Abandoned Hobbiton in California and The Legend of Bigfoot on the old Redwood Highway

[@sahpem4425]

I love and appreciate your passion for history’s preservation, restoration and education. It’s absolutely way. These videos SHOULD be trending!

[@geraldpierini7124]

These last few videos about the Redwood Highway are among my wives favorite. As a little girl in the 50's and 60's she lived in different places around those areas. Also, as an adult she lived in Ukiah and other communities there. They brought back many pleasant memories for her. Thank You. Jerry

[@DrMcCoy007]

Thank you VERY much for taking the time and effort to bring back pieces of history in a modern format. Your videos are well scripted, edited and very informative. We feel like you provide us an opportunity to travel, see and learn all from the comfort of our home. Your videos inspire viewers to get out and see the wonders of the open road for themselves. Your passion and enthusiasm are awesome and contagious.

[@fandarzelig]

I really appreciate your Boy Scout, leave nothing but foot prints approach to exploring. Great video.

[@scottrousseau496]

I looked up Hobbiton on the internet and there are some great photos of when the place was open. Very cool!

[@DizGrl]

I loved this! I hopped on to Google and typed in Hobbiton CA and some pics with the unbroken Gandalf came up and other pics too! Looked cool 😎

[@lb221]

Excellent redwoods series, you truly have a gift. Thank you!

[@anthonysousa3919]

Justin you are truly the reincarnation of Huell Howser. The amount of work, heart and soul you put into your vlogs is a credit to your character and work ethic that I’ve only seen anywhere from Huell and his California’s Gold Adventures. You may call it RandomLand but to me each piece is far from random. Each is brilliantly written, creatively filmed and edited and worthy of exposure to The widest audience possible. You do so much more extensive research than other vloggers that it shows in entertaining, educational and plain old fun pieces. Please keep up the good work and do more stuff up here in Northern California. Live in the San Jose area and would love to see you in the Bay Area, Monterey, Yosemite, etc. Thanks again for what you do. You make me smile and remember Huell but that you have the future of “RandomCalifornia”.

You drove right past our family home property and family redwood grove between Phillipsville and Miranda. We love going back on vacation we were there a month ago. It sure has changed since we moved in the early 2000. Thanks for the visit and sharing of your visit.

[@baconmecrazy8128]

When I first moved to Humboldt County (late sping of 2001), I lived at the south end of the Avenue of the Giants in between Chimney Tree and Phillipsville in a redwood cabin which was part of a group of cabins built back in the 1930's as road side fishing cabins. They are right across the road from the Eel river, and there are large number of old growth (500 years and older) redwood trees all around them. Used to eat Chimney Tree as often as I could afford to (they had Great burgers!). I moved to Eureka a few years later.

[@NurseHensley]

I've loved this entire series!!!!!

[@shawnduffy8026]

Another excellent adventure! Would so love to visit some of these places someday! Thanks again for taking along! 🚙💨🏕🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲

[@DannyD714]

i surely enjoyed "there and back again" with justin scarred. thanks for all your hard work.

[@meganpeveich8407]

Alright someone needs to revamp this Hobbiton USA! I adore it.

[@wlwal1]

Great Job Justin! You do lot of research to produce your videos, and the Avenue of the Giants is a Fantastic place to visit ! Need to really see it in person, its just Amazing! Thanks!

[@patbowman6723]

I love the quirky places you show us and especially the little jokes you manage to sneak in. Another WELL done video. thank you so much

[@susanhansen1505]

Thanks for touring the country for us, Justin! Love the peek into the byways of America!

[@janetroberts4359]

Really enjoying following along on my map as I watch. And remembering a particular road trip our family took through there, camping as we went: two adults, 3 teens and one pre-teen. And this was before Prozac or Xanax!

[@amusementnow4416]

This type of video is my favorite, even if they're not exactly "trending." Keep it up!

[@theathjr]

very informative Justin. obviously you did ALOT of research prior to this adventure. it shows. great work

[@JustinJennings]

I've been loving these videos. Growing up, our family would take a week long road trip and we always ended up in the redwoods. I love the Skunk, although we always grabbed it from Fort Bragg to Willits, not the other way. My favorite camp ground is Grizzly Creek near Cheatham Grove, famous for the filming of that famous movie from the 80's, "Blue Harvest." You know the one. Thanks for these. I've been stuck at home all summer and this looks like the closest thing we're getting to a vacation this year. Cheers! Justin Jennings

[@markraymond3886]

Another great video. Our travels in the 70s never went this far north before dad drove over to I-5. It's nice to see what I missed.

[@sandinoyes3882]

Excellent as usual! Thanks for reminding me of many fun camping trips.

[@bettytunnell3982]

Great video! I love the redwoods. Thanks for taking me back to my childhood.

[@jeremybolt5692]

Neat to see you cover Hobbiton USA...one of my favorite "traps" when I was younger. Thanks for the update!

[@PhillipDrange]

Thanks so much for posting what happened to Hobbiton USA! I was lucky to go through the actual walk through (my parents paid the $2!). I hope someday it can get restored

[@Elemiriel]

Great Episode! I always enjoy seeing what local people can do! Maybe someday a new iteration of Hobbiton could open!

[@Chieftracyhorse]

Thank you for your redwood vlogs. It’s so beautiful to look at them! ❤️

[@freedomdove]

Thank you so much for taking us along, Justin.

[@myfamilymatters]

Absolutely loved the tour Justin, and the research and filmography. What an amazing location. Thank you so much for sharing this adventure.

[@stevelachappelle8571]

I rode the PCH about 3 years ago. riding in the red woods was one of my most favorite things on the tour!

[@jakesmith9934]

I loved this video Justin! I remember going to the Redwood Forest when I was a kid. Great memories that last a lifetime. You just brought back all the feels brother. ❤️ Thank you

[@omarbarajas610]

Wow all this is in my home state.... time for exploring! Thanks

[@johnnboy2000]

Also stop by Humboldt Redwoods Interpretive Visitor Center. It is part gift shop part museum it has CHARLES KELLOGG’S TRAVEL LOG “where Charles Kellogg turned a hollow giant redwood into a traveling cabin on wheels ( an early RV) he built a kitchen, lockers, beds, dining table, it had a dresser, electric lights, running water, and even a guest room. After WW2 he used it too travel around the US too promote the preservation of California’s giant Coastal Redwoods and the fledgling Save the Redwoods League.”

[@boots8645]

Keep up the GREAT work! Always love the energy and of course the puns.

[@loganbeaumont2490]

I did a big redwood trip and I stayed on the coast, spent two weeks there. I only did about a fourth of what you've done. But I did do Bigfoot!

[@pappy4075]

An so great. Love th drone shots. Wish had more

[@blinkitphotography]

Another great trip, just love your music, personality and locations you found are amazing.

[@kylalady]

Cool such beauty of the Forrest love the Bigfoot stop pretty cool

[@evaespinosa1480]

I have a picture of me and my dad when I was 1 years old at the hobbit trail there ....that was over 40 years ago lol...so many memories.

[@XenomorphXIII]

Re. Hobbiton USA! A documentary came out in 2004 called "Ringers: Lord of the Fans" about the Tolkien fandom, and one of the segments shows off Hobbiton USA and talks to the then-current owner. It shows some of the statuary and even has a little bit of the tour audio! Worth a look if you can find a copy of the DVD! EDIT: P.S., love your channel! My mom discovered it, and she made a KZbin account just so she could subscribe. Then I subscribed too! We love watching your videos together. Keep up the awesome work!

[@evanhanks6929]

I love your videos and love the red woods

[@markbrookphelps0717]

My father Frank Dunn was the sculptor of Gandalf, Bilbo, Gollum and Smog. He had a fun time making them❤

[@gordonwchas]

Loved this one!

[@arthurherrera7703]

[@geraldpierini7124]

[@suzannescott3550]

Where to next? Love your videos!

[@joycepollyanna8414]

We went to Hobbitton a few times. It was really cool!

[@wuzittooya]

How was it inside? Was it kinda stuffy or hot?? Either way, looks like you had a lot of fun in that hollowed out redwood log!

[@richardcano2999]

What Justin! No Log Cabin pancakes? Thanks! Great video!

[@DRush76]

Is this the Highway 101 that you're discussing? Because I've always thought it was one big freeway between downtown Los Angeles to Northern California.

[@elizabethambriz8298]

I was there last fall with my daughter and her husband , but never saw big foot at our campground while we were thier camping ⛺️

[@disneyand1225]

Cool!

[@katec4369]

What fun!!

[@irisburelli5028]

I've been to a few of these places up north. I'll check if I have pictures.

[@elizabethmoore2684]

You must be a big Tolkien fan. Have you ever traveled to Seattle? Or traveled along the Oregon, California or Santa Fe Trails?

[@trevorrandom]

Vlog in a log fabulous ☺

[@AdenTechPlaysYT]

Love it

[@johnalvinbelarmino598]

First yehey new adventure in randomland

[@ScooterMcNoodle]

THANKS MAN!

[@brieflean]

Come back to hannibal, Missouri the light house was ripped down and a new one was put up. Also the crazy antique store on main street closed down.

[@samgassaway6129]

I saw a bear show in New Hampshire and I learned that they do actually love ice cream. Apparently Strawberry is there favorite flavor. I just thought I would let you know.

[@EBThisThat]

Travelositys gnome probably ate some redwood seeds. By the way, have you ever been to the house on the rock ? I plan to travel there someday since its attached to one of my favorite shows, American Gods.

[@TheVloggerDude2018]

1st comment and like. Now I’m gonna... GO HOME AND.... SCHLEEP WELL

[@merlee38]

awesome

[@BillLund]

It was a different era, but I'd rather see the tree than the One Log House. In that same era people thought it would be a good idea to cut down the most massive tree in what became Big Trees State Park, just to see if they could. By the way, if you haven't been to Big Trees, you should. Really impressive trees.

[@707tinman707]

You have a fastrak??

[@OGMikeonthemike]

Fern canyon/endor

[@zachmadeavideo]

Log in. That one made me genuinely laugh.

[@Chef-Really5365]

Dude very entertaining . Voice cross between Pewee Herman & My favorite Adam the Woo Borderline annoying but strangely addictive

[@SorryThisChannelIsUnavailable]

Man I would love to travel the world in a redwood log lol

[@pearsooo6972]

At 7 minutes and 45 seconds you caught a very beautiful hot rod grokster

[@jamsxyz2929]

i live here and see it all the time and my dad went and saw the hobbit trail back in 1988 when he was a kid and we found a vhs tape that shows the hobbit trail in its prime and it was almost lost the place closed in 1995 cuz a rainy winter made the river rise and part of the trail slid into the river suposedly multable statues were washed away in the river and a dragon statue on the river bar burned or something and was a "burnt blob" for a while the trial had speakers and audio and stuff im not sure i can release the footage tho
