The Adventure Continues… California Schools
Hi there — this is the second week of my Wednesday series featuring episodes of Huell Howser’s show, California’s Gold.

I thought it might be fun to try and share the experience, or at least some of it. I don’t have a GoPro camera, just my phone. And trust me, I was hanging onto it for dear life! I hope you enjoy the video.
