Dear Sarah, I'm not going to say anything that you have not already heard. You are a beautiful woman with a pure and Gentle soul. And because you remind me SO much of my wife of 45 years, I have to stop watching you. Lana died in 2010, and as much as you make me feel so young (I'm 75) with your kindness and sense of humor, it hurts too much.. God bless you and keep you safe.

Hermit's Cabin The Hermit's Cave was constructed by a man named Bob Stinson. Bob served his country in World War I. Upon returning home from the war he learned that his girlfriend left and married another man. Heart broke he decided to travel to Delta Utah to visit his brother in 1929. While making his way through the Marjum Pass just 45 miles from Delta Utah; Bob's house on wheels broke down. Looking for shelter Bob located a small natural cave in the side of a canyon. By using local rock, he enclosed the front of the cave which is now known as the Hermit's Cave House, or Hermit's Cabin. Bob was often called the Hermit of Marjum Pass. The government paid him to keep the pass clear of debris, as it was at the time the major east/west highway from Delta to Nevada. To earn extra spending money he trapped bobcats and coyotes, mixed poisons for the government to kill grasshoppers, and he even raised a handful of sheep. When Bob would have visitors, out of the greatness of his heart, he would offer them a glass of home brew. In 1951 Bob lost his road job when the new paved highway was built several miles to the south. Bob, then in his 70's, moved into Delta to be near a few more creature comforts. At the age of 80 when Bob passed away he was cremated and his ashes were spread at the base of the rock house he built in Marjum Pass. Please protect the Hermit's Cave for many more generations. Please don't lean on the walls and don't leave your mark in anyway. Always pack out your trash.

[@ericmadeoftin8206]

Thanks for the info.

[@pato6334]

Thanks for the historical info, it’s great to get background info like this.

[@rae979]

Thank you

[@underthetornado]

Thanks for sharing your info on Bob.

[@soonerorlater9297]

What a happy & sad life Bob had. But, don't we all. "Thank You Freedom" (smiles & hug)

[@randywallace0110]

Of all the humans who have walked the earth your personality is the very best!

[@dougblalock5175]

Your videos are among the best on KZbin. Thanks for sharing them.

[@SayYes351]

As an Australian, I give you Kookaburra song a 10/10 - melody was spot on.

[@Chris-d2s2q]

My sisters used to sing that song in the car when we went on road trips and I got annoyed. That was 30 yrs ago and now I miss that.

[@Howdy76]

Tread lightly, Broken Hearted Bob's ashes were spread in front of his cabin. Think i will visit him, one of these days. Nice find Wonderhussy.

[@jedediahzerkle8460]

Jedediah here, it definitely wasn't my house up there in the Cliffside. Sarah thank you for the content and sharing the cool places that you visit here in Utah and all the other places that you visit, and thank you for being so respectful with nature and setting that example. You have inspired me and my friends to explore more of our great country and given me a deeper appreciation for history.

[@zaneclark3667]

That bolder is chief falling rock!

[@mikeparkerson6492]

You are somewhat in one of my former areas of interest pre-retirement, you hussy you. I have taught public speaking/rhetoric with an advanced degree. (Also played around with theater as part of it all.) One of the reasons I follow you, after your stunning beauty, is how you speak. Either you rehearse these videos ahead of time (mentally if no more complicated planning is involved) or you have a nearly spectacular off-the-cuff extemporaneous talent. I salute you as one who puts to work what I used to teach!

[@Howdy76]

Our SARAH IS WICKED SMART, She was on Jeopardy with Ken Jennings , almost kicked his Mormon buttocks.

[@richwhitaker1506]

Wonderhussy you are a real gem. This was a very interesting exploration. Keep up your good work. Hope the homestead is coming along.

[@pedrovision6987]

And like a bolt out of the blue...right out of nowhere... "Make new Friends, but keep the old... One is silver, and the other gold." Thank you Sara...

[@TheJoker6789]

Another wonderful adventure with wonder hussy. Not many people could make tying tennis shoes look interesting.

[@MichaelWilshusen-s8v]

That rock is nice to see a native Indian picture of someone

[@markpashia7067]

Weird stuff in the middle of nowhere! Just my cup of tea!

[@williamskk1]

My favorite things Sarah says start with "I wonder..." "What if..." and "Can you imagine.." She is a great story teller. If she wrote a mystery book I bet it would be a thriller!

[@bigiron8831]

I could live quite well in that cave. Like they say, Born on a mountain, raised in a cave,hiking and hunting is all I crave. Be safe out there 🙏

[@b-radumuck7903]

Lol i heard that one with different ending lol ..

[@SantaFe-wi1ve]

This is the type of video of yours that I have really grown to enjoy. Thank you for sharing...

[@makot2378]

Beautiful Canyon and surroundings. That hermits cave looks impressive. Must of been back in the day, a relaxing and peaceful place, away from human contact. Awesome content Wonderhussy!😁😎👌👍✌

[@Zzus321]

Looks like a flood zone 2 me

[@bobjohnson3247]

This goes down as the best find of 2021. Good hustle Sara Jane !!!!

[@johnholcomn8560]

Beautiful scenery.

[@b-radumuck7903]

I can see someone in need finding that flag and useing it to help stay warm wrapped in old glory and finding comfort knowing someon cared enough to leave the first aid.. I know if i was on foot and found that cabin i might never leave .. looks very peaceful there

[@chrisleos1235]

Your storytelling is very therapeutic for me, it's very relaxing after a stressful day of work, thank you 🤗

[@johnholcomn8560]

It's an art form. Takes us away from the daily B.S. of life and work and worry.

[@anonanon7911]

Watching in VA. Perfect work distraction ❤️ thanks for posting!

[@jburnett8152]

Don't think I could sleep under a mountain but a beautiful area. 💜

[@johnt5652]

Or in a Wash.

[@MC-xw6vm]

No, it’s not just you amiga, that rock looked just like you described. I love how much you love the desert. Me too, thanks for sharing 😎

[@itzjustme.n.charlie2027]

Always entertaining, love the history and her story's, your imagination is wonderful to behold!

[@debbieweckler6832]

Another awesome video. I'm always excited to see you have another video on. Great one , of course. Awesome thoughtful items you left.

[@reynardthefox]

Really great video . Thanks

[@RoccoSantino]

Wonderhussy you are amazing. I love watching your adventures across the country. You have great spunk and freedom. You deserve the metal of freedom award from those of us who can’t travel. God bless!

[@beepseatsfindingfoodtreasu8756]

By the looks of the stonework next to the fireplace it had a door but it was probably burned by a hiker. That would be a great one to fix up for a hikers cabin not much needed to haul up there. Thanks for tour!✌️🇺🇸

[@kc8tby]

Imagine the sense of loneliness, aloneness so to speak, that this fellow must have experienced? Fascinating! Thanks again for a wonderful video and another adventure! Keep them coming!!

[@kenmarapese9085]

The view out of the window up the canyon was spectacular.

[@robrobbins]

I love watching videos of the desolate deserts in the west. I would love to explore them some day. But I don't think I would venture into the wilderness alone.

[@gracieg7601]

What a beautiful place to camp. Love the scenery. It gets dark early to mountain areaS. We used sing those songs in Girl Scout camp.

[@kennethmatondi3981]

Hi Sarah Regarding the "door opening". At 6:40 of your video you can see the mortar Bob used to build the stone walls is concave, Sooooo. probably had a post in place like the right even before he started his stone work. His door timber/jamb if you will. with the rounded timber in place he would build his wall using the door jamb /timber as a guide/form ,mortaring the stone and the jamb together. The timber/jamb on the left may have had hinges for a door. Or maybe a blanket/tarp as a way to cover the entrance. The window frame has a pc. of wood attached. Kinda a flange that may have acted at as sash/or hunk of wood, to close the window off. A bent nail ,twisted into place after putting the wood in place is the sash lock. Im a master cabinet maker and master finish carpenter And "construction super".....other wise known as......."chief cook and bottle washer " if you will. Sooooo just guessing. Travel safe and well!!!!! Ken

[@hgj2019]

At 4:20…that desert “green stuff” is so amazing to me. So many different shades and hues of green. Beautiful.

[@underthetornado]

That's a winter spring .cabin. . probably went up there in the spring thaw. He probably packed in beans and sardines. Hunted and trapped. Really way out there. Enjoyed this video.

[@b-radumuck7903]

I particularly love the way you try and never let us down with new material and wonderfull adventures.. as well as all the endless archive you have of past adventures .. when i need a break i know where to look .. Wonder Hussy allways has my me covered..

[@frankdielsi306]

I"Msure you already know but N utah driving into Oregon in winter is breathtakingly beautiful! SNOW covered mountains!!!!

[@marygbythec7491]

Very nice of some of your viewers to send you useful things to leave at some of your destinations. BIG 👍 to them and to you WH.

[@Howdy76]

WH, Thanks for the heads up on Deep Spring College. I watched 60 Minutes, what an interesting college. Thanks very much.

[@3generations393]

Leaving the cave gifts was a very generous & thoughtful thing to do! 👍 You forgot the waterfall 🤔✌

[@Raydawg]

The view would never get old but the damn cold and snow would. Thank God for Phoenix Az.

[@richardstump4582]

Will See you On the Next Adventure! Have FUN

[@chrisydarg1268]

Southern Utah is absolutely my favorite place, haven`t been in 10 years and been trying to get there.. SO JEALOUS!!

Another great video. What a fun way to make a living! I always look forward to Wednesday, haven’t missed a video since I started watching you in that Big Bend park hot springs video. That compound of yours has so much potential, critters and all. Can’t wait to see your next adventure!

[@Jeff-jg7jh]

When did you first watch WH? I stumbled across the Death Valley Germans story.

[@mikecrean8849]

Sarah you’re such a scream. So funny. Loved your singing. Awesome little cave/hut. 🙋‍♂️🇬🇧😀

[@viveviveka2651]

That cave-cabin is *very* similar to the cliff dwellings of Walnut Canyon in the Flagstaff area. Very beautiful and worth a stop if you are ever near Flagstaff. I'll post a link in another comment.

[@paulsimonds9270]

What beautiful scenery and cave. You sure know how to pick them even if it is not your state. And I missed one of your stories you love to make up.

Great video W.H. adorable singing and looking lovely today.

[@deanpratley125]

Sarah, love your channel. Been watching for a couple years. I am very happy to see that you have found a really fun way to make a few bucks. Your other career was probably fun for a while, but I much prefer the life you are pursuing now. Thank you so much for keeping it fun and interesting.

[@chrisleos1235]

What was her other career?

[@roxydegall3699]

Wow Sarah, not only can you sing like a nightingale, but you can also read music notes.. i am impressed! (i know that German song and this is why i also know that you can read the notes, it was spot on!) What a nice little cave this is and maybe Mr Jones had his secret stash over in the other cave... who knows? lol I love that you left those little things in the cave, shows what a big heart you have!

[@r0024smith]

Good one and you are always informative, Thanks for sharing!

[@kululv]

thanks Sarah, that is an interesting place! I always love when you sing, you got a good voice! Keep exploring!

[@jimschnurr3512]

This was a great find and video. i just returned from a camping trip using my vintage tent and Coleman lanterns from the 1940's. Keep up the interesting work.

[@tuneuptony3679]

Looks like hermit wanted to social distance himself awhile back. He was ahead of his time. Cool find WH! Maybe I will take a drive and find it one day.

[@rockytopwrangler2069]

... Always interesting finds WH ... I also used to spend tons of time studying maps for alpine lakes to backpack and fish ... So much easier now with google maps ... hard to believe there is solitude anywhere ,,anymore ...

[@NomadicBrian]

Great spot to shoot a Western. Would not be surprised if it was used for that already. Oh boy hiking in a cool canyon, exploring caves and a Wonderhussy sing along. Doesn't get any better.

[@howardsmith9342]

I saw something like this south of Moab, Utah. It was a single room blasted into a big sandstone rock, used by a uranium prospector. The water catchment system was still in place, and there was a second door, but it was locked. No idea what was behind it. Cool.

[@kevininny2625]

It's always a good video when Sarah Jane spontaneously breaks into singing

[@glampervanadventures1117]

Yes I see the Native American warrior, in the rock formation.

[@anastaciolopez1434]

I have always wondered why someone would live alone like that. May be they just liked the quiet. An other great video. Thank you for letting me tag along.

[@perry92964]

back in 1929 a lot of people lived like that, not every one had electricity and there was no tv so there wasnt much to do anyway except go to work. things were very different in the cities and towns

[@tomfrye9037]

@Wonderhussy Adventures Great video, Love. I get the feeling that wasn't the warmest "cabin" ever built...but that "stove" probably did take the chill off. I'm imagining the stove pipe was longer at on time nd rose up a good deal more. Otherwise wind would have blown the smoke right back into the cabin. Anyway, thanks for your hard work and for sharing the visit with us.

[@11begood31]

Day tripping with the Wonder Hussy hang on, that's fun, loads of laughs, interesting geology

[@donaldschweitzer1573]

Hermit's cave cabin for doorway maybe had a blanket across it. To block the wind and keep any snow out. He probably pack some would wood for fire s🔥 . Deer 🦌 hide may had for the door and blankets. As for water he could have used one of those Peaches wooden barrel s to get water
