ROAD TRIP! Driving Back to Death Valley and Taking Care of Business Along U.S. 395



The Wonderhussy Report 7.7.22:
ROAD TRIP! Driving Back to Death Valley and Taking Care of Business Along U.S. 395
June 2022 NV/OR/CA Expedition Part 17 of 17

I had to go back into the bowels of hell, aka Death Valley in July, to resupply and take care of a few things before heading back out again on my next expedition. I decided to take the scenic route, along U.S. 395…and thus traveled the entire length and breadth of Inyo County, marveling at its vastness and astonishingly diverse  (and scenic) topography. This is one of the world’s MOST EPIC drives — join me for a good old fashioned road trip!

  2. Complains about $6 gas and then sets the cruise control on 85mph in a jacked up box on wheels. You'll notice that the estimated driving range dropped by 9 miles in the first 5 miles of driving because of that. Used 101 miles of range up in the 69 mile span where the dashboard was shown. And I bet that the estimated range was itself based upon previous fast/wasteful driving.

    Using 3/8 of the 4Runner's tank to go 69 miles is crazy, especially with it being DOWNHILL to Death Valley, and through pretty thin air due to the high temperature. That implies a total actual range of 184 miles (versus the original display estimate of 313 miles, which is already pretty bad) on a 23 gallon tank, so exactly 8mpg. Pretty gross, even if oversize tires might give an odometer error making the actual distance farther and the mpg a few percent better. But that would also mean that the actual speed was even higher, too.

    Mechanical wear on a vehicle's engine/trans/drivetrain/tires is directly proportional to the amount of gas burned, and for some things, proportional to the square of the speed. She's lighting money on fire by not driving at a leisurely pace.

  4. good video. Nice contrast to the higher elevations and the valley. 74 degrees in your home is perfect. You and your sis have done very well improving that place, making it not only your own but much more comfortable.

  5. Button willow she says 😂😂😂
    The only good thing there is a taco shop at a lil store west of the 5 and believe it or not they have a nice road course race track there

  6. Great backing music selection, especially that humble-melancholy acoustic guitar instrumental. And the airy pedal steel. Representative of the glorious vastness of Inyo 🙂

  7. Really enjoyed this trip !! Thank you so much for taking us with you. I'm in Ireland and we have the worst weather in Europe. So good to see blues skies and people talking about heat. So jealous !!! Love the commentary and you always look fab. Can't wait to get on the road again, x

  8. I have watched 90% ( even videos way before you got your Toyota or moved to Death Valley )of your videos and l find it fascinating how you go in life representing the “inner you”, l can tell you have a 💕💕BIG BIG BIG HEART 💕💕💕the past that you talk about living in Vegas that wasn’t fulfilling,it was just something that crossed your path in search of a better connection with yourself . “Solitude is sometimes your best amiga”. I DIOS TE BENDIGA 🙏🏻(god bless you).

  9. It was great meeting you in Bridgeport! It’s refreshing when someone is as nice as you hoped they were! Happy travels! P.S., there is a laundromat in Mammoth by the Vons, more fun to hang out there for an hour or so than Bishop in the heat!

  10. I think you should try for more shorter videos like this one. Sometimes I see your videos which are 20+ min long and I hesitate to watch cause I don’t want to watch half a video and you not get credit for a view. I have been following you for years.

  11. 4 blocks, just 4 BLOCKS! That's how far my humble abode is from the laundromat you stopped at. You didn't call, you didn't write! You really know how to break an old man's heart! Well, keep up the safe travels. Maybe next trip through lovely Bishop.

  12. Another great video.
    I met a young man whose father was a Ranger in Death Valley. The school bus would take him daily to the High School at Shoshone. Said he was planning to attend a college in Minn. as I recall.
    Moving from the desert to a forested snow part of the country must have been quite a shock. Keep your interesting videos coming!
