Death Valley Life #43: Looking For the Christmas Spirit in Pahrump

Christmas is coming, but because I live in the desert, it's kinda hard to tell -- no snow, no leaves to change color, no decorations. So I head into the quirky nearby town of Pahrump, Nevada to see if I can find the Christmas spirit.

    Thank you for doing this, I listened to Art Bell for many years and can't hear the word "Pahrump" without instantly thinking of him.
  • Art Bells broadcast was the BEST of all time!!.... HE alone was the GOAT of anything weird and he NEVER condescended any of his callers! He was a kind man!!
  • @TXRBL
    Merriest of Christmas’ to you Sarah! To your sister and mother too. God bless you in 2024. As a disabled Marine who can hardly walk I live vicariously through your adventures. Thank you!
  • @tn_bayouwulf2949
    The Christmas spirit is what lies with your heart and not in a neighbor's lawn decorations.  Merry Christmas to you, your sis and your mom. Thank you for taking us along on your adventures.
  • @rev.scruffy2249
    When I hear Pahrump I always think Art Bell and the Kingdom of Nye. Merry Christmas
  • Thank you for visiting the cemetery. I just visited my husband's grave who passed in may this year. I never thought of visiting the cemetery until my husband passed. This is a tough year but you make it me feel calm and not so sad for at least 30 minutes. Have a good holiday with your family. ❤
  • @okiekarma2944
    SO happy to see Art Bell' grave!! Thank you for going by. I listen to his shows still. You're THE BEST WONDERHUSSY!!!! 🎄🎄
  • @richwhitaker1506
    🎅 HO HO HO MERRY CHRISTMAS, Wonderhussy! Always fun to see the sights with you. Have a wonderful visit with your family. 🎄🌠😎

    The South end of town has more people decorating with lights. Art Bell lived pretty close to the brothels. He was an avid amature radio operator, so look for radio towers on the West side of Homestead Rd. I don't believe the radio towers were used for his show. His show was nation wide, so it would take many different locations to broadcast from.

    It's funny but I had a feeling many of your viewers would be Art Bell listeners as well. Thank you for visiting and taking us along. Merry Christmas Wonderhussy!

    Merry CHRISTmas WonderHussy..! I had my morning Java and watched your video. I lived in Pahrump for a while. I once left an item at Art Bell's grave a couple years ago. Thanks to you, I see it is still there to this day! I still use the phrase Art used "Where things go Pahrump in the night" (I think his wife came up with that) whenever someone mentions Pahrump, Nv. Thanks for doing what you do, and I wish you a very good and Happy 2024. And Merry Christmas to all Wonderhussy fans worldwide!
  • @hburke575
    So exciting to have your mom out for Christmas. I'm sure she will cook you something great. Have a wonderful Christmas.
  • One place not visited, but a tribute to Art's cat, there's a wing of the animal shelter named after an injured feral cat that he talked about on his show.
  • @devjaxvid
    Merry Christmas to your and your Family! Thanks for visiting Art. He was a well loved and respected by many. “Broadcasting from the High Desert in the Kingdom of Nye..” fond memories for sure.
  • @mikeboone4425

  • @clfhnt

  • @linneysalas1937
