Emma you are so beautiful even when you are sick, I hope you will get well soon. Alex you are a funny guy and I enjoy watching your videos but Alex Please take care of Emma

[@maryannmazur8180]

Hello this is Mary Ann from South Jersey USA here I go leaving another comment love your videos I am so envious that you drove across the Golden gate bridge I'm 76 years old and I've never seen the bridge yet thank you so much for sharing have a great day I am so sarcastic most people take what I say the wrong way but oh well it's who I am I'll never change have a great day bye for now

[@ritamcgregor9103]

Yes, they return to where they were hatched for a last hurrah and then die. Been loving your American trip! :)

[@biggib2222]

Wow! Emma pronounced Oregon correctly. Nobody outside of Oregon gets it right, and she’s from across the pond. Well done Emma! (I’m a born and raised Oregonian).

[@ianmarks4481]

I don't know why KZbin recommended this video, but I grew up a stone's throw from Muir Woods (you're mispronouncing it charmingly, BTW), and even worked there briefly after high school. Likewise, Muir Beach was the site of some of my finest teenage adventures. I'd hate to tell you what I got up to in one of the little houses you see perched above the sand. I haven't been back to either in 40+ years. Suddenly I'm feeling wistful...

[@jlm4455]

Muir Beach is a spot I know well. Before the madness of past year, I was there once a month or so running on trails from Tennessee Valley to Muir and back. It is still lovely but some steep trails. Especially climbing out of Muir beach.

What a life you two lead. I have gone back and watched much of your older video's and they are just as magnificent. Though you both look much younger. I cannot imagine not getting up and going to an office everyday, slogging through traffic (Seattle traffic sucks) chained to a desk and endlessly repeating that routine as my hair turns gray and start to thin and my waistline just keep expanding and reminding me just how much life has been sucked out of me. In other words, I envy the both of you. Unattached to all of the material possession that trap us into these lives of desperation and dissatisfaction. Gotta make that boat payment tough and get the kids through Uni....😍😍😍😍 I love you Beans.

[@peternowicki139]

You guys are great. The dead pheasant reminded us of Python’s “Dead Parrot”. Ty

[@jlm4455]

My neck of the woods ....Marin Headlands, Stinson beach area/Mt Tam are indeed amazing. So glad you two highlighted this area. Many tourists come to San Francisco and very few cross the Golden Gate into the parks. Did you know? This area saw the birth of mountain biking and is a trail running Mecca. It has the 2nd oldest foot race in America: the Dipsea race. Also during the Cold War, Marin Headlands (Muri Beach is right on the edge) was an early warning site. All sorts of old tunnels, military stuff scattered throughout Headlands. I wish I'd known about your channel earlier (just found it). Definitely would've offered to show you some sights. If you ever come back (if we ever get close to normal here again), Sonoma County is a hidden gem. Has everything you could want, wine, coast, redwoods, great food and some of the best beer in America. Mendocino County is another lovely place, also has a stunning coastline and redwoods.

Sorry Emma wasn't feeling well that day, otherwise you guys should push north a bit further. Stinson Beach and Point Reyes are both beautiful. The view from Point Reyes lighthouse is spectacular. Point Reyes lighthouse is about 40 miles north from Muir Beach. If you are a fan of old Hitchcock movie, you definitely should go further north for about 30 miles, to Bodega Bay, famous because of the 1963 movie "The Birds". The movie was actually filmed there, and several locations such as the schoolhouse and the church are still there.

[@Lobo4ever]

All along this stretch, there's some great camping, too, including spots right on the beach.

[@crocmandarin]

After walking through Muir Woods, I always go to the Pelican Inn, just a short walk away. It's an English style hotel with a pub that serves bitters. There is also a great restaurant. Sp surprised you didn't go.

[@mindyraether]

Your footage and editing are television network worthy. Along with your personalities. Watching this in June 2022 I wonder if she had Covid. So many people look back to that Dec 2019 - Feb 2020 timeframe with suspicion at their colds and allergy symptoms, including my sister and husband.

[@mindyraether]

And I know it’s years later but I still feel for you was want to give you hot chocolate and chicken soup.

[@ceooflonelinessinc.267]

Thank you, I was there too!

[@ladymc2021]

I have been to Northern CA to the Red woods several times when I was young and also this place you are right IT IS MAGICAL! 😍😍😍

[@cindyrichelderfer7625]

Yes 😊 the fishy’s spawn back in home to where they were born. Glad you got to see more of the Redwoods. Wish you could of made it further north to The Valley of the Giants 😊 but there’s always next time. Aren’t they beautiful!!!. Travel safe and as always we’re looking forward to your next video❤️Beansssssss Out 🥰

[@wilburcomafay9385]

Woderful! Vlog! Fresh air through the woods. I Love the trees and the ocean too

[@norahjarman6156]

Just found you from your chat with the Gallivanting Gals, and now I’m a subscriber. We were fortunate to visit Muir Woods ten years ago. We loved it. Glad you are home at the moment. Keep well.

[@toobydude41]

Magnificent guys. Hope you feel better if you're not by now Emma. Great shot @7:20 :)

[@jadecummings8093]

Wow, this is so beautiful here, great adventure video, you guys....it's so inspirational! 😀👍

[@bengalishaw2889]

You 2 are so inspirational 🖒🖒

[@discojelly]

Yay!!! Muir Woods! Coming from Texas I was blown by that place! I wanted to hop the fence a live there in the forest..lol pretty amazing place!

[@ronan531]

I love Northern California !

[@ruiyuandong1398]

Wow, you guys actually drove thru my neck of the woods! 0:16 I can clearly identify that big curve on Northbound I-280 right outside SFO (San Francisco International Airport). Throughout your California trip video, this is the closest point to my home, only 40 miles away.

[@lynnesears6254]

I believe you are correct about the salmon returning to the place that they were hatched to lay their own eggs. Nice video. :-)

[@TravelBeans]

I wish we would have been able to see them.. but after we left, I read that the salmon are now endangered and at risk of not returning to Muir Woods 😔

[@robinhood7874]

CLINIC IN MY DAY REGULAR BASIS AND THE OTHER DAY

[@nuuya]

@3:30 If you ever have been to the Redwood NP+SP in northern california, you've been probably right. Muir woods is 10% of Sequoia or the Redwood Forest 500km up north. If you see this trees for the first time, it is great. But nothing beats Sequoia and especially the Redwoods, my all time favorite park. And no, salmons don't swim back to the ocean after laying eggs. They die.

[@outlawd1]

So your where I never got to go and that Forest looks awesome, California has got so much to see like Sasquatch ya know Bigfoot. Your in their neighbor Hood. Great video get well soon.

[@betsyduane3461]

Muir sounds like pure Named after naturalist John Muir, who was born Scottish and died in CA.

[@jlm4455]

Yes it is.

[@ATrainTravels]

Good stuff.

[@sergiobasilioli384]

Yeah Americans are nice people.

[@tzazarizona2676]

Salmon die after laying their eggs, it's end of one life and beginning of the new.

[@joshuaratliff3009]

You should go to the TL at dusk.

[@chrisdickinson3168]

That place looked stunning. Are those paid for parks a bit like the US version of the UKs national trust?

[@mountainhobo]

Yes, but there are many free parks with equally gorgeous nature. It's just that parking facilities will be more rudimentary, and trails often narrow, winding, rocky or muddy. To be honest, I prefer that latter type of parks because there are far fewer people. ;)

[@joanhall3718]

Yes the salmon will travel back to the small tributaries where they were born to lay their eggs.

[@webbess1]

What's the song that starts a 3:41 ? "We've got time on our side..."

[@tonytiangco]

The salmon die after they lay their eggs

[@maggiestahl6003]

No beans out?

[@TheBudgeteers]

Guy's I think you we're too busy presenting, but if you actually look back carefully at 2:19 you can actually a see a salmon swimming in the bottom right of the screen.....(you're welcome)

[@TravelBeans]

a talking salmon.. they're evolving!

[@vintagemoss9578]

The salmon run is in the fall.

[@honee2short200]

Salmon go back to where they were born (they remember) to lay their eggs, and then they die.

[@sadmadworld8889]

They were not pointlessly swimming

[@PEPPER2323]

Being friendly is a n American culture thing.

[@tonys1636]

Redwoods are common in the South of England, not quite as tall as Californian ones as were imported by Victorians so are much younger. Salmon die after spawning (females) or fertilising (males) the eggs so never see the sea again. They are around seven years old by this time.

[@TheLisaGreenlee]

they lay their eggs and die sadly

[@donaldcollins7866]

Amanda doesn't have the body of a super model. But she has a very sexy personality. Which makes Alex a very lucky man. The truth is, you will tire of a sexy body quickly. But a woman with a sexy personality is fun forever.
