️❤️

Mamas are the best. Without them none of us would be here. Some are better than others. Wonder Hussy's Mom must be an extra special woman to have raised Sara Jane. The results were fantastic. Lost my parents way too early. Glad Sara's Mom is still in her life.

As a veteran. Let me just say. Honor Memorial Day as you wish. That's the best way to honor the sacrifice of the Fallen. They sacrificed everything so that we have the freedoms to make that decision. Honestly everyone that I knew that never came home. Would be happy to know that people are wishing others Happy Memorial Day and celebrating.

Yeah we used to call those mules ears when I lived in Carson valley. So I concur with the other commenter

Life has a way of letting you know that the time has come to give your love and patience to your Mom. You’re a good person, Sarah.

Howdy Sarah! Stay safe young lady.. Thanks for sharing and taking us along!

You will never regret helping a parent while you can. Time is finite even if it is still decades.

I'm as cheap as you are but you know you gotta get it uploaded. Good luck!

Go north -- sunrise 5:16am, sunset 9pm where I am. That's a lot of solar charging. Have a memorable Memorial Day.

Bridgeport would be a great place for your mom. You'd only be about 4 hours away. It doesn't really get that hot in the summer there. I used to run the 395 corridor all the time, delivering high end hardwood flooring from the Reno NV area in the early 2000s. I'm very fond of Bridgeport. It's a beautiful place...

Dang that pesky internet. Thanks for sharing your time with us!🇺🇸

Enjoy your time with your mother. My mom passed 2 months ago. No matter how old she was it was too soon. I miss her daily.

My friend and I stayed at the Bodie hotel last week The rooms do have bathrooms.

Everything happens for a reason. You are a good daughter. And a better vlogger!

No no no. It's Mules ear (Wyethia). Everywhere up there. @avnostiga

Wonderhussy, you've always impressed me as being flexible when it's required. Glad you can help your Mom. Beautiful campsite. Love the aspen grove. Having to pull up stakes and go to town let you meet new people and dogs. Plus you got your favorite carne asada fries. Win,win,win. Keep doing you and we'll follow. Stay well Sarah ❤❤❤

I stayed at that same motel a few years ago, I was in that front corner room on the left of your closing shot. I was shocked when I checked in and they handed me an actual key for the door instead of one of those magnetic cards. A great place to spend the nite and staff was very nice and helpful.

good to have a happy place im happy everyone needs to work atleast your working for yourself

That guy had a Berts shirt on, big motorcycle shop in Covina CA.

I was in Bridgeport a few weeks ago and stayed at the Virginia Creek Settlement, just a few miles out of town and close to the turnoff to Bodie. Prices for rooms were reasonable and had strong WiFi signal. The onsite restaurant had good food. Gas firepits and comfy chairs right next to the creek. Nice place.

Huell Howser says : "YOU GO GIRL" !!!!

"The Hills are Alive" ... beautiful spot. 👍👍

You have so much fun by yourself. I ride the trail alone too Pilgrim. Don't really need anyone to enjoy nature's beauty. Good episode Hussy.

Shara the yellow flowers you were looking at are called Balsamroot. They grow all over the place up here in the eastern Cascade mountains in Washington. Ours were pretty much gone by Memorial Day this year. We love that part of California thanks for sharing.

You are lucky to still have your mother. Take care of her and appreciate her as much as you can!

Love seeing your videos. My wife and I dreamed of living that life but due to health issues we can't so now I live vicariously through you

You are a answet to prayers for me and I am so happy to have you and your show in my life, and you have lifted up my heart so much. I thank you so much. Please be blessed and safe.

I spent the last 10 years of their lives taking care of my parents, when I was at my day job I had a home health care company taking care of them. If I ever get to a point where I am as incapable as they were, well, there is always the self-directed early exit.

I love you Sarah, thank you!

I watched the Bagdad Cafe movie last night.......It is really cold you helped get a new roof for those folks ! ..........I mean you helped preserve a piece of history.

Sage, lots of it. Bridgeport to Carson City, IMHO, God's Country. Some of the film, Out Of the Past (1947), starring Kirk Douglas, Robert Mitchum and Jane Greer, was filmed in and around Bridgeport! :)

I know I say this all the time, but these videos are the MOST interesting on RU-vid. Just fascinating. I'm based on the east coast but I have some work projects coming up out West. Can't wait to visit some of these places. Thanks WH!

I love Bridgeport! I could just live there in the Summer/fall..and go down to DV in the winter... I'll bet the fall colors up there are fantastic!... People so underestimate California...one of THE most beautiful states in America....

And once again, Sarah is walking through the scrub in flip flops. Not a good thing to do. But hey. she just does her thing and every one of her videos are a joy to watch and a pleasure to listen her prat on.

Bridgeport has a great 4th of July festival and fireworks show

I know exactly where that is. I love Bridgeport. The old dam for the electric generator is down by them aspen’s.

Have you ever considered staying at a RV park instead of a hotel. Many have showers, pools, bath houses, electricity, and wifi. All for about half the price of a hotel. You sleep in the truck all the time. That's just like an RV

I loved this video, as always. Yes, very sweet to help your mom. I'm in the same sort of move. Thankfully my son, family is helpful. Love your work.

I agree. That site is great! Camped there for the 1st time last year....lol

Those plants look like Mullen, if it is it's very medicinal

Blue sky...so nice.

Your skin is looking fantastic!! Keep doing what you’re doing. ❤️‍🔥😍🥰😎

Just a quick note. Jackery batteries are pretty hard to charge in a day to day way as a car camper unless you charge as you drive. Bluetti makes better solar batteries for traveling. Cheers!

Hi Huss,new fan alert ⚠️ Been binging up on you all day.Great vids,by a great lady. Glad you're enjoying my beloved eastern High Sierras. Lived in Bishop for 20 years Mammoth for 25. You rock 🪨

Wildflower is Northern Mule’s Ear, Wyethia amplexicaulis. Love them!

I live in the middle of the Arizona desert. I also had long hair . I always kept it braided which keeps it a lot cleaner and more manageable. I do understand about needing to wash your hair because of oil. My hair was super thick and down to my waist. But keeping it in a braid kept it under control and a lot cleaner on camping trips in my desert.

Thanks Sarah.Enjoyed the Wednesday video about the mules.Beutiful area you re at.Thanks!

Once more I extend the offer to come visit my summer camp. Kaniksu Ranch north of Spokane Washington. If you don't want to see a ton of naked people don't come the last weekend in July. That's the Bare Buns Fun Run and we typically see around 4-5 hundred naked runners. Love ya girl.

That's cowboy's toilet paper😅

Use your engine & alternator to supplement your solar. Had to do that for my House Battery at Paris, TX solar eclipse with its persistent rain. BTW you are not “cheap” - you are “CAREFUL”.

Go to the Midwest to hear the 17 year cicadas/locusts. The sound is like a spaceship from Mars.

Bridgeport has excellent fishing areas with brown trout and rainbows. You fish and walk up the creeks and smell the nature all around you. Hugs from Santa Barbara Beautiful Sarah. 🤗😘🍷🌹😎

Hi WONDERHUSSY! I wish I could have some of that carne asada fries and you are a wonderful daughter to look after your MOM, she taught you RIGHT because you are a VERY INTELIGENT WOMAN! LOVE YOU AND YOUR VIDEOS :)

El Chapin Co Springs Co. Asada fries are my favorite pretty good the meat is callicrate awesome !

I reckon those plants your walking through..have medicinal and or nutritional possibilities

Beautiful area

There was a bakery in Bridgeport, so popular they would sell out within a few hours. My family knew of it on their first visit to the Sierras because of friends who visited Bridgeport in the past. We would spend $15 (equivalent to $80 now). The last time I was there was in the 70s. To me much better than Schat's (in Bishop and then Mammoth Lakes).

💕💕💕💕💕💕looking very lovely

I admit I haven't searched for any other Bridgeport videos on your channel...but I was hoping you stopped in at Sierra Strange. That shop would be right up your alley! Freaking cool place!

My dad is buried at the Bridgeport Cemetery up on the hill. He's buried next to his wife Grace. She owned the Bridgeport motel and my dad helped her run it. My Dad is buried next to Mr Berryessa along with his wife Grace

Good morning. I have really enjoyed your videos for a long time. You do a great job from your research to presentation. Since your summer is in flux and you plan on staying around home can I make a suggestion for a video? I would enjoy seeing how you produce your excellent content. Thanks and keep up the great work.

Great video Wunderhussy! I love the Eastern Sierras and hope to get up there and do some Tenkara fishing for the first time. Love, love, love to mountain bike down Mammoth Mountain while I’m up there too. Get a 12 volt plug that goes in the cigarette lighter plug and with the engine running while driving or even sitting still you can charge your battery in a pinch. You might have gotten one with your Jackery.

yes, great editing and insight. A caring yet thoughtful pro. Rare!+

Oh wow! Missed this one.

Good to hear you're looking out for your mom. Maybe she should move to Bridgeport--great little town.

The area around Bridgeport is gorgeous. There's a dirt road that leaves Bodie (Bodie-Masonis Rd) and heads north. Make a left turn onto Aurora Canyon Rd and end up in Bridgeport. Lots of spots on that route to camp.

Its called Buckeye Creek been there 50 times lol. Thanks for sharing.

1:37 Common Woolly Sunflower

I love your office. Gotta have your own bathroom. Money is no object! I love Bridgeport. The turn-off for twin lakes and great fishing is right there. ❤

My wife and I camp in that exact spot! BFR 😁 we live near Gardnerville. We even named it " wildflower camp" best star gazing ever!! LOVE the Sweet Water Mountains!

I laughed about the person seeing you from the other ridge

Hi Sarah thanks for 2 videos. Good to hang out with you

Thanks for sharing these videos!

THANKS!

Another AWSOME video Wonderhussy :):):):) No Pressure though LOL

Gotta agree.. the carne asada fries from there are amazing ! 😊

I wish I had an "office" like that. Beautiful area.

I love your videos and storytelling skills!

The G5 4Runner has a 400-watt 120v plug. You can idle the engine to recharge batteries and power the Starlink

Film the whole ordeal of looking, finding, and moving to the new house.

Thank you for taking us to Bridgeport again. It was nice to see you enjoying the great outdoors. Your fries looked amazing and filling. Best wishes to you and mom! Be sure to keep us updated on mom’s move. Stay safe and awesome! 😀🧧

The Bodie Hotel is awesome. It's haunted as hell! And, you don't check in inside the hotel...you check in at the bar next door LOL.

Love this video so much! We will definitely check out Bridgeport, CA. Can't wait to try Asada fries. YUM! Love that you're helping your Mom. Mine is in hospice and has not much time left. Moms are special and deserve respect and love. You keep things so real and relatable. Thank you.

Good luck finding a new home for your mom. Idaho will be there later too.

Awesome.. we’ll be in Bridgeport next month for our own sausage fest on dual sport bikes..

Coincidentally, my 88 year old father and I were camping at Robinson Creek the week before Memorial Day. Fishing was good there and Twin Lakes. The cheese burger, fries and onion rings at The Barn are the best my dad has ever had. Mahogany Smoked Meats and Schatt’s Bakery in Bishop are must stops on the way home for us 👍

The eastern sierra nevadas from Bishop to LAke Tahoe is so damn beautiful

W.H., you should try to outfit the truck with a second battery. You obviously have a good solar and battery rig, but the second battery will cover your phone, lamp, and probably another item. Other than that, I'd recommend upgrading the solar so that you charge faster in full sunlight, meaning more time out and about from the truck, and will fully charge in cloudy weather.
