We were only hoping he'd pronounce the name for us so we would know if we were even coming close to saying it properly and got SO much more! It was super cool of him to give us so much of his time. But we have found that most park rangers are that way...very generous and even chatty if you give them a chance! This is, seriously, one of our favorite spots in the whole world. Thank you for spending your time with us!

Yeah, I don't know how many times I corrected him...finally just put it on the screen 😅 Can't wait to go back and find more! Any tips?

It's always fun to find new places that are super cool!

I'm not a fan of tunnels but it was worth it! I hope you enjoy this whole series on the Grand Circle. Each NP is simply amazing!

Absolutely!! We seriously stack everywhere else against this place and nowhere has beat it yet!!

It's a great place to work!

It really is a jewel!

It's a tie for me between that and Cannery Row!

If you search Google for “Clay Jenkinson Travels with Charley,“ he is following Steinbeck‘s route.

Thank you! Obviously I love my work. I think people think the museum is all about his books and don't realize it's really about the man. It's a truly special place!

We just love them!!

Exactly! It would be more accurate if they called it the Monterey County Zoo instead!

Awww, Thank You! Glad you had fun hanging out with us. Can't wait to see where you go next! Our next up is the National Steinbeck Center. I have some behind the scenes stuff to share! Hope you guys are coming to Street Fair on the 21st! So much new stuff is opening there in the next few weeks!

They are SO good, right?! Thanks for hanging with us!

How cool! I never knew!

We were members for several years. Unfortunately the rates raised WAY over what we can comfortably pay. Still, being a local means at least one free admission per year!

It's fairly easy to get around them and they will usually flop back into the water but you wouldn't want to get aggressive with them. They weigh over 600lbs and it's mostly muscle. We were not terribly disappointed to have to go twice! LOL!

@@travelingcatphotos Thanks for answering my question. I definitely wouldn’t mind going twice!

The big cats are definitely a draw here. We'd like to go back for Crunch Time or to stay at the B&B in the future as a treat!

We were so happily surprised. We really love the way that they made it so interactive with the QR codes!

The kids would LOVE it! The QR thing is a bit dodgy because of the internet out on River Road but if you just take photos of the signs you can still look them up later. Thanks for hanging with us!

LOVE this comment! I'm really into trains so I learned a LOT there but we know that not everyone is as geeky as I am about them so our goal was just to draw attention and try to show how beautiful it is so that the train fans would go and see them! We really loved this place and think the ticket price is totally worth it! I didn't know about the Moonlight Dinner Train! GOTTA do that one! Thank you SO much for all of this information! It's Awesome!

@@travelingcatphotos since you love trains, be sure to visit the Sacramento museum, and James Railroad. Both excellent in our state.

Thank you! We are always looking for new places to see in Beloved locations. The Vanillarie was a great find! Hope you get to visit it on your next trip. Do you have a tip for us? Thanks for hanging out with us!

@@travelingcatphotosit looks like you stayed at the Kona Reef. That’s where we always stay as it’s a perfect location and has a nice pool and it just feels like home ther so I recommend it. We like day trips to the East side and always make sure now to have a full tank of gas going on the Saddle Road as there is no service along the way. One time we were praying we would have just enough gas to coast into Hilo which we did.

Hope you get the chance to watch the whole Hawaii series. There's just so much to see and do there!

We did not...please tell us more!!

They are both kid and dog friendly! There were plenty of non-alcoholic options as well!

That makes us very happy! We make these films for all of you guys out there who enjoy them! Thanks for supporting us!

I love "modes of transportation" but am especially fond of trains. We had learned about Narrow Gage Railways at our local train museum in Salinas so it was fun to actually go ride one and learn a bit more about them. I've ridden the trains in Italy and in the UK...any you think we should make sure to ride on our next visit? Thanks for hanging out with us!

You hit on our 2 favorites!! Love them!

I'm not sure if I've ever had the Caramel Apple before! Yum!

Their Pina colada is pretty good too!

Harry's pretty fond of those too!

That's mine too!!

These trees fascinate me! We were just introduced to Ponderosa Pines up in Washington...I love their bark! SO much to learn about them. Thanks for hanging out with us!

Thanks for hanging out with us and your kind words! We are really enjoying the process of learning more about a place as we visit and it was fun and surprising to do the same about our own town! Hope you stop by and hang out with us again!

It's always fun playing tourist in your own town but really fun when you learn something new about it!

We were SO surprised that it was so much fun!

Ghirardelli is a fun shop to visit while on the Row!

Oooo, we LOVE Waikoloa Village! Glad we could bring a bit of our home to Hawaii and your home!

Thanks for joining us! It's fun to play Tourist in your own town!

We had a 9am reservation on a weekday so we got in line around 8:30. It still took us about an hour in line to get in!

Thanks! Would you say there’s a lot to see for people who can’t/don’t want to hike? It’s going to be too hot & I’ll have my 2 year old with me so hoping we can see a decent amount of stuff from the road or a short walk to a view point. We were only able to snag a 10 am spot.

@@sondraxcore Absolutely! It is SO visually stunning and you can even see the Arches right from the road. In fact you can see all of the arches in the Windows section from the parking lot. It's super crowded so I'd make that my first stop should we go again! Just remember that while they do have restrooms along the way, they don't have water along the way. Pack your lunch and drinks in a cooler before you go and you'll be ok.

I grew up down there but haven't been to the Park since I was 8! We went for Harry's 60th last year and decided we loved it and wanted to return for this festival! Such a good move too! Yummy!

We wouldn't turn it down if they offered! LOL! We really love this theme park and even tho' it was very crowded the food was VERY good! Worth the trip!

When we visited for Harry's 60th we saw a flyer for the Food Fest and decided we wanted more of Knotts and definitely more berries! So much fun, even for those like me who don't do rollercoasters!

Great tips!! We are Definitely coming back for the Beach Train! It really was such a good day there!

We’re planning a trip right now to go there soon from Fresno. I’ve always thought panning for gold could be fun to try. Is there any chance we’ll actually find some? Is it real or is it staged so everyone finds a little? I mean is it in a river or is it in a tank and it’s just to show people how it’s done? Either way could be fun. I’m just curious what to expect. Thanks!

@@travelingcatphotoswould you say there’s enough to do there to make it worth visiting even if you don’t plan to ride the train?

We didn't pan for the gold but, from what I hear, there's always a chance you will find a little! As for going without riding the train? If you take advantage of the trails then yes. The state park right next door is gorgeous and lots of other things like the arts and craft station at the Camp would still make it worth the parking fee!

@@travelingcatphotos thank you for the response. Is the state park included in the entry to Roaring Camp or would we need to pay for both?

RIGHT?! We had no idea how good the food would be! And it's a LOT of food per serving too...easy to share!

We loved everything we ate and we definitely didn't need two cards...sharing everything really worked!

Possibly if you are parked inside. We've seen people on their bikes inside but not going to or coming from the 50 Acre lot. I'd say that if they allow it for other events there, then it's just a matter of time before it's OK at NASCAR.

@@travelingcatphotos i dont think they allow it specifically at nascar is because there's too many people its such a big event. i've almost crashed into a few people on my e-scooter and the events i go to aren't anywhere as close to packed as nascar. i can imagine how crazy it would be if there were a thousand people on motorized vehicles

One of the reasons we started this Channel was for those who, for whatever reason, couldn't get out and travel, so that they could armchair travel with us! Thank you for sharing this with us! Made our week!

With Yellowstone and Grand Teton side by side it's impossible not to be in total Awe all of the time!

We are growing at a great pace and building a genuine community. We have a great marketing team but thank you.

It really did help confirm that this is what we want (a 5th Wheel) and that we definitely have our preferences! LOL!
