    Get em' Bat Kitty !!! Eric, you are the prince of parking !!! I spent 8 days in San Fran walking all over.... rained the whole time !! Thanks for the hard work and the ride along, Love You Guys !!!
  • Hello Eric, I just found your site a few weeks ago and I have enjoyed your travels. I will continue to watch. Lots of information and your parking ' impressive ' . Jax looks to be a great friend.
  • The rawness of you looking for overnight or boondocking in areas makes the videos a little more exciting to me.I hope you can continue to do more of this.

    ERIC, don't forget to visit my home town of SANTA CRUZ! Check out W. Cliff Dr. from natural Bridges Beach to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, then cruise down E. Cliff Dr on over to Capatola. There have been several movies filmed in Santa Cruz including lost boys, parts of sudden impact, return to witch Mountain, and a few more probably forgot about. Alford Hitchcock had a house in Scotts Valley at one time and the Smothers Brothers live there as well. Many famous people either have or have had homes in Santa Cruz County . The wharf near the boardwalk was built by my wife's family including the Canepa's , castinolla's , Italians from the old land and fisherman by trade. My wife's father Atillio Canepa was a very well-known fisherman off the coast of Santa Cruz. He was also a Santa Cruz police officer back in the day. Oh, and Jack O'Neill of O'Neill surf shops and apparel had a house on E. Cliff Dr. There's lots of history in Santa Cruz County . Waymore than I can mention here. I don't live there anymore, but I was born and raised there. Live in Redmond Oregon now. If you haven't already passed it by take a poke around for a day or so. Be sure and visit the wharf. Great fresh seafood and stores!!!!!!!!!

    I bet it's very nerve wracking to drive in San Fran in the RV. The streets are narrow and steep. Thanks for showing me around the park. Very cool!

    San Francisco is so pretty. I haven't been there since "79" so bet it's really crazy driving in town now. The view of Golden Gate Bridge was pretty. Be safe.

    Nice video Eric. Loved the Drone video shots near the Golden Gate Bridge. Drive safely and stop at an "In n Out Burger" and take a break!
  • be careful in California & definitely lock it up tight for Jax's safety as well. Cory the Moody Traveler had his RV stolen while in Venice Beach.
  • @helmitpeak
    Before you you cross the bridge your in Marine county which isn't part of SF. Congrats on finding a parking spot for the nite. SF is my home town, I do miss it but to damn expensive to live there now. Oh and Daily City is pronounced day-lee. Enjoy your videos.
