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!

[@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.

[@scottrousseau496]

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

[@fandarzelig]

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

[@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

[@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 😎

[@meganpeveich8407]

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

[@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.

[@lb221]

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

[@cindysaltel4153]

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.

[@amusementnow4416]

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

[@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”.

[@NurseHensley]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@theathjr]

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

[@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!

[@DannyD714]

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

[@freedomdove]

Thank you so much for taking us along, Justin.

[@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!

[@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.”

[@boispathis5161]

When will you go to the legendary Winchester mystery house ?

[@susanhansen1505]

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

[@sandinoyes3882]

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

[@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

[@shawnduffy8026]

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

[@stevelachappelle8571]

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

[@Elemiriel]

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

[@myfamilymatters]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@omarbarajas610]

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

[@blinkitphotography]

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

[@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

[@bpittridlah2383]

You gotta go all the way to the tree's of mystery, fern gully, Prairie Creek

[@Chieftracyhorse]

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

[@pappy4075]

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

[@boots8645]

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

[@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

[@ndeep45]

[@kylalady]

[@conniecrawford5231]

[@filipinogermenmexi]

[@NikiCanotas]

You are awesome. Editing is getting better Love the banter

[@evaespinosa1480]

[@evanhanks6929]

I love your videos and love the red woods

[@geraldpierini7124]

The last part of the video, was that I-5?

[@tedll75]

Awesome Video!! Makes me want to go see the area!

[@spaghettibeans]

When I was a kid in the 80's I swear I took a tour of that log home when it came to Massachusetts!

[@Dracoaurora]

I remember getting a Bilbo Baggins for President tshirt there when I was a kid.

[@doodwithacru]

So much history and attractions to see. Caverns, world's biggest trees Sherman centennial and Grant, haunted rock, nation's Christmas tree and old cabin, high lakes trails, many many more amazing trails, wild life, museum

[@donnytucker]

Those roadside places are so neat.

[@donnyvan6829]

I’d love to go see this stuff!! Thanks for showing us!!

[@karenmilligan5597]

Great job. Have been researching the area recently. Thanks.

[@ladysky_bri3075]

Great video Justin!!!

[@ElizaShakiraMassani]

Cool Vid I really need to visit the redwood forest one day

[@markbrookphelps0717]

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

[@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!

[@suzannescott3550]

Where to next? Love your videos!

[@jboy1262]

Liked it before i even watched it! Keep up the great work Justin 😁

[@jaybirdie1428]

"who knew thorns could be so mighty?" 😂😂😂 🤦‍♀️

[@brickmastag5262]

Thx for these awesome vids

[@daniellafferety4025]

I Like the holo trees, and hobbit hole. Very cute.

[@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.

[@GaryK2025]

Thanks for the memories 🤩🍦🍔🍟

[@jessesines5055]

The new and old owners of the chimney tree are actually friends that place was immaculate with the old owners I am friends with both of them we’ve all lived here our lives

[@danmarentette9986]

Love the video's 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍

[@tarafirma2212]

thank you for coming back to northern california! i love where i live!!!!!

[@princezzpuffypants6287]

I was so fast and I was still only the 8th like... Dude is popular for good reason. Keep it up Justin!

[@arthurherrera7703]

I wish I could go up there but thx for making this vid so I could just get a tast of it

[@jimmyggh1]

Awesome as always!

[@elizabethmoore2684]

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

[@707tinman707]

You have a fastrak??

[@rjmckenzie4706]

I love adventure eveything has a history and there very interesting, I'll vist one day.

[@gordonwchas]

Loved this one!

[@irisburelli5028]

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

[@richardcano2999]

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

[@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!

[@joycepollyanna8414]

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

[@NixPix]

What the heck did they pull that with?

[@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.

[@PrimephotoStudio]

Great video!

[@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.

[@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 ⛺️

[@trigun10]

red wood or wet wood. can you look at the size of the red wood trees. can you look at the size of the sassy squash.

[@terrybeckelheimer3633]

If you get old photos of Hobbiton please share them, this place must have been amazing in it's hay day.

[@zachmadeavideo]

Log in. That one made me genuinely laugh.

[@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

[@johnalvinbelarmino598]

First yehey new adventure in randomland

[@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.

[@trevorrandom]

Vlog in a log fabulous ☺

[@Davidpetty87]

I think he meant 48,000 lbs. (24 tons) not 48 tons (96,000 lbs) but I could be wrong

[@TheVloggerDude2018]

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

[@katec4369]

What fun!!

[@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.

[@disneyand1225]

Cool!

[@SorryThisChannelIsUnavailable]

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

[@doodwithacru]

You gotta plan a trip to Sequoia national Park or Kings canyon.

[@keltek77]

@JustinScarred check out the documentary Ringers: Lord of the Fans by TheOneRing.net. It's got a bunch of footage of from Hobbiton USA attraction. Still available on Amazon I think.
