That Newberry Springs show was the best, unrehearsed, pure road trip gold. He visited some real characters on that trip. Huell owns the Volcano house in that area, it is up for sale.
I went sailing with Huell last year, genuine guy for sure, it was a cold, wet and windy day on the bay, but he was a great sport about it!
I like the part on the half done cables hike episode where he tops out and walks up to a couple guys about to celebrate the summit with some shots and he offers Huell a shot. Huell says sure, the camera cuts away for a couple seconds and comes back and you know Huell just downed the shot and was even happier than normal.
