This is John Muir meets motocamping and it is everything! Another great episode.
I hadn't seen this one before...AWSOME! This is motorcycle riding and nature at its best. What a cool campsite.
Glad you enjoyed it
Lots of unbelievable camp sites on the Smith.. only accessible by motorcycle.. don't tell anyone.. ssshhhhh
Sterling…. I’m just in awe watching this episode. Really beautiful work. Thank you for all the work you’re putting into taking us along!
Lifelong resident of this area. Thanks for posting this & glad you enjoyed your stay!
Loved this one ...
Why ?... Simplicity no more no less.
We all of us dream of our own “Adventures” no matter what they are, life is what you make of it we all need to take time out from social pressures to be what others want of us ...To be who we truly are....
Thanks for showing us the Hill....How about we Go climb it guys 🤔 🥰.....🥃🏴
Peaceful. Desert man appreciates the green forest and water. Doesn’t get any better. Love it & thank you.
Doesn't get any better than this..
Thanks again Sterling
While I was watching this stunning Natural beauty... I was Praying to save it from Fire 🔥... I was in California 1998 I have been there and Yosemite Park...thin I back 1999 there was a Fire down there .. A Disaster one... I was so sad
Thank you for bringing back this beautiful memories....and Sad one.... may God Protect all the beautiful Nature in the world....
Greetings from Kingdom of Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 🌴 💐
he missed "The Avenue of the Giants" and the beach outside of Ferndale (where the movie The Majestic) was filmed. Guess ya can't see it all. There is so much to see in Northern California. Great video.
Sterling I'm leaving this Tuesday, day after tomorrow from 30 miles southeast of Atlanta, riding my FJR1300a. My destination, a week or more after that is Seattle, where I'll visit my son.California and the Redwood Forest are in the journey, although I seldom make a concrete plan, as that sometimes has me distracted. After following a spiritual calling that led my life on behalf of workers, my mind is still very open to the world around me.
I'm nearly 63 now, and very little truly gives me inspiration any more, other than traveling through the wind with natures art gallery to touch my life. It's why I so appreciate the quality and thoughtfulness that you put into your video content. I can watch your travels when I'm unable to experience the same things you're doing. It keeps me going. It gives an old man hope for our future in America, and I'm renewed and ready for the next day and hopeful for my next possible journey. No expectations just an adventurous heart open to the world. My only fear is that when I get to the west coast again and stop to enjoy the grandeur of the Pacific Ocean, that I won't have the courage to leave and trek on. Best Wishes my friend from a fellow soul journeyman.
Thank you so much for the soulful and thoughtful comment!
I have learnt a bit more today having watched this video
Making time to chill at the end of the day is very important
Thanks
Perfect!
So perfect , I've done highway 1on my Harley and it brings back so many great memories.
Good to hear!
You’re in my neck of the woods! Some world class riding around here…always enjoy your work!
Thank You... I've only been on the west coast for 5 years, and only ridden bikes here for 2.. but this ride is my happy place, and I appreciate you showcasing it
Dude! I love these videos. Where you can just listen to the sounds of camping. It’s peaceful. I always like watching your videos when I’m
Preparing for a long motorcycle trip.
Riding through those Redwoods is how I hope the hereafter will feel if I’ve lived a good life…
Great film as usual in all dimensions, technical, artistic, subject.
Amen brother!
Great video! You are a professional at what you do. We always enjoy your content. 🏆
So beautiful and peaceful 😊
Beautiful video sterling, I did a bucket list trip through the Redwoods and Yosemite this year before heading to the east coast beaches. The Redwood need to be experienced on two wheels, the smells, moisture and enormity of the Redwoods truly mystical. Thank you.
Me and my daughter's and favorite camping park is Richardson Grove State Park. Your tent is pitched under HUGE redwood trees. Deer. Great swimming in an adjacent river. Thx
As always, you are the Master of all things moto-film!
You are doing a great job, your videos are very interesting. Thanks ❤️🔥🔥😎👌
All of my favorite moto-camping adventures have been on that stretch of coastline. Redwoods, rugged coast… can’t beat it.
Thanks bud that was relaxing I appreciate it!
Love these trees! Most beautiful part of California. Thanks for such a grounding video. Huge respect to your filming/editing style 🙏
Great video Sterling as always. Glad you're enjoying the west coast. Thanks.
Really good vid Stirling. The music selection was spot on. Oh, I've ran a bunch of that. More than very impressive. Both car and motorcycle had tree sticking out both sides. And a camera, well there's more tree than I had camera. Sometime check beyond the boundary and see the stumps with smaller ones growing. There are miles of them. I wonder what it was like when the first residents arrived. When I was ayoung and up to say 25 yrs. old I built a lot of houses with redwood in the framing anf trim. Several places and my house have redwood 2x12 steps and stringers. Very common then. Clients made me paint it white. So sad.
Uggghh!!! I’ve sanded lots of paint off of mahogany and other fine woods in my lifetime.
Outstanding roads and vistas
Great cooking ideas too.
I enjoy your videos
Thank you
Did you come through Grants Pass, Oregon? That’s our home town. We were just over in the Redwoods yesterday. We can’t ride through the Redwoods enough. That area on Highway 101 near Crescent City has been under construction for years now. We’re just used to it now. Your video is awesome. Thanks for taking us along for the ride
Once again this video shows you are the best motorcycle cinematographer on TH-cam, excellent work thank you
Beautiful! I am from the deep south, and riding the California cost is very much on my bucket list!
You should!
Another great video Sterling! Ride safe!.
Beautiful video honey! Bravo! 🌲💚
As usual, a very good video. Thank you for making great videos for us to enjoy. Greetings from Norway
Thank you very much!
great video as usual and fantastic campsite i like the set-up with the tarp , there a nice redwood forest before you get to Tofino , BC... fantastic place also
Love it. I did a ride from Rogue River, OR to the Coast and down the Avenue of the Giants to the Bay area to visit my grandkids just a few weeks ago. It's an amazing ride with beautiful scenery all the way to about 150 miles North of the Bay Area itself when you hit population centers. Took my Multistrada Rally. Love the videos, and especially the cinematography Sterling. Great work!
One more thing: if you choose to ride the Avenue of the Giants and are in need of a place to stay, I chose the Miranda Garden Resort in Miranda right on the Avenue. Great location with cute cabins of various sizes. It's not the cheapest choice but great when you want a roof over your head for the night.
A beautiful area that we’ve ridden in and been to various times. I camped there in the ‘60’s when I was hitchhiking the west coast. Revisited on motorcycles in the early 2000’s.
Hi Nick
The Eldorado sounds good! Nice bark from the mufflers. I love the Moto Guzzi music.
What a wonderful video👍
Awesome Vid! We are camped at Eureka Elks in my 5th Wheel RV. We are northbound from So. CA on Hwy 1 and the 101. Alaska or Bust!
Nice... inspiring capture..
Sterling, you are my favorite motorcycle traveller/reporter. Thank you and Happy Birthday!
Great views.
Thanks for sharing.
I only ride there in the winter, campgrounds are mostly closed. Lot of nice days just not warm. Not much traffic is a plus.
Gorgeous! Thank you for sharing.
In the 80s, a friend and I went rock climbing in California. We had been driving a long distance and stopped to camp at 2 AM in some wildlife area that was apparently used primarily for snowmobiles in the winter. It was pitch black and we stumbled into the woods, threw up the tent and collapsed. We awoke the next morning in a redwood forest. It was like awakening in the Land That Time Forgot. We recalled stumbling over football sized objects on the way to camp in the pitch black the night before. Those were redwood pine cones. The redwood forest was an awe inspiring experience. I felt small, but not insignificant. The majesty of the giant redwoods is magical.
Cool story! I’ve had a lot of nights where I’ve set up camp in the dark, and then been amazed at where I was at when the sun came up.
>"We recalled stumbling over football sized objects on the way to camp in the pitch black the night before. Those were redwood pine cones. "
Eh ? Nope. Redwood cones are tiny, about the the size of your thumb nail. Redwoods only grow in the low-lying fog belt along the coast. Football sized cones probably were from a Sugar Pine.
@@yowser8780 - Interesting. I clearly remember the huge pine cones that were the length of a football but with less girth, and we definitely camped in huge towering conifers but I don't remember exactly where it was in California. I have freakishly long arms and I couldn't wrap my arms halfway around the circumference of the trees, but I don't remember those huge pine cones where we camped in the woods. They were in the short hike from the parking lot into the woods. I found an image online comparing Seed Cones Of California Pines, and the sugar pine cone looked like what I remembered. According to Wikipedia, the sugar pine has a trunk diameter up to eight feet. Large as that is, it's a little smaller than I remember, but close enough that I can chalk it up to the imprecision and fallibility of human memory. The sugar pine range stretches through much of California.
Thanks for this video Sterling...I visited and camped in Crescent City a couple years back and this video was very nostalgic...there is nothing like those trees. I love your content and very much appreciate you continuing to inspire us all to get out there.
You inspire me us and all people who love moto riding and camping I learn this simple life from the way you are doing and sharing Nicely done ✅🔥🎶🌿🏍🇨🇦
Born and raised in Humboldt. Makes me very homesick. Nice vid. Thanks!
Paman Noren sehat selalu dan jangan lupa untuk selalu berhati-hati dalam berkendara,
Salam dari Indonesia 🙏
Mash potatoes in thermos. What a great idea. I ordered the cooler and thermos myself, looking forward to using myself. Great cinematography as always.Thanks Sterling.
Another great video!
Thanks for another serene and scenic episode. I so look forward to each installation. Thanks again..
Enjoy!
Thank you for posting. Great video.
Your episode conveys the sombre mood in those forests. Great stuff! Your travel films are so much more than seen it tick off my bucket list. Günter/Nürnberg
That's a new buck list ride for me. Thank you for sharing, Sterling!
Wow brings back memories of my last stay in Sequoia national park... almost 40yrs ago😂 I stood in some of the exact spots on PCH1. Thank you for the nostalgic reminders!
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Great video, enjoyed it.
Great video/photography work, and even some excellent tips on how to use the same container to mix food and store leftovers, shake out dirt from the tent and wrap guy lines. The way you camp and travel made the whole experience look amazing. Thanks!
Great place to ride.
That last campground was amazing.
Thanks for showing us mate 👍
Very beautiful video!
Great video😊
Beautiful.
Thankyou for sharing this with us =)
Beautiful scenery, thanks for sharing the red woods, it's amazing. Be safe 🙏🏾
You inspired me Sterling. I will take 1 moto camping trip each month 1-2 days each. Grateful for your inspiration.
Awesome footage Sterling, a true artist.
Great video that brings back so many fantastic memories of these areas. Seeing a large redwood tree for the first time kind of totally redefined what a tree is really like. I am fortunate enough to live just a day or two away from the Oregon coast and will be planning another ride in early September once the hordes of tourists on the coast are thinning out a bit. Keep bringing these beautiful videos, I can't get enough of them!
Thanks again Sterling as you continue to out do yourself!!!
Thanks for posting, really enjoyed it. Love how organized you are!
Brilliant video Sterling. I could sit and watch this exact relaxing content for hours! Keep it up
Fastest camp set up I have ever seen! 😂
loved the mood of this one and the cooking as always! Thank you for the amazing content and inspiration.
Simply Zen.
I love your video riding through the California Redwoods. It was especially nice for me to see the area from a motorcyclists perspective.
My father was a Forest Ranger in Richardson's Grove State Park for several years, not far from where you camped.. It is still a very a special place for me.
I enjoyed how you captured the feeling of the area.
This is an area where it's nice to ride through it slowly.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I took a trip the past 2 years through that area, it's such a nice ride. Great video
Love this. I just returned from a trip along the northern coast of oragon into washington. There the beaches are similar with the craggy rocks on them where the forests stretches right to the sea are otherworldly. Such a site to behold. Thank you for doing what you do.
Great video Sterling. Brought back a lot of good memories. Looking forward to more vids from Nor Cal. Thanks
Awesome camp here.🏍⛺👍
Perfectly captured! I was there this past summer on my GS and the Sue Meg campground is wonderful. Safe travels !
Beautiful
That redwood forest is amazing - what a place to camp. Can you tell us about the hanging tarp that you used here?
Those drone shots are great. Nice work.
Thanks for sharing the name of the campsites and roads, half the reason I watch travel videos is to get ideas for my trips but a lot of people dont tell where they are at. I do understand that some places need to be kept a secret but it is nice to know where it is your look at too
Great episode. Haven't seen red woods since I was a kid. I'd love to go up as an adult. Especially with my motorcycle.
so nice
Glad to see that the Redwoods are still standing.
Great photography as usual and I especially enjoyed the quiet natural sounds during the second half. A picture speaks a 1000 words, and the sounds of nature round it out. It’s always great to hear a crackling wood fire, it takes me back to so many places of my youth 👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it
It's Peaceful
❤The Redwoods...i plan on doing similar trek South from Grants Pass in a few weeks. Hoping tent spot is avail in Jedidiah SP which i stayed at a few years ago. If not I'll keep on a truckin' or may divert back to O'Brien and over to Happy Camp/Klamath River...
Great cinematography, great shots, and story telling as always. I liked how you did the rain fly tarp for the motorcycle.
Thanks a lot!
Wonderful video! My wife and I did that same route back in the 80s on our Goldwing. Only problem with your videos, Sterling, is that they aren't long enough!
Your camp is next level and then combined with the filming it seems a very streamlined and fine tuned process. Impressive. It’s interesting you just stuff the tent/fly/tarp into the drybag…I think I learned something as I spend too much time trying to get it dry and folding it into the original bag.
Welcome to Homeboldt :)
Sterling! your cooking like a mother without the Ragu! Nice work, very enjoyable
I really hope i can see the redwoods before I die
Ahh, perfect Sunday morning. Went to the chicken coop collected fresh eggs. Threw some bacon on the cast iron skillet and scrambled some eggs. Added my homemade salsa from my organic garden and wrapped it all up in a organic low carb tortilla. Fresh cup of coffee. Feet up living vicariously through Sterlings lens. Thank you Sterling for another great start to my week.
Love it!!
After breakfast morning oats, you took off for a walk and I thought to myself "Does a bear shit in the woods?"....
Dropping down Last Chance Grade before Trees of Mystery was my commute for 5 years. It can be the most beautiful drive ever or terrible, weather dependent. Robert Pirsig hit it on a bad day. If you haven’t left Humboldt County yet, hopefully you hit the Wildcat Road and check out the Lost Coast. I’m hoping you have some input on the Northern California BDR.
Great content!
Have fun and ride safe!

Lost coast is coming up soon!
Oh man that looks incredible. One of the things on my Riding List is to ride my bike through a Red Wood tree. Too bad you could not stay another night, seemed like a lot of work to set all that up and leave the next morning.
