This is my family's home. This is my family's legacy. Thank you.

Thank you for checking in. I really enjoyed learning about the Falk history & legacy from Julie Clark and those great interpretive signs they have along the trail.

Well done and informative video. We live close to this very special beautiful area and I appreciate learning about it. Thank you 🌻

I'm so pleased you enjoyed it, and hope it inspires a few locals to make a visit up there - it is such a beautiful place. While filming scenes quietly alone on the trail, I sensed an interesting ghostly/wistful feeling to the place I normally don't feel in outdoor areas I spend time in.

@@humboldtoutdoors6082 sitting at the picnic table near the parking lot, reading a book while my son hiked, I too felt a little spooky cool feeling. It's so quiet and the trees form such a thick canopy over that table. I love going there.

@@humboldtoutdoors6082 Maybe the former inhabitants of Falk were there giving off ghostly energy? Recently I took the road out to the coast, off 101, on the south side of the Klamath. Beautiful long winding loop road with breathtaking views. There's a historical plaque along the way that tells about the unusual reason there are 2 cabins nestled into the hillside overlooking the ocean. I felt a little creepy twinge reading that plaque much like the feeling at the Headwaters Reserve. Maybe another video for you?

@@allikatt777 Thanks for the tip. I'm always looking for ideas on local programs for Access Humboldt. To add - if you, or anyone you know is interested in making local programming like this, non -profit Access Humboldt heartedly encourages any Humboldt County resident to join as a member. It's only $25/year and they provide all the equipment, training and support at a super low cost - local programming is especially needed. accesshumboldt.net

I've taken sooo many people to Falk to teach them the history. I wonder if that 1930's dump truck is still off the cliff a minutes walk from there. The engine house was actually a distance away....BLM disassembled it and reassembled it where it's at today.

[@humboldtoutdoors6082]

Thanks for the interesting comment! Julie Clark, the BLM ranger for that area would probably know the answer.

I'd love to hear it! I was actually working on another music vid with your Just be Glad song, but can't set up my green screen while I'm rebuilding my garage for the fairy scenes.
