I can only imagine how terrifying it would be to be on that beach with tide coming in. You forget where you went in and its going to get hairy real quick... assuming a bear does not eat you first. Sea life is pretty cool. Those bears were terrifyingly cute.
Great video. Love the history. The critically acclaimed Steven Spielberg movie '1941' gives a historical perspective of events of WW2 along the west coast. Wiki the Zoot Suit Riots of LA. as well as the Ellwood refinery attack. The trailers and the movie should make a few smiles. Mark Felton did a great video on incendiary balloons during WW2 to match the plane attack. The Bears were a nice touch. Lots of memories made. It was definitely a Grand Adventure! Another great video.
I enjoyed your video. It brought back memories of visiting my great aunt and uncle as a kid. They lived in Klamath and we would fish for steelhead in the river and rock and lingcod out of Crescent City 🎣. Thanks for sharing your adventures!
It hasn't gotten out of the low 60s for us anytime in our past several weeks following the coast. It's normally cool here in summers anyway thanks to the Pacific influence, but this year it's even running below normal thus far.
@@GrandAdventure I just noticed, I'm camperbum now, lol. It's 105 plus here in the Ozarks today, can't really get anything done but watching videos, thanks Mark, now send some cool weather our way 😎 your friend in the steamy Ozarks.
Thanks Marc... fun viewing and beautiful area. Very different... it has an exotic flavor to it... like something out of Pacific southeast Asia. This will be our hottest week this summer in DFW... 103-108°F. Gord
@@GrandAdventure Marc, You could easily do a special on how to avoid summer heart. And then highlight several places over the years that were very cool during the summer months. I don't think many people are aware of coastal range temps during the summer months. Enjoy the cool buddy... Gord
Deep in the Redwood forest of California is a little diner that serves up great Sasquatch. They cook up the best Sasquatch burger I have ever had. The diner always serves up the best freshest Sasquatch steaks & burgers around. The cook likes to use shoulder altho he says rump too is a prime cut. !
That is a great area and you did a great job bringing it to the screen. I thought it was fun that the road (I think it was the scenic highway but might have been 101) would have redwoods that stuck out into the roadway.
Yep Bill, both 101 and the Scenic Route through the State Park have them jutting out into the shoulder. Especially on 101, driving through there at the speed limit with the narrow lanes and curves is sure "sporting," to say the least. Happy to hear that you enjoyed this one, thank you for your kind words!
We were at Kalamath River Rv park about a week or so ago. Might have seen you in the kayaks. There were two down river right before the river turns to go to the ocean. Very special area.
Man i love this area.....The harbor in Crescent City is usually full of sealions down by the Chart Room restaurant and noisy as hell....For yrs we did the 4th of July gig they have on the beach right there....Something to see for sure....We have done this area dozens of times but are now sidelined due to the wifes declined health condition...She has progressive M.S. and is now bed ridden and i have become a full time caregiver so am kinda sort living my RV life through you folks at present...RV hasnt moved in a yr & a half.....We have relatives in Crescent City which is why we have done this area so often...Looking forward to when your up in Charleston and all as we love that area also...Hell, we love the whole Oregon coast...Enjoy, travel safe, be well, and keep em coming !!!
So sorry to hear about your wife's situation. Here's hoping for some sort of miraculous turnaround. We were surprised to see so few seals and sea lions at Crescent City -- yep, right by the Chart Room. So we were happy to find that massive gathering right at the mouth of the Klamath. And coming up in Charleston we had an up-close encounter with a few harbor seals.
Very interesting, beautiful video Marc! I especially liked Hidden Beach and you had it all to yourself, thats best of all. The tidal pools are so interesting, beautiful, creepy and fun. Thanks for going where most people don't. Of course I like trees I live in the Missouri Ozarks! Have a great week!
Thank you so very much, Joyce! We've long enjoyed finding the path less traveled, even while visiting a heavily visited area like this. And we positively love your home area, too!
I love the PNW; especially the coastal runs. Haven't been there for about 5 years. This certainly motivates me to get there soon. Thanks for taking us along.
We stayed up the road at Mystic RV park. Nice little park with a store. Just down the road from “Trees of Mystery” This one you stayed at was closed due to COVID when we were there. In Crescent City there is Jedediah Smith Redwoods and a real cool one lane dirt road that you drive through called “Howland Hill Road”. Fern Canyon is a cool hike. There was hardly anyone there when we were there. It can be tedious hiking up this canyon; climbing over logs and rocks. Glad you are enjoying this coast. Bear spray? Thanks, Ram 👍🏼👍🏾
you're at the 2nd part of my NorCal adventure. After doing the west side of the Sac. Valley I'll head over to my aunts in Rio Dell. Then I'll start at the mouth of the Klamath and go see the 4 dams they're taking out, up to the Upper Klamath Lake in Oregon.
Hope you do! You won't be disappointed. And as for the giant trees themselves, it's impossible to convey with a camera just how awe-inspiring large they are.
Yet another great adventure Mark! Loved your encounter with Momma Bear and her cubs. And the trees were magnificent..it always amazing me that there are these massive trees on earth, that are in existence and still here to be sought out, and enjoyed..wonderful. Thanks again for the fun experience!
Good morning Mark. Another wonderful video and a history lesson at the same time. I have one question for you. Generally, how much time passes between the moment you film your video and the moment it is broadcast? Thank you and have a nice day. I always look forward to your next video.
It varies. A lot of it depends on how quickly we can gain ground on the calendar. At the moment it's about 2, to 2 and 1/2 weeks. FYI we always put the filming dates in the video description.
Hi Marc, sorry I missed this last night. You did a great job. This brings back memories for me when I was there last July. The beaches are a different kind of beauty from the beaches of the south. I had encounter with a black bear. I am just glad that they rarely attack humans and mine had no clubs. Don
I'm glad that ours only had a cub, and no clubs with which to attack us, Don. 😁 Thank you as always for your kind words! We love this whole stretch of coastline from NorCal up through Oregon. Next week we'll bring you to Coos Bay, the week thereafter the Central Oregon Coast, and the northern Oregon coast the week thereafter. Beyond that, we're still trying to figure out our itinerary.
We were so incredibly disappointed by that when we walked down and saw it. There are times that I can come up with no explanation for why some people do what they do.
Well, obviously we don't use the drone inside National Parks, and abide by all flight restrictions. Redwood National & State Parks is a unique situation, wherein it's actually a conglomeration of jointly managed state parks. In a situation like that, given that it's technically state park land, and I'm just one guy with a camera I'll take my chances. Eventually this will play out that the NPS won't apply the same standards to a UA-camr with a camera as apply to a large, commercial film crew.
@@GrandAdventure I remember when the NPS had sense enough to know the difference between big production filming/video and left small footprint photogs and videographers alone, but lately they have gone insane with their No Monetization policy. I am not monetized anywhere on any social media platform, but they have threatened me several times, once photo photographing my son and his fiancé at Valley of Fire. Said my camera was too professional to be an amateur. While photographing two Donkeys, me on Whiskey Pete's Casino parking lot, they on he dry lake bed nearby, a Nevada Highway Patrol officer told me if I did not stop photographing them, he would arrest me. I told him I was shooting from private property at Donkeys on BLM Land, but that just made him mad and he literally went psycho for a moment yelling at me. I left to avoid him throwing my camera gear in his trunk. Once at Lake Mead National Recreation Area, I was threatened with a fine for breaking out my tripod. They've just gone nuts with this nonsense. dizeman.com Thanks for your timely response!
Nothing quite like dropping off a couple of bears on your way back home...😉👏

Cute? Check. Concerning? Check.
Great video. Very close encounter with the mom bear and cub. Luckily you only had to wait 15 minutes. Thanks again Don
Haha! You're telling me, Don. All I could think at the time was, "What if this freakin' cub stays up there all night?"
Great video. Love the history. The critically acclaimed Steven Spielberg movie '1941' gives a historical perspective of events of WW2 along the west coast. Wiki the Zoot Suit Riots of LA. as well as the Ellwood refinery attack. The trailers and the movie should make a few smiles.
Mark Felton did a great video on incendiary balloons during WW2 to match the plane attack.
The Bears were a nice touch. Lots of memories made. It was definitely a Grand Adventure!
Another great video.
Thank you Ken! You've given me some stuff to look into, and I genuinely appreciate that.
A black bear wants your lunch. A grizzly wants you for lunch!
Well put. Still, I'm not putting myself between a black bear sow and her cub.
Every Wednesday evening ❤
Been there and yes, a great place. Camped on that sandbar back when it was Dad’s camp....thanks for the memories.
We're happy to bring you back through the video, Judy!
I enjoyed your video. It brought back memories of visiting my great aunt and uncle as a kid. They lived in Klamath and we would fish for steelhead in the river and rock and lingcod out of Crescent City 🎣. Thanks for sharing your adventures!
What a wonderful childhood, Steve! Thanks so much for sharing your memories.
Thanks Mark, great video AGAIN. THOMAS
Thank YOU again, Thomas!
I think I could live there, but would be happy to camp given the chance. It’s a different state of California.
Agreed. Even the locals in that area hate California.
It feels like a very un-California portion of California up there. The difference from the rest of the state is palpable.
Spent every summer as a kid fishing out of Crescent City Harbor.
What a terrific way to grow up, Suzanne!
I hope you're weather is nice and cool, it so awesome to see these places,maybe someday we'll get out there.
It hasn't gotten out of the low 60s for us anytime in our past several weeks following the coast. It's normally cool here in summers anyway thanks to the Pacific influence, but this year it's even running below normal thus far.

Looks a lot like the South and North Oregon coast. Thanks for the video Mark.
Thank you for watching! That section of NorCal really is more or less an extension of the Oregon coastline.
Another great video Marc. Thanks. Too bad that we couldn’t connect last week. Safe travels.
Thanks Gerald! Yep, that was indeed disappointing. Wishing you safe travels as well, on your journey south.
Thanks for the trip, beautiful country.
Thank you for coming along! We enjoyed having you at last night's Premiere event as well.

This will be our hottest week this summer in DFW... 103-108°F.

Thanks Gord! We're barely hitting the low 60s here. That's been the case for our past several weeks along the coast.

Thank you so very much, and thanks for watching! We're thrilled to help you populate a future itinerary.
Sorry I missed the premier. Totally lost track of time and my bad forgot to set reminder ☺️😊
Hey, if that can happen to me for my own Premiere, it can happen to anyone. 😄
@@GrandAdventure lol
Very nice area. Thanks for sharing.
And thank you as always for watching!
We were at Kalamath River Rv park about a week or so ago. Might have seen you in the kayaks. There were two down river right before the river turns to go to the ocean. Very special area.
It sure is! We only paddled upstream of the campground, so those paddlers you saw could not have been us.

Thanks for coming along, Larry! It's been 5 years for us as well, so this is a refreshing return for us.
Soo adventures ❤❤❤❤
Happy that you enjoyed it, Emily!
I was in this exact same spot about 28 years ago
No kidding! A lot of time has elapsed since then.
That was a great video. Heading there in October
Thank you Beth! Here's wishing you a wonderful trip to the Redwood Coast.

Bear spray?
Thanks,

👍🏼👍🏾
Hardly felt the need for the bear spray when we were only 100 ft from the truck. Just goes to show how wrong you can be sometimes.
Awesome.....nice video. How have you been doing Mark??
Thank you! Living the dream each week, and we love bringing our viewers along.

That'll be an interesting journey, Joe. As I understand it, the first dam removal was recently completed.
Been wanting to go there for a while. Hope to make it towards fall
Hope you do! You won't be disappointed. And as for the giant trees themselves, it's impossible to convey with a camera just how awe-inspiring large they are.
Humboldt State Grad '84 Also lived in Bishop, CA
There ya go, Randolph! Hope you've caught our recent episode from Mammoth/Bishop as well.
We need a pic of you getting the RV wedged inside that drive thru tree.
LOL! That's precisely why we didn't even try.
Yet another great adventure Mark! Loved your encounter with Momma Bear and her cubs. And the trees were magnificent..it always amazing me that there are these massive trees on earth, that are in existence and still here to be sought out, and enjoyed..wonderful. Thanks again for the fun experience!

Loved the episode! 😊
Thank you! And terrific to have you at last night's premiere, too.
Another great video! We really enjoy your style of presentation. As fellow kayakers, we love seeing the various areas you find to paddle.
Thank you so very much!! We're always on the lookout for an opportunity to drop the boat into the water.
Great video Mark. Too bad someone had to spray paint an historic landmark.
We were so incredibly disappointed by that when we walked down and saw it. There are times that I can come up with no explanation for why some people do what they do.

Anytime!
How are you dealing with National Parks and Federal lands restrictions and permits on videotaping for monetized social media sites? And the Drone?
Well, obviously we don't use the drone inside National Parks, and abide by all flight restrictions.
