I was born and raised in Ft. Bragg during the 80's/90's. Lived just a few blocks away from Glass Beach for years, it was my back yard. The Skunk Train was right down the street from my house, many memories of riding my bike over to see the Steam Train start off down the track during the Spring/Summer months. From Leggett to Gualala, the Mendocino Coast was a beautiful area to grow up in. I was a very lucky kid.

I feel lucky for growing up in California too! The perpetual spring of the coast was wonderful.

I grew up slightly inland in Branscomb/Laytonville. Used to drive to the coast over the Branscomb Road 2 or 3 times a month

Thanks for sharing those beautiful views of Northern Cali. Loved the coast and sunset shots!!

Oakland native here & this is my next weekend trip. I always feel nostalgic about redwood trees because of the huge one in my apartments' backyard as a child. It was the only one in our neighborhood. Can't believe being here all these years and not once thinking to explore the home state. Thanks for the video tour!

The Mendocino Coast is AWESOME! Lived there in Comptche and in Albion. Now we are in Vermont...love it but really miss Mendo. Used to hike to that waterfall and have lunch. There is something incredible about the redwoods and the ocean together in one place.

Vermont sounds pretty good too! But I agree, Mendo is easily one of my favorite places ever.

Thank you for the amazing views of Mendocino and Ft. Bragg!! Beautiful. I was in the 82nd Airborne at the military Ft. Bragg in north Carolina. Way different scenery!!

As a Sacramento resident, I have the luxury of driving either to the north coast or the southern coast with just couple hours either direction and it's lovely.

So beautiful the mendocino coast and the woods,all the trees esp the Redwoods. Thanks for making such a lovely video.I lived therefrom 8/92-8/2000 in Ft. Bragg.I worked 3-11:30pm,so I had time before work to explore.I spent more time walking on or near the ocean.I love driving that short trip to Mendocino and exploring around.I only went on the Skunk train once and I liked it.This makes me homesick and I want to plan a visit.

Love both of these cities, Noyo Harbor in Fort Bragg is gorgeous!

The Intro when you were at the tree area and climbing on it. That’s me and my brother favorite spot! And yes talk about crazy roads there! I get car sick so easily 🤣

"metal beach" is wild too. It used to be a dump in Mendocino proper. They would back their trucks up to the cliff and dump. You can see old truck engines that are fused into the cliff and a friend even found a gold ring.

Your videos are so well done. Thanks for sharing your journey with us!

Couldn't agree more about Mendocino! My husband and have been coming here for decades, since we were just bf's and gf's. Now we have kids, 10 and 8, and this is our weekend getaway still. The fog that comes in late afternoon until morning. The smell of the ocean, trees nd so much more. It is breathtaking! We'll keep coming back at this place. And oh, I hope she washed her hands after she touched that poisonous mushrooms!

Great video. I am heading that way next month. Its been 6 years since last visit. Loved your hikes, and skunk train.

Have a great time and let me know if you end up following this itinerary!

I live in Fort Bragg because I fell in love with the area. I show this video to friends when I want them to visit. I want to make a correction though. You actually weren’t in the pygmy forest. The pygmy forest is further inland (Usually about 2-4 miles) and the trees are tiny. I could ramble for a really long time about the environment and eco system. But a tree that is an inch or two in diameter is probably over 100 years old. The pygmy cypress is the native tree there and outside their native habitat they get huuuuge. but in the pygmy forest they are rarely over 15 feet tall. My favorite place is the secret carnivorous plant grove hidden in one of the pygmy bogs, anyway, great video.

I'm from inland Mendocino County and the Mendocino and Fort Bragg is typically our get away from the summer heat. I haven't been to Glass Beach in a long time. The last thing I heard about it was people were taking too much rocks and making it lose its charm.

Still true, but I was surprised to see a bunch this time! I think the key is low tide.

If ya hollar thunder on the sea cliffs, ya get lightning. The salty fog cures the keif for True TRUE indigo blue. Living in the flow since 2007. I saw a whale give birth, than eagles and condors gave me feathers. Showing the love for the mothers kitchen. Makes love in a tide pool, abolone abound. 3rd open beading on glass beach. Worked trim in Humboldt, but grew gravity in Mendocino.Enlightend beings , dark , light, yet we're alright. In the fold , bending the harmonic. I was his honey , and granted wishes.

That's my hometown

What is the name of the place where you stayed?

Can you tell where is that place because I went to glass beach where the gps send me but I didnot see any glass like the video ??

Same happened the first time I went. It’s the first area you can walk down to when you park but the only reason we saw it was because of low tide.

We often take our home for granted! I was the same about mine.

I can't believe this place exists and have never heard of it ; being born in Ft. Bragg North Carolina then moved to Ft. Benning Georgia then moved to Pensacola Florida where I've resided for 30+ years . General Bragg had a big impact in , well of coarse Ft . Bragg NC , but along with General Benning had an big footprint in Pensacola Fl , or atleast the placards around town do mention General Benning . Just to think when I was TDY in Port Hueneme 20 years ago I tried to make it to the giant redwoods but only made it as far as Vandenberg . Actually found this place a year or so ago looking at parks in the area via satellite but I didn't believe this place was real . I thought maybe someone at my ISP or Google maps was messing with me due to never hearing about it ; not even my own father who is buried on Ft. Bragg ,NC ever mentioned it . Maybe if I don't visit this place before I die I'll be buried in Ft. Bragg California . Actually I'll put that in my Will so that way I or my family will be sure I visit this place .
