The Adventure Continues… Alaska: Father Hubbard

2 days ago Leave a Comment

This week, Huell shares a couple of short films — one from the 1930s and the other from the late 1950s — highlighting the beauty and diversity of Alaska. Huell learns about the legacy of Alaska’s “Glacier Priest” and his connection to California. (Click on the linked image below to see the video.)

The Adventure Continues… Alaska: Gustavus

1 week ago Leave a Comment

Before watching this episode, I had never heard of Gustavus, Alaska. But just from the brief glimpse that Huell offers here, I can say it looks like a really great place to live, full of natural beauty and friendly people. The population numbers less than 500 residents, and I’m sure the locals prefer it that way! Huell visits the charming […]

The Adventure Continues… Alaska: White Pass Railway

2 weeks ago Leave a Comment

Not too long ago, I enjoyed a historic and very scenic train ride from Skagway, Alaska, over the White Pass to Carcross, Yukon, where the amazing views are neverending. I experienced this journey’s beautiful sights from the comfort of my own home thanks to a film on Amazon Prime. But if you don’t subscribe to Amazon Prime, don’t worry — […]

The Adventure Continues… Alaska: Dog Sled

3 weeks ago Leave a Comment

A third time the attempt was made, but this time, following the advice, Hal broke out the runners which had been frozen to the snow. The overloaded and unwieldy sled forged ahead, Buck and his mates struggling frantically under the rain of blows. A hundred yards ahead the path turned and sloped steeply into the main street. It would have […]

The Adventure Continues… Alaska: Dyea

1 month ago Leave a Comment

I recently reread Jack London’s novel The Call of the Wild for the first time in years, so the names of places like Skagway, Dyea, and Dawson are wonderfully fresh in my mind as I watch Huell’s Alaska adventure and enjoy the gorgeous scenery. The town of Dyea is now only a memory — not even a ghost town — […]

The Adventure Continues… Alaska: Skagway

1 month ago Leave a Comment

I’ve been featuring episodes from Huell Howser’s various shows for awhile now, and I always enjoy seeing him visit parts of California that may or may not be familiar to me. But Huell explored more than just California, so I thought it would be fun to check out his short Alaska series. Most of the episodes are 30 minutes long, […]

The Adventure Continues… Farallon Islands

1 month ago Leave a Comment

This hour-long episode of California’s Gold starts with Huell having quite the adventure just getting to the island. But once he finally arrives, he finds that humans are greatly outnumbered by the sea birds and marine mammals like Elephant Seals, California Sea Lions, and Gray Whales. I admit to feeling just a bit sad that shore access to the islands […]

The Adventure Continues… Bike Race

2 months ago Leave a Comment

One of the most exciting parts of watching the Tour de France is the mountain climbing; it takes some special skills and the right sort of gear setup to stay in contention while suffering over the peaks of the Alps and the Pyrenees. And while I’ve seen some ferociously steep mountains feature in a few different professional bike races, I’ve […]

The Adventure Continues… American River Parkway

2 months ago Leave a Comment

It’s been many years since I spent time on the Sacramento end of the American River Parkway, but several times back in the 1970s I did ride what was at the time the entire length of the bike trail, 23 miles from Discovery Park to the Nimbus Fish Hatchery. These days the parkway and bike trail extend for 32 miles, […]
