Here, Huell visits the desert town of Newberry Springs, unannounced and ill-prepared.
He later purchased a home there, Volcano House, built atop a cinder cone. From Wikipedia:

On September 3, , Chapman University sold the Volcano House for $,
Current plans for Volcano House include some type of strange seclusion/recovery retreat, though one does not have to be ill to leave there. It is somehow going to be free. It sounds like a suspicious tax scheme.
He died of prostate cancer and requested no funeral, supposedly to avoid attention.

It’s always refreshing to turn on the television, peruse the channels and come across the affectionate smile and enthusiastic essence of Rob Stewart, host of KVIE’s Rob on the Road. Stewart’s engaging personality always lures me in. Being a boyfriend of California, I’m forever searching for new adventures and Rob on the Road provides that, taking viewers all over Northern California and beyond to explore the people, places, history and beauty this area has to present.
Stewart’s personality shines as bright, if not brighter, in person. During our conversation we talked about his upcoming shows, how his life has changed over the last several years and, of course, Huell Howser.

People can say what they will about&#;Huell&#;Hower’s television work, but there is little doubt he was a unique embodiment of California. During the L.A. riots in , I witnessed Howser produce a revolver and personally guard my neighborhood Radio Shack in the Larchmont district. He was just fed up with people wrecking his city and practically dared anyone to try and snatch a boombox. That incident cemented my esteem for him. Yeah his show was corny, but he was a guide to everything great
