I've been to Julian many times. It's beautiful, especially when it snows. I lived in Escondido in the early to mid 70's and would go there for the fun and the Apple Cider. One time we took back a pickup bed full of snow with us, it was great fun !

I LOVE the town of Julian, I'm so glad you're going to spend more time there! So much history, great apple pies, and a fun place to walk around and explore. FYI: Apple Alley Bakery has gluten free pies and sandwiches available, which was a real treat for me the last time I was there.

been going up to Julian for years, great place especially just after a snow they will sometimes get enough for a fun daytrip. random flocks of wild turkeys wander about town mainly I have seen them around the fire station. Area around Heise Park has some good trails for hiking. Friend of mine has a home out that way and they occasionally will pick up a mountain lion on their night-time video cam.

Hopefully, you'll stop at Dudley's and check it out. Am looking forward to your future videos of the area. Also great coverage of Anza Borrego desert. I haven't spent much time there.

You and Foresty are my favs. Thank you for sharing and good luck with the ranch.

Hi Tom, yeah Julian sure is awesome! What a cool town with incredible history. I've not had a chance to roam much of the area around town so I plan to return to Julian in a few weeks to hit some of the hiking trails, etc. I agree about the CA Govt, back in the 2000s I lived in San Clemente and Newport Beach. I always about died every time I'd go register my car. Compared to what we paid growing up in the Midwest I always looked at CA vehicle fees as robbery. Same goes with the state income tax...what exactly was I paying for with all the money going to the State? It sure wasn't to fix the roads or improve any other infrastructure. It's too bad the politicians have subjected the people of CA to such fraud. I hope Newsome gets recalled, he's the worst.

@OffGridBackcountryAdventures3 жыл бұрын
Good Morning Cotey Bucket, I've not found a good solution for nomad banking. I have all my deposits set up to hit my bank account via direct deposit so I don't really need to go visit a branch. I'm with Commerce Bank in Kansas (family has banked there forever) and plan to stick with them for the time being. They are the best bank I've worked with and allow me to do a good deal of my banking over the phone, via email, and Skype calls. I like the fact they look for ways to work with me and my nomad lifestyle instead of just saying "no" like Wells Fargo, US Bank, and Bank of America. Maybe blockchain will one day be able to provide some sort of banking separate from the traditional banking system.
@coteybucket3 жыл бұрын
@@OffGridBackcountryAdventures Good morning. That sounds about par for the course. I've managed to float on accounts I've started while being housed but that can get weird if your bank likes to send you tons of crap mail. Last time I was on the road I was doing a lot through pay pall and then all the sudden they wanted to do an address verification to let me access my funds and the address on my ID didn't match what they had anymore. I think block chain would be supper helpful for digital nomads but it still leaves out all the folks who do odd jobs and what not while they're on the road. Guess we all just piece it together as we can. Thanks for the response and the vids :)
