    Really good vid Stirling. The music selection was spot on. Oh, I've ran a bunch of that. More than very impressive. Both car and motorcycle had tree sticking out both sides. And a camera, well there's more tree than I had camera. Sometime check beyond the boundary and see the stumps with smaller ones growing. There are miles of them. I wonder what it was like when the first residents arrived. When I was ayoung and up to say 25 yrs. old I built a lot of houses with redwood in the framing anf trim. Several places and my house have redwood 2x12 steps and stringers. Very common then. Clients made me paint it white. So sad.

    Great video that brings back so many fantastic memories of these areas. Seeing a large redwood tree for the first time kind of totally redefined what a tree is really like. I am fortunate enough to live just a day or two away from the Oregon coast and will be planning another ride in early September once the hordes of tourists on the coast are thinning out a bit. Keep bringing these beautiful videos, I can't get enough of them!

    Your camp is next level and then combined with the filming it seems a very streamlined and fine tuned process. Impressive. It’s interesting you just stuff the tent/fly/tarp into the drybag…I think I learned something as I spend too much time trying to get it dry and folding it into the original bag.

    Love it. I did a ride from Rogue River, OR to the Coast and down the Avenue of the Giants to the Bay area to visit my grandkids just a few weeks ago. It's an amazing ride with beautiful scenery all the way to about 150 miles North of the Bay Area itself when you hit population centers. Took my Multistrada Rally. Love the videos, and especially the cinematography Sterling. Great work!

    • @mweingar
      @mweingar 10 місяців тому +1

      One more thing: if you choose to ride the Avenue of the Giants and are in need of a place to stay, I chose the Miranda Garden Resort in Miranda right on the Avenue. Great location with cute cabins of various sizes. It's not the cheapest choice but great when you want a roof over your head for the night.

    My father was a Forest Ranger in Richardson's Grove State Park for several years, not far from where you camped.. It is still a very a special place for me.
    I enjoyed how you captured the feeling of the area.
    This is an area where it's nice to ride through it slowly.

    Sterling I'm leaving this Tuesday, day after tomorrow from 30 miles southeast of Atlanta, riding my FJR1300a. My destination, a week or more after that is Seattle, where I'll visit my son.California and the Redwood Forest are in the journey, although I seldom make a concrete plan, as that sometimes has me distracted. After following a spiritual calling that led my life on behalf of workers, my mind is still very open to the world around me.
    I'm nearly 63 now, and very little truly gives me inspiration any more, other than traveling through the wind with natures art gallery to touch my life. It's why I so appreciate the quality and thoughtfulness that you put into your video content. I can watch your travels when I'm unable to experience the same things you're doing. It keeps me going. It gives an old man hope for our future in America, and I'm renewed and ready for the next day and hopeful for my next possible journey. No expectations just an adventurous heart open to the world. My only fear is that when I get to the west coast again and stop to enjoy the grandeur of the Pacific Ocean, that I won't have the courage to leave and trek on. Best Wishes my friend from a fellow soul journeyman.

    I have for long wanted to get myself over "the pond" and explore western US on a motorcycle. California as well as the rest of the coastline and parts of the inland. When I retire and can take the time needed that project hopefully will become a reality. Your videos haven't lessened the interest, quite the contrary :) Great stuff! Cheers.
