California Coast Road Trip / Pacific Coast Highway / Fort Bragg to San Francisco
CALIFORNIA COAST ROAD TRIP / PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY / FORT BRAGG TO SAN FRANCISCO - I did some Pacific Coast highway camping just north of Fort Bragg California off of the California Highway 1. The Pacific Ocean crashed against the rocks below. If you’re taking a California Coast road trip then I highly suggest traveling along the Pacific Coast Highway (also called the PCH) on Highway One and stopping at Glass Beach, Mendocino, and Point Arena lighthouse.
I’ve been on the Pacific Coast Highway drive before, but never as an RV road trip where now I get to explore more as I RV California coast and stop and enjoy more of the Pacific coast and the California Coastal highway. A Pacific Coast Highway road trip is a must see on the California coast.

★ Season 2, Episode 22: Fort Bragg to San Francisco California on Pacific Coast Highway
★ How I Got Started
Hi, I'm Amber and in May 2017 I started this nomadic journey after selling my house and all my belongings to pursue this crazy dream of living out of my RV full-time and traveling all around North America.
After 1 year of traveling, I sold my 26 foot Winnebago Class C RV for a more nimble Class B Hymer Aktiv van. I couldn't have been more excited to continue my second year in a van that allows me to travel to more places and experience more in life.

Part 2 Our Day Hike through Montgomery Woods State Reserve, Comptche, Ca.
My last day of hiking with my friend David in the northern California forests, came as a complete surprise. He mentioned a cool reserve, not too far from his property in Fort Bragg, Ca. I was totally taken aback by the hidden , far from the tourist haven as was Avenue of the Giants near Myers Flat, and Redwood Forest State Preserve in Orrick,Ca.
Anyway, we found more bipedal sign here in this remote spot. I'm talking more mini structure , larger structure, tree caves, rock caves, and a calm feeling. In no way did we get consumed by the overwhelming feeling of walking in a circular vortex for 3 hours as we felt near Pepperwood hiking trails. Anyway, enjoy the videos..

Lost Coast Trail California Road Trip & California PCH
LOST COAST TRAIL CALIFORNIA ROAD TRIP & CALIFORNIA PCH // Discover the rugged lost coast trail and decide if you’ll complete a Lost Coast road trip along the west coast of California off of highway 101. It was an incredible experience traveling the Lost Coast trail and its 67 miles that spanned 4 hours. The Lost Coast scenic drive made me nervous with it’s crazy roads, twists and turns and steep inclines. I thought maybe the Lost Coast trail southern section would be better, but alas it was no different with its crazy roads then the northern part of California’s Lost Coast.
While traveling on my west coast road trip along the California PCH road trip I wanted to make sure I accomplished the Lost Coast trail drive since it’s a quest drive out of National Geographic 300 scenic highways and byways. Lost Coast California is truly a one-of a kind experience that left me a bit shaken, but glad I did and saw the raw beauty and ended with the Redwoods.

Russian Gulch
Let's take a walk through Russian Gulch State Park in Mendocino, California. Russian Gulch was a Civilian Conservation Corps project during the Great Depression. Several projects were completed in Mendocino County thanks to the CCC.
Also, March is a really green time of year for the coast. I have done nothing to the color saturation of the video. It really does look that striking green.

Dragnet: Big Gangster Part 1 / Big Gangster Part 2 / Big Book
Dragnet is a radio and television crime drama about the cases of a dedicated Los Angeles police detective, Sergeant Joe Friday, and his partners. The show takes its name from an actual police term, a dragnet, meaning a system of coordinated measures for apprehending criminals or suspects.
Dragnet debuted inauspiciously. The first several months were bumpy, as Webb and company worked out the program's format and eventually became comfortable with their characters (Friday was originally portrayed as more brash and forceful than his later usually relaxed demeanor). Gradually, Friday's deadpan, fast-talking persona emerged, described by John Dunning as a cop's cop, tough but not hard, conservative but caring. (Dunning, 210) Friday's first partner was Sergeant Ben Romero, portrayed by Barton Yarborough, a longtime radio actor. After Yarborough's death in 1951 (and therefore Romero's, who also died of a heart attack, as acknowledged on the December 27, 1951 episode The Big Sorrow), Friday was partnered with Sergeant Ed Jacobs (December 27, 1951 - April 10, 1952, subsequently transferred to the Police Academy as an instructor), played by Barney Phillips; Officer Bill Lockwood (Ben Romero's nephew, April 17, 1952 - May 8, 1952), played by Martin Milner (with Ken Peters taking the role for the June 12, 1952 episode The Big Donation); and finally Frank Smith, played first by Herb Ellis (1952), then Ben Alexander (September 21, 1952-1959). Raymond Burr was on board to play the Chief of Detectives. When Dragnet hit its stride, it became one of radio's top-rated shows.
Webb insisted on realism in every aspect of the show. The dialogue was clipped, understated and sparse, influenced by the hardboiled school of crime fiction. Scripts were fast moving but didn't seem rushed. Every aspect of police work was chronicled, step by step: From patrols and paperwork, to crime scene investigation, lab work and questioning witnesses or suspects. The detectives' personal lives were mentioned but rarely took center stage. (Friday was a bachelor who lived with his mother; Romero, a Mexican-American from Texas, was an ever fretful husband and father.) Underplaying is still acting, Webb told Time. We try to make it as real as a guy pouring a cup of coffee. (Dunning, 209) Los Angeles police chiefs C.B. Horrall, William A. Worton, and (later) William H. Parker were credited as consultants, and many police officers were fans.
Most of the later episodes were entitled The Big _____, where the key word denoted a person or thing in the plot. In numerous episodes, this would the principal suspect, victim, or physical target of the crime, but in others was often a seemingly inconsequential detail eventually revealed to be key evidence in solving the crime. For example, in The Big Streetcar the background noise of a passing streetcar helps to establish the location of a phone booth used by the suspect.
Throughout the series' radio years, one can find interesting glimpses of pre-renewal Downtown L.A., still full of working class residents and the cheap bars, cafes, hotels and boarding houses which served them. At the climax of the early episode James Vickers, the chase leads to the Subway Terminal Building, where the robber flees into one of the tunnels only to be killed by an oncoming train. Meanwhile, by contrast, in other episodes set in outlying areas, it is clear that the locations in question are far less built up than they are today. Today, the Imperial Highway, extending 40 miles east from El Segundo to Anaheim, is a heavily used boulevard lined almost entirely with low-rise commercial development. In an early Dragnet episode scenes along the Highway, at the road to San Pedro, clearly indicate that it still retained much the character of a country highway at that time.
