Lighthouse – California’s Gold (701)

Visit a place that very few Californians have ever seen: the St. George Reef Lighthouse, eight miles off the coast of Northern California, in Crescent City. Join Huell as he is airlifted to the tiny reef which holds this now-abandoned century old treasure. This one-of-a-kind structure reaches 142 feet in the air and is a “wave washed” lighthouse–meaning that it takes the brunt of the sea from all sides.
