Where's Huell? Mapping Howser's California Gold
View Where's Huell? in a larger map
Move aside, Waldo. We're all about this new interactive map published by KCET that shows us where the legendary Huell Howser has been on his California Gold explorations of our bountiful state.
From the kitschy to the a-mayyyy-zing, the cherished TV host has shared his visits to islands, marketplaces, historic sites, rivers, prisons, pageants, deserts, ranches, wineries and so many, many more. KCET hopes you'll chime in within the map's comments section to let them know if you've been somewhere Howser has, too.
