@estelleadamski308 Год назад

My husband and I met in Fresno, in March. We started dating in June, got engaged the end of July and got married Oct. 30th, 1971. We have been married 51 yrs. It was a different time. Boys were drafted into a war in Vietnam, they HAD no choice to control their lives at all.. They could not got off traveling then. So after being denied a life of your own, it WAS a choice to meet and get married quickly to start a life you were in charge of my husband joined the navy a month after graduating Hi school. He figured he had already wasted 4 yrs. of his life and didn't want to wait any longer.

@jezzie1965 Год назад

@estelleadamski308 Год назад

@@jezzie1965 you had the freedom to do what you wanted at 18. The Gov't didn't force you to join the military and forced to go to war. There was a draft, you had no choice. That's the POINT! 4 yrs. of your life taken away a young age. U don't know ur history

@jeffreygunn3530 Год назад

The weather is actually pretty typical for that part of California. I was stationed at Fort Ord (near Monterey) when I first joined the Army, and it rained or was foggy about 2/3 of the time.

That's making a lot more sense the more we stay here, honestly 😅

Oh man you guys missed Carmel-by-the-Sea!! Just 10 mins south of Monterey. Beautiful downtown by the ocean with a walk path by the ocean. Easy overnight parking at the 24/7 Safeway.

Hi 😀, It was such a treat to see this amazing video. I was born in Santa Cruz and lived there for 43 years and for economic reasons now we live in Texas. I miss home so much. And is so beautiful like remember it Hopefully you have time to drive 17 miles drive in Monterrey is so amazing ,and see Carmel . Thank you again for the bringing a piece of home back to me here Texas

@rachelkarunos954 Год назад

There's so much to tell you about Monterey, where I grew up and moved to the Yosemite area when I was 33. The original name to Lovers Point was Lovers of Jesus Christ Point. My parents were married on the grassy overlook and my husband proposed to me there. Also, John Denver crashed his plane near by. The wild sea life is sooo very cool. I spent loads of time at Lovers Point. Thank you for memory lane.

@abakella Год назад

Downtown Santa Cruz right by the beach and boardwalk. Love that area, it has great restaurants

@debbiej.2168 Год назад

Sorry you got caught in the rain, but we really need it! Lovers' Point in Pacific Grove (where I live- next to Monterey) was originally called Lovers of Jesus Point. Pacific Grove was a Methodist retreat site in the 1800's, where people would come, and camp in tents in the summer.

@josephjenkins2583 Год назад

Be careful guys; there are a lot of hidden waves with powerful impact and retrieving waves that could pull you out to sea. Love your videos!!!

@cenvalleysteel Год назад

It's nice to see you displaying California as the wonderful State it is. I am a Seventh Generation NorCal Resident and really love it here. I also have loved to see other parts of the US and Canada in our RV travels. You two are very lucky to have shaped your lives to do what you are doing. Thanks and please come back!

@gregorybraithhunter Год назад

Thanks for sharing. It's fun seeing your Santa Cruz experience from my perspective as someone who lives there. The fact that you chose Las Palmas taco bar gives you a great deal of credibility! Happy travels!

@mitchw9162 Год назад

Thank you for your endearing and wide eyed enjoyment footage. I have tread on most of the areas you have over 30 years ago when I lived in San Francisco. I'm afraid I have lost the innocence along the way, but can relive it through you 2. THX

@JimmyandNatalie Год назад

We're glad you're enjoying it too! We are doing our best to keep finding new stuff and I hope we never run out 😄

@mitchw9162 Год назад

Enjoyed from Napa on down. If you can hit San Luis Obispo for Thursday night they have an excellent Farmers Market/Street fair. (I went to school @ Cal Poly SLO way back when).What ever you do you'll have fun.

@vanderm49 Год назад

It rains pretty much all winter in California, but then it's dry all summer (hence, the horrible fires). But the silver lining is that you're seeing empty beaches, and you're not getting "knocks" to move during the night. So enjoy the rain because, believe it or not, it's making your trip better. (A couple cheap plastic ponchos will significantly increase the enjoyment factor.)

@DanielRall Год назад

Sick views! Y'all hit a killer lunch spot with Las Palmas; I've been eating there my whole life, and the place has been there for waaay longer. Always good.

@rockercover Год назад

Video is a Good reminder to appreciate the ocean and cliff overlook views. When living near the coast, can get used to it / forget the wonderfulness. (The crashing wave sound, etc.). Check with M.Alice, for parking spots in Monterey area, if ever back there in the future.

@petraschultz7292 Год назад

@Aussiesuede Год назад

Hey Jimmy & Nat. A little hack we discovered for parking in Cali outside of the city is to goto the local Police station and let them know you're traveling through and if you can park next to the station til you take off in the morning. They pretty much always say OK.

@lizzieb6311 Год назад

What terrific advice!

@JimmyandNatalie Год назад

I had not heard that before but that is super helpful to know! It's been tough finding good spots in a lot of towns so it's good to have a backup plan! Thank you! 😄

@corysvanlife Год назад

I don’t think I could ever get tired of seeing the ocean!!! I was waiting on you all to get the knock at that last location you stayed at lol. I’m glad that did not happen!! When I stayed in the Walmart parking lot on my last trip, I was also relieved that there were others parking overnight lol. I am keeping my fingers crossed that I can avoid the knock when I start traveling!! Great video as always!!

@JimmyandNatalie Год назад

It's always nice to see others there! (At the very least it gives us more time if we see them passing out tickets down the road 😂)

@wanderingoutyonder Год назад

Very cool! We love seeing what others do in their van! We have a Ford Transit 250 that we travel in - we went the NO BUILD route - this area looks like a fantastic place to call home for an evening! Keep making memories & adventure on! ~Karen & Shannon WOY

Now you are where I have been many times. I grew up an hour away from Santa Cruz. I’m four hours away now but my friend and I meet once a year and spend the night. Especially when it gets really hot here in Jackson, CA I try to schedule a beach trip.

@jpmendoza138 Год назад

Nice to my area through a different lens. Don’t forget to stop by point lobos or Carmel by the sea, Big Sur or Pfierrer state park/beach.

@maloso81 Год назад

Moss landing is just north of Monterey. It has amazing kayaking in Elkhorn slough, basically a river connected to ocean. Sea lions, harbor seals, birds, sea otters all hang out there. More wild life than you would see in Monterey and Santa Cruz in a very condensed area. It’s also migration season so there are a lot of visiting birds that are not season year round.

@LilaScherer Год назад

Sea lions are the regulars at the santa cruz boardwalk pier! Welcome!

@violet_blue5286 Год назад

I'm so happy you enjoyed the coast and especially Santa Cruz. I'm just a walking distance away from the wharf and love it so much. So happy I found you your video.

@johntabasz1219 Год назад

Santa Cruz has a massive homelessness/drug addict issue. Without getting political about it, the place you overnighted, where you saw the other RVs and felt reassured, is one of the places where houseless/homeless folks who have RVs park them until the city clears them out. Generally safe, but not bucolic at all. Stay safe, enjoy the sites. I'd go to Anza Borrego Desert State Park and Death Valley this time of year. Loads of dispersed camping, beautiful, and unique, especially for native Carolinians.

@rakereldridge6210 Год назад

I love the colors of the ocean at Monterey! I was happy to see the sea lions and otters.

@AnimalFacts Год назад

It’s a Pride of Lions 😄 great video, big fan.

@michaelcummings7246 Год назад

Was going to say that as well. Here's something else I found as well while looking around for that. A group of seals can be called: bob, harem, herd, pod, or rookery. I expect like the sealions some of those are used depending on if they are in the water or on shore but in the couple sources I looked at they didn't say. Another interesting one I just ran across is a group of seastars is a constellation 😀

@walkpastime778 Год назад

@liab563 Год назад

The squirrels at Lovers Point are determined. I was once sitting on the rock fence eating lunch and one practically crawled into my lap! Even after I put the food away, it kept inching closer to see what I was doing (I was writing).

There is so much more to Santa Cruz & wish you could have gone in at least one hike to see the view of the ocean from a different vantage! Next time!!!

@patireland3345 Год назад

Good views of the coast and associated wildlife. Thanks for sharing. Monterey is a great destination. Carmel next door, the Aquarium, 17 mile drive, and for some, Laguna Seca, all make wonderful visits. The coast to the South should make fantastic adds to your experience.

I was so excited to see this video as you explored Monterey. It’s our favorite place to visit! I agree with you, I could sit and watch the ocean for hours there. We use that bathroom all the time 😂 I’ll have to ask my wife about the sign next time she uses it. 🤭

@shannonwhiting6668 Год назад

Winter is the rainy season in California, so don't expect it to let up too much. My first winter moving back to CA as an adult, I swear it rained for 8 weeks straight but the spring was amazing and everything was so green it was worth the rain 😀. Glad to see you made it to Santa Cruz and Monterey. Huntington Beach would be a nice spot for you all to visit. Can't wait to see how you all like LA. I know it will be an interesting experience for you two. Just stay safe and use your common sense when visiting the area as parts of LA are a bit sketchy. Have fun!!!😀😀😀

@JimmyandNatalie Год назад

That's good to hear at least that this rain is normal! I'm honestly surprised we made it this far without getting rained on while we're out exploring 😅 We absolutely loved Santa Cruz & Monterey (Monterey might be our favorite so far) and it'll be fun to see more of CA 💚

@pattitai1834 Год назад

When did you experience that kind of rain. I was born and raised here, and we’ve been in continuous drought mode since 1970. I certainly missed the 8 weeks of rain! 🤣

@pattitai1834 Год назад

I’m watching this video because I recognized the background as I was scrolling. (I’m local.) I’m glad you enjoyed the area, and I hope you’re safe wherever you travel. That being said, has anyone considered the safety and well-being of local residents? I’ve lived here for 65 years. It used to be much safer, cleaner, and more polite. Camping has become prohibitively expensive, sometimes costing nearly as much as a hotel room. However, there are some stealth campers who leave garbage to be cleaned up by locals. Some visitors to this area behave in an entitled manner, coming across as rude. The worst thing is not knowing who is inside the vans. Often parents must drive their children to destinations that people once walked or rode bike to for a couple of reasons. Tourists do not drive in a considerate manner, and we don’t know if the people inside the vans are sexual predators or unsafe for some other reason. The police stop by vans parked nearby and knock…and wait…and knock. The people inside the vans remain quite and do not respond. Eventually, the police leave. I have not seen anyone get a ticket or get towed. I will have to check into that. Not everyone is as pleasant as this young couple.

@andrewpereira9271 Год назад

I checked out this vid because I live in the area . . . halfway between Santa Cruz and Monterey. I've eaten at that taco joint, though it's been years . . . there's only a few hundred, just like it, in the area. Glad to know it's still good (now you know why it's not easy finding a Taco Bell). Anyway, there are thousands of quiet, safe places to park overnight around here. Obviously, one needs local knowledge to know where they are, and these spots won't typically have ocean views. Also, I'm very impressed by the quality of your video. I was surprised by how well it was done. The camera work, the drone shots, the scenery and wildlife . . . all of it, really first-rate. You did the area proud. Enjoy your time out here.

@michellepisciotta1 Год назад

I really enjoyed finding this today, so thank you! Lover’s Point is actually located in the small town of Pacific Grove, and it was originally dubbed “Lovers of Jesus Point”. The small city (known for the monarch butterflies these days) was a very popular Christian retreat during the turn of the century and droves of Christians would come to camp all over town. Some of the little cracker box Victorian houses are actually structures that were built on tiny lots originally zoned for camping tents! My mother told us that her generation would say: “Carmel by the Sea, Monterey by the Smell , and Pacific Grove by God”! That pretty much summed up the collective theme of the Peninsula! Have fun out there and enjoy your adventure!

@Sandman831 Год назад

I'm from Pacific Grove and what Michelle has shared is accurate. PG started as a Methodist retreat where they would have very strict rules, one of which was that you had to have a window open at least 6 inches so they could come by to look and ensure you weren't doing anything you weren't supposed to be doing. The Monterey Peninsula is a special place. Stoked it was showcased in this video.

@clarkleakins879 Год назад

Little tip for you: Many towns have local free newspapers. Santa Cruz in "Good times" found in little kiosks. Lists what is going on, advertising/restaurant cupons/recommended. Also, find the Chamber of commerce, or visitors bureau. They always give good local intel. YOU gotta do the Boardwalk!!!! Ride the Big Dipper! And the Carousel is super unique and beautiful! Capitola!? Seacliff!? You missed Pescadero!!!!
