I always enjoyed Huell Howser after discovering him on PBS. He greeted everyone with his wonderful smile and genuine interest. It didn't matter whether it was the property owner or a tourist he was friendly and welcomed all seekers into his video. Living in the SF Bay area it was fun seeing him visit southern & central Calif which I had never visited. In 2015 I toured his home in 29 Palms on the Desert Landscape Tour. The house was purchased by an artist and she opened it up for weddings and rentals. This was his rural home surrounded by a rusted wall for privacy. It is now an Airbnb. They describe it as: "a rare example of mid-century modern architecture deep in the California desert, the 2,221 square-foot ranch sits on 12 acres of untouched desert near both entrances of Joshua Tree National Park, offering a feeling of total seclusion less than an hour from Palm Springs with 360-degree mountain and desert views." Huell also purchased 80 acres surrounding his home when he was alive to keep his privacy. The sunsets out that way are awesome! The locals loved Huell! Have a great time in San Francisco Steve, and I hope your new phone camera captures all the fun!

I was a huge Huell Howser fan. His back country charm was so out of place in California that you couldn't help but like him. He brought obscure locations, businesses, landmarks, anything to do with California to the average Californians attention. And he did it as if each topic was the 8th wonder of the world. That house you mentioned in Newberry Springs known as the Volcano House was very unique. I'd recommend everyone Google that and get a better perspective into Huell's mind.

So glad you did this vlog. I have one special memory of Huell Howser. Pres. Nixon's older daughter did a video of the tour of Nixon Library with Huell Howser. He had a speicial showing of that video along with a catered lunch and you hav to make reservations for it. I did. It was either June of 2000 or 2001. After the video, all of us went outside to tables and had a modest lunch (for the price). Huell came around each table and all of us (I was there by myself) asked him if they could get a photo of him with the person and I did. Never forget that. He was very personable and accommodating. It was kind of a dress up event too. I always watched Huell on CA Gold and his KCET shows (which by the way are still running). He certainly was the forerunner for all of you vloggers today. I was surprised when it came out he was gay and I didn't know his ameraman wrote a book and disclosed that. Not surprised he was cremated and ashes dispersed in the ocean. He left all his vlogs and a property to Chapman University. May he rest in peace.

Great episode! My mom and dad LOVED Huell Howser! In fact, they got me into watching him, years ago. My husband, loves him and said he was from Tennessee. I checked his Wikipedia page and he’s from Gallatin, TN. He’s from near Nashville. Which, we currently live in Knoxville. Can totally understand why he moved west, especially if he’s part of the LGBT community. Especially, back then (and now….) It’s just not a safe state. Even our middle adult kiddo don’t come home, much. They live in Washington. That’s another reason we will be moving back to PS, in a few years. His accent always made me giggle. It’s not straight up southern, but he has a lil Cali in his voice, too. Can’t think of a specific episode that was my favorite. Love them all. His type of commentary is sure missed. He was a one of a kind.

I was just thinking about Huell Howser, I had never heard of him until recently when his videos on KZread were coming up in my feed. Me and my husband just bought a condo about 3 months ago that's a ways down Sunrise by Ramon. I was looking for videos about California and enjoyed his his vlogs that came up. We're only going to be in Palm Springs half the year (back in Austin as of last week) but we are so glad we got the place there! We love going on walks in Prescott preserve and the trails around town in the mountains. I can't wait to get back this fall when it's a little cooler. IDK it's really hot here in Texas also plus it's sticky, but we love it here also. Have you been over to the Prescott preserve on Farrell? It's an awesome place to walk if it's not too hot, the full walk is about 6000 steps I think, and it goes by some cool ponds and also you get a good view of the Shag house on one part of the trail.

Ahhhh, you walked Sunrise Park! Thank you Steve.

It doesn't look like it did when I lived there, it's a different color, the carport has now been closed in as an addition to the house (it had a door on it when I lived there but the rear part was open to my back yard @ the walk way and rear fencing/gate). It was the one with the baskets hanging in what used to be my "Poodle tree" aka Olive tree that is no longer shaped. 283. I'm not a fan of the exterior now, took away from the Alexander styling it had, and the rear they removed the curved overhang over the patio tiles at the rear sliders to the pool. 1990, $110K!

I think Huell Houser was just a west coast phenomenon. In particular California. I don't know if anybody elsewhere would've recognized him. But he really made an impact by his personality. I did hear through the grapevine he was gay in the 90's. But I took it as gossip, because Huell looked very masculine to me then. Another original gay vlogger in NYC was Nelson Sullivan. He's got footage from the late 70's. But his original vlogs started in 1983. He had NYC pride footage, up and coming drag celebrities before they made it big (RuPaul). Up and coming gay bands (The world famous Pop Tarts). He also hung out with the NYC party kids (which were primarily gay club kids). I pretty much binged on all his vlogs. It really opened up a portal to gay life pre-protective gay laws, the pre gentrification of NYC, and Nelson Sullivan documentary on daily life pre smartphones. DISCLAIMER: Nelson Sullivan does die in 1989. He pretty much filed his life for the world to see later. They've been downloaded to KZread. If there's been any vlogger (now called influencer). That's made a profound impact and following, is Nelson Sullivan. It took a few months to watch most of his videos. But I would definitely recommend them to you. Since I heard you in the past Steve follow other gay vloggers. If you want to find the godfather of vlogger's. Look him up.
