Hi there Tim in Tok! Yep, we've still got the '66. I haven't started her and used her in over a year now and it's making me sad. She's a (ahem) a bit rusty. Thinking of selling ... that makes me sad as well.

@Mizamook yeah, southeast is brutal on metal. I share your sadness. We just sold our 36' Albin we lived aboard in Sitka. Well, chapters in life. Hey, if you guys ever make it up this way in the westy you're always welcome. We got room and VW's ✌️

You live in Gustavus Gene? That looks like a fun- good time. Way back in 2005 my dad, brothers and I stayed at the Bear Track Inn there in Gustavus. We even rode some bicycles in the 4th of July parade! We had a LOT of Halibut to ship home!

Hey Jon! Yep, we are planted in Gustavus. Totally cool you were here! Mmmmm... halibut! Hope you are well!

Gene, We are watching the: Buying Alaska show and watched some of your stock footage from this video…

This is a beautiful piece of film. I love the contrast of the colorful sails against all the backgrounds. Plus Genes epic sound track is a bonus. ❤

Hard to beat that striking color! To be clear though ... the soundtrack was not my work (although it was work to find the right songs!) .. see the description! It was pretty weird though ... I made all the edits, then looked for music. When I finally found the pieces I likes, that had the right length, I discovered that the edits were really really close to being "on the beat". Neat.

@@Mizamook Serendipity. Also your Drone work is amazing. Drones are hard to use perfectly.

Thank you. There are plenty of mess-ups in this one, but it was easier usually because in that big open area there is very little to worry about hitting ... trying not to get run over by a Hobie is one thing, and not crashing into the boats at the dock, but no trees or bushes or powerlines makes it relatively easy.

Thanks, Gene for your prompt response. You pretty much told me everything I wanted to know. But I was hoping they might have improved it over the years. I would be going alone and the shape of my car is a consideration. It's true it was mostly an adventure and after Hoaglin I barely recall a car coming the other way until I got within a few miles of Covelo. It wasn't at all a slog, but 36 -Bridgeville -Blocksburg-Alderpoint Garberville or if there's time- Bell Springs is a gorgeous ride!

@Mizamook 7 ай бұрын

Have fun out there. I will admit I'm envious ... I now live in a town (Gustavus Alaska) with no back roads to speak of, and nowhere to drive to. Also: When I was talking of Covelo I think I was conflating it with Paskenta/Platina ... it's rougher over there. I dont' recall creek crossings on the Covelo side. If you do Mendo Pass, that's usually good road but I've only seen it in winter (snow!). IN the meantime, don't forget Sherwood Road out of Willits, drops to 101 north of the turn to Covelo.

Hi Gene! Thank you for this! I did this 10 years ago in the summer in a Legend. I had vw bus's in the 60's and 70's. It looks like good dirt here.I I started up Bell Springs rd. to Alderpoint , across to Zenia and down to Covelo. I saw a bear cub, scurry away from the road. I remember fording some streams easily closer to Covelo. I'm thinking of doing it in a few days in my Prius. Do you think there would be some problems in clearance in any spots? Always nice to see others who enjoy these treks as much as me!

@Mizamook 7 ай бұрын

Hi Kirk, well, cool. I think Mina Road/Kettenpom, all that, is certainly Prius-able. Some of the creek crossings out Covelo way could be really dodgy. The only thing I've heard from Prius owners is that the clearance is minimal, and they were talking about stuff I would not think twice about in a VW, which has, if I am guesstimating properly, about 3x as much, at least. Plus, these dirty old buses are not likely to show a new scratch or dent so easily ... the Prius might not fare so well. But ... I would not say don't do it ... nor would I say you could not. Just have your butt covered just in case, especially if alone, and have fun! I haven't seen those roads since 2014, so keep that in mind, too. Wait .. 2014? Egad! It's been a decade since I've attended the Shasta Trip! Tempus fugit!

Lol! As teenagers we use to get more air in a 71 Monte Carlo that had the engine and transmission removed and we would take a tractor and loader and push it down the pipeline hill and bounce across the creek at the bottom. No helmets, no seatbelts! We just put our feet against the dash and braced for the impact.
