It's amazing, I've lived in Northern California all my life, but it's easy to get caught up in your daily life and forget the beauty available. Thank for motivating me to get out there again.

[@MasyyabRaza]

I’m in love with this beautiful country 😍

[@worldprinces13]

When my best friend and I moved to Oregon from LA area and lived in my car for a bit in 2018 the very first night after we left we slept in my car in that very parking lot you're eating breakfast in at 4:38. I'd recognize it anywhere. Brings back such great memories and is crazy to see it here lol. We got there at night and didn't see the view until 5am when the sun rose. The beauty of Big Sur changed my life.

[@ai.201]

California is so beautiful

[@norwegianblue2017]

Central California is the best of both worlds of northern and southern California in terms of natural beauty. It also has a lower population density so that it is easier to enjoy that natural beauty. Having drinks on the grass at Ventana Big Sur, overlooking the coast, you feel like a God on Mount Olympus. Something magical about that place.

[@henryhorton9240]

"Hate to be the old guy who sez: My first trip to Big Sur was Jan. 1960 with a buddy and fellow architecture buff to see Nathanial Owen's (of Skidmore Owens and Merril fame) house, Wild Bird. Other highlight of that trip was being picked up by Henry Miller on Partington Ridge in the rain to get us back to the highway. Wow 60 years ago. Even Big Sur changes yet still behind the times...Thanks for the memories.

[@wolfgangk2824]

Remember the times of the hippies there? And the VW micro bus? And Esalen...

[@henryhorton9240]

@@wolfgangk2824 yeah I remember on that first trip stopping at Slates hot springs well before it became Esalen. Sitting in the old bathtubs. Hot water and fog and sea gulls and surf crashing below. As to hippies my buddy owned the 350 acre ranch above what later became the nude beach at San Gregorio 11 mi south of Half Moon Bay and I lived there for a while and used to see Further, Ken Kesey's bus come down Hiway 84 from La Honda and turn south on Hiway 1 heading to Santa Cruz of a weekend. Had two microbuses in my day which i gardened out of for a living. BTW If you are familiar or aren't with that intersection go on Google Earth and do street view where the rads connect. If you look north or east u will see trees towering over the roads. Walter planted trees where there was only chapparel and eroding hillsides for 50 years and i helped him there from 56 to 66 before heading north to be the head gardener at Heritage House on the Mendocino Coast. Gives me a boost here in my 80s in North Carolina to visit that forest I helped create.

[@PeterSantenello]

Haha! You out "old guyed me." Living in California at that time must have been special.

[@henryhorton9240]

@@PeterSantenello I lived in the Bay Area 56 to 66 and heard a number of times "You should have been here in the 30s."

@@PeterSantenello When we lived there we did not realize we were privileged and it was special, and we thought it will always be that way, and we would never get old. Reading Steinbeck and London keeps the memory alive.

[@EricAndradeMusic]

I've lived in California my hole life. It's undeniably beautiful. The problem is we get bad press because of our politics. The drive into Kern and Inyo County at Sunrise is incredible. Epic mountain ranges, wild horses, cattle on peoples farms, ect.

[@lorriecrow7872]

Why? We are very environmentally conscious believe it or not.. We respect our green and rural areas for the most part.. But of course there idiots all over the world.

I loved your beautiful story. What a special gift, to ride with the hawks. One of my favorite memories of camping is. 3 days in the clouds. Up in the Sequoia's, hiking and camping with clouds cover to the ground. It was magical, early spring so had to keep an ear out for bears. Because you sure weren't gonna see them.

At 8:27. Look at that view. Some of these cabins might date back to the 1930s. There was a bit of a Bohemian lifestyle in Big Sur. A lot of artists lived there and it was a cheap place to live. Edward Weston and Charis Wilson lived in Big Sur.

[@jimmymccracken9702]

Peter check out @ 1:00 something like a big lizard type animal comes out of nowhere and runs to the ocean, I was raised in Paso Robles about 3o miles away so I know the Hirst Castle area etc, but check it out, it runs to fast for a seal

Such a great representation of my home state. To think I was less than an hour away from you probably most of my life is crazy! Great job again Peter

[@Sovereign_Citizen_LEO]

You've been gone too long (or just didn't know). But landslides from rainy season took out entire long sections of Highway 1 and put them into the ocean. That is why the tunnel is there (completed only in 2019 I believe). An even worse one happened last year (and now you cannot even get to Southern Big Sur (impassible). They are working on it, but it is going to be a years long and massively expensive project. Great video though - as always.

[@rcppop3090]

Nothing better then watching the sunrise on the coast then drinking a sixer smoking a splif and fishing. Then if the fog burns off take a nap in the sunshine. 🤣

Big Sur looks geographically very similar to some parts of the South Eastern coasts of Australia. Trees are a bit different though.

[@PeterSantenello]

Interestingly enough all of the eucalyptus trees in California are from Australia. They came over during the Gold Rush time of 1849.

Hey now. Wait a sec. You were in Big Sur on this one, which is south of Monterey. Why didn't you stop there? That was my old stomping grounds. You've got Santa Cruz with the boardwalk, then Sea Cliff with the cement boat, then Monterey itself. So much beauty and you pasted by it all. I'm dissapointed.

I would love that !

[@AdrianaRudakov]

Hey, you should do one on the Tri-valley area in SF Bay Area. We live here and my American friends from other states think that SF Bay Area has the image of downtown SF. You should do the East side of the Bay Area. Danville has the restaurant where they filmed Mrs. Doubtfire, Bridges. Dublin has a Irish butter museum and company, but the center of Dublin has a concentration of Chinese, Indians and other Asians. In between, Pleasanton and Livermore (across San Francsico Outlet Malls), there is a big modern mall with foods from different parts of Asia. They opened the mall about 1 year ago. I recommend the Japanese Tataki Ice cream. There is the Car Museum in Blackhawk Museum (they have more than cars. They have a nice African, American Wild West and Chinese exhibit with copies of the terracota warriors from the tombs of important folks in China). It is inside of an almost ghost mall (Blakchawk), but beautiful and well cared place with a little man made waterfall and calm ducks, goose and swans that you can feed. It is an interesting place to explore for a video. It is a contrast to the SF downtown.

Craaazy, out of the many many times I’ve been to Pheifer Beach, I have only been once where there wasn’t purple sand.

[@Montezuma0]

The reason why some hillsides have trees and others are more barren isn’t because of the fog. They both get the same fog. It’s just that the barren hillsides face south where they get more sun exposure that dries out the soils.

One, I love Big Sur, and the "Gold Coast" (or Tri counties) of SLO, SB and Ventura, but I still find the Lost Coast (the far north near Redwoods) the "most" beautiful. Two, CA residences can check out park passes at local libraries to get free access to the state parks like Pfeiffer. Hey, would have saved you $12.00.

I lived in California for 50 of my 62 years and never paid for parking. Some you need to pay for only if you use their parking lot. Highway1 in that area is always under repair and often closed for long periods of time. Between Santa Cruz and Pacifica are the best beaches.
