The Adventure Continues… Chiriaco Summit

May 13, 2020 Leave a Comment

If you’ve ever traveled through a desert, especially in the summertime, you know what a relief it can be to find a nice cool spot to get out of the car and stretch your legs, to get something cold to drink, or even just to cast your eyes on something besides a wide, flat expanse! In this 2008 episode of […]

The Adventure Continues… Mt. Rubidoux

April 24, 2019 2 Comments

Here is an hour-long episode from Huell’s series Visiting that I had intended to share during the week before Easter; rather than waiting for next Easter to roll around, I’ve opted to feature it a few days late! Looming 1339 feet above Riverside is Mt. Rubidoux. The very first Easter Sunrise service was held at the top of Mt Rubidoux […]

The Adventure Continues… Tuba Christmas

December 26, 2018 Leave a Comment

Here’s another great seasonal episode that I’ve only recently discovered. The Merry TubaChristmas concert is an ongoing tradition; it’s been an annual event since 1975, and this year it was held on December 2. And as Huell remarks early in the episode, if this doesn’t get you into the Christmas spirit, nothing will! Huell attends the annual holiday concert at […]

The Adventure Continues… Nacimientos

December 19, 2018 Leave a Comment

I like to share Christmas-themed episodes during this time of year, and this is one that nearly escaped my attention, as I had no idea what “Nacimientos” meant until I took a closer look. I think this is a wonderful tradition, and I hope you’ll enjoy Huell’s visit, originally aired in 1999,  as much as I did. In this holiday […]

The Adventure Continues… Poinsettias

December 12, 2018 Leave a Comment

I’ve never featured this 2004 episode of California’s Gold in which Huell visits the Eckes’ poinsetta ranch in Encenitas, but I did link to it a couple of years ago. After spotting some blue and orange poinsettia plants for sale in the supermarket this morning, I thought it would be good to take another look at where and how these […]

The Adventure Continues… Holiday Star

December 28, 2016 Leave a Comment

Upland was hard hit by the 2003 wildfires and there is much rebuilding still to come. For the holiday season, this tight-knit community joined together to recreate a brilliantly lit star on a hilltop which shined for many years, but was destroyed by the fires. It is again a sign of hope and renewal for everyone who sees it. Many […]

The Adventure Continues… Cornish Christmas

December 21, 2016 Leave a Comment

First of all, I’d like to wish all my readers a very happy winter holiday season, whether it be Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Mawlid, or Christmas! In this holiday special, Huell celebrates the holidays with the descendants of the original Cornish Carol Choir of Grass Valley. Join them as they reenact their 1940 concert of traditional Cornish Christmas Carols, which took place 2,000 […]
