The Lost Coast Usal Road Mendocino California

[@red2004sox1]

I love Mendocino. It is always pretty up there even during foggy days.

[@pinklady6042]

I just love this. Time for me to get on my beautiful donkey, and take a ride trip.

[@clark57225]

I would like to join the two green frogs at the end of the video just enjoying this marvelous view you have preserved for us. Thank you.

[@markimatang]

Try kissing one.

[@clark57225]

@@markimatang I don't want the frog to croak.

[@Dune137]

I think the music is fine as is. Very light and happy.

[@denaredford6701]

Beautiful

[@markimatang]

@Vintage1976 It’s quite a bit south of Kenny. It starts on the Usal Road just south of Shoreline Rock and the last scene is the overlook to Usal beach.

[@humanbeing524]

Nice!! Loved the ending!

[@chiparoo222]

[@markimatang]

No - That's Jeremy

[@doughnutguy82]

did you take this road in the spring ? love to go there and camp but it has always been in falland didnt look this good.

[@grangeville46]

dammm that's some big fracking frogs....lol

[@markimatang]

Well now, do you have ANY idea what a license for Talk to me of Mendocino by Linda Ronstadt would cost? My guess is in excess of $10K.

[@johnkirkhoughton1]

Very cool. Thanks for sharing.

[@chortleboy]

I drove that road about 20 years ago...camped overnight and we were the only ones there besides the elk

[@scottyflintstone]

Thanks for posting this. Very prettt

[@markimatang]

I have a new version shot in 2013 that I will post as soon as I work out some false copyright claims. Look for it in a week or so.

[@2Ply789]

I don't have a cure for the double image or blur when panning or zooming with consumer quality HD video. I have the same problem so I don't do long pans anymore. I believe it was there in non-HD video too but not as noticeable do to the low res. I imagine the Professional cameras might not have that problem. Maybe a Pro will speak up. BTW, I will be on this road in a couple of days.. good video anyway!

[@adamfitzmaurice923]

Do you enter off of branscomb road?

[@markimatang]

No, you enter from Highway One a couple of miles north of Rockport. According to brnav.com/wordpress/?p=1927 “You pull off Highway 1 at about N39º 46.823′ W123º 49.894′”

[@markimatang]

@doughnutguy82 Yes, this was taken late April 2010. It’s absolutely spectacular in the spring but in April it’s still very wet, 4 WD advised. It’s still nice in May and not quite so wet. I’ll do another video this spring concentrating on the critters and flowers, but if you would like to see more of the road here are some outtakes - watch?v=AkN1aQcPxOI (The full URL is in the discription).

[@michaelgursal3147]

nice road that's why not home side by side.

[@12345678poopie]

i come here to go middin every year its a good spot

[@Nash1965H]

Very nice.

[@SRSOS1]

I've walked that road many, many times.

[@SRSOS1]

@Hal Fread Horse Mt Creek trail from up on top of King Peak Rd. is a nice hike. Shoreline is great there, from Black Sand Beach to the south all the way up to Gitchell Creek to the north.

[@stephenchristian5739]

its hard 2 believe this road still even exists especially after massive rains (several seasons) some years ago & recently & I HAVEN'T KNOWN ABOUT IT ..BECAUSE I KNOW EVERYTHING

[@4bunion]

I once wheeled my 80's supra out there, good times :)

[@QuadTubeChannel]

More areas of the USA need to be protected from the increasing urban sprawl, including California and the South West. The problems caused by mass immigration and resource consumption shouldn't be brushed under the carpet, and troops should be brought home to defend American interests, history and values instead of fighting wars overseas. For what is left of your land, is a priceless commodity; something many other countries have lost through globalisation and their own complacency.

[@mobilemoke]

Those frogs are not native to the Coast those are himalain green belly frogs known to frequent the area of Sacramento

[@markimatang]

Well I don’t know where in the world they might have originated but I found them in Westport California about 3/4 mile from the ocean.

[@Hendrix.]

California is Awesome Nice video

[@magdalenafilolittlemariast6955]

Nice nice

[@Pinetree98]

Right On!

[@ceconk123]

0:49 weed growing on the roadside

[@jonmacdonald5345]

ceconk123 Looked like Ferns to me! lol

[@SRSOS1]

@@jonmacdonald5345 Yep. Ferns. While "weed" would grow right there, it would most likely be stunted. You have to go east a valley or two away from the ocean, for ideal cannabis growing conditions. Much hotter in those valleys in the summer than on the coast.

[@camman6912]

what about all the pot heads?

[@jonmacdonald5345]

Don Dressel You should be more concerned about the Meth heads instead lol!

[@canderson2526]

hehe - large too!

[@JohnDoe-wy1yd]

Let's pave it and put a strip mall on it.

[@SurfStr0ng]

Giant Frogs!

[@flagwaver1969]

Bad critique. Linda Ronstadt is terrible.
