From a California Ghost Town to Lake Tahoe 🇺🇸 (NorCal Ep.8)

[@estond]

It is very rare to see this beautiful part of the USA, very calm and human as a dream for everyone. Magical valleys and small towns authentic as a green fairy tale. Thank you for giving us this beautiful picture as a preserved history. Greetings from Macedonia~O~

[@rob-robi]

Similar feeling walking thru laguna beach california, kind of like walking on clouds there

[@johngallaghermusic9777]

just watched all 8 episodes back to back. Love it ! ,The diversity is remarkable for everything in this wonderful county. You and Nana are both great presenters and you're energy and enthusiasm are second to none. Thank you.

[@seanstenberg1559]

Mr. Peter S, Wow! Absolutely impressed with this 7 episode series! As a born and breed Northern California’n in my mid 50’s now, it was awesome to rediscover with fresh enthusiasm and insight, the special beauties of our state! You have genuine talent that far exceeds most anyone on KZbin! Thank you! However, I found myself losing all daylight hours, on the first pleasant weekend in Ft. Bragg, Ca. binge watching all 7 episodes! It’s got me motivated for getting out on the road! Again, thank you so much!!

[@dieterfischer3432]

Wow, what a series. I love how much you adore your country and show it off to us and nana with such Passion and knowledge!

[@sj4645]

Putting your phone away & paying attention to those talking to you. There is an App for that it's called RESPECT. I love the sense of humour.

[@KerriRuhl]

I've been following you for about a year but hadn't watched any of this series until now. I loved seeing your wife, and the highlights of Northern CA. Well done. Your wife is so cute.

[@Travelwithchris]

Ive been loving the California series so far dude! Hope all is well!

[@Cinoth]

I know you probably wont read this but thank you for these beautiful videos, it's the best videos I've seen on youtube I could watch 1000 episodes of these the only bad part about these videos is there was only 8 episodes. Yosemite national park is such a beautiful place, my grandma visited there with here 2 sisters who live in California or lived, they have both passed away a few years ago and same with my grandma. Greetings from Sweden.

[@anniemody]

This whole series has been a treat to see. Fabulous insider views from Peter & exciting to see Nana's reactions to some of the really different culture on the other side of the pond. This one with lake Tahoe has an amazing terrain & such a lovely lake too. Thanks guys for taking us on this virtual ride with ya !

[@melaniewillis2356]

I was raised Santa Clara and have been to all the places you have shown on this series. I moved away from California 11 years ago for job related reasons and miss California everyday. I feel you are my soulmate because I believe that Northern California is so beautiful. I always have thought Big Sur is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen and when you said “what about Bill Murray “ thats when I said I really like this guy! I love Bill Murray . Thank you so much for the tour down memory lane and all the explanations of these places that I never knew.✌🏻

[@michaelthomson8065]

I see this video was posted 4 years ago,when you lived in Kiev,Ukraine. I pray that you and your family are safe these days .Keep making great videos.

[@deannapowell7237]

Ugh, I love this area so much. It was my "backyard" growing up. I was born in Placerville and spent so much time in this area for the first 10 years of my life. I had a bunch of snow experiences like that too. I moved to the Seattle area when I was 10 and still live here now, but I go back to Placerville and Tahoe whenever I can. I got my love for backpacking from growing up in the Sierra mountains on the California side. So much so, I did the 4 day backpacking trip through the Peruvian mountains Inca Trail to Machu Pichu. I am so grateful for this experience!

[@chriswatchingponies9877]

Awman, thanks for taking me back. Beautifully done. Your lady had a constant smile on her face. She had a blast. I will catch up with all of your videos. Binge-watch !

[@sandvenexplorer]

You don´t need to travel half way across the world to see interesting stuff, you find it in your backyard perhaps..

[@chatalaine]

I have enjoyed this series very much. We lived in CA for many years. Raised our children there. You have shown the greatness of the state. But our family it became very difficult. At the end we lived in a lovely small town along the central coast. LA started the invasion. We were not willing to change. We left CA. I had forgotten the good. Thank you for the reminder.

[@cbmathews0440]

Love seeing my back back yard (I live in Roseville) from the perspective of a foreigner on tour with a local. I’m always reminding my friends when we’re in these spots how special they are especially the eastern shore of Tahoe in the summer.

[@takenpictures]

Excellent series!!! You did an amazing job of showing the beauty of the northern part of the state. I'm a Ca native, lived most of my youth and early adulthood in the Bay Area. I get so enraged at all the crap people talk about Ca, online. Yeah, there's downsides, like politics, homeless, trashed landscapes. But there is also so much more beauty than all the negatives combined. I traveled the world while in the military and the country when I did a few years as a truck driver. One thing that taught me was, everyplace is what you make of it. California will always be my favorite state. Followed closely by all the other western and south western states. Thank you for all you do!

[@hearmenow909]

The crazy thing is, you're just exploring one state, and even then in the time you had you were only able to scratch the surface. Mind blowing.

[@jochen0501]

A very interesting series and an amazing episode. I have been to Bodie, Ca. back in the summer of 1990. I was 17 years old then and on holiday in the U.S... Greetings from Hannover, Germany.

[@Polulla]

Lake Tahoe seems so epic and the whole series have made me want to visit the west coast more than ever. Especially the natural parks are magical. Wish to see similar video series around USA. Cheers from Finland.

[@TheSkaterkids101]

I’ve lived in California my whole life and seen it all and Lake Tahoe is the best of the best I’m glad he saved it for last

[@StageRight123]

15:45 Ayyye, My house is just on the other side of that ridge in Kings Beach, CA. Also, yes. That winter 98-99 was MASSIVE! I was working at Alpine Meadows at the time.

[@MotherNatureKnowsBes]

Lake Tahoe looks so beautiful. Thank you for showing this.

[@buzzadams7876]

Your videos with Nana are the best!

Another great episode. I lived 10 winters at a ski town south of Lake Tahoe.Glad you showed one of the natural hot springs of the area.Beautifil country.

[@stevo091]

Hi, Peter and Natalya. Good video of California guys. Definitely want to make a visit there next year. Cannot wait for your next exploring.

[@FoodElitist]

Loved the content Peter, I just found your channel yesterday, already binged through the US episodes. I hope someday you’ll do a roadtrip in the states, because I love hearing your commentate and thoughts! peace from Hungary! Ati

[@anacoman3265]

I just discovered your Northern California series and watched all 8 episodes back to back in one sitting. I am a native northern Californian in my mid-80s who grew up in Healdsburg, Sonoma County, have lived all over the US and now live in Washington state. Your series was so very well done and so very nostalgic for me! In the late 1950s I spent a couple of summers in the Truckee/Tahoe area working in saw and planing mills while working my way through college. As a young adult I worked in downtown San Francisco for several years. I can't imagine a better introduction to my favorite city than your walking tour with Natalia! I would love for you to do another Northern California series that includes Sonoma, Napa and Mendocino Counties, as well as others farther north in the state.

[@scottbrandon9390]

Peter-Thanks for the eight part series. I miss a lot of those places in California.

[@haraka8123]

No doubt that the United States is a massive country with a lot of diverse environments and scenes. There are all kinds of wonderful and interesting places there.

[@Mrgunsngear]

Thanks

[@MerwinARTist]

When I was in my early teens .. my parents took us kids from our home in North Carolina .. all the way to California to visit my mom's parents and some cousins. We went to China Town as well as Lake Tahoe .. I got the worst sunburn on my shoulders and back .. blisters I had to suffer through all the way back home. The water was clean and clear .. amazingly clear! That was in around 1962. Amazing to see this and learn more about it.

I just finished all 8 episodes of your California tour with Nana. It was great. I liked watching them. Brought back a lot of good memories of road-trips I have taken in the past. I was born and raised in Sacramento. I was always up the hill at Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows.

[@TheMonkeyrock77]

I learned to snow ski on Squaw Valley. And get this, the place my Parents moved to when we came to Montana was called, Squaw Creek.

[@kanjoo1415]

I have watched all the episodes in this series, love your work, you have given a lot of information about these beautiful places in CA. Please give us more of these wonderful episodes from the USA. Best wishes and a truckload of love all the way from Pakistan.

[@catherinetreadwell5707]

I discovered your channel a week ago through your Appalachia series and all of your content is amazing! I was born and raised in NorCal and spent a lot of my time in Lake Tahoe growing up and these NorCal videos have been so fun to watch. Super cool getting to see your videos in an area I am familiar with and learning new fun facts along the way!

[@robertvalentine7623]

I have lived most of my life in Southern California and I have never been to some of the places you have shown me in your California road trip videos. Thanks, Peter.

[@debihurd9801]

I have loved your trip through my home state… I forget how diverse it is and how very lucky I am to live in a state that houses so many different terrains and cultures from the Mountains to the Valley to the Ocean to the desert… we can experience it all within a few hours drive in any direction. Especially when you live in the middle. We grew up in the San Joaquin Valley (Visalia) where my dad and his dad raise citrus. Navel oranges 🍊 predominantly. Everyone talks about wanting to leave, but actually it’s always been a pretty great place to call home!

[@fulfordpoint]

I very much loved this series of NorCal. You both did a great job filming and explaining through out all 8 episodes. I also the music you edited in.

[@bucktafoya4086]

Thanks for doing an excellent job sharing Northern California with the rest of the world. I am one of your Nor Cal homies, I grew up in Woodland, CA. All the places you shared are places I have been to as well, I think you did a perfect tour of our home. Thank you. I just discovered your work and I am hooked. By the way, Nana is beautiful and you two are beautiful together. Regards, Bucky Tafoya

Not sure if you made one, but I’d love a vid on your and Natalia’s love story! She’s soooo pretty and delightful! Great road trip buddy!

[@MommaOsoIrish67]

Every two years my mom and i would take a trip to together. Anytime we headed south, we live in Plumas County in NorCal, we would stop for a minute at Mono Lake, then dpend a night at Topaz Lake, before heading home through Reno. Our last trip together, we went to Bodie. It was so interesting. If you're back in Northern California, you should visit Lake Almanor and Chester, take a hike up to Mount Lassen, and also see the Shasta Caverns. The lava tubes ar Hat Creek are interesting as well.

[@derekjohnson77]

Enjoyed that a lot. South Lake Tahoe is a favorite of mine

[@MsNomzie]

I was born and raised in South Lake Tahoe. I've lived here all my life except for a few years when I lived in Europe. The most tragic thing about Lake Tahoe now is the complete lack of respect tourists have since Covid happened. This last 4th of July, some beaches were left like literally dump sites with tons of trash removed by locals the next day. I wish that the people who visit Lake Tahoe would show more care. It's gotten to the point that the tourist culture has slowly started to out weigh the benefits of living in Lake Tahoe, and many long time locals are moving because it just isn't a great place anymore.
