I grew up in Trinidad too. We used to vacation at Deer Lodge (now Emerald Forrest) every summer and then my parents loved it so much they bought the park. We lived in Trinidad until 1982- the year I graduated from Mac High. My parents best friends owned Katy’s smokehouse at that same time. My father was a commercial fisherman. It was a wonderful time in my life. The best! We used to sneak into the lighthouse and hang out - now they moved it 😂- probably can’t do that anymore.

HEY,HEY, Happy 4th of July ,To Everyone, Thanks for taking us out today, RVerTV, Russ. TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL 👍💥🎉

[@rvertv]

You bet

[@dawndunn122]

Dear RVer . The Lighthouse used to be there, but they moved it down to where it is at because it was sliding down the hill a couple years ago when we got so much rain! And the research building Fred Telonicher is an extension of Cal Poly Humboldt. Very cool small museum to check out hopefully next time you see it! So Happy Independence day! Hope you enjoyed the Humboldt County experience! We love it here!

Love Pacific Coast Highway! Thank you!

Born and raised in Humboldt. I knew where he was just by the pic.😊

[@LisaNygard]

Trinidad is one of my favorite places on the California coast I especially love Agate Beach❤️

[@ggrace1133]

I grew up in Humboldt County. For those thinking of going there through redwood country, there are beautiful State parks for camping and day use with lots of trails to hike. Most are short, but a few are fairly long. Patrick’s Point State Park is just north of Trinidad and has a beautiful agate beach to walk down to. It has trails all throughout the park. We camped there more times than I can count, meeting people from all over the country and Canada. It’s so peaceful in a redwood grove…there’s a unique stillness there. Waking up to the smell of coffee brewing over a campfire and bacon frying-ahh, how I miss it. Such mighty, noble trees reaching for the sun while sheltering all the small, tender plants that carpet the forest floor stir one’s soul with everlasting memories. God did good when he created the redwood forest.

Happy 4th of July, everyone🎉. Great video, Russ. I love Roosevelt Elk and the Redwoods.

[@Dave-zj1zj]

The little boats are the dinghies to get them out to the boats that are moored, out in the ocean

Lived in Trinidad for 3 years. Great small town.

[@DannyShaw3388]

"From the redwood forest to the Gulf Stream waters", indeed, when are you going to take us to the gulf, Russ? LOL , Happy 4th.

[@Lisa24P]

Come by Cape Perpetua Visitor Center right on 101 to see our beautiful view when you get to Oregon. Would love to meet ya! Lisa

[@alejack12001]

Russ, another one of your better videos. The Trinidad beach made me feel like I was there and I like that feeling. Trinidad's residents have some really colossal rocks. I bet that restaurant must have some good crab meals. Again the videos of the redwoods were special with the trees growing so close to each other. I bet the smell of the redwoods were outstanding.

[@MySORRELL]

THANKS!

[@patriciad.2022]

Trees of Mystery is actually worth the stop. Inside the gift shop, is a great little museum full of Native American artifacts, which is free to explore.

Happy 4th of July! Wishing was out getting my scoop of avocado gelato. Ah well , next time get that snack and video viewing experience together!

[@alanlough638]

Kudos to your KZbin Channel, Russ! Happy Independence day to everyone! As for redwood trees, they need a lot of moisture, which is why they grow in northern CA and OR. Northern CA, OR, and Washington state have a lot of rain because the rain comes down off the Berring Straight. I believe that I'm correct about that, if not oh well I don't know everything. I wish you safe travels, Russ. Talk soon, Alan.

Excellent video. Your videos soothe my soul, thanks, Russ love the red wood 🪵 forests thanks again!!!!!

[@goodoakpress]

Beautiful video Russ. More memories of the road trip I took in 1975 with my parents. We were heading south, going from Portland to Phoenix, and I can remember us pulling over to the side of the road and walking around as well. There's nothing quite like walking through the giant trees. I don't recall the Paul Bunyan tourist trap. It must have come along later. Happy Fourth and thanks again for the memories.

[@ksr1177]

Another great video Russ. Happy 4th of July . Every time I watch your videos I want to take a road trip 😀. Thanks again.

Thank you too

[@tinab2]

Really enjoy the time capsule where I’ve been 20 years ago. They did move the replica lighthouse used to be up at the park. Orick also has a place called Fern Canyon. That’s a nice little hike through. The Paul Bunyan place in the redwoods, has a gondola ride. That’s well worth to take the sky view through the redwoods.

[@donnafriedt-gyulay3815]

I shared your adventure with my colleague, who now resides in FL. But, she loves ocean waves/surf sounds. And, then there's the elk viewing that my spouse and I missed in our "out West" travels several years ago. Gosh, thenk you, Russ ... for letting us travel with you. Safe journey!!

I have been living overseas for many years, but it was great to see the town where I grew up. I spent many hours fishing off the old pier, the new pier might be safer, but it lacks character.

Everyone should travel 101 from northern California through Washington!

101 to Raymond WA. Carriage Museum & Maritime Museum next to each other.

[@vernonbradshaw2290]

Russ I have been to the trees of mystery twice and it is a well worth place to see! lots of biG trees (one is called the cathederal tree) they hold weddings in it! also there is a tram that gives you a really nice view of everything, well worth it and definitley not a kids place!

[@daleebner4625]

Hope you’re going to stop at the Curley Redwood Lodge in Crescent city. Amazing, the entire lodge and furniture was made from one Redwood tree.

[@atypicalmotorcycle752]

Historic Trinidad fact; The sloped rock that appears first at 12:20 beyond the pier served as the town jail during the Gold Rush. A chilly night chained to a rock in the harbor could reform an outlaw's ways more effectively than a cot in the town hall. By the way, no fog / no redwoods.

Blown away literally by the fireworks all day up there. So many restrictions but not up there. Wild to be there on the 4th when we were there a couple of days ago

[@tanyabrown3919]

Prairie Creek State Park on the 101 after Orick and before Crescent City is where the movie Jurassic Park was filmed. 😊

[@lornaherlache1950]

There used to be parking on the left side of street facing the beach! We used to camp there overnight, I don’t think there is anymore free parking ! People used to leave their garbage which made it look terrible .

[@dougholtz]

I think there is a Paul Bunyan and Blue Ox statue in Northern Minnesota, maybe at the beginning of the Mississippi river Bemidji area. (Been a while since I was there.)

[@ktmcc4360]

Trinidad has some amazing history. Its full of too many short term rentals, kinna ruined the old hippie fisherman vibe. Anything Above the harbor w view is $1.5 - $4million. Its still seems to have a strong family root culture. I always stop on the way down to civilization from CC to get a coffee and just explore by walking. Such a beautiful hill.

[@tomr9661]

Should have taken Patrick Points Drive when you left Trinidad, you could have stopped by my brothers for a cup of coffee. That's one part of CA, where you want to get off the 101 and slow things down a bit.
