Central Valley resident here: I was saddened to hear the part about calling our area ‘depressing’ and ‘uninspiring’. It’s a beautiful region, and is just as special to California as the coast and the mountain ranges.
Came here to make the same comment. Don’t talk about the area that literally feeds America and then call it depressing. Starvation is depressing. The valley is beautiful for what it does the country.
Dave’s Bread - The story is true and a friend of mine knows his family. Awesome story, love seeing someone take advantage of opportunity after falling down.
North Bloomfield is beautiful , such a quaint town with Literally Rich History ,It just brought good goosebumps to my body , What wonderful hidden Gems that I as a Californian native did not knew existed I would love to just build a small home in that town and live there forever. Great footage , Loved this .
WoW! That was my first thought as well! The way she looks at him was like she so adores him! Damn lucky guy! Also, a correction is needed on his comment about media. It’s not just mainstream media that’s just opinion based, its pretty much ALL media.
Love it, I grew up in the Sweetland diggins,population 35. The town had a population of 300 during the gold rush ,but had only 35 people and dirt roads when I was there. The water cannons created islands of land that could not be reached by birds. The ponds left were excellent fishing. You have brought back some great memories, thank you.
Hi guys! I live in that area! I agree Northern California is very unique and beautiful ❤ I have traveled the world too however I have always loved coming back home!❤ It's kind of surreal to see it through your eyes! CHEERS 😊❤
Peter, I would love to hear Natalia's observations of our great country if she so inclined to participate. Getting an outsider's point of view is the identical of hearing your views while abroad. Really refreshing!
I am so sentimental for that area. I've traveled up and down the CA coast a few times and it is so meaningful today. Nothing compares to the beauty. These videos make me hope to return again someday :)
Been in California all my life. Mostly around Los Angeles but also up north and central. In my 43 years on this earth, what I've learned, is people in the city are miserable by comparison to people in rural areas. It's like night and day going from Riverside County to Humboldt County, really jolts your brain at first when random strangers on the street smile and say hello to you after spending too much time in the city.
Peter, it was so cool to see you in my area. Thank you so much for doing this video. I am a pest control technician. And I have been all over this area. My whole life of 54 years, the town of Washington, that was so cool. I used to make runs down there. I had 2 accounts. I had the service that was very cool and then he went over to Fort Bragg. It was very cool to meet your wife on here. Love your channel buddy
Another great video. When I think of California, It's usually big city like LA. It's nice to get a glimpse of the small towns! Thanks for taking me along.
Don’t know how you find these places but keep it up. Very cool to see this abandoned gold rush town. Looking forward to more unique and amazing content on this channel 🙌💯🌿🇺🇸
i dont mean to be so offtopic but does anybody know a tool to log back into an instagram account? I was stupid forgot the login password. I love any help you can offer me.
@Kamari Terrell i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im trying it out now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I was born and raised in Merced County Central Valley California. There is not as much stuff to see as in the Bay Area or many other places in the state of California, but the people in the Central Valley are significantly better people than those in the Bay Area or in the LA area. People in the Central Valley are much more down-to-earth, and would be more willing to help you out if you were in need then most in the Bay Area or LA area.
I truly like this series Peter. Great nature and you should be paid well for this videos. I've been in US a few times but only at the east coast. Thanks for showing me California I didn't know exist 👍
Born and raised in NorCal and I’ve been to every county in my state … thank you for this , very glad I found your channel! Have many good memories stored in Gualala… and Tahoe lol
Thank you for doing these videos and all of the work you’re putting in. I’m grateful I found your channel and that you’re doing this . I also adore your beautiful wife’s innocence in coming to this country and experiencing all of the adventures that are our beautiful land. Be safe, happy travels my brother.
15:50 Coastline looks exactly like somewhere in Canary Islands, Spain. Fuerteventura and Lanzarote are good examples. (you can google if you never visited)
@@PeterSantenello La Palma is fantastic island. Caldera de Taburiente is awesome place to hike. Also La Gomera is nice. I think that El Hierro is also cool vulcanic place
I love that you are doing videos on northern California! You should do one sometime exploring Point Reyes National Seashore (and/or the surrounding tiny towns) from north to south!
I used to live above that Mining Operation. I lived in Pike and went to school in Allegheny. That's if it's the one above Grass Valley & Nevada City. I never went into that town though.
Mr Peter, please keep doing what you’re doing these videos are amazing, I can’t find anything like them on UA-cam. You do a great job of explaining history, culture , land whatever it may be. I feel these videos are very educational (hence the quality of the video/picture). Absolutely love the content I can not get enough. I’ll end up watching all of your videos lol. Good stuff thumbs up from me 👍🏻. You really show what you can’t find on the news or anywhere else. Maybe you’ll end up on the history channel one day or something.
What people don't realize is that North Carolina had the first gold rush and had the most gold found. CA had the most media present there so it was thought that CA had the most gold! Randolph County, NC, down to Stanley County, still has more gold underground to be taken than the total that has been mined in America (according to the USGS). The largest gold nugget in America was found in North Carolina also.
Central Valley gets CRAZY HOT. I was backpacking in Sequoia a few weeks ago, day time 55, overnight 25 degrees. Drive down 2 hours into Central Valley...97 degrees in late April.
Love you peter, you are really very down to earth & nice person.i have seen your all videos. Love you brother. Best Regards, Tauqeer khan Lahore, Pakistan
@@magiccarpet1441 dear its not complex its about the hospitality & respect for our great country. For your information i visited more than 35 countries as well might be you never visited 35 cities so far.
I took acid and hiked around Malakoff Diggins park with a buddy one day. The erosion made it feel like a Dali painting as we progressed because when we started, the chest high wooden trail markers were sticking out well above the ground, and by the end, the eroded sand/gravel was almost covering the trail markers up lol. Really miss the time in my life when I was out there. That whole area you're exploring is amazing.
Diversity of nature in US is awesome. Been there once, hope to visit again some day. Thanks for sharing the superb series of yours. Greetings from Finland.
didn't even stop in my hometown (Boonville) before you headed over the mountain to the coast! There is some interesting stuff there for sure! You could have learning about Boontling, a language that young people develpoed in Anderson Valley during the late 1800's and early 1900's!
So glad to have come across this video! This is my homeland - San Francisco Bay Area. I've been living abroad, too - in Austria - for almost 25 years now. Everything in the video was so familiar and made me homesick for the gorgeous countryside I've been missing for so long.
Grew up in that Nevada city, Grass Valley area of CA. Lots of fun history. If you make your way back be sure to check out the Empire Mine and the gold discovery area of Coloma.
Nice one peter, u doing good job here showing us beautiful countrysides of America but hope u will go in CA city downtown and will show us dark and dangerous sides too ! Like u did in other countries..
i ve watched mostly newer eps. This was the first time I really thought about a place (northern cali) and searched for one of Peter's eps. WOWWW!!! eps 1 AND 2??!! amazing. The Dave's Killer Bread observation was nicely done. What quality content! Not as good as Jack Doherty's totaled McLaren today, but... this is up there...😄😂😂😂😂
The Central Valley has sublime beauty in areas, it just pales in comparison to spectacular scenery of the Sierra Nevada mountains and the Pacific Coast?
Beautiful wife , beautiful life. Ukraine it is!!! I’m new to your channel and you gained a new subscriber. Thank you for your videos. It’s like I’m traveling as well. Nicely done.
I live in Fresno California. I wish you would have talked about our fruits and nuts that we send out to the world. We have some great things happening in the Central Valley also. And we are close to the mountains and the coast so we have some easy vacations.
I use to feel like the Central Valley was an armpit but I’ve grown to love it now. I’m in the foothills 30 minutes southeast of Nevada City and fuck yeah, Screw the Government! Born and raised NorCal boy!
What a surprise seeing that town again. North Bloomfield let my class back in elementary school basically live in the town for a day as a historical experience. Got to shop in the pharmacy, pound iron in the smithy, drink (root) beer at the bar... was a very memorable experience and beautiful moment of learning history as a kid with the park of Malakoff Diggins surrounding the area.
I lived all through California Northern California Southern California I was born in Glendale I moved to St Louis Missouri where I live now from Southern California when I was 34 I am now 70 LA and towns like that San Fernando Valley so crowded sure is cool seeing you and your wife kicking around out there I dig it
Hey Peter when first started introducing this town I thought you were taking us to an abandoned town from a set from a horror movie! No! What a beautiful gem there! Heaven on earth.😀👍
As a former Point Arena resident, I was shocked to see you drove over Mountain View Rd- definitely not a heavily traveled road, so many curves! Also, not that anyone cares, but the downtown you labeled Gualala is actually downtown Point Arena.
You're doing nice videos! There is and awesome nature in that are. and thanks for sharing video about Mariupol. Totally agree with your words. Hello from Mariupol :)
San Quentin and Folsom prison were built because of the violence during the Gold Rush San Quentin Prison used to be a ship that held about 100 prisoner's then that easily got overcrowded then they built the actual Prison and Folsom
Might i suggest you take a trip through the Delta region of California? It is home to some of the most beautiful riverways and wildlife that you will ever see. And had it not been for the delta and its riverboats connecting San Francisco to Sacramento the gold rush would not have been possible. Greetings from Auburn Ca BTW.
Central Valley resident here: I was saddened to hear the part about calling our area ‘depressing’ and ‘uninspiring’. It’s a beautiful region, and is just as special to California as the coast and the mountain ranges.
Agreed. Bet he didn't stop in Yuba City for some of the best Indian food in the state!
Yep I'm from Grass Valley and I think the valley is amazing! I especially love the water foul preserves.
Everyone has their opinion. Just like how "Snake" doesn't like the ocean.
Love these videos on remote areas of beautiful California!

Gotta say bro, I love the way she looks at you. Literlly warms my heart. She really loves, trust, and find security in you. You guys are great !
It's called femininity. You find that easily outside the USA.
WoW! That was my first thought as well! The way she looks at him was like she so adores him! Damn lucky guy!
Also, a correction is needed on his comment about media. It’s not just mainstream media that’s just opinion based, its pretty much ALL media.
I totally agree and she is super beautiful!
It’s also a non American thing. Americans are very disconnected and have forgotten often times to look into the eyes of who they’re talking to.
She looks at him with so much pride. ❤❤❤
..for some reason I like your USA series more. Maybe it’s because of the pride of your country showing through your comments. Keep it up!

@@PeterSantenello well now since shes Mrs Santenello it's time to jump on board!!
I can imagine is she visited "our great country" now, e.g. downtown of NYC or LA -looters, robbery, killing..
Peter looks like the kind of guy that murders his wife and doesnt get away with it...

Great vid Pete, love your honesty and modesty. Very rare that foreigners see a true representation of the US.
Thanks Bro!
There's a lot of stories and places that the USA can offer to the world as well. I love this episode.
I love this observation. California has become a home for me and my family. In this month it's 8 years since we live in America, in California.
Peter, it was so cool to see you in my area. Thank you so much for doing this video. I am a pest control technician. And I have been all over this area.

Awesome to see you so close to my home in Humboldt County. I've really enjoyed watching your travels. Thanks
Loving the cali tour man. Awesome...
Thanks

Highway 20 from Nevada City to the coast is epic..the ghost town is North Bloomfield AKA Humbug Ca
Wow this is very beautiful. Thanks alot for showing nice scenes and explaining historical facts. Keep going
Great video man and an awesome perspective! I'm from NorCal too and you do it justice.
It's beautiful in the valley this time of year. Blooming fruit and almond trees for miles. Yellow mustard growing wild. It's NOT ugly at all!
I was anxiously waiting for this USA series. No other youtuber i've observed has gone deep in this jungle of California.
