4:33 I discovered this video by looking into a sample off “buzzcut daisy” by Jane Remover, sampling this conversation directly. That’s how I ended up here, learning about the touching legacy of Huell, and I’m glad his story wasn’t lost on me. Now I’ll be glad that I’ll hear this delightful man’s voice will forever be captured in my daily music playlist.

Jane is seriously a genius for sampling this. Huell is kind of an icon of niche 2000s media. As a kid growing up in california, when we didn’t have cable i watched huell howser TONS on pbs as a kid. My aunt was even in an episode one time, eating tacos in the background haha, too bad we never found which episode it was. But if you grew up watching california public tv in the 2000s, you’ll instantly recognize his voice. If you’re really interested in him, there’s a small museum dedicated to him in the Chapman University library in Orange County, it’s very detailed and a quite touching tribute to his legacy. Coincidentally, I stumbled upon it last year while renting a laptop so I could make some beats on garageband , waiting for my girlfriend to get out of her class. This was around the time i got into jane removers music as well, and i even made a song which samples huell howser at that time! If i listened back to it now, im sure it is horrible haha. But anyways, here I am listening to frailty a year later, getting ready to see her live in concert, and i realized Huell was sampled in buzz cut daisy! Life is a small world

As a TV personality he had truly rare qualities that never varied, remaining consistent for his entire career. In the end he really was just an ordinary person who made the mundane interesting and treated folks he met along the way with a genuine respect .

I hope to one day get over there and explore Bombay beach and meet the wonderful locals. RIP

Kat it isn't he same, look it up on Google earth, the sea is drying up, the trailers in the salt ponds have been tractored down, the rusty steel cars and fences have been recycled and the sea level is at least 10 feet lower (I am thinking 15 but it is hard to tell). The town of Bombay beach is still there and a few of the original people but this video is about 20 years old now and after 20 years it is sort of a ghost town, lots of empty houses and trailers. It is a sad remembrance of a resort town that once was. Salton Sea is was a unique accident with a short lived life that I got to see the end of in the 1980s. For over 30 years now there has been all sorts of studies and talks of what to do with it and it appears the answer is just let it dry up and the silt from the sea bed blow into So Cal. The new talk is salt marsh beds across the bottom of the sea bed to save the birds.

Coincidentally, I watched this episode today (May 25th) on Memorial Day, which is also my dad’s birthday. And the air date (August 27th) is the date that my dad passed away. I guess it’s pretty fitting as the episode deals with a lot of death from the fish skeletons to the locals dying off to the dead town itself. I’m sure that Wayne “Wacko” and Leigh(sp?) are likely dead by now. And we know Huell is no longer with us.

My wife and I passed by there a couple of years ago to check out what the Salton Sea was all about. It was depressing. The area we passed through, with people still living there, looked like a perfect setting of a post apocalyptic story and if we saw zombies start to walk around the houses, we wouldn't be surprised. We parked and I walked down the beach to the water, which stunk of sulfur and other chemicals. It was really sad because I have a friend at work who tells of her childhood in the 70's when they would go to the Sea for vacations....

There were also a couple of mostly-intact houses with old newspaper clippings, clothing/furniture, and writing on the wall. One of the coolest things I've seen is written on one of the walls, "Mother Nature Vs. Capitalism".

I was just at Bombay Beach, two weeks ago. I wish I had seen this video before to have some reference. This place is like a ghost/zombie town, now. It doesn’t smell bad at all, but it feels creepy because of all the abandoned homes, graffiti, etc. It’s still very unique place to visit. It’s so hot over there, even with the wind.

18:18 “What is this?”...crunch, crunch... That’s how untouched beaches are, shells and skeletons, all sun bleached and broken down by the tumbling in the waves. And then sand blasted on the shore by the wind.

Been to the Salton Sea several times. Beautiful? Sort of. Walking on the "crunchy sand" freaks you out once you realize it's fish bones. Swim in it or eat the fish? Not a chance in the world.

This originally aired in 1999. I’m so curious to see the sea now Edit : I just went. The art installations are cool but the town looks like it has seen better days. Makes me sad to think how these old timers would feel about it now. I am assuming most of them have passed

Have been to all 50 states, HI, Alaska Included. Extensively. Been thru-out Canada. Born and raised in Los Angeles. Somehow never made it down to these wonderful lands. Known of and about Salton Sea/Slab City for quite some time. Used to watch Huell and California's Gold every chance I got. Still love the shows. Don't recall this episode but its nice to come across. Also thank you for giving the original air date, and in fact, the description didn't have it. Any of Huell Howsers old shows I still watch when i see em'.😎✌peace.

@@walterwhite1 I am not sure how the town is still there. Some of the locals do go swim in the sea but I didn’t really see a single soul outside in the town. It’s super far removed from other towns / businesses.

Part of Huell's classic 'Desert Trilogy' of the Salton Sea, Amboy Crater and Newberry Springs videos done several years back for his various tv programs on California PBS. Huell shows us around Bombay Beach, located on the Salton Sea led by some local characters. Gives us all an idea of what it's like to live there, at least a little bit of an idea,, and what we can do to improve things. The area has been struck with some nasty hits from mother nature, from fish die offs and floods to regular visitors and campers not returning to this once popular resort area. A once leading summer 'place' (mostly winter, summer was too hot) for Californians as you can see today the place is down and out. Although the locals, and for once Huell who always tends to stay out of these kinds of con jobs from the locals. Clearly there to pitch the place to his fans, the people he interviews go right into promotional gear and start pumping the real estate info thru Huell. Huell, later on, purchased a house nearby, over in Newberry Springs. His main house was in Palm Springs, his secondary house in LA. He also owned a place at Amboy. So, in a way, he's beating the drum for his own benefit. The locals who gloss over the hazards of the Sea and of living near don't do us any favors. The area is mostly populated by folks like these. If you come to see the place, you can easily find them. Huell lets us know about the Sea and people who are there. That was several years ago. Since then the place hasn't gotten any better and the Sea is facing some serious actions to make it good again. The Sea was major rec area after the War and continued on until the 70s when it just died off. Hundreds of thousands would visit it each year, mostly with RVs but some took the family station wagon loaded with the kids and listening to Del Shannon sing 'Runaway', others flew into its small local airport while many, a lot really, took the old Southern Pacific Special Train from San Diego, LA, SF and Orange County and stayed at local hotels who had stay & eat & play deals with them for taking the train.
