Ferndale California is one of Northern California's best kept secrets, and I wonder if Vegas Bob is letting Cali's secret out with all my posts & photos?
Ferndale is a area south of Eureka/ Fortuna and the only way to get there is to cross the Ferndale Bridge that was built in 1910. Many travelers miss Ferndale because it is out of the way off of Hwy 101.
The movies stars know about Ferndale because "The Majestic" with Jim Carey was filmed there many moons ago, which created a BUZZ years ago and some stars purchased homes & acreage there.
When you drive to Ferndale you will pass many old farms with HUGE acreage filled with cows, horses, sheep and more. Then when you get to the very small town of Ferndale it's like going back in time with all the very old buildings and homes that have been painted and fixed up like the hotel (above).
Vegas Bob's trip to Northern California is coming to an end in the next few days. I will be headed out very early morning down to Sacramento & then over to Reno where I will be spending the night. I may just roll into Lake Tahoe Saturday morning before I head home to Las Vegas.
If you have been busy and haven't been able to follow VB's trip, most of my posts with photos are (below). I have so many videos and photos that I will be posting to the networks over the next several weeks ... so "Stay Tuned" ...

Vegas Bob spent several hours on the Pacific Coast around Ferndale California just south of Eureka in Northern California.
Most of the beach was flat with no structure so VB was becoming bored because photography of beaches with no structure is boring. So VB saw a huge cliff with a White Cross at the top of it, well VB went out of his way to climb the top. Once VB got to the top he noticed that the White Cross which stood about 15 feet tall had been dedicated to some Pioneers that Lost their Lives at Sea ... here is the sign (below) that was on the cross.
Vegas Bob sat up by the cross and then even laid down, closed his eyes and took a little nap.

"The Lost Coast" in Northern California
"The Lost Coast" is a very beautiful untouched 80 mile stretch of coast line south of "Ferndale California" only minutes from Eureka California.
This beautiful photo above was taken around July of 2010 this year, and I have had the privlage to drive don't "The Lost Coast" several times in my life.
If you ever get the chance to visit "The Lost Coast" in northern California it will be a memory in your mind that will be remembered forever. "The Lost Coast" is a very impressive area that I would suggest everyone viewing for themselves.
