Last night the city was loud and noisy. I’ve been hanging around Eureka, a city in Humboldt County of Northern California. I like cities and I like Eureka. But sometimes it is nice to find some peace and quiet. And one of my favorite quiet places is only a few miles drive from Eureka.
First though, we stop at the casino to fill up with gas, since it has the best price on gas in this county. Then we make a quick stop in Ferndale to buy a cup of coffee at Mind’s Eye Manufactory & Coffee Lounge. Mind’s Eye is one of the most unique coffee shops anywhere. And they make great coffee.
After fueling up, we drive out to Fleener Creek on the Lost Coast. Fleener Creek has become my favorite hiking trail. The short trail leads down to the beach. And the beach is often deserted. Which makes the area extra special.
Today was nice. I got to see pelicans and waves and dramatic scenery here on The Lost Coast of California. And I made taquitos for dinner. Can’t imagine a better day.

My name is Scott and in 2015, I bought a Ram ProMaster City to live in. Even though I didn’t know much about RV’s and campervans, I set about building the van out as a minivan camper. And in April of 2016, I moved into my minivan full time.
Over the years, I’ve learned you don’t need to have a big skill set to build your own campervan. And that living as a minimalist and utilizing solar power can be a less expensive way to live. I’ve also learned that a minivan can be a very comfortable home.
Please follow along as I document my journey.

We care. You said no one cares but we do
I think he is right
@@Noonecarea45 You would.
The Bob Ross of vanlife. I always enjoy listening to you speak, it’s very calming.
👍
It’s 3.37 am here in Spain and can’t sleep. Luckily I found your latest video and thought I would see what you’re doing. 🤣🤣
If this video can’t put you to sleep, nothing will
@@StaticCamperVanoh that’s funny. I’m enjoying your sense of humor. By the way I hate snakes too. 🤣🤣
I swear, Scott's favorite coffee shop is always the nearest locally owned shop around! I love it Scott! 😅
For the record, Olympia Coffee (any location) is number 1 and Mind’s Eye is number 2 on my favorite list.
I really enjoy these longer vlogs. They create a nice vibe and let one soak up the atmosphere. Thanks for taking us along and inspiring me to make taquitos.
I lived in Eureka for over 10 years. If you never lived in a small town, Ferndale is the place. Redwoods are beautiful. Air is fresh, I had asthma but living there made it go away. You can walk around the whole town, it’s that small. Enjoy
I absolutely love the Redwoods!
Hawaii #1 air quality, Northern New Mexico #2
You make food anyway you want to make it! I like the way you made your taquitos- no vegetables! And I like the weirdos unite stickers by your stove from van city life! 🤣🤣
That is a very old sticker. Disco was a good dog even though he didn’t really like me much 😂
I have to make a cup of coffee every time I watch your videos!☕️☕️☕️
☕️
Coffee is life.
Fab vlog Scott ~ I love the longer ones as it's an excuse to sit down and relax for longer! As someone from Scotland it's lovely to see a chilled look into somewhere unfamiliar to me. So many travel vlogs are frenetic and OTT 💚
Thank you
Lovely video Scott. A few months back I texted my old college buddy Bob, who now lives in El Cerrito, and I asked him if he had ever visited the lost coast?" He texted me back this: I found it.
Hahahaha
It’s 7:38 AM here in Kuala Lumpur, and I’m gonna make myself a cup of coffee with your CZcams vlog on as an ASMR 🙂
Have a great morning Jeffrey
@@StaticCamperVan - You too Scott 🤝
Didn’t know WalMart sold YellowBird good to know
It’s a bit hit or miss. Took half a dozen trips to different Walmarts in three different states for me to find some stocked.
So pretty the trail with the fog.
I think I am addicted to your videos. 😅
Nothing wrong with that
🤣🤣🤣😌
@ChippiSweet 😂
Great reel, what beautiful bay. Thanks for taking me along on the walk. I did read somewhere that snakes are attracted to coffee! x
I enjoy your videos because you're always Cool 😎, Calm, collective, mild mannered Clark Kent.
Thumbs up 👍
Nice road trip thank you for sharing it with us.
You really had a good day, 53 minute video 😂. And I watched the entire 53 minutes😂. Good to see anyone having a good day, simple or otherwise 👍👍 Life’s too short to only spend it worrying about crap we can’t change. Have fun⭐️⭐️
That wasn't boring at all. I found it to be quite relaxing. Nice sights and nice sounds.
I was happy to find the yellow bird sauces at the local Walmart after seeing it on your channel. good stuff!
Thanks Scott for a long video!! It’s because of you that I go exploring to different areas! Mine are just day trips as I live in sticks and bricks, and have a family. I take my dog with me and go explore walking trails that allow dogs. I also visit coffee shops in the local areas. We’ve had a lot of rain this summer here in NH. Sometimes rain for an entire week! I’ll probably continue exploring this winter, as long as the roads are dry!!
I agree. Day trips and overnights are the perfect solution for those of us tied to jobs and stick and bricks. So much yard work and home repair project maintenance etc. Just having a day or two now and then to explore different scenery heals the soul.
How refreshing to have a conspiracy over Yellow Bird bottle size ;
Owls & hummingbirds are two of my favorite birds.
I’m in the east coast right now since July 31, this is making me miss being home in California ! Thanks for sharing your recent adventure along the west coast!!!
I look forward to your videos! When you are not posting, I always wonder where you are and what you are doing.
As a Humboldt local do not worry about the Mattole road to Petrolia. You don’t need 4x4. It’s a paved county road that’s curvy and hilly but drivable in any dependable car. The Mattole Beach and River are worth the trip.
Thanks for that. I drove this van out to Petrolia and Black Sand Beach several years ago, I have a video of it. But my van isn’t running well anymore.
YOU ARE A. CONNOISSEUR. OF SPACE AND FOOD 🌞
Never heard of Lost Coast. Thanks for sharing the gorgeous sights and sound of the waves.😊
Scott this is so enjoyable seeing through your eyes and the way you give your listeners a feeling of being right where you are, experiencing the moments.
🙋♀️☕🌲
What a wonderful bird is the pelican / Its beak can hold more that its belly can
What a wonderful adventure. Absolutely beautiful. Thanks for taking us along. You are great company ❤
Yes we care and love you too. Your goodness2👬👬👬👬👭👭👭👬👭 love.
I got lunch in Eureka (Moe's Pizza), on the day after Labor day. I visited the Redwood forest on my way to visited Crator Lake.
Hey Dude. Good to know you’re still out traveling. Hope you’re doing well
I'm not bored I can't wait to be back and explore new places you have shown me. Have a great week.
Put a nonflammable "splint" on the lighter with tie wraps to straighten it out.
Thanks Scott for the adventure what a beautiful place your at i love your taquitos ferndale what a nice place.😊
The price of everything is skyrocketing getting crazy out here
I wish the Lost Coast wasn't so from the East Coast. But, it's an awesome place to visit, even vicariously. Thanks!
Ooh, Scott Ur so damn creative w/ your meals. Thnx for sharing your coastal experience video. 💘 it
Ooh a long one too
The beauty of that coastline is is not like anything I’ve ever seen. It is not totally static…with the waves it is ever changing. I love the constant sound off the water… the mighty pacific gives many gifts. Was in that area last month and the “Pelican parades” that went up and down the shoreline provided ongoing entertainment. I care.
REAL NICE VIDEO ! !
SUCH A HAPPY JOY TO
TUNE IN TO YOU ! !
❤ ❤
Love the longer videos! 🎉
Ahhh what a Lovely day! Thanks for reminding me of how simple van life can be 😺💜
The best days are simple. Maybe that should be the video title
I enjoyed the Taquito cooking segment, those were my favorite as a child too, i liked them them will Avocado sauce 😋 you really make some impressive meals for living in a Van 😊👍
You always have me chuckling at the things you say & the way you say it. 😅
❤I have to buy some Yellow Bird. Enjoy your day Scott❤
I was super excited to recently see Yellowbird in my local grocery (Kroger) in Ohio! The seranno is still less expensive on Amazon but I took the opportunity to try the sriracha this time. I enjoyed it. Thankfully the bottle size is 9.8 oz. I also recently visited San Diego and had my first In-N-Out burger and fries. Loved it too. So pretty much any food mentioned on your channel goes on my wish list! Haha 😊
If I go to Homeland I can buy the Yellowbird sauce the big one 19.6 ounce for $10.49.
Ah, In-N-Out. We used to go to the original location in Los Angeles when I a kid.
What a beautiful place
Fun visit...👍👍
I bought 3 in Texas one of them is habaneros n not bad. Larabars are great tasting and a cup of café fir the walkn, I do.
So wonderful travelog with the oceans are breathtaking.
Hmm, never thought of using toothpicks to make taquitos (good idea) a nice cup of coffee sounds good.
Hi Scott great video lovely scenery looks like your a good cook as well take care ❤ xx
oh man. Another long vlog?? god is good. I am absolutely loving these.
Wow as you were saying the word Jurassic Scott I said it at exactly the same time..spooky lol 😂 excellent town and stunning beach 🏖️ absolutely love your Chanel Scott very relaxing to watch 😊
I'm going to try the Yellow Bird. Sounds really good. I really like the way you do your videos.
Gotta give you props, So-Cal native now living on the other side of the world and was able to finally order some Yellow Bird ,serrano and habanero, going through them like water bro 😂 Very nice on everything.
Sorry to get you hooked on Yellowbird
What a beautiful place on the coast.. Too bad ⛽ costs so much there. $4.77 here in Tx for ethanol free & it gets better ⛽ mileage than the 🌽 gas. Had the beach all to yourself along with the birds. You make cooking look so easy. Taquitos are the best. I like em with avocado & sour cream & cheese. Yummy.
enjoyed that Scott.. thx.. TC from Ontario Canada.. 👍🙏
Thanks Kenny
Absolutely beautiful scenery, thanks for taking us along! I too love pelicans, I think it’s neat how they fly across the water. I hear you with the price of gas, it hurts. Stay safe on your travels.
That peaceful sound of the wild ocean in your video is wonderful.
I happend to be looking at permits to hike and camp in the LC. Boy is it difficult.
Yes, it is. Best of luck. If nothing else, you can probably snag a first come, first served campsite. Especially now that summer is over.
Our Costco has huge yellow bird bottles😂
👍🏼
I think your taquitos look delicious and your ingredients are perfect!
Louisiana here. Always wanted to visit California. I'm retired.. Maybe if i had somone wanting to go with me and take our time...looks beautiful.
It can be. I grew up there. If you every do go, you can theoretically go to the beach and the mountains in the same day. I say that because it depends on traffic.
Yummy 😋 those Tacosittoes looks Delicious!👍❤️😋
When the title was "Get lost" I knew you were going to the lost coast! So yes, I knew about the lost coast! And it's amusing that your standard is Taqitos (sp?) For most of my life my standard for Chinese food has always been fried rice. It's such a simple dish that most places get sloppy and it's not really worth it. A place that makes great fried rice, makes everything else really well too!
I figured you would know what I meant!
Oh yeah you are definitely hooked on Humboldt.. It happens fast. Have been here over 20 years. Living on wheels in Trinidad.🐢🌞🌊🌺🌻🐢
I live in Eureka and Trinidad is one of my favourite places!
Hey Scott...great video.
*I also finally found Yellowbird at Walmart in only smaller bottles. I live in nowhereville so at least I can buy it.
* Taquitos were also my favorite meal as a kid and still love them!
*I'm from CA and never heard of the Lost Coast. It's really beautiful.
* I have those exact lighters and I just love them. They hold a charge forever and no more disposables that always break.
I'm familiar with Nowhereville; I live in Wisconsin.
I’ve never heard of The Lost Coast. Glad you shared it with us.
I always enjoy watching your videos.. :)
Thanks Linda
The taken is tried and true. The not taken is up to you. Hey Scott😊
👍🏼
Hello Scott, I enjoy having your videos as my traveling companion when I commute to and from work. I live camping on my vehicle comfortably with a fan and power station. I just received my 12 volt refrigerator freezer. I got a smaller one than yours. Mine is 37 quarts which is enough for wjat I need. I like the lift out basket and so far it's easy to use. The compressor is quiet. I have 300 watts of portable solar panels. Enough for me for now. I was surprised that you generally only drive 5 or 10 miles a day for fuel conservation. But you seem to know lots of places to park overnight. Gas is 3.50 where I live. I try to plan day trips and overnight. Lots of places to visit that are rural and interesting attractions. I have personal protection ( firearm). Do you as well?
Some day I want to get lost when I get rid of this ball and chain from work! I had a vacation trip planned out to visit Northern California years ago and got layed off about that time and was unable to go, but I hope I can make it to the lost coast Some day soon. Thanks Scott for sharing your get lost video I really enjoyed it. Take care out there my friend!

Scott you get that Jurassic park feeling too, haha, same here every time while driving through the forest on truck trails , total Jurassic park vibes, almost surreal , love it. Thanks for getting us to the beach.
Thanks for taking us along, Scott.
Luving the longer vogs 😌, dont tink i luv anytin in my life ,as much as u luv ur coffee chap 😅, always a gud day wen u post brethren, god bless 🙌

Thank you for the once again great video
Thanks Barbara
Fun being first to view this video :)
FIRST!!

I always enjoy watching your videos. Thank you for sharing❤
Thank you 🙏🏼
almost as good as Mr Rogers changing out his jacket for the button up sweater and fastening the laces on his tennies. I want coffee, no, I need a cup of coffee. Ive started using the Yellow Bird as well. Pretty much great on everything! I was headed to Trinidad and Eureka right after attending the Descend on Bend event, but I had soooo much things on and in my van that I couldn't deal with it any longer. I made my way back to Texas. Lightened the load and am saving almost $3 per gallon but, Its hotter than H. E. Double hockey sticks over here. Im headed to the coast in a couple weeks. cali/arizona my friend. I really hope to meet you sometime. Going on 4 years in my minivan, Wilhelmina. Gearing up to reach monetization on the CZcams. Consistency, thanks for always inspiring in such a chill way, Scott.
Hey Thanks Vinnie. All the best to you.
If you are up for hearing good music, my friend Eric Naslund is in a band called Nighthawk and they regularly play at Blue Lake Casino.
You have a wonderful talent of narrating the mundane. 🙂
I'm originally from El Paso , Tx. Have you ever heard of the famous " Chicos Tacos' there ? A unique take on the Taquito ! I to am a big fan of Taquitos !! Thanks for the video !!
No, I haven’t heard of those
Looks like heaven. Love the views, the water, the birds... just about everything!
Ooo! I love the lost coast!
I highly recommend a device that looks like a writing pen, but it has a small magnet on the end to keep handy in your van. You simply wave it over the floor and the magnet will find that little screw for you.
It comes in handy when you're doing repairs and drop other screws or even when you're doing repair sewing to help you find a dropped needle.
I can't remember where I bought mine from but it sure comes in handy. It's no bigger than a writing pen 🖋
Also, I want you to know that I appreciate you sharing your life with us. ❤
The Pelicans in Morro Bay will allow us to get real close. Pelicans are fabulous.
#1. I keep looking for an old ghost pirate ship to come around the corner in your videos, lol.
2. You know you might have to watch this to make your grocery list?
3. Always enjoy watching you and your "old dogs" 😊
Spotting a ghost ship would be fun!
Cheddar cheese. Common trigger for migraine. Better mozzarella
Thanks for sharing your beautiful pleasant scenic day with us, loved today's vlog! So relaxing and comforting, I really needed this today🌞☕️
You’re welcome. Thanks for watching
Beautiful, thanks for sharing! I saw your article in The Sun, great job!
I didn’t know anything about that article being published
@@StaticCamperVan Is that legal of them to do?
@emartin851 it would appear so
@@StaticCamperVan Wow...
Yes, Ferndale is cute! Kinda like it's wrapped up in it's own little bow. Passed through there after a two night stay in Eureka once. I remember the fog does drift in when it feels like it, yet is kind enough to disperse for some of that robin egg blue sky too. A day in Ferndale is magic. I think the universe is conspiring to let you get lost in it's quaintness, and it's surrounding pastoral scenery. Notice no messages when you checked. Enjoy your stay in Humboldt County, as you always do.
Good for you on the gas. When I m urban, I go no more than 10 miles per day n walk as much as possible.❤
No food, no pelican friends!
Watching you eat burritos, me & my friend eats lots of em now. She eats with veg, & mine with everything. Enjoy!
❤ Good Evening Scott! Lost is a Beautiful place,like your on a island 🏝️,Calm , and quite 👍✌️🤞👌✨🙌🙏🇺🇸✝️🌅🌄🌻
Got randomly recommended this video and... I really like this guy. Immediately subscribed!
Always enjoy your videos ,you really know are to enjoy life, You have a wonderful day !
You too, Terry
