I moved to the Bay Area from Ohio in 1993 and this show was what taught me about my new home. The theme song will always be stuck in my head.

I just saw Doug in a 2020 commercial about trails and distancing. Good to see he’s still doing it. I told my wife I watched this show when I was a teenager in the 90’s. I remember he’d drive a Jeep Wrangler in some shows.

@@chirotouch I haven't done so yet but now I want to. I remember one show he had a product which was like a deck of cards of all the places he visited or spoke about.

Growing up, my parents and I watched Backroads every week (and KRON 4 was the nightly local news) so seeing this was a good slice of nostalgia pie. I thought about the show earlier and all these years later that harmonica riff in the theme song still came to me immediately!

Thanks. I grew up in the BA (1960 to 2000) and really like watching BA Backroads.

I never watched the show but that opening theme is so nostalgic

@blount_man 3 года назад

The show was pretty good. He would go around finding hidden gems and trails and beyond

@ediomondon7672 3 года назад

blount_man I know what it is as I grew up in the bay and the show would come on KRON, I just never watched it. Love that opening jingle though

This episode where he is at used to be a Naval base at one time I remember being there with my US Navy Dress blues I remember being taken to the base hospital because I had a heat stroke due to Navy dress blues the one thing I don't like about them they definitely absorb the heat from the Sun remember if you were your dress blues do not lock your knees or you will hit the deck hard and fast trust me I know

are you planning on uploading more episodes?

I may have an additional episode of this locally produced series that could be posted in the future; it is a matter if it will surface in the many unlabeled boxes of tapes in my possession. So far I've not been vigorous with posting additional videos of any Bay Area contents because of concerns of potential content claims by the local TV stations in the Bay Area. In other RU-vid channels I've produced in past years, some posted videos dating back 25 years prior got hit by content claim from TV networks; resulting with the YT channels placed on probation. Your comment and viewing this YT is greatly appreciated.
