Great vlog! Best weather is generally September through early November and late April through May. Summer is foggy and winter usually (and hopefully) rainy. San Francisco has changed dramatically in my lifetime and is now a place of extreme wealth with pockets of poverty. It used to be basically a middle class city. Although now retired to Palm Springs, I am a native who has walked the streets for over 50 years. The homelessness has been a problem since the Reagan years when the state mental hospitals were closed and has only gotten worse with the rising prices of rents that make it impossible to find cheap housing anywhere which is further exacerbated by the rise of the drug culture. The Tenderloin has been a neighborhood to avoid for as long as I can remember. As in any city, if one is careful there are many fantastic things to see and experience so don't listen to news casters. I similarly was told to avoid Rio de Janeiro and am so happy I visited. I was careful and had a fantastic experience. Love your wonderful family and looking forward to future travels. Stay safe, treasure these memories that will last a lifetime and again thanks so much for taking us along. As a native Californian I do have to tell you that I love Maine.
9:01 how could you not love her cute little giggle when you called her your honey! Love that!!! She definitely deserved to hear that. Great family and awesome location.
There are tons of very unique stuff to explore in San Francisco if you have the time. Artwork, stairs, houses (the Victorian Ladies), ethnic neighborhoods, and Golden Gate Park itself. But, as we Northern Californians know, "The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco.", Mark Twain,.
When Allison and I moved to Seattle from LA 11 years ago, we were not willing to let the dogs fly, so we rented an RV from CruiseAmerica and drove up the Pacific Coast Highway. When we drove the RV over the bridge, the two of us were both choked up and crying as we drove over the bridge. Two crazy people who grew up 11000 miles away in South Africa driving an RV over the Golden Gate Bridge! Who woulda thunk it?! We still talk about it as one of our all-time bucket-list trips!
So glad you guys have had the chance to make that trip and see the coast! Driving across the bridge was amazing! Can't wait to share that in the next video! You both grew up in South Africa? Sounds like a great story that we hope to be able to hear SOMEDAY! 👍
This is Doug. I had to go back to another viewers comments that you replied to, in order to respond back to you. The new camera that you were using in San Francisco, which one was it? I have been shooting photography since 1970. Cory, do you have a photography website for your pictures and videos? I look forward to hearing from you.
Hi Y'all, Thank you for helping me relive some great memories. Golden Gate Park had a Cross-Section of the Cables used in the bridge, up close, they look massive Cory! There were also signs that said "Don't Eat the Squirrels" - I kid you not. We actually camped in a City block-sized "campground" in town next to the Freeway. I think progress got that one... I was amazed when you showed the Fisherman's Wharf sign and didn't stop to eat - What?! Thank you with all my heart for the sacrifices of You and all our amazing Veterans and your families. Your girls are becoming young ladies right before our eyes!
Having grown up 70 miles or so north of SF in Bodega Bay, rust is a constant. The fog is straight off the ocean surface carrying that salt with it. For future visits bring a sander, cordless if you can, and Krylon spray paint. The Krylon holds tough against the rust. Use heavy grit sandpaper so the Krylon has a better grip and you're good to go. Also, for future plans, mid-summer through late fall is the worst time as the fog is ever-present during those times. And remember, Mark Twain once said "The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco." Have fun!
"Full House" and "Rice-A-Roni, the San Francisco Treat" images were going through our minds....lol. Thank you for your service! Thank you for mentioning the other veterans!
Fantastic video! The plants all up and down the coast of California is called " Ice Plant'. It is great ground cover, so prevents erosion. It can handle heat & cold. Doesn't need watering as it gathers moisture from the fog and sea spray. The salt doesn't effect it. Yes your right, San Francisco is such a unique place. Such an interesting history & culture. Can you imagine living on Lombardy Street. Alcatraz is an amazing place to visit. You need to come back to ride the cable cars and go to the cable car museum. Too many amazing places to see in San Francisco. You will have to come back...
Really love you guys. So many other RV You Tubers are always just hawking products or doing "fix it" videos. I love just traveling with you. Seeing where you're camping, cafes, beautiful scenery. Thanks. . . Love you
Such a cool vlog Golden Gate Bridge was awesome. Love my movies just a few I can think of, Mrs Doubtfire, Wedding Planner, Sister Act Obviously Planet of the Apes so many. Fantastic vlog guys those views spectacular. Take care have a great week.❤❤🤗🤗🇬🇧
Love SF and the bridge. On you way up north look up all the movies they made in Point Arena, Mendocino and Ft Bragg.. I think those plants you like are called Erigeron. Besides all the TGIF show of the 80s, The Streets of San Fransico staring Micheal Douglas in the 70's,
THE HOT PINK FLOWERS ARE CALLED ICE PLANT! PRETTY COOL! WE LOVE THEM AND HAVE THEM ALL AROUND OUR YARD HERE IN THE FOUR CORNERS AREA OF NEW MEXICO! LOVE YOUR CHANNEL AND YOUR WONDERFUL FAMILY, HAPPY TRAVELS TO YOU!
Too bad about the street cars. We visited SF early October and they were working then. And, yes, our gps took us thru the Tenderloin district. There were police on every corner.
Thank you for your service, I was in the Air Force stationed out west in Las Vegas years ago. I am so glad you are showing your family how we were prepared in protecting their future. Have fun and be safe guys. Love and appreciate the videos.
Thank you for thanking our service men and women who have defended us and also to the many families whose husbands and wives and son's and daughter's who have given their lives.
Thanks for sharing your wonderful experiences in San Francisco! Very iconic views that would be special to see in person! Be safe and catch ya on the next one! Cory the new camera is Rad! Can't wait to see the combo of it and the new drone!!!✋👍🤙
Thanks for the wonderful tour of one of America’s treasures! In spite of its shortcomings you managed a wonderful and positive tour. I really enjoy your family! A true fan!!
Our first duty station was Oak Knoll Naval Hospital In Oakland. Lived at the Oakland Army Base at the bottom of the Oakland Bay Bridge. SF was awesome. Sadly the hospital is gone and housing at OARB is shut down.
SF looks like that often, there is an old quote from someone I've forgotten "The coldest winter I ever experienced was summer in San Francisco!" Sometimes it's true. The ground cover flowers are called Iceplant, it's a succulent.
I’ve never been so cold than when I visited San Fran in the summer. My sister lives there and for some reason loves it. Another great video and thanks for sharing.
It was definitely not warm while we were there but the fog definitely added the atmosphere of the place! Glad you liked it! Thanks so much for watching!
Thanks for the military shout out! My dad signed into the US Navy in his hometown of SAN FRANCISCO ❤️ My ancestors family members worked on the GOLDEN GATE Bridge. (The “I thought it would be taller” was priceless!) I believe it was Mark Twain who said: “The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco.” After he retired from the Navy, we settled back in the “Bay Area”! I worked in the “city”, all our family live/lived there. My dear cousin was SGT in the SFPD , was killed in the line of duty on Van Ness st. Lastly, I met my Navy ‘‘honey’ in Alameda (across the bay from SF) and continued the Navy adventure! Sorry you missed Coit Tower! It looks like a Fire Hose and is dedicated to firemen. You did well though on a lot of highlights ! PS… Thanks for your military service!
Thank you! That is an amazing history, thank you for sharing , and go Navy 💪🇺🇸⚓️😃 there was so much shut down while we were there unfortunately. So sorry to read about your cousin…
I was going to post a picture, but I do not think I can. I have a hitch ball cover that I bought on Amazon that would keep the rust problem from happening. Also great to keep grease from getting everywhere😉. Happy travels- love you guys
The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill👍 So some interesting info from a resident that lived about 8 minutes from Baker Beach. Sunny weather starts in September- goes - through May. Then your in CA coastal fog season. Crime is high around tourist areas unfortunately. Locals ride busses, motorcycles, bikes, walk, etc. SF is very compact and easy to live in without a car. Which is why Uber and lyft basically started here. Pacifica is by far the worst regarding fog days. The coolest free tour you can do is the cable car cable house. Look it up its a hidden treasure and super cool. 👍
We liked “So I Married an Ax Murderer” with Mike Myers’s which is set in San Fran. We visited a few years ago. It’s cool to see in person things you only see on TV or in the movies. Glad y’all had a great time too.
IM GLAD YOU HAD FUN.. FRISCO IS NOT WHAT IT USED TO BE... A BIG PROBLEM WITH A LG. HOMELESS POPULATION. IM GLAD YOU GUYS HAD A GOOD EXPERIENCE AND SAFE... MY UNCLE WAS A LIFE OFFICER IN THE NAVY ON TREASURE ISLAND THERE IN THE BAY.......SAFE JOURNEY GOD BLESS
California gets a bad rap from the hater types, but it's truly an amazing place filled with a diverse population making their way through life just like the rest of us. Sure, there are things we can dislike or disagree about, but there are too many wonderful positive things in every state and in every people for us to be continuously negative and critical. Live and Let Live!
Just started watching. I was a bartender over 20 years and I loved the fact that I worked weekends. But just a tip for you guys. Not only donut shops but most restaurants are closed on Mondays too. Plus a lot of people get 3/4 day weekends off work that includes Mondays. So you're better off venturing out on Tuesday and Wednesday. To avoid traffic and crowds. That always worked out great for me anyway! Just thought I'd share that with you!💗💗💗
Glad to have you here! We usually do our exploring on Tuesdays if we can! Usually works best for us! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
@@FindingOurSomeday Love you guys's Channel! Thanks for taking us along on all the fun& beautiful tours! p.s. I even had a couple donuts with you one day! 😆 😆 😆
I just sat and watched as you navigated through and fell in love again and again and again. I live full time in my RV now and sold my place in San Francisco last year. I'm so glad you went there!
About 27 years ago my girlfriend (now amazing wife of 26 years!) and I took our first trip together to SF to visit her family. We too k a bus to the bridge, because I just had to go, and walked out to the first bridge support. We were looking out at the amazing view and had a long hug and a smooch, several of the crossing cars started honking! We felt completely safe exploring the city and riding the trolley. Not sure if it would be as enjoyable today. Great video, good thing it wasn't warmer when you visited the beach!
I lived in Pacifica for a number of yrs(in the late 80's, early 90's)...Use to ride my Mtn. Bike from Pacifica up to Golden Gate park and beyond...have crossed the Golden Gate bridge many times, lots of memories stirred from your video...
I grew up a few blocks from Baker Beach. Third generation San Franciscan. Left many many years ago before all the break ins started in. Now that’s just part of living in “the City” Great to see all our old haunts in this video that we ran around too in the 60’s & 70’s and 80’s. We loved living in the Richmond District What a fun place it was to grow up Neighbors and I are all still good friends. Can’t wait to follow your trip up the one. When I finally left I moved to Marin and then up to Sonoma County. But it’s now so over the top expensive I moved on to another state. Another great video!! Safe travels up the coast
San Francisco is a awesome city. My wife and I were there about 5 yrs ago on Valentines Day Weekend . Weather was great 75 degrees. We took the double decker bus tour and we took a cable car over the hill at night. It was awesome!!!!! Maybe next time you will do it.
This video brought back some good memories of a visit in the 80's. It is/was a beautiful city with too many problems today. I too am not a 'city person' but enjoy pieces now and then. Oh, without a doubt the movie would be 'Bullit.' Thank you for your service and safe travels.
My 22 y/o daughter is a MP (Sargent) in the Army. She’s stationed in Germany and I miss her so much!! Thank you for mentioning our armed forces. Many of whom died so young defending our right to freedom. I always love your videos and the editing. It takes a long time and I appreciate it!
Always love your videos. We live in Canada and circumnavigated the US on our Harleys the year I retired. What a rush riding the Harleys up and down those hills in San Fran. Now we have graduated to a C Class toy hauler so your many rv videos are a great inspiration for us. Keep up the great posts.
No need to apologize your videography was gorgeous as usual!💗 For me the free to look at beautiful landscape never ending flowers that's what I notice most when I travel I live for that beauty! Thanks for the Memories I haven't been to San Fran or Fisherman's Wharf the whole area for over a decade! And as always safe and happy travels💗 oh and yes speaking of War I certainly do know what you're talkin about my dad was in World War 2 The Big Red One European theater. Thanks to those brave soldiers were not walking around saying hi Hitler. Thank you so much for your service Cory 💗
So glad you enjoyed it and that we could take you back! So thankful for your father's service and all those who fought alongside him so that we can live this life today. 🇺🇸
LOL! I lived in Pacifica for 22 years! I liked the weather even less than in SF, where I was born. However, that's where the houses we could afford were. (I was still with my ex at the time.) So, they're calling it the "San Francisco" RV park now?? What a laugh. Yeah..the rust. We fought it a mile away up on the hill where we lived. Cars had the bottoms of their doors rust out, trunk lids, etc. It's known as "coastside cancer." Sorry Mazzetti's was closed--hope you tried again the next day. Yummy! And yes, the erosion along that whole stretch of shoreline is happening really fast. There were two apartment buildings further north of there that had to be condemned and torn down. (Never should have been built in the first place!) And it looks like you were at Baker Beach, just west of the GG Bridge...careful there...the far east end of that beach is not family friendly: it's "clothing optional." :-O (IMO, never warm enought for that out there, but to each their own--looks like no one else was there who thought it was warm enough, either! LOL!) The multi-colored houses are "relatively" new...and it's due to an influx of people from other places in the world. When I was growing up in the 50s and 60s, it was known as "The White City," and that referred to the color of the houses, not the people. It was rare to see a house painted any other color. My dad told that back in his bachelor days (1920s), Lombard street was actually a 2-way street! Can you imagine!? And...it's the famous touristy street, but Vermont street between 20th and 22nd streets is actually more cooked. But it's across town in a neighborhood known as Potrero Hill, a much more working-class area; no glam. Wow--Fisherman's Wharf has certainly changed! There used to be a high-class restaurant on that corner that now appears to sport an Applebee's! But--you'll have to come back again. There's still Coit Tower, and Golden Gate Park, historic Mission Dolores, and of course, you missed the cable cars on this trip...so sad...
I used to go to Frisco in the 70s. It was better back then. We used to go to Fisherman's Wharf we ate at a restaurant called DiMaggio's, Joe DiMaggio owned it. it was a good time
It is a beautiful place! And we couldn't believe how much of the beach had eroded away! And we didn't know about the nude end of the beach but apparently it was too cold the day we were there so it wasn't an issue! 😂 I can't imagine the 2 way Lombard Street! Thank you so much for watching and all the information!
Thank you for your positivity and showing San Francisco in the best light you could. It’s a beautiful city and hope one day it returns to its grandeur. Your shots of the bridge were amazing and different than any shot I’ve seen. Thank you for your service Corey and yes unfortunately the sacrifices are taken for granted by too many nowadays but we are thankful.
There is so much beauty to see there and we hope the same as you, that it will get cleaned up and get back to what it once was. We would love to see that San Fransisco! So glad you liked the footage. Thank you for watching and for your kind words! 🇺🇸
If yall want to try some famous bay area cakes and pastries, I definitely recommend Peter's Bakery on alum rock in San Jose, their burnt almond cake is great👍
The beautiful succulents or a weed that was brought in to keep dunes from a routing and a mini places in California they are trying to remove them. Just a fun fact
We were in SF in 2005 and stayed at that RV park on that front row overlooking the cliff and the ocean. We paid $65/night; it was the most we ever paid for a campsite. We explored the city using BART.
"The Streets of San Francisco" and "Nash Bridges" for TV "What's Up, Doc?" for movies in addition to "Bullit", etc. My grandmother was there for the big one and lived in Golden Gate Park for about 6 months before they could move back in to their house.
Loved this video! As a former California resident we have many memories of SF. Nice place to visit but couldn't live there. Our last trip up there was all along highway 1 on Harleys and finally across the Golden Gate. Spectacular! Be safe, be well.
Great video. San Fran is definitely a different place to visit and has lots of character. I have enjoyed the times that I have visited and look forward to back someday.
Any chase scenes in San Francisco based movies are always fun. Bullitt 's chase is awesome because ...well Steve McQueen in a Mustang...it can't get better than that. Only dumb thing is the green VW that keeps popping up.
I grew up in San Francisco its always foggy lol. Re: crime we grew up learning to lock our doors and hide our valuables in the car like you said that’s what comes with living in a city. I am surprised that you didn’t check out all the military history in SF. Now I live 2 hours away now and take for granted that its right there but never visit. Thank you for your videos and reminding me why I love that city need to get back there. I totally remember TGIF and just started streaming Family Matters :) My favorite San Francisco movies are Mrs. Doubtfire and the Presidio with Mark Harmon, Meg Ryan and Sean Connery ( I like it for the scenery and I was on set for some of the filming my mom worked on base as a civilian). Have a great rest of your trip!
You showed us a wonderful trip, wondering how you felt about the crime and homeless population in San Fran. In one spot when you were looking at the painted ladies, it looked like there was a tent city across from them. You made me think about it, but I don't know if I could visit a city with so many problems. Love your videos. This one made me think about a lot of my preconceptions of CA, some good, some bad.
San Francisco is a beautiful city with quite unpredictable weather! The fog itself is beautiful when it comes rolling in, though! Looks like you’re having a wonderful time!
We drove down that road and across the Golden Gate Bridge with our 32 foot class c. Never again. Lol. When I was a kid we went down Lthe windiest road in the world there in San Francisco in a 1974 chevy station wagon. We took a bicycle ride down the wharf and got a great lesson from the driver.
My wife and I are SF bay area natives and live in Sonoma County now so it has been very interesting to see and hear your perspective on rv'ing in our home area. Glad you seemed to have enjoyed your time in our part of the world! We are looking forward to February when we head out on our next trip in our 5th wheel.
Wow! Pacifica, my old stomping grounds! WASH WASH WASH EVERYTHING! The ocean tends to eat it up. Enjoy your time in San Francisco. I love San Francisco and always will. Tartine Bakery in the Mission, is much better than any donut shop. LOL. I'm driving with you on Lombard Street. Yay! I am lovin your journey. I reserve the right to add to my message
When I saw you guys were heading to San Francisco I was going to warn you don't leave anything in your car visible.. but I remember your videos are actually behind today's date.. but you've been in my backyard.. i pretty much grew up on Half Moon Bay and Santa Cruz Beach.. We also like Pacifica and still go there.. But we no longer go anywhere near San Francisco it's become extremely high crime due to politics.. and it's hard to even breathe by Pier 39.. The stink from homeless is horrendous.. So glad you guys are safe and had fun.. TV shows.. The Streets of San Francisco.. McMillan & Wife.. Monk.. I'm pretty sure the first two I mentioned you're too young to know..
Charmed was my favorite TV show. Also Mrs Doubtfire and the Wedding Planner. Thanks to all the Veteran's for your service!!
Mrs. Doubtfire with Robin Williams is one of my favorites.
One of ours, too! We recently watched it with the girls for the first time!

9:01 how could you not love her cute little giggle when you called her your honey! Love that!!! She definitely deserved to hear that. Great family and awesome location.
She is definitely deserving! Thanks as always for being here, man! 🙌
Flowers are called Ice Plant. Awesome as always!

Both bring back great childhood memories! We wish all the veterans out there a very Happy Veteran's Day!
Favorite SF Movie: Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte - 48 Hours! Classic!
I did the searchlights for Another 48 Hours also the Rock with Sean Connery.
That is a great one!
@@MrLucky0923 The Rock is another great one!

Thanks for the Veterans Day wish and back at you brother.
The Streets of San Francisco with Karl Malden and Micheal Douglas early to mid 70’s. Thanks for taking us along the views are gorgeous. Safe travels!

Another great video! The drone footage and GoPro 360 was excellent! The Golden Gate footage from the beach perspective was awesome!
Let's hear it for all the apple fritter lovers....yes cold, fog and hot chocolate...love you all and your travels.
Man, we love apple fritters! Thank you so much for joining us on our journey and taking the time to comment!
Too bad about the street cars. We visited SF early October and they were working then. And, yes, our gps took us thru the Tenderloin district. There were police on every corner.

Yea! Flash back GPS reroute through Chicago. When you were talking about bad people. So glade the fog lifted and you got to see it.
Another city that we would be really careful in! So glad we got to see the bridge! Excited to share our time crossing it in next video!
What a awesome family I hope your girls realize how blessed they are. My dad was never around.
Thank you for thanking our service men and women who have defended us and also to the many families whose husbands and wives and son's and daughter's who have given their lives.

Watched on Veterans Day. Thank you for Your Service. God bless you all
The multi colored houses were the inspiration for the song little boxes written by Malvina Reynolds and sung by Pete Seeger. It's a classic.
When my family went to SF we went to Alcatraz and was a very good memory .
We weren't able to tour it on this trip but hope to go back SOMEDAY!
I loved Streets of San Francisco with Karl Malden and Michael Douglas.
Great shots and great fun ! Thanks 😊 for taking me along.
Our pleasure! Thanks for joining us!
I love your videos. I can travel and see virtually what I can’t physically do anymore.
SF used to be such a fun and clean city. Glad you were able to visit.
We would have loved to have seen it back then but we had a great time getting to see the bridge and other sites of the city! 😃
Thanks for the wonderful tour of one of America’s treasures! In spite of its shortcomings you managed a wonderful and positive tour. I really enjoy your family! A true fan!!
Our first duty station was Oak Knoll Naval Hospital In Oakland. Lived at the Oakland Army Base at the bottom of the Oakland Bay Bridge. SF was awesome. Sadly the hospital is gone and housing at OARB is shut down.

Use vegetable oil on bare steel to slow down rust.
SF looks like that often, there is an old quote from someone I've forgotten "The coldest winter I ever experienced was summer in San Francisco!" Sometimes it's true. The ground cover flowers are called Iceplant, it's a succulent.
I believe that was mark Twain.
We loved the ice plant everywhere! So beautiful up the entire coast!
@@rreveler6705 Thank you! I didn't know that!

That's the magical thing about traveling seeing things that you have only seen in movies & books.I love your excitement. 🙂🇨🇦❤
It truly is magical! We absolutely love visiting places we have seen in movies and TV! 😃
I was going to post a picture, but I do not think I can. I have a hitch ball cover that I bought on Amazon that would keep the rust problem from happening. Also great to keep grease from getting everywhere😉. Happy travels- love you guys
I was totally waiting to hear Tony Bennett break out in song "I left my heart in San Francisco" 😊
Loved San Fran when we went. It's changed just like all large cities. Glad to hear, and see you found donuts, and took amazing pictures😊
We would have loved to have seen it in the 80's! We still loved getting to see the sites for the day!
The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill👍
So some interesting info from a resident that lived about 8 minutes from Baker Beach. Sunny weather starts in September- goes - through May. Then your in CA coastal fog season. Crime is high around tourist areas unfortunately. Locals ride busses, motorcycles, bikes, walk, etc. SF is very compact and easy to live in without a car. Which is why Uber and lyft basically started here. Pacifica is by far the worst regarding fog days.
The coolest free tour you can do is the cable car cable house. Look it up its a hidden treasure and super cool. 👍
Thank you for your service Cory. Ken …USN 68-71.
You're welcome! Thank you so much for yours as well! 💪
We liked “So I Married an Ax Murderer” with Mike Myers’s which is set in San Fran. We visited a few years ago. It’s cool to see in person things you only see on TV or in the movies. Glad y’all had a great time too.
IM GLAD YOU HAD FUN.. FRISCO IS NOT WHAT IT USED TO BE... A BIG PROBLEM WITH A LG. HOMELESS POPULATION. IM GLAD YOU GUYS HAD A GOOD EXPERIENCE AND SAFE... MY UNCLE WAS A LIFE OFFICER IN THE NAVY ON TREASURE ISLAND THERE IN THE BAY.......SAFE JOURNEY GOD BLESS
We would have loved to have seen what it was like a couple decades ago! Please thank you uncle for his service! 🇺🇸
California gets a bad rap from the hater types, but it's truly an amazing place filled with a diverse population making their way through life just like the rest of us. Sure, there are things we can dislike or disagree about, but there are too many wonderful positive things in every state and in every people for us to be continuously negative and critical. Live and Let Live!
Just started watching. I was a bartender over 20 years and I loved the fact that I worked weekends. But just a tip for you guys. Not only donut shops but most restaurants are closed on Mondays too. Plus a lot of people get 3/4 day weekends off work that includes Mondays. So you're better off venturing out on Tuesday and Wednesday. To avoid traffic and crowds. That always worked out great for me anyway! Just thought I'd share that with you!💗💗💗
Glad to have you here! We usually do our exploring on Tuesdays if we can! Usually works best for us! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
@@FindingOurSomeday Love you guys's Channel! Thanks for taking us along on all the fun& beautiful tours! p.s. I even had a couple donuts with you one day! 😆 😆 😆
I just sat and watched as you navigated through and fell in love again and again and again. I live full time in my RV now and sold my place in San Francisco last year. I'm so glad you went there!
About 27 years ago my girlfriend (now amazing wife of 26 years!) and I took our first trip together to SF to visit her family. We too k a bus to the bridge, because I just had to go, and walked out to the first bridge support. We were looking out at the amazing view and had a long hug and a smooch, several of the crossing cars started honking! We felt completely safe exploring the city and riding the trolley. Not sure if it would be as enjoyable today. Great video, good thing it wasn't warmer when you visited the beach!
I lived in Pacifica for a number of yrs(in the late 80's, early 90's)...Use to ride my Mtn. Bike from Pacifica up to Golden Gate park and beyond...have crossed the Golden Gate bridge many times, lots of memories stirred from your video...
I grew up a few blocks from Baker Beach. Third generation San Franciscan.
Left many many years ago before all the break ins started in. Now that’s just part of living in “the City”
Great to see all our old haunts in this video that we ran around too in the 60’s & 70’s and 80’s.
We loved living in the Richmond District
What a fun place it was to grow up
Neighbors and I are all still good friends.
Can’t wait to follow your trip up the one.
When I finally left I moved to Marin and then up to Sonoma County.
But it’s now so over the top expensive I moved on to another state.
Another great video!!
Safe travels up the coast
San Francisco is a awesome city. My wife and I were there about 5 yrs ago on Valentines Day Weekend . Weather was great 75 degrees. We took the double decker bus tour and we took a cable car over the hill at night. It was awesome!!!!! Maybe next time you will do it.
This video brought back some good memories of a visit in the 80's. It is/was a beautiful city with too many problems today. I too am not a 'city person' but enjoy pieces now and then. Oh, without a doubt the movie would be 'Bullit.' Thank you for your service and safe travels.
Thank you for a great tour and seeing things we missed on our visit. We watch Monk and visited several of the sites that they film at. Enjoy
Thank YOU for joining us! We are staying with family who are big Monk fans!
My 22 y/o daughter is a MP (Sargent) in the Army. She’s stationed in Germany and I miss her so much!! Thank you for mentioning our armed forces. Many of whom died so young defending our right to freedom. I always love your videos and the editing. It takes a long time and I appreciate it!
Always love your videos. We live in Canada and circumnavigated the US on our Harleys the year I retired. What a rush riding the Harleys up and down those hills in San Fran. Now we have graduated to a C Class toy hauler so your many rv videos are a great inspiration for us. Keep up the great posts.
Too Close For Comfort was another SF show. Ted Knight starred in it. Love the content and watching your family explore our great nation.
No need to apologize your videography was gorgeous as usual!💗 For me the free to look at beautiful landscape never ending flowers that's what I notice most when I travel I live for that beauty! Thanks for the Memories I haven't been to San Fran or Fisherman's Wharf the whole area for over a decade! And as always safe and happy travels💗 oh and yes speaking of War I certainly do know what you're talkin about my dad was in World War 2 The Big Red One European theater. Thanks to those brave soldiers were not walking around saying hi Hitler. Thank you so much for your service Cory 💗
So glad you enjoyed it and that we could take you back! So thankful for your father's service and all those who fought alongside him so that we can live this life today. 🇺🇸
@@FindingOurSomeday 💗💗💗
Favorite San Francisco film: Bullitt with Steve McQueen!
LOL! I lived in Pacifica for 22 years! I liked the weather even less than in SF, where I was born. However, that's where the houses we could afford were. (I was still with my ex at the time.)
So, they're calling it the "San Francisco" RV park now?? What a laugh. Yeah..the rust. We fought it a mile away up on the hill where we lived. Cars had the bottoms of their doors rust out, trunk lids, etc. It's known as "coastside cancer."
Sorry Mazzetti's was closed--hope you tried again the next day. Yummy!
And yes, the erosion along that whole stretch of shoreline is happening really fast. There were two apartment buildings further north of there that had to be condemned and torn down. (Never should have been built in the first place!)
And it looks like you were at Baker Beach, just west of the GG Bridge...careful there...the far east end of that beach is not family friendly: it's "clothing optional." :-O (IMO, never warm enought for that out there, but to each their own--looks like no one else was there who thought it was warm enough, either! LOL!)
The multi-colored houses are "relatively" new...and it's due to an influx of people from other places in the world. When I was growing up in the 50s and 60s, it was known as "The White City," and that referred to the color of the houses, not the people. It was rare to see a house painted any other color.
My dad told that back in his bachelor days (1920s), Lombard street was actually a 2-way street! Can you imagine!? And...it's the famous touristy street, but Vermont street between 20th and 22nd streets is actually more cooked. But it's across town in a neighborhood known as Potrero Hill, a much more working-class area; no glam.
Wow--Fisherman's Wharf has certainly changed! There used to be a high-class restaurant on that corner that now appears to sport an Applebee's!
But--you'll have to come back again. There's still Coit Tower, and Golden Gate Park, historic Mission Dolores, and of course, you missed the cable cars on this trip...so sad...
I used to go to Frisco in the 70s. It was better back then. We used to go to Fisherman's Wharf we ate at a restaurant called DiMaggio's, Joe DiMaggio owned it. it was a good time
I love all this history and these memories that you shared. Thank you! 💖
It is a beautiful place! And we couldn't believe how much of the beach had eroded away! And we didn't know about the nude end of the beach but apparently it was too cold the day we were there so it wasn't an issue! 😂 I can't imagine the 2 way Lombard Street! Thank you so much for watching and all the information!
@@bobabooie6389 You DON'T call it "Frisco!" You just don't. Best way to rile up a native! ;-)
@@dzymslizzy3641 I did not know, lol
Thank you for your positivity and showing San Francisco in the best light you could. It’s a beautiful city and hope one day it returns to its grandeur. Your shots of the bridge were amazing and different than any shot I’ve seen. Thank you for your service Corey and yes unfortunately the sacrifices are taken for granted by too many nowadays but we are thankful.
There is so much beauty to see there and we hope the same as you, that it will get cleaned up and get back to what it once was. We would love to see that San Fransisco! So glad you liked the footage. Thank you for watching and for your kind words! 🇺🇸
SF has always been on our "to do" list of places to visit! Very nice!
If yall want to try some famous bay area cakes and pastries, I definitely recommend Peter's Bakery on alum rock in San Jose, their burnt almond cake is great👍
Found myself smiling when watching you guys eat your donuts! Thanks for a great video
God bless this family. Keep them safe.
Thank you for your prayers!
The beautiful succulents or a weed that was brought in to keep dunes from a routing and a mini places in California they are trying to remove them. Just a fun fact
We were in SF in 2005 and stayed at that RV park on that front row overlooking the cliff and the ocean. We paid $65/night; it was the most we ever paid for a campsite. We explored the city using BART.
My SF liked movie was, "What's Up Doc?" with Barbara Streisand and Ryan O'Neal.
I don't think we have seen that one! Thanks for the recommendation!
Spray under the truck and trailer too!
Definitely! 🙌
Loved Full House and Charmed. San Francisco is on bucket list for sure.
It is a really cool place to visit and see the highlights. Just be careful where you park and be aware of your surroundings.
"The Streets of San Francisco" and "Nash Bridges" for TV "What's Up, Doc?" for movies in addition to "Bullit", etc.
My grandmother was there for the big one and lived in Golden Gate Park for about 6 months before they could move back in to their house.
That was an awesome video!
Loved this video! As a former California resident we have many memories of SF. Nice place to visit but couldn't live there. Our last trip up there was all along highway 1 on Harleys and finally across the Golden Gate. Spectacular!
Be safe, be well.
Thank you for bringing us along. We may never get there,but, now we know what it is like at the beach and in town.
Thank you for joining us on our journey! So happy to bring you along with us! 😃
I absolutely love the doughnut tradition. I think I’m going to have to follow your lead!! Thanks for the great idea. 😁
Great video. San Fran is definitely a different place to visit and has lots of character. I have enjoyed the times that I have visited and look forward to back someday.
Any chase scenes in San Francisco based movies are always fun. Bullitt 's chase is awesome because ...well Steve McQueen in a Mustang...it can't get better than that. Only dumb thing is the green VW that keeps popping up.
So many have recommended Bullitt. We will have to watch it! Thanks for watching!
We visited SF and took a city tour. The tour guide told us in his intro that they have two seasons in SF “foggy and not foggy”. LOL
I grew up in San Francisco its always foggy lol. Re: crime we grew up learning to lock our doors and hide our valuables in the car like you said that’s what comes with living in a city. I am surprised that you didn’t check out all the military history in SF.
Now I live 2 hours away now and take for granted that its right there but never visit. Thank you for your videos and reminding me why I love that city need to get back there.
I totally remember TGIF and just started streaming Family Matters :) My favorite San Francisco movies are Mrs. Doubtfire and the Presidio with Mark Harmon, Meg Ryan and Sean Connery ( I like it for the scenery and I was on set for some of the filming my mom worked on base as a civilian).
Have a great rest of your trip!
The plant you were referring to that you saw all over is called Iceplant. It is abundant all over Southern California.
Just like heaven with Reece Witherspoon is a great San Francisco based movie.
Thank you for sharing all your videos, love you guys!! Stay safe!!
Thank YOU for watching and following along with us on our journey!
Not only veterans day to remember, it's someone's birthday too.🙃
You showed us a wonderful trip, wondering how you felt about the crime and homeless population in San Fran. In one spot when you were looking at the painted ladies, it looked like there was a tent city across from them. You made me think about it, but I don't know if I could visit a city with so many problems. Love your videos. This one made me think about a lot of my preconceptions of CA, some good, some bad.
San Francisco is a beautiful city with quite unpredictable weather! The fog itself is beautiful when it comes rolling in, though! Looks like you’re having a wonderful time!
We did miss the sun but enjoyed the look of the fog rolling in and out around the Golden Gate Bridge. Thanks for watching!
thanks to you for your service for our free country
San Fran is always foggy, always. Sooo many great restaurants. Must go up Lombard the crookedest st.
Thank you for your service.
We actually drove Lombard in this video!👍
We drove down that road and across the Golden Gate Bridge with our 32 foot class c. Never again. Lol. When I was a kid we went down Lthe windiest road in the world there in San Francisco in a 1974 chevy station wagon. We took a bicycle ride down the wharf and got a great lesson from the driver.
My wife and I are SF bay area natives and live in Sonoma County now so it has been very interesting to see and hear your perspective on rv'ing in our home area. Glad you seemed to have enjoyed your time in our part of the world! We are looking forward to February when we head out on our next trip in our 5th wheel.
Wow! Pacifica, my old stomping grounds! WASH WASH WASH EVERYTHING! The ocean tends to eat it up. Enjoy your time in San Francisco. I love San Francisco and always will. Tartine Bakery in the Mission, is much better than any donut shop. LOL. I'm driving with you on Lombard Street. Yay! I am lovin your journey. I reserve the right to add to my message
Great family and that is what life is about, drive careful and be safe 🙏.
Really appreciate your kind words. Thank you so much for watching! 🙏
Mark Twain once said the coldest winter he ever spent was August in San Francisco.
When I saw you guys were heading to San Francisco I was going to warn you don't leave anything in your car visible.. but I remember your videos are actually behind today's date.. but you've been in my backyard.. i pretty much grew up on Half Moon Bay and Santa Cruz Beach.. We also like Pacifica and still go there.. But we no longer go anywhere near San Francisco it's become extremely high crime due to politics.. and it's hard to even breathe by Pier 39.. The stink from homeless is horrendous.. So glad you guys are safe and had fun.. TV shows.. The Streets of San Francisco.. McMillan & Wife.. Monk.. I'm pretty sure the first two I mentioned you're too young to know..
The Full House houses were only few houses to survive the 1906 Earthquake and fire.
