Is there more to do in and around Mendocino than wine and art? Not that there is anything wrong with wine and art...

95% of the original redwood habitat has been cut at least once since the 1850s. I could only imagine how much different our climate and ecosystem is today than it was prior to the 1850's.

Sad but true. Getting into the old growth areas and being in the presence of the giant redwoods is something everyone should do at least once in their life.

Mendocino is always a stand in for New England in movies and TV shows. It looks very similar. The film Cujo is set in Maine but was filmed in Mendocino.

I think Murder She Wrote was also filmed in Mendo. The show was “set” in Maine.

The rings you saw around chopped down redwoods are called Fairy Rings. Those second and third gen trees share same ancient root system as original tree. They are an incredibly resilient species.

Thanks. Great job. There is a lot of hiking and exploring,.I lived in Fort Bagg, a bit North of Mendocino. So much to see there, with wonderful headland and beach walks. There is a 10mile beach hike north, that is out of this world.
@HiddenCali6 ай бұрын
So appreciate you taking the time to comment. Is the 10 mile hike along the beach on the Lost Coast?

If you do look more into Chinese history in California, I suggest checking out Locke, CA. It's small but lots of history there
@HiddenCali6 ай бұрын
Ohhhh... Thank you for the tip. I am very interested in the story of the Chinese in California. The more I learn the more I think it is a hugely important and neglected part of the California story. Thanks for the Tip.

Mendocino is unique in that it was able to preserve a lot of there historic buildings. If you go to the coast of mendocino county most of those places in other towns are ruins now. I got to go to science camp in grade school out in those redwoods there. Was an amazing experience.

There is some really wonderful architecture. Yay science camp!

Great channel. I wish you had been making these videos when I was frequently in from California on business trips from Ireland while working for Cisco Systems in The Bay area and I explored and holidayed in northern california on many occasions. One small point of clarification Presbyterianism is the established church in Scotland and not England where the established Church is the Church of England which is an Episcopalian Church. Keep up these great videos.

Thanks for the clarification. Side note - In my previous life running a Communications Agency our longest standing client was - and still is Cisco. Are you old enough to remember "Empowering the Internet Generation"? 🤓

New subscribers here. Lived in Humboldt for 10+ years. Lived up on the mountain of Phillipsville by the EEL river. Took Briceland road to the lost coast many a time. Nothing like Kings Range and the coast! Your videos are very well done with important history. Thanks for your content. Could you do some of the Ave. Of the Giants? Miss the big trees and all the rest.( Including the people that I got to know) Thanks again! 🤠🌲🌲🌲 🎼

Glad you are enjoying the historical slant to the videos. For me having some context to where I am is important and makes my trips more enjoyable. I will be doing an insiders trip to Redwoods National Park and the area round there soon - stay tuned as we used to say. And thank you for sharing your comment - really nice to know folks are enjoying the videos ☺️.

Just curious as I have never been a diver - what makes it a great place to dive?

@HiddenCali Mendocino headlands is my favorite place. Bull kelp anchored at the bottom, reaching to the surface, creating a canopy. It's like gliding weightlessly through a forest, - Picture the astronauts pulling themselves around the space station. It's amazingly clean. I imagined the bottom covered in silt or mud, but it's sand and shell particles. There are fish literally everywhere. The ocean floor is riddled with boulders, and between the boulders in the crevices, rock fish lay in wait to ambush their next meal that swims by. You can swim right up to them with your flashlight, and they remain unbothered and indifferent, feeling safe in their little hideout. Fish of all colors. China rockfish are highly contrasted with their black and yellow, rainbow perch are literally that, a rainbow. Cabazon are nearly invisible with their camouflage, and they'll even nestle in the seaweed and rock back and forth with the gentle surge. Sea stars, bat stars, sun stars. The sunstars aren't really common but a real treat to happen upon. The nudibranchs are spectacular. They seem to flouresce, although they don't. It's similar to how sea anemones seem to have light on the ends of their tentacles. All this I've seen while free diving. I'm certified for scuba, but the best is free diving, without the burden of paying attention to air, time, depth, and direction.
