Awesome to see that man. I work for HBCSD and our district office is now at what used to be Kettler Elementary. I think it is getting close to the 50 year mark of the Mason time capsule placed in the school. I can not imagine what is behind there. Probably so much history.
I am 68 and moved to Huntington Huntington Beach when I was 10 years old in 1963. Iam also a retired professional archaeologist and I worked along the coast. We found lots of the Cogstones and other artifacts in the area.
I am 83 years old and moved to Huntington Beach when I was 22 years old in 1963. My parents owned the Foster's Old Fasion Freeze on Westminster Blvd., across from Bolsa High School. I met my wife there in 1965. We got married in 1967. We lived in Westminster, Santa Ana and Garden Grove. We moved out of California in late 1979.
@@williamfaulkner1959 Wow! That is interesting. I was telling someone recently, that when we first moved to the City. Magnolia, was still called Cannery, and from Adams ave to the Beach, it was still a dirt Road and where Edison High School is located, it was a local dump.
I have lived at Springdale and Slater since 1965. As kids, we scratched around the wetland. Made rafts, chased lizards, sneaked in to the bunkers, got chased by Smokey. Good times! Great video. Cheers!
My name is Kristina Johnson and i have many pictures and some yearbooks from Huntington Beach high school my grandmothers name was Annabelle Cooper and my great grandfather belonged to the elks lodge that is still in Newport's Harbor she also was the winner of a beauty contest in the 1930's i still have the cup from that in her trunk
Not sure if you know about the bunker below your feet, The main door was filled in many years ago to keep people from going into the bunker. On other note my son and his friends are the ones who started to build the bike jumps next to where you are standing.
Got fascinated by the local indigenous people many years ago, saw cogstones at a museum in Santa Ana. I once saw a TV show about tribes in Chile, and they made war hammers with stones shaped very much like the Bolsa Chica cogstones, but with a hole in the center for the shaft to go through. Never followed that up with more research. I always wondered if maybe some of those got traded up the coast, to the H.B./Bolsa Chica area, and cogstones were based on those. Just an idea. But the stones in Chile looked nearly identical to Bolsa Chica cogstones.
I just drove past several undeveloped wetlands in San Diego county on the 5 freeway, such as near Encinitas and Leucadia. Also, as you know, the Back Bay in Newport is somewhat undeveloped. I’m glad they’re still there.
I get upset by it still every time I drive up Warner. And to learn it was sacred Native American ground makes it even worse. I miss the farm off Graham too
This episode is the weirdest s#%t EVER. That guy is literally a BODY SNATCHER, and he’s being treated like Eagle Scout of the year. It’s DISGUSTING! Ironically, I’m watching this on the day that 6 acres of Bolsa Chica has been given back to the Tongva and Acjachemen People. God bless those poor people, and forgive us for the horrible BS we’ve put them through.

This is so interesting! I was born N raised here and still live here. I will be reading his book, such an intelligent man.

I love old men like this! They always have so much to tell us!
We should listen to them. :)
This is why the Bolsa Chica Land Trust is working to purchase and protect this space from development.
Really enjoyed finding out more about HB. Thank you
He's an HB treasure. I'll be ordering his book.
My grandma is buried in the Good Shepherd cemetery in HB, too. She lived in LA and OC from 1915-1997. RIP, Grandma 💝
He speaks of my ancestors 😊. We are Acjachemen from San Juan Capistrano

That upper Bolsa Chica Mesa may very well be the site of the Tongva (Gabrielino) village of Lukup (or Le'coup).
Have you considered an episode covering Ocean View Mushroom Growers -- the huge mushroom farm off Goldenwest?
Oh I remember those well, especially the smell.
Make more videos! So interesting

how do we order Bill's book? I can't locate a link.
Why did you turn off the comments about the End Cafe episode?
Her original family home was on 11th street across from lake park where i had my sweet 16th suprize birthday party
I like how you spelled “surprise” as if your birthday party was a prize that you won. 😊
i hate that they developed the wetlands...hb's worst decision in my lifetime.
