I keep going back to San Francisco on single-day trips, trying to capture some good images of Fort Point. My first trip was on a weekend during Fleet Week, and I came home with 82 shots on my memory card — which I somehow managed to lose in the ether while transferring them from camera to laptop. For my next […]
I was truly amazed when I came across this episode of California’s Golden Parks because I’ve seen the Peace Statue many times from afar and had no idea of its significance.

In this episode of California’s Golden Parks, Huell learns about the California Coastal Monument. In […]
I happened to catch this one-hour episode of “Road Trip” the other day and thought it would be fun to check out Huell’s visits to the five corners of California. It seems like he managed to accidentally annoy at least a couple of people by suggesting the state line between Oregon and California wasn’t where they thought it was! And […]
