We're back on the Redwood Highway! California's US-101 through the redwoods, once the pinnacle of 20th century road trip attractions, now somewhat forgotten In the hubbub of the 21st. Abandoned resorts and motels litter the route... empty lots where families once spent their vacations, and in the off season, just the faintest echoes of traffic on the highway through the world's Tallest Trees!
We took a quick ride on one of my favorite sections of the Redwood highway, from The famous Peg House (for sale!) to Confusion Hill and the Chandelier Drive-thru Tree - but shockingly, one of the most famous attractions on the redwood highway for a century seems to be closed up and completely abandoned! The world famous Tree House, or Lilley Redwood park treehouse, Or Minnie Stoddard Lilley tree, whatever you want to call it - is closed!

The Gravity Shack at Confusion Hill definitely reminds me of the old Haunted Shack at Knott's Berry Farm. The main proprietors of the Haunted Shack was Slanted Sammy, & Shakey Sadie. Unfortunately Knott's removed the shack in 2000❕😥 MEMORIES❕ Hello from Phoenix Arizona❕🔥

Very cool trip! I did almost the exact same trip with my mom last summer. She wanted to visit the redwood forest while we were visiting her dad who lives in Walnut Creek. I told her, "You know. it's not exactly a quick hop over to the redwoods from where we are." But we did it anyways, and had a great time. I got to explore the Redwood Highway more in depth a few years ago, and I used your previous video series on the Redwood Highway as a guide. You helped me not to miss interesting points along the highway, and you were responsible for making my adventure a little more awesome. Thank you Justin!

I totally identify with your passion for roadside attractions, as I come from a generation where they were new n unusual n interesting n Mom n Dad took us to every single available roadside attractions on our vacations 3 times a year from 1965 to forever!!! Our family still gets together on vacation n we still visit every roadside attraction we can find it run up on, from Michigan all the way down to Florida n then over towards Arizona n New Mexico. That is why I love 💕 your videos, Justin, cuz you really appreciate the intrinsic value if our country's history n the purveyance of keeping our National Treasures for future generations!!! I love 💕 to accompany you on all your journeys, as your enthusiasm is extremely awesome n I get to see places I haven't been able to see in person!! Attaboy, Justin n Allie!!!

If I owned the shop on Confusion Hill I would never leave a stick of incense burning as was shown. I'd worry an adult wouldn't see it and burn their arm when passing by. Or worse, a child burn her face. Or even worse, a running child fly into it with his eye. Or another possibility, someone deliberately or accidentally knocking it to the floor and burning the place down.
