Huell spends a couple of days exploring some of the many interesting places in Los Angeles including La Brea Tar Pits, the LAX Theme Building, the first structure built at UCLA, Grand Central Market, Little Tokyo, and The Music Center.
Huell gets the full Golden Gate Bridge experience by going across, under, above, inside and on top of it. He learns its construction history from two original crew members and rare footage and then meets the current daily maintenance crew.
Huell searches the desert for big things. He sees giant wind turbines near Palm Springs. At Boron he enters the state's largest open-pit mine and rides in a huge ore truck. He climbs a gigantic antenna dish at Goldstone Deep Space Network.
