Growing up in the 70s & 80s in Mill Valley, California

I was inspired by my son to tell some of my childhood stories. He always tells me you have so many great stories to tell. Here are some from my childhood. In 1972 I moved to Strawberry a suburb of Mill Valley from Capitola. Then in the 80s to downtown Mill Valley. I hope you enjoy some of my stories as much as I enjoyed telling them.

Amazing Hand Built RC Boats on the Lake
Really interesting! Thanks for posting~ Our experience was happenstance; hubby had a sudden diagnosis of large brain tumor Christmas time '16; after his 1st surgery I'd randomly booked (2am-kids & I exsausted) us a rm at the Queen Anne hotel SF. I didn't know its history! super interesting place, very pretty.(& haunted apparently) Survived the 1906 quake & fires. Our focus was of course zooming to & fro to the hosp; hubby was in bad shape. The Q Anne was super super calm. I recall lighting a starter log in the tiny fireplace in our rm-& kind of mindlessly realised it was still rather unburnt though like 10 hrs went by?! We were anx of hubby, so if a 'presense' was near us, we wouldn't noticed really~You may enjoy walking around that hotel; lots of antiques, 4 floors (we stayed on 3rd & 4th), a lobby, etc. Happy New Yr!
Like your fortune. My granddad Leonard used dowsing to find water in order to dig a well. He used a forked stick from a green tree limb.
Nice wheelslip catch! Why everyone allowed to be too close?
It stopped in a tiny town and I don't think they were prepared for all the people. It was super hot 110 that day so no one had much energy to do much but look. I was worried my phone would overheat. I got several messages that it would shut down but I kept filming. eventually, it turned off due to the heat.
The BC Rich Rich Bitch in blue is very hard to find!!! Those are scarce!!!!! Wish you spent time on that and a few of the Jacksons!!!!!! Some of the Les Paul Customs were obviously 1970s including a few in cherry sunburst!!!! I closer look at those guitars which are now hitting 50 years old!!!!! The first half of the decade is 50!!!!!! I sold that stuff NEW and USED!!!!! Sold Jackson guitars in the 1980's lots of NEW Jackson guitars left the shop I spent NOW 43 years at!!!!
It's with these engines that we built the cities
John is good man knows history better than anyone i know
16" guns are not mortars. Some pre WW2 costal fortifications around the world might have both guns and mortars. Mortars can be smooth bore or rifled and some of them going back to the Civil War period could be quite large. But the mortar is short range high angle fire weapon and AFAIK none of them had anything remotely close to the range of a 16" gun (or the 16" naval rifle in the video). Your relative is mistaken, there were never any underground aircraft hangers. If there were underground hangers, then there would have to have been above ground runways or a catapult launcher similar to those used on capital ships to launch float planes. Those shipboard systems required the ship to steam into the wind in order to have enough air flow (lift) over the wings. There were no ground-based catapult systems in the pre WW2 era. Those on shipboard were for launching a slow recon aircraft, not a fighter or a bomber and would have been useless in an actual attack.
@fred1barb Thank you for your amazing knowledge of the subjects. My brother was only 14 when he told me of the underground aircraft. I'm sure he was fabricating it.
@@Bayareaandbeyond777 Old sites with a bit of mystery often develop a sort of mythical history. Once long ago some of us spent a good many afternoons looking in Leona Heights for the 6000 foot long mine tunnel under Redwood Rd. It seemed plausibile. there had been mines north of the road and there were still three accessible adits at mines south of the road. But the man who told a local reporter that he had walked through the tunnel was a bit confused. There was never a tunnel. What I think likely is that he imagined the addits once connected or he confused some memory of the abandoned RR and high level auto tunnels that were further north.
I like old towns. That church tower rings the same tune a s the tower at UT Austin. Amazing museum artifacts Paul. The Catholic Church has lots of money.
@@woodypope7421 i never thought of the money they have, but the value of the things in the museum are high.
Love these father son hikes! Love you both! Nice fishing worms. I once tried to farm worms in Grapevine, Tx. Great nature hike. Good video Paul!
Love you too. I would dig for worms with your dad in Oakcliff.
Yes, he was an avid fisherman and hunter. He taught me both.
What a beautiful trail, thanks for taking us along.
I appreciate your comment and view. Thank you
Like the surfers looks like a drone shot? That's one big gun! Reminds me of the Nike base you filmed. The guys explaining it all were very good. Good video Paul!
Thanks for sharing, as a local to the area, it was fascinating to hear this history. Our neighbors father was a consultant on the replanting of native plants after the construction.
The Bay Area is full of a lot of interesting history. I grew up in Mill Valley and visited the Headlands often. Thank you for your comments.
So where's the air horn buttons at?
@@rafasharahandika9740 Isn't it a rope?
Wish I'd visited this on my trip, but not easy to get to without a car. Thanks for the 📹
Hello, i was here at a similar time a few weeks ago from the Uk, as far as i remember the tunnel does not in fact go to the other side. Sutro built a lot of things in this area, I would like to learn more about the railroad he created to this area, but has now disappeared into a pathway.
@CA_I Trian, i didn't know he built a train. Very interesting.
I love this! My Dad served at the Dorseyville Nike Site in Pittsburgh. I have fond memories of visiting the site in special occasions.
@thomasb.passante2968 Very cool, I'm glad you liked the video. Thanks for watching.
Artwork is amazing Paul! Reminds me of the art from back in the 70's here in Dallas. Hippiedom lives. Good video!
Wow that egging the police, never heard that one. That area where your rope swing was…I built a low-to-the-ground treehouse/ fort and slept in it in 1973.Also made a super 8mm home movie with my Space 1999’Eagle’model. I suspect Mr. Kline footed the expenses of all those expensive camping & also weekly field trips!?
Ermmm actually the engine is 700k pounds 👆🤓 while the tender fills the remaining 500k pounds.

Is this broad or standard gauge cuz im lokey curious
Thanks for sharing, I grew up also in Mill Valley and went to Tam. I was there about 10 years before you, but have similar memories of Tam and the area.
@mkramme I'm glad you enjoyed it. I have a lot of stories of growing up in Marin. I will eventually tell. Thanks for watching.
That liquor store dude probably just thought of you as an extra little brother. Couldn't happen nowadays because everybody is convinced there's a PDF-file hiding behind every rock, which is a shame. But the news doesn't report on the 150 million normal guys who don't have any weird intentions, only the 20 who do, so that's all anybody thinks about.
Wow Paul! Nice tour! You have a lot of good memories there. Thanks for sharing this. You have a lot of good stories of your youth. I'm glad you had those.
Thank you for your retrospective of Mill Valley…great perspective on how a small town developed into a wealthy community. Thanks for your humility.
@williamwild2188 As you can see, I loved Mill Valley. But now I'm not so sure. Thanks for watching.
Nice Vuarnets 80's guy. Redwood rules!
Redwood had hotter girls.
I saw that thing in person and it was impressive
"That is a big train" No, no. That is a Big *Boy
The most beautiful sights of metal in motion on this earth! Perfect catch of the wheel slip too. 😎💯
@PhoenixRising251 The story before I took this video was crazy. I drove up to Oroville to see it cross the feather river. I thought I could jump in my car and catch it in town. The town is 5 minutes away. Immediately, I was in heavy traffic. Everyone had the same idea I did. I stressed out because I couldn't find close parking. I finally found parking and processed to walk fast towards the train depot. I turned the corner, and there were about 300 people surrounding the BigBoy. It was extremely hot also. It was 110 outside, and I was worried my phone would overheat. One of my cameras already overheated. As I found my spot within 1 minute, it left the depot. That the footage you see. It was absolutely breathtaking to see so close.
@Bayareaandbeyond777 I bet your stress plummeted heading back to your car after all that. You'll remember that day all the way to your grave. 💯
Awesome Attack Helicopter, The Zulu Viper 🐍 💪💪🇺🇸😎
Amazing Paul. The tunnel was interesting. The was a large swimming pool in Oak Cliff(not as big as this) where I grew up that was closed down because of too many drownings as the life guards couldn't watch such a large area. I wonder if they had the same problem here? Very interesting story Paul. Good video.
I never thought of the dangers of it. I'm sure there were issues with it. Sea water is not super clear either.
they hated my grandfather he was an american indian..they cut off one of his fingers to let him know who was boss.
@sonnywhitefeathermarshall6899 That's a very sad story. I'm so sorry for your grandfather's suffering. I hate how evil people can be.

Oh man, to have had that whistle down at the Downtown San Diego Santa Fe Depot when the quiet zone had expired…
I remember when Disney Land had that dark ride where you are shrunken down to explore the human body(or something like that).
Was that in Tomorrow Land?
@ Yes, in 1975 or 1976.

Like the lighthouse lens. The video on the Bay history was interesting. SF in it's hay day was a big maritime center with tons of activity. Cool stuff Paul!

I love the small town feel. Good stories by folks. The tank story was classic British. Lots of Corvettes. Like the drum major and band.Great Model A Ford. What's parade without Fire Trucks? Old cars are the best. 57' Chevy, my favorite.
What about the Jeeps?
