Well put. Still, I'm not putting myself between a black bear sow and her cub.

Cute? Check. Concerning? Check.

Thank YOU again, Thomas!

Haha! You're telling me, Don. All I could think at the time was, "What if this freakin' cub stays up there all night?"

Happy that you enjoyed it, Emily!

What a terrific way to grow up, Suzanne!

Thanks bud!

Thank you for coming along! We enjoyed having you at last night's Premiere event as well.

Thank you Ken! You've given me some stuff to look into, and I genuinely appreciate that.

Thank you as always, Matt!

We're happy to bring you back through the video, Judy!

And thank you as always for watching!

😁

Thank you for watching! That section of NorCal really is more or less an extension of the Oregon coastline.

Thanks Gerald! Yep, that was indeed disappointing. Wishing you safe travels as well, on your journey south.

It hasn't gotten out of the low 60s for us anytime in our past several weeks following the coast. It's normally cool here in summers anyway thanks to the Pacific influence, but this year it's even running below normal thus far.

@@GrandAdventure I just noticed, I'm camperbum now, lol. It's 105 plus here in the Ozarks today, can't really get anything done but watching videos, thanks Mark, now send some cool weather our way 😎 your friend in the steamy Ozarks.

What a wonderful childhood, Steve! Thanks so much for sharing your memories.

Thank you Norm! Terrific to have you at last night's Premiere event.

Hey, if that can happen to me for my own Premiere, it can happen to anyone. 😄

@@GrandAdventure lol

Thanks Gord! We're barely hitting the low 60s here. That's been the case for our past several weeks along the coast.

@@GrandAdventure Marc, You could easily do a special on how to avoid summer heart. And then highlight several places over the years that were very cool during the summer months. I don't think many people are aware of coastal range temps during the summer months. Enjoy the cool buddy... Gord

@@gorrdd not a bad idea, thanks for that!

Thank you so very much, and thanks for watching! We're thrilled to help you populate a future itinerary.

Agreed. Even the locals in that area hate California.

It feels like a very un-California portion of California up there. The difference from the rest of the state is palpable.

Yep Bill, both 101 and the Scenic Route through the State Park have them jutting out into the shoulder. Especially on 101, driving through there at the speed limit with the narrow lanes and curves is sure "sporting," to say the least. Happy to hear that you enjoyed this one, thank you for your kind words!

Thank you! And terrific to have you at last night's premiere, too.

So sorry to hear about your wife's situation. Here's hoping for some sort of miraculous turnaround. We were surprised to see so few seals and sea lions at Crescent City -- yep, right by the Chart Room. So we were happy to find that massive gathering right at the mouth of the Klamath. And coming up in Charleston we had an up-close encounter with a few harbor seals.

It sure is! We only paddled upstream of the campground, so those paddlers you saw could not have been us.

No kidding! A lot of time has elapsed since then.

Thank you Beth! Here's wishing you a wonderful trip to the Redwood Coast.

Thank you! Living the dream each week, and we love bringing our viewers along.

Thanks for coming along, Larry! It's been 5 years for us as well, so this is a refreshing return for us.

Thank you so very much, Joyce! We've long enjoyed finding the path less traveled, even while visiting a heavily visited area like this. And we positively love your home area, too!

Thank you so very much, Sondra! Happy to hear that you enjoyed this one, and thanks for sharing what you enjoyed about it.

LOL! That's precisely why we didn't even try.

Hardly felt the need for the bear spray when we were only 100 ft from the truck. Just goes to show how wrong you can be sometimes.

Hope you do! You won't be disappointed. And as for the giant trees themselves, it's impossible to convey with a camera just how awe-inspiring large they are.

There ya go, Randolph! Hope you've caught our recent episode from Mammoth/Bishop as well.

That'll be an interesting journey, Joe. As I understand it, the first dam removal was recently completed.

I'm glad that ours only had a cub, and no clubs with which to attack us, Don. 😁 Thank you as always for your kind words! We love this whole stretch of coastline from NorCal up through Oregon. Next week we'll bring you to Coos Bay, the week thereafter the Central Oregon Coast, and the northern Oregon coast the week thereafter. Beyond that, we're still trying to figure out our itinerary.

@@GrandAdventure Marc, I am still have videos scheduled and already made of the PNW. Have fun and safe travels. Don

@@CowboyBikerAdventures We look forward to seeing the upcoming ones!

@GrandAdventure thank you Marc.

It varies. A lot of it depends on how quickly we can gain ground on the calendar. At the moment it's about 2, to 2 and 1/2 weeks. FYI we always put the filming dates in the video description.

Thank you so very much!! We're always on the lookout for an opportunity to drop the boat into the water.

Anytime!

We were so incredibly disappointed by that when we walked down and saw it. There are times that I can come up with no explanation for why some people do what they do.

Well, obviously we don't use the drone inside National Parks, and abide by all flight restrictions. Redwood National & State Parks is a unique situation, wherein it's actually a conglomeration of jointly managed state parks. In a situation like that, given that it's technically state park land, and I'm just one guy with a camera I'll take my chances. Eventually this will play out that the NPS won't apply the same standards to a KZfaqr with a camera as apply to a large, commercial film crew.

@@GrandAdventure I remember when the NPS had sense enough to know the difference between big production filming/video and left small footprint photogs and videographers alone, but lately they have gone insane with their No Monetization policy. I am not monetized anywhere on any social media platform, but they have threatened me several times, once photo photographing my son and his fiancé at Valley of Fire. Said my camera was too professional to be an amateur. While photographing two Donkeys, me on Whiskey Pete's Casino parking lot, they on he dry lake bed nearby, a Nevada Highway Patrol officer told me if I did not stop photographing them, he would arrest me. I told him I was shooting from private property at Donkeys on BLM Land, but that just made him mad and he literally went psycho for a moment yelling at me. I left to avoid him throwing my camera gear in his trunk. Once at Lake Mead National Recreation Area, I was threatened with a fine for breaking out my tripod. They've just gone nuts with this nonsense. dizeman.com Thanks for your timely response!
