ROAD TRIP! Much like old Route 66, The Redwood Highway, US-101, was covered with Epic Roadside Attractions, old Auto Courts, Motels, Historic sites, Abandoned buildings, old filling stations, and so much more! California's Redwood highway travels through the far northern part of the state, North of San Francisco and up to the Oregon border. On this stretch, We start in Laytonville, California, move our way up through Leggett, and explore amazing old Stage Stops, Abandoned Resorts, Forgotten Auto Camps, and more! Everything from the Irvine Resort turned rest area, to the ghost roads, to the Chandelier tree's original neighbor! We see abandoned social halls, the shadows of Roadside history and abandoned roadside attractions, and finally see Giant old-growth redwood trees - Not just see but drive and WALK through three of them!
This is only one part of many Redwood Highway Adventures - each different! There are some amazing Roadside attractions, natural scenes, and historic then-and-now adventures ahead! While there are far less Redwood Highway travelers than Route 66 travelers, it contains much of the same kind of history and architecture, as well as having the added bonus of the world's tallest living thing, the California GIANT Redwoods. Although there are eco-tourists, crusty hippies, and family road trippers passing through, Hopefully these videos will encourage more "Route 66 style" Historic road travelers to take up the redwood highway challenge. The more visitors who ask these places about their history, leave tips and suggestions for old motels and businesses to embrace their history, etc etc, the more often these old highways preserve and restore that history. So please join me in traveling down the OLD Redwood Highway, in California!

Congrats on blogging the roads”less traveled” and the Redwood Highway history! It’s wonderful to find “fresh” towns that other bloggers have ignored ! Kudos, buddy!

Loved this. Especially the old comparison photos. Beautiful highway. Cheers.

If this is the video that was driving you nuts... this was so worth all the time and effort you put into it! Thanks for taking us along your trips!

@sahpem4425 5 лет назад

I did learn a lot. I didn’t realize how important the roadside attractions were to the redwoods’ survival! Looking forward to more!

@baconmecrazy8128 5 лет назад

When I first moved to Humboldt County (late sping of 2001), I lived at the south end of the Avenue of the Giants in between Chimney Tree and Phillipsville in a redwood cabin which was part of a group of cabins built back in the 1930's as road side fishing cabins. They are right across the road from the Eel river, and there are large number of old growth (500 years and older) redwood trees all around them. I moved to Eureka a few years later.

@dianeadams4884 5 лет назад

Justin, the details of your stories about this area are amazing! I don't know how you do it. Love this video, as all of your videos. Thank you for taking us along on your adventures.

@wlwal1 5 лет назад

Amazing Justin!! Have traveled the newer road, but always wondered about the old road. WE would stop at Redcrest Resort, which survived the 64 flooding! Great Times!

@minhdat5549 7 месяцев назад

I appreciate your showing the old Riverdale Resort. It still had guests in the late. 1950s early 1960s. Right across the highway was Carl's - no not "Carl's Jr." fast food - but a great place for home cooking named Carl's restaurant which featured daily specials like Ham Hocks and Lima Beans.

@tommyboyink 5 лет назад

awesome, thanks for a little history. we have a car show at the peg house, in Legget on the sept 7 with the drive thru the tree.

@christopherprice3867 5 лет назад

Thank you for the trip down memory lane. I lived in Leggett from 1973 to late 1977 and had lived at Bell Glen for a short while. I worked at Riverdale Resort up until my move to Nevada and had made plenty of trips across that swinging bridge. It had a motel until 1976 when it burned down and the main building was a convenience store, beer/wine bar and sold redwood burls tabletops and gas. It looks as though the people that took it over couldn't make a go of it because it looks as thought it's been closed for many, many years (42 years since I left).

@jsnltt 5 лет назад

Awesome. The amount of work you put into this shows. Thank you.

@ruthm3813 5 лет назад

What an amazing journey with such interesting history. I think I would love to drive up that road, though I doubt now at oour age an being in the UK that we will get there. Thank you Justin for the work, we really can see your enthusiasm

@candysantillo3325 5 лет назад

When I was a kid ,a hundred years ago well maybe just the fifties my parent took me to the redwoods on vacation. We stopped at a charming little village with cottages and cabins and a souvenir shop called Brownieville.I wonder if it survived Did you happen to see it?

@StressLessCamping 4 года назад

I have driven this road plenty of times and this gives me new appreciation for the things on the side, even if they vanished in time. This was absolutely outstanding - thank you for this epic vid!!

@wendyandmanny 5 лет назад

Justin you creative genius. I am going to save that song you did at the end and put it on my wife's phone as my ringtone, then wait for her reaction, lol. Great video as always, keep up the good work and God bless.

@pegeenperry9025 5 лет назад

I spent my childhood driving between our home in the Bay Area and my grandmother's home in Eureka so I know this road well! Lane's Flat was always our first stop on the way out of Eureka on the way home and is one of my favorites. Thanks for the memories!!

@tombuck 5 лет назад

I can’t get enough of the past/present photo comparisons. Love the redwoods, the history, the whole thing! As a kid I had a toy redwood truck made out of redwood that “delivered” redwood logs (small branches). It was the best.

@ladnarfilms5201 5 лет назад

@jamieadisneyfan8317 5 лет назад

Justin -- I love your old highway history videos! I also love to see what it looked like in the past and imagine life back then. You are really good at this stuff! Keep it up! And, wave 'HI' next time you pass through Brookings. I belatedly waved at you!

@SuperLQQK 5 лет назад

That river beach would indeed be a cool place to set up camp and hang out for a night. Thanks for taking time to make the video.

@racheldelgado5646 5 лет назад

Love your road trips. Thanks for taking us along for an awesome ride.

@gregsmith1719 5 лет назад

Your'e right, Justin, just like Route 66! Same magic! Next you need to consider Highway 49 in the Sierra foothills, the old Gold Country! And then Old Highway 1 along the coast up to San Francisco! And then Highway 395 up through Bishop to Reno. and on and on! Keep it up!

@martajohnson3638 5 лет назад

Thanks for the great video, Justin. We drove through the Redwood forest off the 101 a couple of years ago. I had no idea that so many of these roadside attractions existed. How interesting.

@jspa80js 4 года назад

I have really enjoyed your NorCal Redwood videos. As a child my grandparents lived in Phillipsville so we traveled these roads quite often. The building next to the now Elfin Glenn gift shop always had a mannequin woman in the top window. I remember always looking for her and what she was wearing. I need to go through my parents old photos. I know we have some from Hobbiton. I too was quite disappointed when I went back as an adult and it was no longer in operation. We still go back every summer to camp in Richardson's Grove. I highly recommend you go back and travel the Avenue of the Giants in its entirety. The one tree log house was in Phillipsville when I was a kid and first visited it. Thank you for these fun videos!

@lunkerjunkiestv186 5 лет назад

Very cool to see this video! I use to travel this highway as a kid every summer with my grandparents on our way to a championship horse shoe pitching tournament my grandfather played in every year in Rio dell, CA. That was 35-40 years ago. it has changed a lot in fact many of the old comparison shots you show are how it still was back in the 70s and early 80s,.. Thanks for the vid! I'll have to make that drive again sometime,..

@dannyramirez2574 5 лет назад

@robertelliott1659 5 лет назад

I was on Hyy 101 back in the late 1980's. It was in the winter months, and there was snow on the ground. The road was called the "Avenue of the Giants". My goal was to make it to the Oregon Border, but I ran out of time. The road was awesome. And some of the names from the video are somewhat familiar. I took a road west to the Coast Hwy, where it was about 70 degrees Farenheit (no snow). Visited a number of towns back to SF. But one area I visited was called the Ecological Staircase. Somewhere around Fort Bragg. Extremely interesting. Dwarf trees, and different flora due to ancient ocean levels (global warming is a natural occurrence). One of my most memorable trips in No. California. Thanks for the memories. I have subscribed, and liked.
