Places I’ve Wanted to Go – California’s Gold (11002)

Join Host Huell Howser on an adventure to two places he’s been wanting to visit for years! First up is a a stop along Highway 395 in the town to Lee Vining to see the Upside Down House. Built by Nellie Bly O’Bryan and inspired by children’s books – it is considered Mono County’s first man-made tourist attraction. Huell gets a tour from some of the locals who lovingly restored it after many years of decay. Next is a stop at the Livermore Fire Department to see the 107 (and counting) year old lightbulb. Learn how and why this bulb has been burning nonstop for over 100 years. You can even see it yourself on the webcam:
