Sometimes solving one problem can create other problems. Both good and bad.
Today I am back in Eureka California after spending some time in and around Seattle. This area of the Pacific Northwest is similar to Seattle in a few ways. But it tends to be a little warmer and a little sunnier here in Humboldt county.
Being back here has been a joy. And today we will visit two of my favorite places. Arcata Community Forest and Trinidad.

My name is Scott and in 2015, I bought a Ram ProMaster City to live in. Even though I didn’t know much about RV’s and campervans, I set about building the van out as a minivan camper. And in April of 2016, I moved into my minivan full time.
Over the years, I’ve learned you don’t need to have a big skill set to build your own campervan. And that living as a minimalist and utilizing solar power can be a less expensive way to live. I’ve also learned that a minivan can be a very comfortable home.
Please follow along as I document my journey.

LOL Those people didn't want anything to do with the crazy man in a van talking to himself. That was funny. That was quite the view out your door at the end.

The eucalyptus there were planted as a windbreak in the early part of the 1900's. A large section of them was removed recently due to trail work and their advacned state of decline (100 years is a long life for a eucalyptus in the northern hemisphere, where they are not actually native and it is too wet for them). Cal Poly Humboldt used to be a State University, it is still a university, just with a different designation. As you can tell, I spent some time there. Was a student when it was Humboldt State University. One of my favorite places in the world! Trinidad is my favorite beach. If you are still around, the restaurant on the pier does a great breakfast. And Sue Meg Stae Park (formerly Patrick's Point) has my favorite campground ever. Thanks for the views of my favorite places!

The eucalyptus trees were planted about a hundred years as a windbreak. They just cut down half of them to accommodate the trail that connects Eureka and Arcata.

@StaticCamperVan 10 месяцев назад

Thank you. Windbreak makes sense

@jwebbw 10 месяцев назад

Well, you indeed saved me time and gas by visiting and showing one of my favorite areas north of Arcata. If you take the coastal access road north from where you were parked, you can find short trails that lead out on to some land masses, some rocky and grassy flat areas surrounded by ocean and with the best scenic views....thanks and take care !!

@ 24min. What a lovely beach. I'm wondering though.. is this one of those beaches that experiences rouge waves? That scares the begeesus out of me. Glad you took us further up the trail. What a view indeed!. Thanks for your efforts.

@StaticCamperVan 10 месяцев назад

I’m not sure about rogue waves. None of these are swimming beaches from my perspective. Although a lot of people swim and surf here.

@glennbeattie6172 10 месяцев назад

I have an older van. This is year five full time for me. In the last couple of years I have had the engine and tranny replaced. Several people told me I would still have problems even with a new engine. Of course they are right. I spent an extra 3k over the top of the engine rebuild, and I am so happy about it. I got an upgraded battery, higher output alternator, new fuel injectors, new exhaust system, new fuel pumps, plus much more. Even though most of those parts were still good. Now they should last as long as the new engine. It is so much cheaper to get it all done at once. Than piece by piece on the road. I have three times as much money in my van then I can sell it for. But as you know having confendance in the mechanicals is so stress relieving. Best wishes and happy travels!

@bayside6207 10 месяцев назад

& Even though you have 3 times as much cash put into your van/home, it's your home and it's going to last you another several years now and I mean several. Not to mention, do you know how much a new vehicle cost nowadays?? They are Ripping people off left and right,, the prices are Astronomical these days.More computer electrical componentry to go wrong.. I'd rather have a semi-older vehicle and keep it going at almost whatever the cost.

Hey Scott! Glad to have you home! I see someone already mentioned that the eucalyptus trees were planted as a windbreak many years ago. I have memories of driving by them as a small child.

We've hiked it many times. ❤ The baskets are crab pots. Fresh crab is amazing! We've had some lovely weather recently; I hope you got plenty of solar power. We always enjoy your videos. 😊

The trees in my neck of the woods are now bare thanks to that crazy rain storm last night. A little jealous seeing those red woods and greenery. I purchased a 1/2 pound of Ethiopian Yirgacheffe coffee for pour-over at Porto Rico Imports in NYC, a local Italian coffee importer for over a hundred years. “Ethiopian coffees are known to possess a slightly spicy and almost “wine”-like flavor.” Can’t drink Dunkin’ Donuts anymore. What is Starbucks? I am now an official grown-up thanks to you. ☕️
