Enjoyed the video as always. Saw your packet of himalayan pink salt. Fun Fact: It comes from the khewra mines and I've been there plenty of times, they are a couple of hours from where I come from in Pakistan. The mines are actually in the salt range mountain range which are not technically part of the himalayas but close enough I guess because Himalayas start from the north of Pakistan. Its interesting to think about how our humble salt which is really cheap back home has travelled all the way to california and is probably being sold at quite a premium.

The weather is always over cast in Crescent City because it is below sea level. I guess that's why I love it as an adult. Nostalgic. I used tonlive where you slept and you actually showed my old aparent. I was there back in 2001. Wasn't always the safest place l, but I guess it's cleaned up. That first road to the beach (Preston island) is called skateboard hill and the rock with the split was called 69 rock. I couldn't tell if it was still there but in the 90s it had 69 spray painted on it. Sorry it wasn't too exciting for ya and you had to deal with the not very neighborly locals. But I'm glad I got to see the town again even for a little bit.

Making your own Turkish flatbread is very easy to make and very good for sandwiches and eggs. You are familiar with cooking and it takes so little time to make with no preseratives. Buy a larger size half and half and dilute some for your Turkish bread. You will need some flour and yeast. but I am sure it will be great for you .

Be safe.

Little creep was probably going to steal your solar panel. Am glad that you at least didn't get a migraine. Maybe make tortillas? I met a guy from Crescent City once in CANCUN of all places. We hung out and did sightseeing things for the week. Fun. I lived in MA at the time. Small world.

I never get headaches thank God I did get headaches when I was a teenager than when I got older it stoped

I have an idea, you can buy 2 of the small half and half instead of a large one to fit in the small spots in the fridge 🤩 WOW when you were talking about the eating icecream that didn't agree with you and the headache, I have the same sensitivities. Also, I am allergic to oats, so I use the macadamia nut milk which I've had no bad reaction So I'm very careful about what I eat if I want a dessert bcuz I don't want to lose 3 or more days of my life anymore That's good you're feeling better Have a peaceful evening 🤗

I don't know if this pencils out for you economically but you're only a 1/2 hour from Brookings, OR. There is a Grocery Outlet and gas is cheaper. You could obviously still drive back to Crescent City. I don't know about the camping possibilities, but if you did not want to go to Oregon there are some amazing sand dunes and beach close to the Smith River, Towala Dunes. Also here's the deal, at least in Oregon, many places that you might want to go are graveled roads. Some are not maintained all that well. You have pot holes and other problems. I have a low clearance Prius and I don't want to get stuck or high centered. It's hard to get recent advice on road conditions. I often park closer to 101 and walk down.

I love bread I guess cause of my Italian heritage we always ate ALOT of bread growing up in New York

For me and bread goes I miss the bread I used to get at local Safeway back in the early 1980's and it was not a normally stocked bread because it came from the local Monastery. The Monks are great at bread making it seems. They would bring their small supply of bread to the store and it was not stocked where the corporate bread was stocked. Believe me it sold out quick. I like sour dough but a very difficult bread to find was salt rising and they did a great job with it. The Monk's bread was dense and a small loaf but it was one pound loaves. On the bread wrapper was a Monk character and the slogan was "if you can't pronounce it don't eat it".

Came across this video randomly and I live in Crescent City. Preston Island is called Skateboard Hill by the people who live here. The cove you found at the end of the river bar at Society Hole is amazing, but there is usually people out there, unless you get there early so not always worth the bumpy ride. Also, the camp you found in the woods… probably homeless people. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Also, it’s Redwood National and State Parks, so the National and state employees help each other out throughout the entire area.

We don't do Walmart but there are 2 bakeries. Boo's Organic Oven in Joshua Tree as a lovely multi grain sourdough that I can eat (flour, starter, seeds, water) for a good price. Luna Bakery is in Yucca Valley and their sourdough looks good for $2 more & they make a lovely gf almond cookie that is a nice treat once in a while. It's hard to have to be a detective in order to eat.

I can't add a picture but coffee cream is 18%, half and half is coffee cream mixed with milk. 10%. Most dairy companies in Canada sell whip cream 30%, coffee cream 18%, half and half 10%, Homogenized 3%, 2%,1% and skim 0% I guess you could mix whip and half and half to get coffee cream if its not available in California. 🤔 Most coffee shops in Canada offer half and half instead of coffee cream. I'll never understand that. I always ask for " real coffee cream" they rarely understand what I'm talking about. One very successful coffee shop in Canada has a little secret they don't talk about and it's probably one reason for their success... they use 18% coffee cream.

We were just there 2 weekends ago. Did you go to the lighthouse? You can walk out there at low tide. They have tours inside, but we just like to go out and enjoy the view. This last trip we actually stayed in Hiouchi, just a bit inland from CC. From there we traveled on some forest service roads to check out some hiking trails and we also looked at some campgrounds. We noticed that there were a few dispersed camping areas that were pretty, but definitely no facilities. We might try them sometime. The Smith River is gorgeous! We love how crystal clear it is. Btw, sometimes when we are in the heat we add some pink Himalayan sea salt and some fresh sqeezed lemon juice to our water. I get headaches in the heat and have to stay extra hydrated. Believe it or not, chocolate milk is also very hydrating. Sometimes I drink that at the end of a hike. Thanks for sharing your views and experiences! 🏞
