    So love Mendocino but it’s been years since my wife and I went there when we lived in SF. Now we live on the East Coast. I still think about Mendocino all the time
  • @ren1018

  • @cindyk3076
    So beautiful, love the railbikes and the deer! The food looked delicious too, even the mushroom ice cream, lol.
  • @alexwallace6120
    Thanks! I lived up there moving from San Diego in 1992,and moving away in 2000. I spent much time exploring the coast, and the forest/Redwoods There are so many places to explore, and it is so beautiful. The skunk train bikes/carts, were not around when I lived there. They looked fun and also expensive. I did like the Skunk train. You did a great job filming those wonderful moments.

    Gas is only $10.00 a gallon. Fill up your gas tank before you go there. Prices in Mendocino are sky high. The Farmers Market on the weekend was great! A beach just south of there, on Big River is really awesome too. The Big River is about 58 degrees. Few people take a dip there. Beautiful, pristine river. Just stunning.

    Just WOW- Ca. resident for over 50 years. I've been nearby, but this was a truly great overview.

  • I hope you got to see Santa Cruz. It’s where I’m from and I love it!
  • OMG! I discovered Mendo a few years ago when my cousin got married amongst the trees at Cypress Grove. We camped at Van Damme State park. Totally fell in love with this place!!! I returned with a few relatives to check out the town & do some awesome coastal hikes including Shady Dell an hour north of Mendo. We also had the delicious Caldeirada (Portuguese seafood stew) at Flow which was perfect for the chilly weather. Its my goal to buy some land up there, build my retirement home and finish my days in that area. Its heaven up there!!! We need to keep that place a secret though xD oh and yes Glass Beach could use a little more glass and great luck on running into a family of deer on the hike! Major "Like"

  • @PhotowalksTV
    Love Mendocino! Did you get to the Murder she wrote house?
  • @Justinian21c
    Rail bikes look cool, but $250 for a ride seems outrageously expensive!
