Lifelong resident of this area. Thanks for posting this & glad you enjoyed your stay!

[@brandonsteinle4138]

Dude! I love these videos. Where you can just listen to the sounds of camping. It’s peaceful. I always like watching your videos when I’m Preparing for a long motorcycle trip.

[@billroberts9182]

Me and my daughter's and favorite camping park is Richardson Grove State Park. Your tent is pitched under HUGE redwood trees. Deer. Great swimming in an adjacent river. Thx

[@charlesbradley2943]

Peaceful. Desert man appreciates the green forest and water. Doesn’t get any better. Love it & thank you.

[@halmcclain3322]

As always, you are the Master of all things moto-film!

[@Whitney62455]

he missed "The Avenue of the Giants" and the beach outside of Ferndale (where the movie The Majestic) was filmed. Guess ya can't see it all. There is so much to see in Northern California. Great video.

[@JohnDoe-xm9ql]

Doesn't get any better than this.. Thanks again Sterling

[@skandanderson9739]

All of my favorite moto-camping adventures have been on that stretch of coastline. Redwoods, rugged coast… can’t beat it.

[@GSAirTherapy]

Sterling…. I’m just in awe watching this episode. Really beautiful work. Thank you for all the work you’re putting into taking us along!

[@BallardBaller]

Thank You... I've only been on the west coast for 5 years, and only ridden bikes here for 2.. but this ride is my happy place, and I appreciate you showcasing it

[@letitrest4662]

Sterling I'm leaving this Tuesday, day after tomorrow from 30 miles southeast of Atlanta, riding my FJR1300a. My destination, a week or more after that is Seattle, where I'll visit my son.California and the Redwood Forest are in the journey, although I seldom make a concrete plan, as that sometimes has me distracted. After following a spiritual calling that led my life on behalf of workers, my mind is still very open to the world around me. I'm nearly 63 now, and very little truly gives me inspiration any more, other than traveling through the wind with natures art gallery to touch my life. It's why I so appreciate the quality and thoughtfulness that you put into your video content. I can watch your travels when I'm unable to experience the same things you're doing. It keeps me going. It gives an old man hope for our future in America, and I'm renewed and ready for the next day and hopeful for my next possible journey. No expectations just an adventurous heart open to the world. My only fear is that when I get to the west coast again and stop to enjoy the grandeur of the Pacific Ocean, that I won't have the courage to leave and trek on. Best Wishes my friend from a fellow soul journeyman.

[@SterlingNoren]

Thank you so much for the soulful and thoughtful comment!

[@Highlandwolf2sas]

Loved this one ... Why ?... Simplicity no more no less. We all of us dream of our own “Adventures” no matter what they are, life is what you make of it we all need to take time out from social pressures to be what others want of us ...To be who we truly are.... Thanks for showing us the Hill....How about we Go climb it guys 🤔 🥰.....🥃🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@djangowoods3866]

You’re in my neck of the woods! Some world class riding around here…always enjoy your work!

[@reinmansmith]

So beautiful and peaceful 😊

[@verbalwidget0919]

Beautiful video sterling, I did a bucket list trip through the Redwoods and Yosemite this year before heading to the east coast beaches. The Redwood need to be experienced on two wheels, the smells, moisture and enormity of the Redwoods truly mystical. Thank you.

[@gdroege44]

Great video! You are a professional at what you do. We always enjoy your content. 🏆

[@rickgermain7802]

Riding through those Redwoods is how I hope the hereafter will feel if I’ve lived a good life… Great film as usual in all dimensions, technical, artistic, subject.

[@SterlingNoren]

Amen brother!

[@rush85297]

What a great video. You encompass the feeling I get when I motorcycle travel and camp. I’m subscribing. Thank you

[@glennsmith1040]

Great video Sterling as always. Glad you're enjoying the west coast. Thanks.

[@murraehaynes3182]

A beautiful area that we’ve ridden in and been to various times. I camped there in the ‘60’s when I was hitchhiking the west coast. Revisited on motorcycles in the early 2000’s.

[@markgatward8765]

Mash potatoes in thermos. What a great idea. I ordered the cooler and thermos myself, looking forward to using myself. Great cinematography as always.Thanks Sterling.

[@tcat0211]

Wow brings back memories of my last stay in Sequoia national park... almost 40yrs ago😂 I stood in some of the exact spots on PCH1. Thank you for the nostalgic reminders!

[@pigeonpallz1733]

Your amazing. I dont know why but i feel like i can never have my stuff together as organized and just man well done. My problem is i over think everything then by the time i get the guts to get out i rush because i dont want to talk myself out of well adventure. Your videos and honesty are a big part of what help me have the confidence to atleast try. Thank you

[@jetskiaddict]

I took a trip the past 2 years through that area, it's such a nice ride. Great video

[@BigRigRich]

Great views. Thanks for sharing.

[@troygalbraith625]

Once again this video shows you are the best motorcycle cinematographer on KZbin, excellent work thank you

[@jalex19100]

Great video/photography work, and even some excellent tips on how to use the same container to mix food and store leftovers, shake out dirt from the tent and wrap guy lines. The way you camp and travel made the whole experience look amazing. Thanks!

[@mweingar]

Love it. I did a ride from Rogue River, OR to the Coast and down the Avenue of the Giants to the Bay area to visit my grandkids just a few weeks ago. It's an amazing ride with beautiful scenery all the way to about 150 miles North of the Bay Area itself when you hit population centers. Took my Multistrada Rally. Love the videos, and especially the cinematography Sterling. Great work!

[@mweingar]

One more thing: if you choose to ride the Avenue of the Giants and are in need of a place to stay, I chose the Miranda Garden Resort in Miranda right on the Avenue. Great location with cute cabins of various sizes. It's not the cheapest choice but great when you want a roof over your head for the night.

[@mjerse50]

You inspire me us and all people who love moto riding and camping I learn this simple life from the way you are doing and sharing Nicely done ✅🔥🎶🌿🏍🇨🇦

[@cabanamike274]

Love this. I just returned from a trip along the northern coast of oragon into washington. There the beaches are similar with the craggy rocks on them where the forests stretches right to the sea are otherworldly. Such a site to behold. Thank you for doing what you do.

[@enduromotorradtouren]

Your episode conveys the sombre mood in those forests. Great stuff! Your travel films are so much more than seen it tick off my bucket list. Günter/Nürnberg

[@Liberty4Ever]

Gorgeous! Thank you for sharing. In the 80s, a friend and I went rock climbing in California. We had been driving a long distance and stopped to camp at 2 AM in some wildlife area that was apparently used primarily for snowmobiles in the winter. It was pitch black and we stumbled into the woods, threw up the tent and collapsed. We awoke the next morning in a redwood forest. It was like awakening in the Land That Time Forgot. We recalled stumbling over football sized objects on the way to camp in the pitch black the night before. Those were redwood pine cones. The redwood forest was an awe inspiring experience. I felt small, but not insignificant. The majesty of the giant redwoods is magical.

[@SterlingNoren]

Cool story! I’ve had a lot of nights where I’ve set up camp in the dark, and then been amazed at where I was at when the sun came up.

[@yowser8780]

>"We recalled stumbling over football sized objects on the way to camp in the pitch black the night before. Those were redwood pine cones. " Eh ? Nope. Redwood cones are tiny, about the the size of your thumb nail. Redwoods only grow in the low-lying fog belt along the coast. Football sized cones probably were from a Sugar Pine.

[@Liberty4Ever]

@@yowser8780 - Interesting. I clearly remember the huge pine cones that were the length of a football but with less girth, and we definitely camped in huge towering conifers but I don't remember exactly where it was in California. I have freakishly long arms and I couldn't wrap my arms halfway around the circumference of the trees, but I don't remember those huge pine cones where we camped in the woods. They were in the short hike from the parking lot into the woods. I found an image online comparing Seed Cones Of California Pines, and the sugar pine cone looked like what I remembered. According to Wikipedia, the sugar pine has a trunk diameter up to eight feet. Large as that is, it's a little smaller than I remember, but close enough that I can chalk it up to the imprecision and fallibility of human memory. The sugar pine range stretches through much of California.

[@kveldskjetomc]

As usual, a very good video. Thank you for making great videos for us to enjoy. Greetings from Norway

[@SterlingNoren]

Thank you very much!

[@scoutadv4568]

That's a new buck list ride for me. Thank you for sharing, Sterling!

[@t0m0tech]

Sterling, you are my favorite motorcycle traveller/reporter. Thank you and Happy Birthday!

[@bemerk1200]

I only ride there in the winter, campgrounds are mostly closed. Lot of nice days just not warm. Not much traffic is a plus.

[@kseniiaadv]

Love these trees! Most beautiful part of California. Thanks for such a grounding video. Huge respect to your filming/editing style 🙏

[@rodhoover9158]

You inspired me Sterling. I will take 1 moto camping trip each month 1-2 days each. Grateful for your inspiration.

[@samhill3496]

Really good vid Stirling. The music selection was spot on. Oh, I've ran a bunch of that. More than very impressive. Both car and motorcycle had tree sticking out both sides. And a camera, well there's more tree than I had camera. Sometime check beyond the boundary and see the stumps with smaller ones growing. There are miles of them. I wonder what it was like when the first residents arrived. When I was ayoung and up to say 25 yrs. old I built a lot of houses with redwood in the framing anf trim. Several places and my house have redwood 2x12 steps and stringers. Very common then. Clients made me paint it white. So sad.

[@SterlingNoren]

Uggghh!!! I’ve sanded lots of paint off of mahogany and other fine woods in my lifetime.

[@rolandwheeler4842]

Wonderful video! My wife and I did that same route back in the 80s on our Goldwing. Only problem with your videos, Sterling, is that they aren't long enough!

[@darrellkinkade9205]

Thanks again Sterling as you continue to out do yourself!!!

[@monsterslayer4317]

Born and raised in Humboldt. Makes me very homesick. Nice vid. Thanks!

[@hennymirch2813]

Beautiful. Thankyou for sharing this with us =)

[@larryambrose5078]

Awesome Vid! We are camped at Eureka Elks in my 5th Wheel RV. We are northbound from So. CA on Hwy 1 and the 101. Alaska or Bust!

[@canadiantechprep]

Those drone shots are great. Nice work.

[@GarySchechner]

Perfectly captured! I was there this past summer on my GS and the Sue Meg campground is wonderful. Safe travels !

[@Ben47471]

Thanks for sharing the name of the campsites and roads, half the reason I watch travel videos is to get ideas for my trips but a lot of people dont tell where they are at. I do understand that some places need to be kept a secret but it is nice to know where it is your look at too

[@anturadventure3642]

Great episode. Haven't seen red woods since I was a kid. I'd love to go up as an adult. Especially with my motorcycle.

[@chamade166]

Your camp is next level and then combined with the filming it seems a very streamlined and fine tuned process. Impressive. It’s interesting you just stuff the tent/fly/tarp into the drybag…I think I learned something as I spend too much time trying to get it dry and folding it into the original bag.

[@RaptorPackAdventures]

Did you come through Grants Pass, Oregon? That’s our home town. We were just over in the Redwoods yesterday. We can’t ride through the Redwoods enough. That area on Highway 101 near Crescent City has been under construction for years now. We’re just used to it now. Your video is awesome. Thanks for taking us along for the ride

[@rogermeyer860]

❤The Redwoods...i plan on doing similar trek South from Grants Pass in a few weeks. Hoping tent spot is avail in Jedidiah SP which i stayed at a few years ago. If not I'll keep on a truckin' or may divert back to O'Brien and over to Happy Camp/Klamath River...

[@donochaehm8497]

Paman Noren sehat selalu dan jangan lupa untuk selalu berhati-hati dalam berkendara, Salam dari Indonesia 🙏

[@MatOutdoors]

You are doing a great job, your videos are very interesting. Thanks ❤️‍🔥🔥😎👌

[@detch5307]

I hadn't seen this one before...AWSOME! This is motorcycle riding and nature at its best. What a cool campsite.

[@SterlingNoren]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@marcoluoma3770]

Thanks for another serene and scenic episode. I so look forward to each installation. Thanks again..

[@SterlingNoren]

Enjoy!

[@wanderlustjohn]

Thanks for this video Sterling...I visited and camped in Crescent City a couple years back and this video was very nostalgic...there is nothing like those trees. I love your content and very much appreciate you continuing to inspire us all to get out there.

[@guyonacub4335]

I have learnt a bit more today having watched this video Making time to chill at the end of the day is very important Thanks

[@SterlingNoren]

Perfect!

[@RealHooksy]

Great place to ride. That last campground was amazing. Thanks for showing us mate 👍

[@alainmichaud6747]

great video as usual and fantastic campsite i like the set-up with the tarp , there a nice redwood forest before you get to Tofino , BC... fantastic place also

[@53tom93]

Brilliant video Sterling. I could sit and watch this exact relaxing content for hours! Keep it up

[@Hogdriver88]

That redwood forest is amazing - what a place to camp. Can you tell us about the hanging tarp that you used here?

[@ThreeStreets42]

Beautiful! I am from the deep south, and riding the California cost is very much on my bucket list!

[@SterlingNoren]

You should!

[@peanutbutter4829]

Sterling! your cooking like a mother without the Ragu! Nice work, very enjoyable

[@Pierrelaliberte]

Great video that brings back so many fantastic memories of these areas. Seeing a large redwood tree for the first time kind of totally redefined what a tree is really like. I am fortunate enough to live just a day or two away from the Oregon coast and will be planning another ride in early September once the hordes of tourists on the coast are thinning out a bit. Keep bringing these beautiful videos, I can't get enough of them!

[@lsimpson50]

Beautiful

[@JG-fi8sq]

So perfect , I've done highway 1on my Harley and it brings back so many great memories.

[@SterlingNoren]

Good to hear!

[@tobeyvos1]

loved the mood of this one and the cooking as always! Thank you for the amazing content and inspiration.

[@tinytim9413]

Hi Nick The Eldorado sounds good! Nice bark from the mufflers. I love the Moto Guzzi music.

[@joegass2025]

Great video Sterling. Brought back a lot of good memories. Looking forward to more vids from Nor Cal. Thanks

[@evarupertriding]

Beautiful video honey! Bravo! 🌲💚

[@ben8jam]

Thanks for posting, really enjoyed it. Love how organized you are!

[@mikemills5144]

Oh man that looks incredible. One of the things on my Riding List is to ride my bike through a Red Wood tree. Too bad you could not stay another night, seemed like a lot of work to set all that up and leave the next morning.

[@shivu1298]

It's Peaceful

[@robertgullickson8758]

Great cooking ideas too. I enjoy your videos Thank you

[@rovercooter]

Nice... inspiring capture..

[@moppedbuaontour]

What a wonderful video👍

[@The_Happy_Malamute]

Awesome footage Sterling, a true artist.

[@lpete531]

Beautiful scenery, thanks for sharing the red woods, it's amazing. Be safe 🙏🏾

[@feline-n6b]

Beautiful scenery

[@JacobAnawalt]

Great cinematography, great shots, and story telling as always. I liked how you did the rain fly tarp for the motorcycle.

[@SterlingNoren]

Thanks a lot!

[@scudrunneradv3269]

Ahh, perfect Sunday morning. Went to the chicken coop collected fresh eggs. Threw some bacon on the cast iron skillet and scrambled some eggs. Added my homemade salsa from my organic garden and wrapped it all up in a organic low carb tortilla. Fresh cup of coffee. Feet up living vicariously through Sterlings lens. Thank you Sterling for another great start to my week.

[@SterlingNoren]

Love it!!

[@dankorolyk5917]

Outstanding roads and vistas

[@kyu-jitsu]

Very beautiful video!

[@cfrias99]

Great video. Thanks for sharing.

[@JasonBWSBKMotoAmerica]

Thanks bud that was relaxing I appreciate it!

[@northidrecluse2306]

Glad to see that the Redwoods are still standing. Great photography as usual and I especially enjoyed the quiet natural sounds during the second half. A picture speaks a 1000 words, and the sounds of nature round it out. It’s always great to hear a crackling wood fire, it takes me back to so many places of my youth 👍🏻

[@SterlingNoren]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@KPP365]

Thank you for posting. Great video.

[@costofexpansebrain8025]

Those campsites are exactly my idea of what they should do here in Western Australia. This video makes WA look bad.

[@danielsouthern411]

Awesome awesome video

[@motocampphoenix1708]

Awesome camp here.🏍⛺👍

[@PeteHuisenga]

You should do a video on just your cooking methods and how you come up with such good meals while camping on a motorcycle

[@foisalgazi4097]

Great video, enjoyed it.

[@prophet8photo]

Another great video!

[@schmittbox7616]

Dropping down Last Chance Grade before Trees of Mystery was my commute for 5 years. It can be the most beautiful drive ever or terrible, weather dependent. Robert Pirsig hit it on a bad day. If you haven’t left Humboldt County yet, hopefully you hit the Wildcat Road and check out the Lost Coast. I’m hoping you have some input on the Northern California BDR. Great content! Have fun and ride safe! DS Fortuna

[@SterlingNoren]

Lost coast is coming up soon!

[@p.a.93]

After breakfast morning oats, you took off for a walk and I thought to myself "Does a bear shit in the woods?"....
