Good video but I would like to share a little insight. The Redwood Highway passing the area of the Big Tree was not bypassed as a result of the 1964 flood and the loss of the bridge. It was still in use until it was bypassed around 1990 as an effort to cut down on the excessive traffic through Redwood National Park during the tourist seasons.

As much as you guys are answering questions, engaging to say the least. I love that it sounds like you are thinking out loud and there are questions not answered. The video ends but my thoughts continue. Gracias. Boingboing

Well done and interesting. I have been there twice and never knew all these details.

A little naughty if they don't tell you it's all relatively modern when you visit. They would be pretty open about that kind of thing over here. Fascinating video again anyway.

Surprising how it has been used. Thanks for the video

I love this series. Such a cool idea, and I like your presentation style.

Hey Dave, Have you thought about visiting the Azores islands? They are islands formed from very active volcanoes off the coast of Portugal.

Great video.

Great info, thanks.

Great stuff. Possibly the most difficult episode in terms of matching photos from a relatively short time period after the last major eruption, to the present. The present pic with the forest regrown shows how the landscape can change in a short geological timeframe. Some of your pics have strong similarity to the landscape you can see in Yellowstone National Park my favorite place in the world. But in Yellowstone the last major eruption was so very long ago, that the relative change in the general landscape has not varied nearly as much from early views to the present day. Do not get me wrong, there are in fact many changes from year to year in Yellowstone, but we don't have drawings and photos from before eruption to compare to post eruption, and ever ongoing change. You did yeoman work on this episode. Thanks to your careful and accurate research and marvelous commentary, you have created a great learning opportunity, even for an older guy like me.

So... Did lassen blow his top much? ;)

Perfect presentation. You couldn't do better if you tried to. I like your shares because I always learn lots of things, and you neither waste words or annoy as a distraction. You always gain my honest attention. Not all creators can do that. You give without trying to take. "Maine" says "hello" again.

Great video. You do a good job of combining the pictures with history and telling a story. Thanks.

Thank you for confirming what I have always instinctively known. I have always spelled Albuquerque with two R's but of course that's not politically correct. Now I know I've been right all along.

Informative and educational once again, thanks Dave.

An excellent vid. Great combination of photos, facts, people, and technical info, narrated well. Thanks!

Typical Bigot Chicken. 🙄

I've been to that Chik fil A a million times and never knew about that green bench. Surprised you didn't have anything about The Vinoy Hotel, very old and beautiful.

This is amazing. Such a cool find. I've been through that area of Oregon a few times and never knew that was there. Hopefully they can get it preserved and protected. Did these type of attractions often pay the company to have View Master reels made as a sort of advertising?

I get to stay there in a motell for a couple of days with my MOM if im good.

Im coming there in july if im good.

I am a Lobo. You may wish to check, but as I recall, the first building on the UMM campus, Hodgin Hall, is pronounced HOD-gin, as in "cotton gin.". This is an interesting way to present an historical record. I no longer have my Viewmaster.

Hodgin Hall's "g" is pronounced with a j sound.

I was born in Alb, and lived here all my life. I've been all over the State and to Santa Fe, many, many, times, and yet somehow I had never heard the 'whole' story of how Route 66 was re-routed to skip Santa Fe. So interesting. Still there's not enough time in 18 mins and 49 seconds to tell all the stories...there is SO MUCH more that this. Thank you for a brief history lesson; well done.

Very enjoyable, once again. Lots of feel good buzzes, just from seeing the first few before and after shots, and seeing just how much is still there, even if later ones show the decay of recent times. The easy to follow geology lesson was a bonus! As ever you go above and beyond a simple "before and after" comparison. Wonderful viewing.

Am a rockaholic 😂all my life ❤❤❤

A marvelous excursion with VM. While there is deterioration, overall the rock structures still show much of their beauty in your pics. To think that you had the place to yourself, for your visit. I feel it is a privilege to be a viewer of your wonderful work.

Thank you for sharing this. I guess I'm not the only human who likes rocks. Peterson's Rock Gardens needs to be preserved. It's not only a valuable heritage site, but is also an honest example of one man's labor of love. "Maine" says "Hello" Edit: I forgot to mention that I was camping with two friends atop one of the 3 Sisters in 1980 when Mt. St. Helen first blew. The sound we heard sounded like the whole earth was groaning because it was dying. It didn't sound like it was traveling through the air, but through the whole grounds as well. Maybe one mountain conversing with another one for all I honestly know, but that's what it was like when we were camping there. I've never heard a sound so moanful as that one was.

the man had a hobby!

Sad to see some of these attractions fall into disrepair. Congratulations on 1K subscribers Thanks for the video

This is SO well done! Thank you. We are moving there in a few months and you’ve prepared us well.

Matheson Hammock park was also where scenes from There’s Something About Mary and Paul Newman in Absence of Malice were filmed. My grandparents home was just a few blocks away, and when I was a child we went to this park often.

Bugs Bunny: I musta took a wrong turn at Albuquerque.

The glass bottom boat you showed was an old paddle wheel boat named Phoenix. It was sold to someone on the mainland a decade or so ago and sunk off the coat of California.

Very cool video man keep up the great work!! Im from Albuquerque and love NM history and American history. Where did you find the 1889 map? That was so cool also, the vintage tourist maps as well??

Fuck Santa Fe lol 😆

This is a great video, really well made, and a great introduction to the park's history for anyone that's interested. I'm really impressed that you took this idea of looking at old view master images and incorporated it into an in-depth, well researched history lesson for not only the park but also the people and settings that are relevant to the slides, with an in-person view of them in the present. If your other videos are even close to being this well thought out, and well edited, you've definitely gained a subscriber!

Nice video.. Having my daughter attend UNM, I done some exploring in ABQ during her time there. Thanks for sharing some interesting and new to me facts.

This is so friggin cool!!

Great stuff. Always looking forward to the next episode. Good work with the Seminole historical info. For ViewMaster enthusiasts reel #174 Seminole Indians and the Everglades, Florida has some nice views.

Your videos are really well researched and well produced. I appreciate the great effort that must go into them. I came for the ViewMaster aspect, but I stayed for the history. Cheers!

I got married at Matheson Hammock Beach! Very cool

Fascinating watch once again (I just end up repeating myself I know). I wonder how many people know about the history, and care. We all should learn from the past, so kudos for going into the history, and so much detail.

You do a great job on researching for your videos. I see that your channel is growing, hope that you get to 1K subscribers soon. Thanks for the video

Great video! New subscriber here, learned about your channel from two other travel creators - Steve from Sidetrack Adventures, and John from Travel With a Wiseguy. Has anyone told you you sound a little like John Malkovich?

Interesting video concept. I remember looking at Viewmaster pictures as a kid, always made places look so nice. Found your channel by way of "Travel With a Wise Guy", who happened to interview Steve from "Side Tracked Adventures". Steve mentioned your channel as one of his favorites, so thought I would check it out. Thanks!

Saco Rienk DeBoer is my great great grandfather. awesome documentary, hope it hits the algorithm

I grew up here, so it was so interesting to piece together what I had learned just being here into a broader context that dates back to the Spanish colonies. Thanks for sharing! One nitpick: Locals will throw hands if they hear you call it the Balloon "Festival." The proper term is Fiesta.

Excellent research, and i lke your presentation style. Very personal. Cheers from Canada.

Thanks for the nice video and for mentioning me. Welcome again.
