- Опубліковано 29 чер 2024
- Buckle up and join me on an epic ride through Northern California's most jaw-dropping scenery. We're hitting the road on the world-famous Avenue of the Giants, cruising right through those massive Giant Redwoods on US Highway 101.
I kick things off in Garberville and then head north for 32 miles of pure natural beauty. Trust me, this Redwood Forest is something else - you gotta see it to believe it!
Along the way, we're making a pit stop at the Burlington Visitor Center. I'll take you on a little hike through the forest trails, and we'll check out the museum and storyboards. It's like stepping into another world, I'm telling you!
But wait, there's more! We're not done yet. I am pushing on to Eureka, California, where we'll hit up the Samoa peninsula and the super cool Samoa dune recreation area.
This trip is the real deal, folks - we're talking Giant Redwood Forest to the Pacific Ocean and California's Northern Coastline all in one go. It's a once-in-a-lifetime journey,
So sit back, relax, and let's hit the road together. From towering trees to crashing waves, we've got it all. Ready to join me on this adventure? Let's go!

This trip was so special to me since I was raised in the Ave of the Giants. My Dad was a timber faller when it was 1st Growth Redwood. I worked at the Pacific Lumber Co. when it was thriving. Both Lumber and Fishing aren't the same so a lot of us left for better jobs. The small community with the Eel River running thru it has turned to weed farms so we don't go back.
The visitors center at Burlington was mostly built by my cousin who was a historian but passed a few years ago. My parents are buried in Fortuna. Now at 84 yrs of age I won't go back but I can always pull up your video and think of home and happy times. Will never forget the smell of the redwoods.
Awesome!
❤ amazing awesome beautiful too cool for school thank you for sharing❤
You're right about "weed farms" the loss of fishing and lumbering has made it difficult for coastal communities.
this is as close as I`ll ever be to these places. I sincerely want to thank you for sharing your trips.
I live in Southern California and, of course, we have no giant redwoods down here. California io huge and has so much beauty to offer. Thank you, Russ, for all of your well filmed travels. I am older and love to travel through your eyes. Thanks again!
When I was a boy, redwoods started at Cloverdale and went all the way to Crescent city.
Thanks, Russ!
My favorite park in California
Mother Nature has done a great job over the millions of years of evolution🤔
YEA,RVerTV, Russ, Taking us all along today in an Epic road trip.Let The Journey Continue. 👍
I have an 80 foot coastal Redwood in my front yard here in Encino Los Angeles. Yay👍
You're so fun to travel with, Russ. I went through the Redwoods when we were little, so I'm excited to see them again. Thanks for packing us in your van, lol.
AWE. I FEEL LIKE I'M AT HOME AGAIN. GO TO SHELTER COVE IF YOU GET A CHACNCE
Thank you SO MUCH for taking us along on your fabulous summer adventure! YAY!
Always a Beautiful trip. Love watching your video. Be Safe.😅😅❤❤😂😂.
Humboldt!! 🌲👣😍
Waving a hand from Gold Beach. Now I have something worthwhile to watch tonight. Thanks Russ.
Utah, Nevada, California and now Oregon. As always will be hard to decide what will be my favorite video on this epic trip. On your walks didn't hear birds singing or other critters running around. Glad you explain what those green boxes were. Will enjoy the drive up the coast. Drive safe and keep up the great videos Russ. Thank You!
I love the avenue of the Giants have been there many times ahundred more and I still won't be tired of lt
yea what a nice treat for my Sunday.
Great video Russ!
I know there are a lot of things not to like about California, but on the other end of things you have places like this. The beauty is just absolutely stunning!
Thank You so much for letting us go along with you!
Safe Travels , Man!
Wow!I thought we had high gas prices.
❤ awesome amazing beautiful too cool for school thank you Russ❤
The unique thing about your arrival in Eureka is that you had clear blue skies. I worked them for six months one summer and the locals rated the summer by how many days they saw the sun.
Russ, your UA-cam Channel is great and so are you. The redwood trees are beautiful. I wish you safe travels, Russ. Talk soon, Alan.
Love your calm presentations
🤠👍 Hey Russ those Red woods were amazing ❤ thanks to the spectacular ride today!!
Gorgeous trees. I'm glad that they decided to save the redwoods and not develop the land. Magnificent ocean. Holy cow, California's gas is expensive!
Wow the trees at around 25 minutes and a bit after it are stunning make a framed picture of it looks like a painting awesome 😎
THANKS!
Thanks for the ride along, can't wait for the next one
Thumbs Up Instantly , Reggae on The River Country
Goooo brodher
Your cover photo on youtube, (the one with yellow text),..looked like a view master national park slide minus the 3d, beautiful. Remember those? One of my favorite toys growing up. That's where I learned about this place btw. Beautiful. Yup, the redwood forest sucks up sound but if you shout it sounds like you're in a cavern of some kind. Stayed at the visitor center campground once by showing up early and they found me a cancellation space. But with so many people, it may not be for everyone. Bathroom use and getting around isn't always easy. The campfire show was really good though. Another good one. Wish I was there but just can't afford the fuel for our rv out west anymore. So we'll travel here virtually for now. Cheers.!
That was a beautiful video. It's on my bucket list. Thanks for taking us along. Safe travels.
Nice video. It too brings back memories of the summer of 1975 when my parents and I were working our way home to Phoenix from Portland. The redwood forest looks much the same. LOL! However, I couldn't remember the visitor center. Then you showed us the photos. The visitor center didn't open until 1980, which explains why I don't recall seeing it in 1975. We also passed through Eureka. It was a much smaller town back then, but we didn't spend much time there as we were on our way to the Redwood Forest..
Tsunami Country ! 5 stars for this magnificent travelogue !!
Hey Russ, happy Sunday! Wow, you are up early at the beginning of this one, the sun hasn't made it over the ridge yet. Old growth redwood groves are magical places, the Avenue of The Giants is a really neat drive...and a super nice bike ride if you ever get the chance. As impressive as the trees in Humboldt State Park are, I think things get even better the further north you go.
The Travel Log RV is the real gem of the visitor center. Whenever people talk about "the first RV", I always point out the story of how Charles Kellogg drove it across country several times between 1917-1921 as a way to promote interest in saving the redwoods. In Samoa, I've always wanted to eat at the Cookhouse, but never got the chance. Oh well, maybe someday. Looking forward to riding up the coast with you in the next episodes...until then, happy trails!
i love your intro music makes me feel warm and cozy, been with you 5? years maybe more
Wow Russ those Redwoods were great! Thank you walking in that Giant forest! Wonderful! And thanks for taking us on the peninsula! The ocean was great! I love forward to Oregon too!❤️😀🇺🇸
When you cut down a redwood tree you get a whole ring of "daughters" that grow back. Amazing!
Those trees are so cool! It's still on my bucket list so thank you for the teaser! I'm travelling with you all the way! Safe travels Russ!
I might be an oddball but i love this place better outside of summer. I came once in late april and it was glorious. The rain, the fog, the gloom, it all added to the ambiance of the redwoods. It almost feels weird in the summer because its so dry
My commute was The Avenue and 101 every day B-E-A-U-T-FUL!!! I'll be watching this a few more times. The Reservations are amazing also. We lived in Wetchipec on the Res....SALMON ,SALMON AND MORE SALMON!!!!
Stunning old growth ~~. 💖
Magnificent giants and then to end with the Pacific Ocean , just a wonderful trip thanks so much .1 hour ago
Russ the redwood forest is the most beautiful forest I've ever seen. I never got the chance to visit the Sequoias so I thoroughly enjoyed your video! Thank you so much.
Thank you Russ these videos means so much to me I will soon be on the highway I got to see it for myself but until then safe travels and keep up the videos I certainly enjoy them thank you God bless
Thank you for bringing us along!!☆☆☆☆ What a treat! That travel log traiker was just amazing.. of my goodness.. that would be awesome to call in at any rv park! ☆☆☆ you bet! So cool!
Thanks again.. We really look forward to you videos ❤
Hope you go thru Florence Oregon, brother in law runs Best Western Motel there. Beautiful place❤
When I was a kid I camped in the Redwoods and Kings Canyon it was a great place to be. Thanks for the tour, Russ, and have fun.
Can hear Roy Rogers and Dale Evans singing that famous song ..
Thanks again for lovely outing!
Another peaceful walk among giants. 😊😊
When I was a little girl my aunt had a Viewmaster that took reels with pics of different places. We had two reels of pics of the redwoods including the one the road goes thru. My aunt never liked to go much of anywhere so I suspect those reels were her way of seeing the USA without having to leave home. Don't know if that little device is still available but for a kid with disabled parents it sure gave me a chance to see the country. Thank you for the memories and so much more as I have never been able to travel the way I'd like to.
My husband has been a subscriber for a while & now me too :) This video reminded us of a trip we did about 6 years ago heading up the same way and places you're going. We didn't get to check out places as much as we would have liked at the time as we had other plans. You inspired us to take another trip up there in a couple weeks to check out all we didn't get to last time.
That is awesome!
26 years ago maybe more ,oops🤦 my wife and I took our honeymoon drive in my semi tractor-trailer (53Ft) on that road. they don't let you do that anymore, but I did it great video Russ.😊 Approximately 32 story homes can be built from one gigantic Redwood tree
I'm so grateful you're doing this seeing the redwoods has always been on my bucket list but I don't think I'll ever get so see them but thanks to you I was able to soak up the atmosphere and get a feel of what it'd be like to walk amongst them :)
I laugh everytime you laugh at yourself 😂thanks again for great videos and narration of the areas you cover
USA is very beautiful ! Thanks for sharing. Red woods on my bucket list. Safe travels❤
I just love listening to you
This is just a great set of videos. Thanks for sharing these and I am really looking forward for more videos. Thanks again Russ for bringing us along.
It's pretty and all that but i like the great wide open were you can see the sky and stars at night. Thanks for the trip and Safe Travels.
What a beautiful trip again Russ, thank you for sharing!
GOD BLESS , UNITED STATES AMERICA , RUSS , RVerTV FANS. RUSS - TOO COOL 4 SCHOOL. CAN RUSS VISIT CANADA IN 2025. HAPPY TRAILS - U.S.A. - RUSS - RVerTV FANS. WE LOVE RVerTV - BEST TV ON UA-cam. Thank you Russ.😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
Good speed sir 😊
Absolutely awesome thank you
Love that place!
What a RIDE WITH A VIEW! We just love this video!
I drove through there and it was spectacular!!!
We'll be following in your footsteps! We're about a week or so behind you coming out of SoCal! Headed up the coast for the same reason - it's too hot anywhere else!! Safe travels!
This is so awesome
Incredible California I got the chance to stay 3 days in the Benbow hotel all Humboldt County its incredible
We have so many great memories of the Ave of the Giants. We also camped there so nice. It was years ago now.
We love your videos. We watch them regularly
26:40 ‘If a tree falls in the woods…..’ Similar to ‘If a man says something and a woman isn’t around to listen to him, is he still wrong?’ 😂😂😂
Beautiful state and you do a great job of taking us there. But six dollars a gallon for regular? Wow!
WE JUST LOVE THESS THREES
Love those trees. Excellent ride along. Thanks. 🙏👍
thanks for the memories , i rode my bike last year with some friends from garberville to the border and back . the redwoods were amazing on a bike, i was suprised how hard it was to find a donut shop on the coast. not those fuu fuu pastry shops !
Hey ..Hello ... big love from England, we love your chanel ,we watching ALL your videos ,keep going xxxxxx
Dig the early morning vibes👍😎
We used to drive up and down Highway (not the) 101 but it's been about 18 years since our last trip. You video has brought back nice memories. Too bad you missed Ferndale.
Russ, try Del Norte Coastal Redwoods state park sometime. The most beautiful campground you'll ever stay in. Crescent City CA. On your route. Drop in and take a peek.
I have driven that road several times. Thank you for sharing.
Learning that California gas, even in small California towns, is $5.99/gallon, according to a sign in your video. I might have expected that in a huge town with public transportation options, but I didn't expect that where people have to drive everywhere to meet their basic needs. Thank you for this recent trip. I am enjoying going with you!
Wait until you get to Jedediah Smith state park up North. They filmed Star Wars return of the Jedi there I Live about an hour and 35 minutes from there
Avenue of the giants is fantastic! We are doing hwy 395 to Yosemite from Oregon in August!
Yeah Russ, it was fast enough, even faster when I saw those gas prices! YIKES!
So jealous 😫. Keep it up man, when i am ... older i want to re watch everything.. because unfortunately it will not be this 😅
Loved this video! We were in this area in 2018. Trees of Mystery also has a "tree-top" gondola that we enjoyed. Klamath has the Drive-Thru Tree and the Prairie Creek Park Byway is the no brainer alternative to highway 101!
Amazing! We meet again. We may have passed each other on the 101. I went to Ft. Bragg for a couple of days, then visited the drive through tree in Leggett. I spent almost a week in Eureka visiting family. Remember me? We met in Saligman at the car show. I live in Mohave county. Love your channel.
Sad the Rivers' almost dried up....My Daughter was the very last one to be born in Garberville, school in Miranda . Lived in Shelter Cove.....We were able to watch the whales migrate twice a year in Whale Gulch...
I love it Russ, I'll be passing through here in September
Thank you sir. Beautiful.
Awesome tour of the redwoods! Russ, when you get to Oregon, checkout Winchester Bay. In 2007 we stayed in an Rv park on a peninsula.. the fish and chips were fresh and delicious! Br safe!
Way to go Russ YAY 😊
I Russ,we go There on 1986 on motorcycle from Québec Canada Nice to Sée that gain , iwatch all the vidéo 2024 trip Véry Nice 👍😊 Sée you .
Been 50 yrs since been in this neck of the woods (62). Live in Calif. but those Gas prices.....................Nobody on 101, surprising. No Fog, you got lucky as did the viewers, never made it to that island in Eureka, would have remembered that, did go to Trees of Mystery. Neat RV Park there. 1 massive fog bank sitting out there.
Thanks!
Thank you
Beautiful
Awesome..
Just don't know if I could afford to my truck with those fuel prices. 😮
Do beautiful!
