This is another one of those episodes of California’s Gold that I could have sworn I’ve already featured. Mono Lake is certainly a fascinating, beautiful, and unique feature, one that I can’t say I’ve ever visited, but it’s definitely been in the news at various points throughout my lifetime, given the delicate nature of its ecosystem and the importance of […]
This week, a few more outdoor scenes from the Korea albums. Like the photos I shared a couple of weeks ago, these may have been shot somewhere in Monterey County, although they have no captions written on the back.

I’ve been lucky enough to visit the Point Loma lighthouse in San Diego and, more recently, the Point Arena lighthouse in Mendocino County. The Point Sur Lightstation, a few miles south of Monterey and Carmel, is definitely […]

She did consulting work for companies like Southern California Edison, and my task was to type up the oral history interviews she […]
This week, Huell visits three beautiful and diverse missions, all very special places with flavors of historic California. Coming up on Friday, I’ll have a few slides of these three missions which were shot by my mom in the early 1980s. Huell visits these Missions in this episode: Soledad San Carlos Borromeo de Carmelo San Juan Bautista (Click on the […]
This episode of California’s Gold from 2003 features two very special old barns. The Octagon Barn in San Luis Obispo has been given a brand new life; while the restoration efforts were well underway at the time of Huell’s visit, the work continued on the barn and surrounding buildings for the next 16 years and finally opened to the public […]
