From a fellow motion sickness sufferer to another, get a ReliefBand. They’re pricey but if you get a rechargeable one, it will last years. I used it on the winding road along the Amalfi Coast, the twists and turns in the Dolomites, on boats, planes, etc. and it worked well. Love your videos! Keep traveling and enjoying this wonderful world we live in!
The $63.1 million was for the Hearst "Estate" (not castle) in Beverly Hills (not San Simeon). The estimated value of the Hearst Castle (today) is $5 billion.
If y’all didn’t know, raisins are from Cali and they do free tours at the Sunmaid raisin factory. It’s near Kingsburg, Ca. You get raisins to try as well. They are so good fresh. Also near there a few miles is the Land O Lakes dairy farm. They do free tours there too. It’s off the Hwy. 198 between Hanford and Visalia. Those are near Kingsburg all with in an hour of one another. That area is the Central Valley and is the farming capital of the world.
I just recently found ya'll's channel and I love your videos so much! You both put a wonderful effort into fun and entertaining videos with a dash of education! While you're out on the coast, if you haven't already, you should visit the Monarch Butterfly Grove! You're there in season and it's absolutely breathtaking to see so many monarchs! I can't wait for the next video! Be safe and have loads of fun. ☺
You should carry ginger chews when you're traveling. Ginger is awesome for motion sickness. I always have ginger chews in my van and as soon as I feel the slightest bit of nausea, I pop one in my mouth and within a minute of sucking on it, I feel way better.
Rather than being the passenger, try driving to eliminate motion sickness........my daughter is the same way..........as long as she is driving no problem. Good luck.
Glad you two could enjoy the coast here in California! That drive down Big Sur is one of my favorites. Natalie why aren't you taking dramamine for your car sickness?!
Another great video, so many memories brought back for me. There is so much to see but try to make the Thursday night farmers market in SLO town, you are so close. Regardless what you do you will have great scenery (Black stone beach in Cambria, Morro Rock, etc.). Also there are a number of Spanish Missions to see along the way for a change of pace. Thanks again.🌼🌻🏵
The van fits you two, safe travels. True story, when our family visited Hearst Castle we arrived early, visitors were gathering at the door, our family was a ways back when a groundskeeper approached us and said "watch this" and turned on the lawn sprinklers, sending all running for cover. Beautiful place. (1968)
Highway 1 is definitely not for folks who get car sick. Dramamine is a must. But it is gorgeous on a nice day. Many years ago I drove Highway 1 from Eureka, California to San Francisco. I was driving a pick up truck.
Hearts estate is. now own Patty, who also 80% of all news paper and untested in TV station. The next town you can Anderson split pea soup. Try it, you'll love it.
Looks like you guys are having a great time. My wife and I were in Morro Bay in Oct and drove to Monterey on our way out. Stopped at the same beach with all the seals. They said if you are there in Jan or Feb that you can watch the babies being born right in front of you. On our list of things to try and do.
Best time for elephant seals is January-march There are so many you can’t see the sand All the info is on the placards on the board walk, you’re just a little early… Wife and I stay at Washburn site 236 or 237 every thanksgiving
for those who get car sick like me there is a strip you can buy that hangs form the back of your vehicle just be hind the bumper. The theory is it pulls negative charge from the vehicle to the ground. It worked for me and many others I know. Try it it might work for you too.
How was the bus ride up to the castle and back down? Our bus driver was like 70 years old and a few times we thought he was going to send us off a cliff. Lol Enjoy being in Cali!
hello thankyou for all the awesome videos this year as a big huge fan of the channel i always wait each week for the next video and i would like to wish you and your family a merry xmas and a safe and happy new year take care
Natalie you remind me of my wife. She must sit in the front but anything over an hour she gets sick. What she does is a baggy of Cheerios or some crackers and start nibbling on them. Especially mountain driving. It helps much more but not a miracle
Don't skip an adventure just because you can't video there. Its totally OK to just give us a review and we will decide if we want to see it. I do enjoy watching your hikes because I can't go hiking.
Great video as usual!! My husband and I always look forward to your posts. We haven't been to see the Redwoods in years but it's such a magical place ❤️ So - are you including your apartment in that year of not paying for overnight campsites? 🤔
GUYz, My wife gets carsick. We found if she drives, she immediately feels OK. Some years ago I followed a young woman who began full timing from Texas. She was So impatient to get to San Francisco, she drove the Big Sur coast highway at night. !
Natalie get yourself some Bonine it is an over the counter motion sickness medicine you can buy at any drugstore. Take one the night before and the next morning before your van trips it should take care of your motion sickness. Bonine does not cause drowsiness it is wonderful!
Glad you guys got a chance to visit the Hearst Castle. I went there 50 years ago. It was owned by William Randolph Hearst as their families summer home. One of the Hearst daughters was kidnapped and held for a massive ransom. There is a massive backstory if you care to read about it. I love ❤️ the way you guys overcome obstacles and come up with alternatives. Great video.
I remember when P. Hearst was kidnapped I was 11. Wow it's funny hearing of an event that this generation most likely has no clue about... does that mean we're getting, dare I say... Old 🤣.
We did the Castle tour several years ago .. fantastic! Funny story; as we were touring one the larger rooms, the docent pointed at a huge tapestry and made a few comments about it one of the guests then asked , "where are the originals ?". The docent politely replied, "Madam, these are the originals . " You could hear a pin drop. Another great job, you kids.
Oh that’s so cool! We must’ve seen those same tapestries! Someone in our group also asked about them and the guide told us the Louvre in Paris had the copies and each one had a plaque underneath stating the originals were in San Simeon Hearst Castle. So cool!
I hadn't heard that the national parks were back to not allowing any filming. I guess I understand if you had lights and blocking people from an area or something but I feel like these days, everyone has a youtube channel even if they aren't trying to do it as major income. I hope you still do film for yourselves and have your own place to put the videos. Just kinda weird. Natalie, I am sure you have tried many things but they do make wrist bands and patches for behind the ears for motion sickness that work pretty well. The pills seem to take longer to work but if you knew you were going on a boat or something, they work ok. I also find that if I am the driver it isn't as bad. I love to be on boats and be in the air but I get sick too and it sucks. Hang in there..
Yeah our thoughts exactly! I wish they’d draw the line to allow personal groups to film like us. We have no equipment other than our camera so that’d make more sense to me! 😅 And thanks! The motion sickness definitely comes and goes depending on the day and this one was just particularly bad 🙃
The Northern California coast is so beautiful! Highway 1 around Big Sur affords some of the most beautiful scenery found anywhere. The redwoods are amazing.
Aww I hope you get the car sickness taken care of on the next curvy road. Hwy 1 is no joke. I don’t get car sick and can’t handle that drive either. ~A
You guys didn’t see Muir Woods just across from Stinson Beach? Fun fact: One of Clint Eastwood’s sons landed on McWay Falls beach (which is off limits to hikers) via the ocean. Even though there is an exorbitant fine for roadside camping in Big Sur there is little enforcement due to lack of manpower.
I have been there we took the afternoon tour, always was empresses with the interior. My wife and I always wanted to go back for the evening tour but never did.
I have a hard time with motion sickness and use wristbands with a small plastic bead in it that’s for pressure point on your wrist…it works for me on windy roads. Dramamine is also v effective! Monterey County/Pacific Grove is so incredibly beautiful. Many years ago, I was looking for somewhere our family could travel to and I found Monterey and Pacific Grove. We were going every year and staying and we decided to buy a home there. Big Sur is fantastic…there’s so much life and beauty there. I’m glad you were able to experience it. What a wonderful life!
I live in Sonoma county,about 40min from Stinson beach. It’s one of my favorite surf spots. After watching this, it makes me feel like I really take for granted just how lucky I am to live in such a beautiful region
I think your good I mean really what you paid for there is somewhere to park. Without hook ups I wouldn't really call it you paid to camp. Besides its only 20$. I have a question. Since your not on camp sites hardly at all how do you deal with your grey/black and how are you filling your freshwater? I have to be on campsite at least weekly for waste and water with my travato 59gl.
My daughter always got sea sick. I kept her in fresh air, fed her saltines and sips of coke. We are not soda lover but it did the trick. Camping in Calif. Safer to use campgrounds.
I visited Hearst Castle in the 1980s... but the best part was the bus driver that drove us up the windy road to the top where the castle is. On the way he said, "If all these twists and turns bother you, just close your eyes. That's what I do... "
My husband gets car sick if he isn’t driving. I do most of the driving on straight roads and he does it in the winding ones. Love Big Sur. Was there quite some time ago. I have a sister-in-law that lives in the Morro Bay Area which is also beautiful. Got to see the elephant seals also.
You guys should look into cost of maybe asking these places if you could film for a fee. If your channel is monetized I don't see huge issue as long as they aren't charging you massive amounts. Or if you don't want to do that maybe rolling some photos from their website at least.
I love to drive and twisty roads don't make me sick unless I'm a passenger. On my first roller coaster ride, I got motion sickness and wondered if it was because I was not in control, as I would be if I were driving. I rode again and held my right foot to the floor, pretending to be in control (with the gas pedal held to the floor) I did not get sick. Maybe you can try something like that - something to feel like you're in control.
BTW I am not sure how the NPS started that bs again it was a court case abd Kara And Nate too had issues over drones in the parks as well because one of their viewers a true POS KAREN turned them in.but in the end there was a clear delineation between a UA-camr and a group that brings in a real film crew
Hearst Castle is great. California State Park Campgrounds are some of the best in the country. I think you got charged $20 for a dry campground because it was near San Simeon. Usually a State Campground is pretty much running water and showers and fire pits and of course the 'picnic table.' (Have you run into bear boxes yet?) Keep going and as always Welcome to the Hwy 1.
The castle really was awesome! And you’re definitely right about the price! We were originally we’re going to stay at another campground but they were actually booked out for the days we were going to be there.
Road sickness. Caused by ears and eyes not getting same motion info. Have you tried wrist beads on acupuncture spots? Tried only looking at the road ahead and not looking to the side or reading? Tried driving to keep your eyes on the road? Tried sinus saline spray to open up sinuses? Motion sickness can only be prevented, not really treating it after it hits you.
What you said about feeling the need to be quiet in the redwoods is how I felt too….they are just so awesome…I always thought I was biased, being a native NorCalian, in that to me no other coastline in the US is more beautiful, but you just affirmed it in what you said about it being the most beautiful you’ve ever seen. I never get enough of seeing, whether in person, or by nice people like you sharing your visit.😊
I get car sick all the time but when I drive I am fine. Try driving on curvy roads I think it will help. Love you two Have fun Merry Christmas, and God Bless
Sleep all day and then wake up and start hitting each other...that's just the everyday life of a boy mom🤣🤣🤣 (mother of 4 boys - I'm thankful they're grown!!!)
The NPS only requires permit and fee if you record for commercial use (your you tube channel). For all the rest of us, we are free to take photos snd videos for our personal use.
At certain times of year, the entire beach will be cover with hundreds of elephant seals that make visiting the seal beach really worth a stop. I love the coast highway along the central coast of California I have visited several times including my honeymoon several years ago.
Hi Jimmy and Natalie what another great video love see them you guys are fun to watch enjoy watching them... you guys are cute always fun.. Natalie you always have a sweet smile 😃 enjoy your time together on the roads so much to see and do. Stay safe out there on the roads Take care. Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 ❤ ♥ Jimmy and Natalie 🎄🎄🎄💖💖💖☃️☃️☃️🤶🤶🤶🎅🎅
You mentioned Stinson beach ... pretty much raised there ❤️ Tall Redwoods...Muir Woods has an entire forest of very tall Redwoods , Samuel P Taylor State Park as well . Love Big Sur ..I apologize for this State and all it's regulations .drives us crazy..Hearst Castle ...very cool years ago ...no regulations. back then... I'm so happy that your taking your time heading south ... It's such a beautiful coast , I never get tired of seeing it .... happy for you ❤️❤️👍
We stay at San Simeon State Park up on Washburn where you were at least once a year if not twice a year. It’s only about an hour and a half from our house and we love it. The elephant seals that you are seeing this time of year or nothing in December January February there is not a piece of sand that does not have an elephant seal on it. And you can smell them they stink and are quite loud. We’ve also been to Hearst Castle several times. It’s really too bad Natalie that you get carsick because this is one of my most favorite drives.
San Simeon really is such a beautiful area! 😊 There was a ton of elephant seals when we were there so I’d be interested to see how they fit any more on that beach 😄
We have family in Santa Barbara and will be there from 12/29 - 1/3. Our motorhome will be in Earl Warren Showground, exit 100 off Rt. 101, Calle Real exit. Also 10 miles south of SB is Refugio State Beach, Rincon Parkway then Hobson Beach Park. They are all on old hwy 101 along the coast. Check it our, right on the ocean.
About the Redwoods. They are truly the survivors of the forests. Many of the redwoods you got a chance to see in person survived forest fires. That’s why look burnt 🥵 on the outside because they survived the forest fires.
Yes, they have evolved to withstand most fire events. Another interesting fact… they can capture moisture from the air and collect it on their needles, the water then builds up enough that it will then drip down on their roots. Effectively they are creating their own microclimate.
From a fellow motion sickness sufferer to another, get a ReliefBand. They’re pricey but if you get a rechargeable one, it will last years. I used it on the winding road along the Amalfi Coast, the twists and turns in the Dolomites, on boats, planes, etc. and it worked well. Love your videos! Keep traveling and enjoying this wonderful world we live in!
So sorry you felt car sick, but so glad you stopped to show us the views!!!! Thanks
The $63.1 million was for the Hearst "Estate" (not castle) in Beverly Hills (not San Simeon). The estimated value of the Hearst Castle (today) is $5 billion.
Next time you are in northern CA, look for Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park for some giant redwoods, beautiful small roads, and great camping.
If y’all didn’t know, raisins are from Cali and they do free tours at the Sunmaid raisin factory. It’s near Kingsburg, Ca. You get raisins to try as well. They are so good fresh.

You should try Sea-Band wristbands for motion sickness
You should carry ginger chews when you're traveling. Ginger is awesome for motion sickness. I always have ginger chews in my van and as soon as I feel the slightest bit of nausea, I pop one in my mouth and within a minute of sucking on it, I feel way better.
Rather than being the passenger, try driving to eliminate motion sickness........my daughter is the same way..........as long as she is driving no problem. Good luck.
Yes, let her drive.
I'm the same way and Dramamine can help if you take it early on best of luck!!
If I drive I don’t get sick either!!!!
I am that way as well got car sick as a kid, got glasses and it was not as bad
But to this day I do not like the back seat
You can feel the road rather than respond to the motion.
Glad you two could enjoy the coast here in California! That drive down Big Sur is one of my favorites.
Natalie why aren't you taking dramamine for your car sickness?!

That highway is beautiful to travel down. Yes it slow going and winds around the mountains and cliffs. I'm glad i saw it but won't do it again.
Love, Love Monterey & Carmel Are My Favorite Areas Of CA. Born & Raised In Sonoma CA So Those Areas Were Just A Few Hours From Us.❤ Be Safe Kids!
Hi guys another top video full of content and well informed video all the best and stay safe out there
Aw, thank you so much!! 💚
Highway 1 is definitely not for folks who get car sick. Dramamine is a must. But it is gorgeous on a nice day. Many years ago I drove Highway 1 from Eureka, California to San Francisco. I was driving a pick up truck.
The drive on Hwy 1 between Monterey and Big Sur is considered by most to be the most beautiful place on earth!
Must agree with you. Fantastic roads and very seanic. Thanks again for going the Extra mile and showing us. Wish I was there..
Hearts estate is. now own Patty, who also 80% of all news paper and untested in TV station. The next town you can Anderson split pea soup. Try it, you'll love it.
I feel your pain, I also get crazy car sick. That's why I do all the driving. Pacific coast is an amazing drive. We have to finish it some day.
Really enjoying youre vids. Thankyou.
Stop at any store to get wrist bands that stop motion sickness. Wife uses them and they work. Next alternative is to drive.
Last time I visited the castle was in the 70s.
Good , probably a safer move.
And honestly it was a fun experience to actually pay for camping again! (Much less stressful at least)
Looks like you guys are having a great time. My wife and I were in Morro Bay in Oct and drove to Monterey on our way out. Stopped at the same beach with all the seals. They said if you are there in Jan or Feb that you can watch the babies being born right in front of you. On our list of things to try and do.
Have to watch a 2nd time, o darn. I had really bad service earlier walking through the Missouri Artic Blizzard earlier.
Natalie, I get car sick on twisty roads too, even when I drive. It’s such a pest!
Really nice video. Lovely despite the restrictions. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Ive seen the castle before! Keep truckin!
Best time for elephant seals is January-march
There are so many you can’t see the sand
All the info is on the placards on the board walk, you’re just a little early…
Wife and I stay at Washburn site 236 or 237 every thanksgiving
Antihistamines prevent car sickness, but only the ones that make you drowsy. I get car sick too.
I really like your channel. You guys do a great job !!!
You all fun to watch keep it goin ✌😎
for those who get car sick like me there is a strip you can buy that hangs form the back of your vehicle just be hind the bumper. The theory is it pulls negative charge from the vehicle to the ground. It worked for me and many others I know. Try it it might work for you too.
How was the bus ride up to the castle and back down? Our bus driver was like 70 years old and a few times we thought he was going to send us off a cliff. Lol
Enjoy being in Cali!
My daughter used to get car sick. I would give her Bonine instead of Dramamine. It made her less drowsy:
hello thankyou for all the awesome videos this year as a big huge fan of the channel i always wait each week for the next video and i would like to wish you and your family a merry xmas and a safe and happy new year take care
Do you know some of the tricks for motion, sickness like ginger lozenges, motion, sickness, bands
I always get sick on boats until my aunt told me to go to CVS and buy some Dramamine....WORKS LIKE A CHARM.💖💖💖💖
Natalie you remind me of my wife. She must sit in the front but anything over an hour she gets sick. What she does is a baggy of Cheerios or some crackers and start nibbling on them. Especially mountain driving. It helps much more but not a miracle
Ah I’ll have to try that! 💚
reminds me of adventures with @Kara & Nate, Eamon & Bec... you guys are also cute. 🙂
Don't skip an adventure just because you can't video there. Its totally OK to just give us a review and we will decide if we want to see it. I do enjoy watching your hikes because I can't go hiking.
Great video as usual!! My husband and I always look forward to your posts.
We haven't been to see the Redwoods in years but it's such a magical place ❤️
So - are you including your apartment in that year of not paying for overnight campsites? 🤔
GUYz,
My wife gets carsick. We found if she drives, she immediately feels OK.
Some years ago I followed a young woman who began full timing from

If you want to see Big Redwoods, go to Sequoia National Park.
I agree. The Sequoia trees were more impressive to me.
I was there back in the 70s, it was an impressive experience.
Another neat video guys. Really like seeing all the places you visit. Keep up the great work and Merry Christmas!!!

Citizen Kane is a slightly-fictionalized version of Hearst's life (and also a really really cool movie).
If you pass by the castle again go in and ask for the Hearst Donut... Lol sorry
I've heard of seals do their roaring kinda thing, but never heard of them "Burping" at each other. Merry Christmas to you Jimmy & Natalie. Be safe.
Those were two mates necking. If they were fighting, you'd know it.
When the sign says “No buses” they are referring to Tourist Buses because too many have gotten stuck in tight turns and other places.
Good to see how they keep the ocean topped up ! Another lovely vid, well done you two x x
What you said about feeling the need to be quiet in the redwoods is how I felt too….they are just so awesome…I always thought I was biased, being a native NorCalian, in that to me no other coastline in the US is more beautiful, but you just affirmed it in what you said about it being the most beautiful you’ve ever seen. I never get enough of seeing, whether in person, or by nice people like you sharing your visit.😊
Beautiful beautiful scenery. You guys have fun and stay safe.
Correct me if im wrong, but i believe if you already paid for one state park you can use that same receipt to enter other state parks on the same day.
Holy cow i don’t believe that could happen… but it did. :-(
I'm glad you two got to go down hwy1 rather than 5 or 95. It's so much prettier.
I get car sick all the time but when I drive I am fine. Try driving on curvy roads I think it will help. Love you two Have fun Merry Christmas, and God Bless
they say if you smell rubbing alcohol you wont be car sick
It's fun traveling with you guys!
Sleep all day and then wake up and start hitting each other...that's just the everyday life of a boy mom🤣🤣🤣 (mother of 4 boys - I'm thankful they're grown!!!)
Drivers rarely get car sick. It’s always the passengers.
I truly feel your pain Natalie, I’ve had motion sickness my whole life. As I’m now much older it doesn’t take much to set me off. Stay safe out there
I love u guys. You are the most adorable couple. Thanks for sharing your lives with us.
The NPS only requires permit and fee if you record for commercial use (your you tube channel). For all the rest of us, we are free to take photos snd videos for our personal use.
At certain times of year, the entire beach will be cover with hundreds of elephant seals that make visiting the seal beach really worth a stop. I love the coast highway along the central coast of California I have visited several times including my honeymoon several years ago.
Merry Christmas to you both. I'm glad you are enjoying your time along the coast. Peppermint helps with car sickness.

We stay at San Simeon State Park up on Washburn where you were at least once a year if not twice a year. It’s only about an hour and a half from our house and we love it. The elephant seals that you are seeing this time of year or nothing in December January February there is not a piece of sand that does not have an elephant seal on it. And you can smell them they stink and are quite loud. We’ve also been to Hearst Castle several times. It’s really too bad Natalie that you get carsick because this is one of my most favorite drives.
San Simeon really is such a beautiful area! 😊 There was a ton of elephant seals when we were there so I’d be interested to see how they fit any more on that beach 😄
We were there last month. Definitely worth the tour.
Try prescription motion sickness patches
cool video, i loved it guys thank you.
We have family in Santa Barbara and will be there from 12/29 - 1/3. Our motorhome will be in Earl Warren Showground, exit 100 off Rt. 101, Calle Real exit. Also 10 miles south of SB is Refugio State Beach, Rincon Parkway then Hobson Beach Park. They are all on old hwy 101 along the coast. Check it our, right on the ocean.
Nice video!🎅🎄💝 Merry Christmas 💝🎄🎅
About the Redwoods. They are truly the survivors of the forests. Many of the redwoods you got a chance to see in person survived forest fires. That’s why look burnt 🥵 on the outside because they survived the forest fires.
Yes, they have evolved to withstand most fire events. Another interesting fact… they can capture moisture from the air and collect it on their needles, the water then builds up enough that it will then drip down on their roots. Effectively they are creating their own microclimate.
