Join Huell as he gets a tour of this historic and controversial piece of land... all 7,500 acres of it! Located way up north by the town of Eureka, Huell sees some of the rusting remnants of Falk, an old logging town, and walks among 1,000-year-old growth Redwoods, and learns about the other flora and fauna that make this spot such a great piece of "California's Gold."

Why, that's the U.S. Bank Tower, of course.
Sunday, Nov 18 @ 7:30PM -- "Pyramid"
Join Huell as he learns about and then tours the sometimes-controversial history of the Transamerica Pyramid, all the way up to the vertigo-inducing tip of the spire, which is set against the San Francisco skyline.
