I’m not familiar with any of the sights Huell visits in this hour-long episode of Road Trip, but I’ve definitely heard of the Avenue of the Giants in Humboldt Redwoods State Park. Since I recently featured this part of Northern California in my Memory Monday posts, I thought it would be nice to see them from Huell Howser’s perspective. All […]
I noticed that the scheduled theme for Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge tomorrow is Tree Art, so it seemed a perfect time to share this episode of California’s Gold from 2004. In fact, this is one of those episodes I believed I’d already featured, because it’s so full of fun and amazing examples of tree art. Although the adventure […]
Joaquin Miller is a name that seemed only vaguely familiar to me until recently; in fact, he was — as Stephanie Benavidez tells Huell — California’s best kept secret. While Miller earned a reputation as something of a scoundrel and a frequent embellisher of the truth, he was also a gifted poet and one of our country’s first environmentalists. For […]

This is one of those episodes that I was absolutely sure I had already shared; and I was reminded of it when I caught a glimpse of the tower in the first few minutes of the Road Trip episode I shared last week. I love checking out towers, although I’ve never visited this one. It’s yet another nearly forgotten roadside […]
If this week’s Memory Monday post happened to inspire you for a trip north along California’s Highway 101 to the redwoods of Mendocino County, you might want to watch for Confusion Hill, located about halfway between Leggett and Piercy. Some parts of this classic roadside attraction are fairly hokey, but it’s also full of unique and beautiful sights, along with […]
Early last October I made a day trip to San Francisco, via Amtrak train and Muni buses, to explore Fort Point and to seek out the western terminus of the Lincoln Highway. I wound up walking 10 miles that day, and I came home with 82 pictures on my camera’s memory card. All was well — until I lost every […]
