Bodega Bay and Visiting The Birds Set

[@epicvape6546]

I came here from hearing about you from campervan Carolyn channel. I really enjoyed this video and seeing the birds set, I really liked that movie as well so seeing it makes me want to visit for myself😀👍😀👍🍰👍

[@pupcamper58]

Bex, I saw a promo for your channel from Beachcriicket on her birthday KZbin. I love your videos though a couple put tears in my eyes, when the camper frame broke and your car got stolen. Your travels are magnificent with breathtaking beauty. Oh than there's that sweet Petey what can an animal lover say❤ I will be going full time in June in my 19' TT . Its been my dream for ten years now. Thank you for sharing your journey. Best wishes and safe travels. Cheryl

I took my family from SC there back in 2002 on a road trip down the coast and made a stop there purposely because of the movie. It is a beautiful area. I was not aware of the proposed power plant which would have ruined such a scenic area. Thanks for the travel videos. I love watching and keeping up with the two of you. Be safe

[@leslieobrien4690]

So bittersweet to be back at Doran Beach in Bodega Bay. We moved to Tucson from Sonoma County (Monte Rio/Russian River ) two years ago. You know, they filmed “Phenomenon” not far from the town of Bodega. We used to go park up at Bodega Head and watch for whales.

[@moondancer5115]

that's the first scarey movie I saw as a kid ... back in the late 60s, and still freaks me out. but, I love birds!

[@Paradisegirl58]

Loved your video and seeing Mr Petey run like the wind on the beach. Hope to see more videos. Take care!

[@sylviajones3249]

Forgot to say how much I loved watching Mr. Petey running his little legs off. He was so happy.

[@JJ-gy3wy]

You are a natural. Thank you for the video.

[@abandonedoddplacesinpa7928]

Beautiful scenery the bay too :) . I may be headed that way this summer from Florida. I have 13 foot fiberglass trailer called a Play Mor. Excellent film locations of the The Birds.

[@SkepticalRaptor]

What is it about dogs and beaches? I don't know of a dog that doesn't suddenly get filled with energy when and happiness when it gets on a beach. Must be something in the sand. :) What a lovely video. I lived in Santa Barbara for about 15 years, and never thought to go up there to check out the locations for the scariest movie of my wayward youth. I guess I'm going to have to make a road trip from here in the mountains above LA!

[@rickcopeland1898]

Hi Bex, Another great video!! I really wish I could have gone with you guys to slab city, but I had to get back to Kansas. Take care - Rick from the RTR.

[@NARRASSAFilmes]

Very nice!

[@zantigar]

Ha! The beach is Mr. Petey's fountain of youth! The colors of Bodega Head are just staggering. And those rocks in the background, wow. Gotta go, gotta go!

[@BexCatherder]

+zantigar It is his fountain of youth! I love to see him happy. :-)

[@zantigar]

Watching Mr. Petey cavort is therapeutic to me - I could put just about any footage of him in a loop and never stop chuckling aloud.

[@ddAdmire]

You are my neck of the woods. I hope you got the opportunity to explore the surrounding areas very expensive areas but oh so beautiful.

[@BexCatherder]

+ddAdmire It is an incredibly beautiful place. Heading north from here.

[@Zeldagirl64]

Very interesting

[@etiesplace]

I discovered you watching Caravan Carolyn's video! The first video of yours I watched was your frame breaking, I said wow what an attitude and when you asked in that vid if it was to soon to joke or laugh I said yep " subscribe" love your spirit thanks for sharing your road life with me with while I wait to begin mine I'm learning before I go, so hats off to you strong determined women of the road💕👍💪🚐 Have you ever considered a van Life?

[@BexCatherder]

+Mary Etie Hi Mary! I have considered a van but I really like setting up home in one place for several days at a time. If I had a van, I would have to pick everything up every day to go for a hike. Then set up my home again when I returned. With a trailer, I can set up house, and it's there when I return every night. Thanks so much for subscribing! :-)

[@fabulousfoundations3507]

I love the movie the birds I've also not seen it in years but it's a great movie!

[@rickanderson1398]

Another great video. 👍

[@sarjim4381]

Just to clarify, the town on the coast is Bodega Bay. "The Birds" was filmed in the town of Bodega, about 5 miles inland from Bodega Bay. There are lots of guide books that seem to think they are one in the same, and they're not. I've seen confused tourists trying to find the Potter School while in Bodega Bay.

[@scottmorlock6640]

i hope you reinforced the other side of your camper as well good luck

[@davidhinnant9345]

Looks like Mr. Petey was having a blast! Yea, you did get a great camping spot. Glad to see you and Mr. P are well and having fun. Thanks for the tour of Bodega Bay.

[@BexCatherder]

+David Hinnant Thanks so much!

[@teenherofilms]

You are very lucky to have such a cute dog

[@GiggleFishy]

I'm sitting here eating my dinner as I watch videos from your "back catalog". :) I see you have many vlogs earlier - do you have one where you tell your story, as in, how/why you joined the nomad lifestyle, and, if so, can you point me to it? Thanks. Enjoyed all of the views of Bodega Bay and the Birds stuff. :)

[@BexCatherder]

Oh, I don't have such a video. Others have asked about "my story" too, but I'm not sure it would be very interesting. Perhaps I could mix it in with something far more interesting so people could skip the boring part? ;-)

[@GiggleFishy]

Whatever you're comfy with, thanks. :)

[@BelindaForgy]

Absolutely gorgeous!

[@BexCatherder]

+Belinda Forgy - Editor Thank you!

[@TravelSmallLiveBig]

Loved seeing Mr. Petey on the beach! Our Lab would love that beach too... Another great video :)

[@jenniferd3362]

❤️❤️❤️

[@BexCatherder]

+Jennifer Drawbaugh

[@efzapp7]

Thanks for the info. Glad you're back. We'll be in S.F. this fall and hope to check out Bodega Bay because of your vlog.

[@MaryLouTido]

So cute when Petey started barking...I think he was saying "Momma, this is great. I'm having so much fun. Come on, run with me"

[@BexCatherder]

+Mary&Maya Vlogs Ha ha! I think your right.

[@dianeelaine]

My all time favorite movie! I've seen it more than fifty times easily! Thanks for sharing! I would move there if I could, its gorgeous!

[@BexCatherder]

+Cousept21 Oh, there was so much to see around there, I feel like I could never do the place justice. It is a wonderful little place. :-)

[@lauraliekarels4059]

Petey is stealing my heart and my little Shih tzu Buddy is so jealous he got to run around on the beach. Buddy gets a snowy frozen back yard.

[@BexCatherder]

+Lauralie Karels Petey is a heart stealer!

[@ChristinaColoradoan]

Mr Petey loves the beach! Did you make it to Quartzsite? Kept looking for you in the various videos posted. Hope you are still considering coming my way 😊😊😊😊😊

[@BexCatherder]

Hi Christina! Yes, I was at the RTR and Finding Simon included me in one of his videos! I'll be going back next week for the fiberglass rally at Dome Rock! :-)

[@SoundMediaVibes]

Just checked... The Birds full movie is on KZbin! :)

[@lauraliekarels4059]

I forgot your channel name and saw you pop up in Simon's video and was finally able to find you and subscribe. Coincidently the 1st video I watched was your frame busting in half and then here you were at Bodega again. Glad this trip went well!

[@denaredford6701]

He owns the beach . Small dogs always have to voice their opinions . He is a looks like a good little companion .

[@dominickbundy6429]

FYI if you'd like to see "The Birds " just go to You Tube and watch "The Birds full movie.. free of charge. something you and Petey might do on a rainy day.. Boy hard to believe Petey is 14 years old.. Cherish every second you have with him (Which I'm sure you do) Also you have created such a wonder life for you and Petey. I really enjoy all of your videos and wish nothing but the best to you both. Drive carefully stay safe. and I'll be looking forward to your next adventure..

[@BexCatherder]

+Dominick Bundy Oh, thanks. I really should have thought of that. Everything is on KZbin. Thanks so much for the well wishes! :-)

[@jonesbluesandjam]

Glad you consider to keep sharing! :)

[@prairieusa]

Just love this video! Beautiful Bodega Bay, Mr. Petey being cute, great history narration and music! So relaxing to watch. Thank you, Bex! 😊 🚕 🏖

[@BexCatherder]

+prairieusa Thank you so much! :-)

[@creativehearts7127]

Beautiful place....you weren’t attracted by birds while you were there.?

[@kawaikui]

I was just about as excited to see your new video as Mr. Petey was to see the beach. He certainly did not look his 14 years, LOL! Thank you for sharing your travels and safe journey to you both . . .

[@BexCatherder]

Thank you so much!! :-)

[@covenben]

Great video thank you so much for the resurfaced memories I once had 25 years ago when I visited Bodega Bay 😊

[@annhand9788]

Glad to see you back, ! Now I have to watch the birds again , Where was the the teachers house ? I thought it was close to the school Tippy Hendricks was one of the most beautiful women of her time , It was horrible what she had to put up with to do that movie . Once again glad to see you .

[@BexCatherder]

Thank you! And I agree, Tippi is amazing and she put up with way too much from Hitchcock!

[@bhhardgr01]

Thank you for the up load .. I saw the Birds when it came out , with my family.. I think I was around 12... My bedroom had 3 windows from the floor to the ceiling.. I ended up sleeping under my parents bed on the floor..

[@BexCatherder]

Wow! I guess it would be pretty scary for a child. It was an excellent movie. :-)

[@kathytripp8617]

Petey, you are adorable!! You've got instant puppy!! Lol!!!😳😳😳😘😘😘😘

[@Tygerlady99]

Petey just steals the show the way he zooms around the beach with his tiny legs. He also looks like a puppy.....sooooo adorable!! Nice camping spot and the beach area is beautiful!

[@BexCatherder]

+Tygerlady99 He is a show stealer!

[@JonTanOsb]

To find a clam, look for bubbles. See "The Birds" but don't camp under trees after. ;) Yes, be mindful of wasps. Unlike bees that die after they lose their stinger, wasps retain theirs and can sting you multiple times. Ouch! Jon in BC

[@garygoldsmith9844]

Look at that tail wag. My dog is the same, loves sand.

[@BexCatherder]

+Gary Goldsmith I just love seeing that little tail wagging butt! ;-)

[@kennyc388]

Havin' a bad day? Just watch Petey for a while.

[@BexCatherder]

+Anton Bouchette Certainly works for me! :-)

[@abandonedoddplacesinpa7928]

Your back! Glad to see you back making these great videos thank you

[@BexCatherder]

+Abandoned and Strange Places in eastern PA Thank you very much!

[@batty505]

Bex Cat-herder since your camper issue, have you considered painted the frame of your camper to prevent rust? You can buy any metal frame acrylic paint, or rust preventative stuff and paint it yourself. Hope this helps

[@robinengland5799]

This is one of your best videos yet, I am a seakayaker and this looks like heaven to me! Wow that Mr Petey is in awesome shape for his age! Thanks for another great video!

[@MaryLouTido]

Ditto!

[@BexCatherder]

+Robin England Thank you!

[@RickMartinYouTube]

Can you explain how you go about 1) finding these places? Do you use the internet or have local knowledge or word of mouth? 2)How do you educate yourself about the history. I've been impressed with your knowledge especially the videos concerning geological sites/rock structure ( ie Painted Hills, Oregon). Trying to prepare for my trip West this summer.

[@cornercracker30]

Petey is on fire! I love seeing this ol doggy so fired up. Just like the good old days.

[@sylviajones3249]

Yes, bad idea about the reactor. Ya gotta wonder where people's heads are sometimes!?

[@1960HikerDude]

Their heads were in their wallets. We have word for it. Greed.

[@sylviajones3249]

For sure.

[@sharonmarks7192]

That is probably the prettiest area of coastline yet! How long did you stay?

[@BexCatherder]

I was just there for a weeekend! But yes, the north coast of California is incredible! I cannon get enough. :-)

[@TwoLaneTraveller]

Have you been to Samuel P Taylor State Park? What a great place. I noticed on your list of liked videos the Resolve 12.5 tutorial and also that there is no fish effect in your videos. Are you as serious as it might seem about video production?

[@BexCatherder]

Oh, I have not been to that state park! But I just looked it up and it looks wonderful. I'll definitely be putting it on my list. I have been playing with Resolve and want to make the best videos that I can. I'm not sure I'm as serious as some others, but definitely more serious than many! ;-)

[@lindashumaker4361]

Great video!!! Love petey! You've taken great care of him!!❤️

[@thedesertmisfit]

Your camera makes stunning videos, everything is so crisp and bright...and of course, Petey's cute too!

[@garygreen8737]

it was great to meet you at the rtr ! love the beach too ! travel save !

[@BexCatherder]

+roadtrek green Great to meet you too. Hopefully we'll meet up again down the road.

[@saylorzg3793]

I see you were just at the rtr.

[@BexCatherder]

+Saylor ZG Sure was! :-)

[@SustainUsFarm]

Bex, What camera are you using?? Great video...

[@SuperCabrito14]

Cool vid. Subbed

[@Geordo1960]

Everyone noticed the dog looking back checking to make sure that mama was still with him while running on the beach? That was pretty cute!

[@RickMartinYouTube]

would be a great state/area to live in - but tooooo expensive for my budget.......

[@BexCatherder]

+Rick Martin It has become too expensive for me too. Crazy the way the cost of living keeps rising.

[@gimmes0mespace]

Did you get your Casita fixed? Petey is a cutie!

[@BexCatherder]

I'm going to leave the fix in place for now and just keep an eye on it. It seems it's actually a pretty good fix already.

[@daniellehoward3842]

hi there I was wondering if you could tell me what editing software you use to make you video, I'm taking a family trip soon and would love some help here thanks!!

[@BexCatherder]

+Danielle u Hi Danielle! I edit with a program called PowerDirector! :-)

[@icebob8555]

Spent our honeymoon there

[@rickgonzales4541]

It wasn't not on 1962 it's 1963 or after

[@lydiachurch2957]

[@ericdahl171]
