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!

Thanks for the years of entertainment and education, Justin. You’re truly the Huell Howser of RU-vid. I’m going to your merch page right now!

@JR-ej9up Год назад

Hell Yeah !!! Great Comparison. !!! Justin - Do In n Out Burger !!! Then you're truly Huell !!!!!!

@lizlocher3612 Год назад

Your plea to the general public to support these roadside attractions with even the smallest purchases n to take the time to stop on the road n enjoy these eclectic historic awesome places on the way of your life's journey was impassioned n very cool!!! Double Attaboy, Justin n Allie!!!

@MikeBramm Год назад

I remember Knott's Berry Farm used to have a haunted shack like that one.

@laangles2002 Год назад

Awesome Huell Howser would be proud of you Justin

@keithholt1878 Год назад

Long live Confusion Hill ! Like you said, many of these old Mom and Pop tourists attractions are vanishing because folks are to busy to stop. Unfortunately Tony the Train engineer got replaced. The two new engineers they replaced him with have a very different style. 😢

@covinaca5312 Год назад

My family drove through a tree back in 1974 in Sequoia National Park and it is a fond memory of a driving vacation from LA County to Medford, Oregon. 3 weeks of Hwy 101.

@downhomesunset Год назад

We drove through that tree in 1977!

@WayneSimons Год назад

R.I.P. Wonder Spot of Wisconsin Dells. Long gone. But glad I got to experience the Wonder as a youngster.

@mrSarcastic1984 Год назад

Great, classic dells attraction. I think its a hotel now.. not sure

@Shag471 Год назад

Love the way you articulate when saying “Bigfoot” or “Bigfeet.” 😂

@codyj2126 Год назад

It wasn't until watching this video I realized and remembered I've been to confusion Hill and that gravity shack. I must have been 6 or 7 years old 😊 I'm 34 now. Watching this truly brought back memories I've completely forgotten. Thank you 😁

@rh5563 Год назад

Knott’s and the Redwoods, Justin is the best for these two subjects! 👍👍👍

@pinball541 Год назад

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❕🔥

@Marie.Jager. Год назад

Getting these notifs makes me SO happy inside i dont know how to describe it. Your energy has been such a comfort - through your struggles you’ve still remained such a positive impact on so many lives. …. TLDR : Thank you for being you! Love from Chicago!

@mikeminard4115 Год назад

Always appreciate your enthusiasm and adventures, Justin. Shouts also to Alli, who has always has a smile.

@partridgestorm Год назад

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!

@Robothut Год назад

Thank you J & A for taking us with you to these great places.

@chiconian49 Год назад

I loved this. It's been too many years since I drove up there. I loved Trees of Mystery.

@motovaas Год назад

I bought those cow seeds at Confusion Hill years ago, rip off, ended up with Dalmatians.

@shawnsmith5498 Год назад

Great to see Ally in a video. She is totally perfect. ❤

@nancycowell-miller4321 Год назад

Rode our Harleys through the Chandelier Tree many years ago. Fond memory! Thanks for sharing!

@downhomesunset Год назад

That must have been a cool sound!

@inocalboe7819 Год назад

Back in the old days I would beg my dad to stop at Confusion Hill. I would spend my allowance on the Indian Headdress, or Cap Gun (with realistic leather holster) or a redwood burl for my mom 😢(moms can never get enough redwood burls for their birthdays)

@stressmuffin Год назад

It’s always a pleasure for the 2 of you to do a video together. Excellent tour around Confusion Hill, Justin! 👍

@farisahmadrasyid8697 Год назад

@danielwatts8345 Год назад

So glad you went back through the redwood highway. I want to go up there every year but time and money are short so your videos on the subject help quell the longing.

@JasonsMyOneLife Год назад

1000s of people can’t be called crazy seeing Bigfoot. I believe. Lol. Love the videos!! Keep up the great work Justin!

@downhomesunset Год назад

My dad is an expert on Bigfoots; we live in Alberta. He has written three books about them!

@justinscarred Год назад

Listen, I WANT to believe, Finding Bigfoot just made me totally lose faith... but I'd love to be convinced I'm wrong lol

@TheParkLark Год назад

Okay I’ve done my duty! Ordered sick merch. Now stop telling me what to do! 😂

@lizlocher3612 Год назад

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!!!

@c-dawg98 Год назад

@annieg12 Год назад

Excellent work on the editing, Ally! Also, another fun adventure!

@DerekEvans1013 Год назад

I mean usually yeah, but he did the Smug Slug bit twice and each time when he said he's known some smug slugs he showed Ally on camera...

@justinscarred Год назад

Thats just an editing mistake. With over 1000 episodes and with 500+ cuts in each episode which means over 1,000 touches of the laptop per edit, sometimes they're gonna slip through

@theresa56542 Год назад

Ive been to a place like this in South Dakota. Very cool

@aqureilart Год назад

"herbal" blankets and the mushroom mugs omg lmao

@CodyLusby Год назад

Hey Justin. I felt the same way about Bigfoot as you do until I started listen to Sasquatch chronicles podcast. People tell their bigfoot stories. It’s awesome to listen to on road trips. Anyways keep up the good work. My family and I love watching you guys.

@constancemiller3753 Год назад

Thanks for sharing! We're going on the open road in July.

@unexpected_horror_art Год назад

One of my favorite road trip memories was when I was in Australia, driving from Brisbane up to Fraser Island. We stopped for lunch at what turned out to be a ginger themed amusement park complete with a Small World-esque boat ride. I had no idea it existed. Found out via a sign on the road.

@disneydreamer98 Год назад

Reminds me of the “World famous” 😂 Mystery Spot in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan that’s been around since the early 1950’s. Haven’t been back there in probably over 30 years…but I bet it’s exactly the same as it was!

@glengoates350 10 месяцев назад

Justin we love your videos a lot, we actually have binging on you videos for awhile now, have laughed so hard, thanks I really needed that, just wanted to say bigfoot is real, when I lived in Cottonwood Ca. out on our property 30 years ago my son and his friend use to walk the rolling hill there, anyway the went to a pond to collect some fishing lures the had lost around the pond a there was a big foot there that chased them and they ran off and was able to get away from it, there is more to the story but that's a lot of texting, any way believe he is real, keep up the awesome videos, we love them, stay safe.

@dutchstewart9462 Год назад

A lot of the Bigfoot merchandise that you found in that one spot was Archie McPhee brand you should look further into it I think you'll be entertained by their other products

@jayjohnson7633 Год назад

Justin and Ally are the best.

It’s called vertigo…I get it when I go through places like that

@SunriseMoonshine81 2 месяца назад

In 2006 when I stopped there to buy a shirt I was the only person there and the man working tried to get me to try on the shirt and asked to get a look at my boobs!!!! Your video makes me want to give it another try! Traveling with you and Ally must be so fun! Thanks for making this. I’ve been wondering wtf that place was really about without the perv store guy! 🙃

Dear Justin please read my comment on last video about your van breaking down. The last one???

@justinscarred Год назад

It didn't break down, it's been in the shop getting the long list of things I knew were wrong with it when I bought it fixed one by one.

These comments about supporting small businesses. Please keep saying it. Let it be said over and over until it sinks in.

@iplatotle6600 Год назад

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.
