I didn't know much about Petrolia until today. We fished the Mattole River pretty hard back in the day when we could keep 3 steelhead a day. I caught 3 one day and the smallest was 17 pounds. Back in the late 1980's. Thank you for all the history. Steve Cooksey
Thank you so much Steve... :) I'm not a historian but I'm interested by it all. If I had to do my education all over again I'd get my PhD in History rather than Psychology... :) I try to be as accurate as I can but I make mistakes... thanks for watching... :) Dock
I appreciate the feedback. I'm doing my best to honor the history of our Homeboldt... :) I try to be as accurate as I can... thank you so much for watching... Dock
Dang it, I was hoping they were still there but I didn't see them the last few times I went out. Good to hear they are still there.. thank you for watching... :) Dock
I do believe that it is ok/legal to walk to the Pioneer Cemetery if you go through the gate just west of the store. I have a few relatives resting there, my mothers grandmother at least.
The entrance did say it was okay but that it passed over private property. I didn't really want to video walking out to be respectful to the property owner. Thank you for watching... :) Dock
I'm much better at making axes but I'm learning more every time I try to do one. My editing skills could use some help but I'll keep tryin... thank you for watching... Dock

Another awesome vlog! Love how you include the history of the area with old photos etc. and that you honor the indigenous people that were here first.

My dad loved to fish the Mattole.. I was young girl back then. We would camp on gravel bars.
It's beautiful out there, one of our favorite spots. So much history too... thank you for watching... :) Dock
We did the drive in October and got lucky. The Petrolia zebras are still around, having more babies.

The Eucalyptus trees beside the Petrolia Table Cemetery are among the largest in the nation.
Oops, took a minute to research it, “World’s largest Bluegum Eucalyptus”
