First its the Mary$ville Bok Kai parade, then we head South to the Wisteria Festival in Sierra Madre to see one GIANT vine, then he wraps it up in (SH)Redlands to attend the Lincoln Shrine Open House.

First Huell takes us to El Centro to visit the old plank road, its a wooden road over huge sand dunes! Then he heads west to Campo near San Diego to visit the site of the last mounted cavalry in the US Armed Forces, some of which were were the famous Buffalo Soldiers.

Where are all the people?! Huell heads up north to Downieville to visit the Lost Sierra and is on the search for geese, horseshoes, and some good conversation with a boy about the river. Then on to visit the Mountain Messenger, the oldest weekly newspaper in California. This sleepy gold rush town really does run a littler slower...But once Huell gets to the slopes of Plumas County, he will be going very fast. Well, thats the idea anyway as Huell visits the Skiing Musuem and watches how ski racing was done during the gold rush days. So go grab some ski dope, pull a plank off the fence and meet us in the mountains of the Lost Sierra as we continue our search for Huell's Gold!
