The Adventure Continues… Lunar Landing

July 24, 2019 Leave a Comment

You may have noticed that last week was the 50th anniversary of the moon landing; in fact, I loved the video Doodle that Google created in honor of the occasion so much that I just have to share it here: With all this in mind, this week I chose an episode of California’s Gold from 2010 in which Huell gets […]

The Adventure Continues… Yosemite Railroad

July 17, 2019 Leave a Comment

Two of my favorite subjects, Yosemite and trains, feature in today’s episode of California’s Gold. Huell absolutely loved riding on old trains, and the scenery is of course spectacular. I found it especially interesting that at the time this episode was filmed, the forest the train travels through was no more than 70 years old — having been entirely clear […]

The Adventure Continues… Bicycles

July 10, 2019 Leave a Comment

Well, the 2019 Tour de France is now underway (and will continue until July 28), so at the moment my mind is a bit preoccupied with bicycles. The very first Tour de France was held in 1903, when cycling was still a fairly young but increasingly popular sport. In this episode of California’s Gold, Huell learns quite a lot about […]

The Adventure Continues… Lighthouse

July 3, 2019 Leave a Comment

I love old lighthouses, and in this episode of California’s Gold Huell takes a trip to a very special historic lighthouse, the St George Reef Lighthouse. The site is nearly inaccessible and is definitely not a tourist destination — so it’s a real privilege to experience the sights and sounds, not to mention the view, of this incredible 19th Century […]

The Adventure Continues… California Pools

June 26, 2019 Leave a Comment

Summer has officially arrived this year, and the weather is warming up — so naturally my thoughts have turned to swimming pools! This episode of California’s Gold includes a visit to the Neptune Pool (Huell revisited this pool in a later episode and was lucky enough to go for a swim) as well as the site of Sutro Baths in […]

The Adventure Continues… Neat Houses

June 19, 2019 Leave a Comment

I can hardly believe I haven’t already shared this episode of California’s Gold, since it’s one of my favorites! Even when I was much younger, the Governor’s Mansion State Historic Park in downtown Sacramento was always on my list of must-see places; so I had some very mixed feelings when it closed to the public in January 2015, so that […]

The Adventure Continues… Barn Photographer

June 12, 2019 Leave a Comment

Since last week I shared the Forest Photographer episode, I thought I may as well follow up this week with a Barn Photographer, again from the Visiting series.  From watching TV with the Big Guy, I’ve learned about “barn finds” — rare, vintage cars buried under years of dust and often forgotten, just waiting to be re-discovered and brought back […]

The Adventure Continues… Forest Photographer

June 5, 2019 1 Comment

This week, I’m taking a look at another one of Huell’s TV series, Visiting. Most of these episodes are 30-minute segments focusing on interesting people, places, and businesses in Southern California. I’ve never seen any of these episodes, so I’m looking forward to discovering them right along with you! I was especially drawn to this 1997 episode featuring Roy Murphy, […]

The Adventure Continues… Our State’s Front Yard

May 29, 2019 Leave a Comment

I live a relatively short 30 miles from Capitol Park in Sacramento, but I have to admit I’ve never properly explored all it has to offer. I did spend a few hours exploring this beautiful park back in September 2017, but I still managed to see merely a small part of it — and that was made very clear to […]
