    Scott, I’ve spoken to you once before, but I had to speak to you again today. I have a disease of the eyes called macular degeneration. I’m going blind. Watching your videos every week is the one thing I look forward Two every week more than I could ever explain. The beauty that you show me is beyond words. I think you from the very bottom of my heart.

      Love the town of Mendocino. My husband and I rode the Harley from so humb to Mendocino a few summers back. 100° in so humb to 50° in Mendocino.
      Been to Jenner, Cazadero, Guerneville, Petaluma. We drove his truck south on 1 is a heck of a drive. The south 1 scared me at Gualala so we turned around that time!
      Your videos are great Scott - I like the pull off and let them pass- same as I do.
      Wishing you Peace n Wellness.

I've only visited a handful of times when I have been to Fort Bragg to go diving. Wonderful area! January is great for the King Tides! I l9ve watching them! And the sounds! ❤

    Love the Mendo area, and have stayed at Van Damme more times than I can count. MacKerricher is nice, too. Highway 1 is best traveled going north-the locals travel faster than I do, and the lack of guard rails can be nerve wracking! I’ll be up that way next month, then on to Humboldt Redwoods and Del Norte redwoods parks-wonderful countryside! And so much greener than usual because of the record rains.

    Scott,I liked your video of this preserve and quaint town. I can tell that the river scales and walking trails really resonate with you. You have learned to shop creatively for cooking in your mobile dwelling. I gravitate toward small towns where people are cordial. Its kind of a storybook type town. Enjoy your trips to main streets of the north west. I agree the view are amazing. Take care of yourself and enjoy a cup of static van coffee.

    Your drive through the redwoods reminded me of one of my own. My family was in Santa Cruz on vacation at the time. My dad and I took a short drive to Felton to stop at CapriTaurus Dulcimers so I could buy one of their dulcimer kits. The kit came with a walnut body and spruce top, but when I got home a friend said he had some redwood with tight growth rings that would make a great top. So I ended up making a neat redwood dulcimer with walnut body, which reminds me of the drive through the redwoods.

I'm staying where internet/cell is almost nonexistent and finding anything at this little tiny Walmart requires incense and a prayer. Sure enough..there it was. Yellowbird!!! There's no going back, now. I'll forever be hunting for the Yellowbird.

    That was my favorite place on the entire coastline of California. I plan to revisit Mendocino in the late fall. I stayed on the Main Street next to the fence across the street from the hotel. I did all my grocery shopping at Mendosas...even bought hot coffee. Delicious coffee, too. I liked that beach, Van Damme, and actually sat on the large log in your video. The hikes through the Headlands was amazing. I had a skunk visit me one evening. Thank goodness I have solar lights mounted to my roof rack as I stepped to see what activated the two lights I saw the skunk just below my sliding door. Thanks for sharing this incredible vlog.

    New subscriber here, as well as my first comment!! Your videos are wonderful! I appreciate how you take us along with you for the day! From your breakfast, to your afternoon, until dinner or bedtime! Bar Harbor Maine is as beautiful as the scenery you showed us in this video. I hope you make it out to the East coast some day!! Like you, I love coffee!! I’ve been sticking to Maxwell House as I really like the flavor, but you have inspired me to try different coffee’s! Yesterday, I bought a bag of Arabica coffee. It’s in a blue bag, and says “ Kauai Coffee, coconut Carmel crunch” on the front label. ( got it from the local grocery store). Yes, it was good coffee, already ground. I’m going to get a coffee grinder and grind my own as I use it. I didn’t know what the difference was between a light and dark roast coffee. I just looked it up. Seems light roast is healthier, but possibly more acidic. I have stomach issues and can’t tolerate high acid levels. Hmmmmmm I’ll figure it out!! Your soft voice is very calming! I’ve been binge watching your videos at night while I’m getting ready for bed! Thank you for the wonderful videos!! ❤❤❤. Blessings to you!!

    Life is too short to drink stale coffee Mendo Man. 128 is a beautiful route to the coast and not as windy as 20. Been there many times, food in the Irish pub is good, at least it was some years ago.Enjoy the mendo vibe.😊
