Chasing Wonderhussy Tecopa, CA and the Annual Inyo County Flea Market Fire Fighters Fundraiser

Chasing Wonderhussy Tecopa, CA and the Annual Inyo County Flea Market Fire Fighters Fundraiser
This week on The Vic Meier Show I am traveling from Idaho back to California and Chasing Wonderhussy along the way!
I’m lucky to have the advice of my good friend Wonderhussy and even luckier to have the wherewithal to listen to her! So, based on Wonderhussy’s advice I am going to take you to see the I.B. Perrine Bridge in Twin Falls, Idaho. This was the tallest bridge in the world when it was built in 1927. Named after the man generally credited with founding Twin Falls, ID, I. B. Perrine. This bridge attracts both sightseers and thrill seekers alike. It is a notorious Base Jumping location.
Very fittingly, this leads us to our next location, the site of Evel Knievel’s 1974 attempt to jump the Snake River Canyon on his steam powered “motorcycle” named the X2-Skycycle! This was less motorcycle and more rocket as Evel had to be lowered into his seat using a helicopter. Notoriously the jump failed due to his parachute deploying early, Evel was saved from drowning in the Snake River by fate and a gust of wind.
Just two miles or so from Evel Knievel’s famed misfortune or fortune (depending on your perspective) you will find, Shoshone Falls and the public park adjacent to the falls. Shoshone Falls is another site that Wonderhussy visited but was much more dramatic at the time with raging water everywhere. When I was there it was more of a behind the scenes view of Shoshone Falls. Beautiful, nonetheless!
But First!!! We get a chance to finally hang out with Wonderhussy and give her the Xmas gifts I’ve had for her since December! While I’m in Tecopa I get a chance to help out with the preparation for the Annual Flea Market and Fire Fighters Fundraiser in Tecopa, CA for the Inyo County Volunteer Fire Department. It’s there that we meet the Hussy Bunch, Lol…Wandering Jeepsy, Ross the One Legged Miner, Kadventures, Mike Z, and I guess me! Lol
