When my job transferred me to So Cal 7 years ago I watched Huell to learn about strange and off-beat places to visit in my new home state. The book 'Weird California', the Los Angeles Times and Sunset Magazine have also been travel guides for me.
Texas has the same type of show called Texas Country Reporter with Bob Phillips, but he isn't as colorful as Huell Howser is. There is also a 'Weird Texas' book. Texas and California are almost tied with weird and unusual people, religions and places.
Howser will be missed, maybe Charles Phoenix will be the next host of California's Gold.
