My father and his brother created the statue I believe about 5 years ago. They actually drug the wood behind a abt and carried the supplies out with them, camped overnight and created it. The painting really has nothing to do with the area but they were fishermen and hunters

[@GotOxygenO2]

And decent woodcarvers as well. Thank you for the backstory on the totem, Jamey.

[@jazzcatt]

With 180 thousand subscribers and 28,888 views at the time I watched, and the money she makes doing it, she must have a pretty good idea.

[@SCSlimBoiseID]

Several thousand years ago, Lake Bonneville broke through the natural dam that contained it and carved out the Snake River Plain across Southern Idaho, from near Bear Lake, clear across the state. It left behind fields of "watermelon gravel," huge basalt boulders ground and rounded like watermelons from tumbling along under the force of all that water heading for the ocean. There are many such boulder fields across Twin Falls and Owyhee counties.

[@pchaynes]

Anyone who wants to see some of the boulders can visit Celebration Park in southwest Idaho, adjacent to the Snake River. There are even some remnants of stone houses there. You will have to hike or ride a horse, it is nonmotorized. There are also some petroglyphs.

[@SCSlimBoiseID]

@@pchaynes Been there years ago, not long after it opened. Kids and I walked the south bank of the river for a couple miles. Lots of things to see if one looks closely enough. "Take only pictures, leave only footprints," along the trails is a good practice there. My son used to do rock climbing on the north side.

[@robertmongerthe9025]

A word to visitors of the Salt Flats: Give your vehicle a really good washing once you're back to civilization. The salt tends to eat just about everything it sticks to. Even aluminum and stainless are no match for the salt. Happy traveling!

I'm an old hot rodder at heart and that first video you did with your sister on the salt flats is how I stumbled across you. I was watching the speed wars from a few decades ago when you tube did it's match maker thing. The rest is history. lol!

[@obiedacious]

Sarah, my husband and I watch all your videos. We love you!! You are so entertaining and show us so many neat places. We worry about you going all over the place by yourself though. Do you have a personal locator beacon? If not, please get yourself one. You never know if you may need one if you get stuck or something in the desert especially if you are alone. 💕

I so sorry for my stupidity and judgement on my part. I spent three years in Shoshone next to the bar back in 1967 to 1969, I was a little boy. Life was hard the person who was watching me and my sister didn't like me but I had a horse to ride. I want to say thank you for all your videos. The one's I like are the death valley, they bring back memories of my life and some of the best part l miss.

The Bonneville Lake Guardian oversaw the 1st race which they held when it became apparent that the lake was dry it was Bear vs the Fish & it was a dead tie & they nearly came to blows so the sea cap kept the peace declaring both bear and fish winner then guarding everyone there against ruffians & ner do wells

I thought of racing it for time but didn’t have all the safety equipment required plus they wanted a lot of money. Also I didn’t want all that salt on the bike.

[@mtacoustic1]

The totem was probably hauled out by old-school horses or mules. Bonneville speed week is cool! An interesting optic is that, because of the curvature of the earth (roughly 1 foot/mile). racers appear to rise out of the salt as they approach and then disappear as they move away from you.

The north slope looks fairly gentle and there are a lot of stream beds flowing down that slope. A Jeep of the WW2 vintage could get up there with ease. It would be a long journey though.

Dear WONDERHUSSY I ❤️ your amazing TRAVEL SPIRIT 👏 , i just got hooked onto your channel and I see you did the Bonneville Salt Flats which is one of me favorite destinations to go to for any kind of roadtrip wether you're passing by or going there for its own destination. This place is my own slice of heaven as the sunrises and sunsets just are the best ever as I have only been there 4 times and even got stuck there once. I had to call the bonneville towing and got charged $600 to get out of that rut, so definitely be careful out they're as the salt flats do look deceiving in terms of seeing what is good ground vrs bad ground. I am amazed about the secrets you have discovered upon the salt flats as i would love to know where that is at so I can check it out myself.

[@carolynnunes3922]

Brian Landers I agree with you 100%! Having armpit hair shows that a person is mature, and as you said, it’s natural. No shaving means no painful stubble as it starts to grow back out! No ingrown hairs due to shaving anymore! Women and men who shave their armpit and pubic hair look almost prepubescent! It ain’t a positive trend at all!

Is the fish on the Lake Bonneville Guardian Totem the famous Lahoten Trout?
