Idyllwild, California. A Weekend in the Great Outdoors.

Annette and I spend a relaxing weekend in our local mountains. Idyllwild, CA. is the setting for this adventure which took place in October, 2019. Guest starring Chet Ripley;)

I love this drive! Such beautiful scenery, I used to drive through there just to relax and unwind :).

Thank you for the kind words. I’m glad you saw through my wise cracking and realized we really do love spending weekends in Idyllwild!

Too bad you didn’t capture the gas price on the Chevron to compare with what it is today. . . Sorta like Die Hard when Al’s stuffing his face with a Twinkie while looking up at the Nakahoma Plaza building and the AM/PM price is 77 cents a gallon! Nice little video!

You are funny :D Thanks for the video.

Ahh 'The Great Outdoors'. That takes me back! Looks a nice place Carl. I'd have to head that way if I ever get west as Elvis filmed Kid Galahad in Idyllwood 🙂😉

[@disneydadoo6112]

Sounds good! I'm thinking you could string together a fairly decent "Elvis Filming Locations" trip/vlog series!

@@disneydadoo6112 🤔🤔....I meant 'wild' not 'wood' 🤦‍♂️

[@ALBINOSHADO]

Looks great, guessing there is a lot of snow now though

[@disneydadoo6112]

You'd think so, but I just checked their live web cam and most of the snow is gone! Just a bit in the shadows, etc. - Thanks for watching!

Hello you’re in the mountains, most mountains have oak trees. If you wanted luxury you could of stayed at the Idyllwild Lodge. I live right up the road and my house backs up against Nature Center which is beautiful. You just aren’t mountain people, we are Hardy.

[@disneydadoo6112]

Guilty as charged! We are not mountain people, but we love Idyllwild! We have been going to Idyllwild 2 or 3 times a year for the last 25 years! We don't require luxury, and this was our third time staying at the Idyllwild Bunkhouse. We do also love to hike (often to the Nature Center), so we used to camp at the county campsite (Idyllwild Park) often but we have indeed grown less "hardy" with the passing years;)

you need a net over your hat.... keeps the bugs away.

[@disneydadoo6112]

So true! It was only bad in that one area, but man they’re persistent little buggers!
