The Adventure Continues… California Missions, Week 7

4 days ago Leave a Comment

Huell winds up his tour of the 21 missions this week by visiting San Francisco de Asis, San Rafael Arcangel, and San Francisco Solano — all in the San Francisco Bay area. You may recall the Mission San Francisco de Asis from an episode I featured in October 2018; during that visit Huell learned that this mission contains one of […]

The Adventure Continues… California Missions, Week 6

2 weeks ago Leave a Comment

Each of the 21 missions has its own story of creation, neglect and perhaps destruction, and finally rescue and reconstruction in some form. This week’s three missions have gone through some very dramatic changes; both Mission Santa Cruz and Mission San Jose were replaced by more modern buildings back in the 1800s. In fact, San Jose’s mission building wasn’t reconstructed […]

The Adventure Continues… California’s Missions, Week 1

2 months ago Leave a Comment

Last Friday I began my series on the California Missions with a few images of Mission Santa Barbara photographed by my mom in 1979. As part of this series, I’ll be featuring Huell Howser’s visits to the 21 missions. Unfortunately, since each episode is only 30 minutes long, there wasn’t enough time to present an in-depth look at each site […]

The Adventure Continues… Sidecars

2 months ago Leave a Comment

Some of my favorite episodes of California’s Gold feature Huell hanging out with groups of people celebrating their hobbies — whether it’s railcars, monarch butterflies, or ships in a bottle. This week Huell has a great time learning about all the variations of motorcycle sidecars and meeting the people — and animals — who love riding in them. A visit […]

The Adventure Continues… Manzanar

2 months ago Leave a Comment

This is not the first time I’ve featured an episode of California’s Gold related to Manzanar, but I can’t help feeling that this piece of California history remains timely and important, with some serious lessons for all of us. I’m currently reading the memoir Farewell to Manzanar by Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston and James D. Houston (for the first time, in […]

The Adventure Continues… Missing San Francisco

2 months ago Leave a Comment

Back in January I showed you some vintage family photos from San Diego that included the steam ferryboat Berkeley. I recalled seeing this boat in an episode of California’s Gold, and I was surprised to realize I had never featured it on my blog. So this week, I’m correcting that oversight! You may notice the mention of another San Francisco […]
