.

>> Huell: AND TAKE US THROUGH SOME OF THE MOST SCENIC AND HISTORIC TERRITORY IN THE ENTIRE COUNTY.

AND HERE TO SET UP THE STORY FOR US.

FROO YOURSELF.

>> I'M FROM THE CARRIAGE MUSEUM.

>> AND I'M PETER PRESIDENT OF THE CARRIAGE MUSEUM.

>> I'M LISA, THE CREATOR OF THESE SIGNS.

>> Huell: OKAY.

THESE SIGNS, THE REASON WE'RE HERE AND THE REASON THIS STAGE COACH IS PARKED OUT HERE AND THE REASON ALL THESE PEOPLE ARE GATHERED HERE, IS THAT WE'RE GETTING READY TO HAVE A BIG EVENT TODAY.

SET THE STAGE FOR US ABOUT THE HISTORY THF STAGE ROUTE.

>> THIS WAS THE ORIGINAL STAGE THAT WENT UP AND DOWN THE MOUNTAINS.

IT TOOK 8 HOURS TO GET THERE.

>> Huell: SO THIS WAS THE LAST STAGE TO RUN PG-BREAK SANTA BARBARA COUNTY.

>> YES UNTIL 1901.

>> Huell: WHICH MAKES IT VERY HISTORIC.

>> RIGHT.

>> Huell: NOW THE STAGE ROUTE, STARTED, I UNDERSTAND, RIGHTS HERE IN FRONT OF THE ARLINGTON THEATER.

>> YES, THERE WAS A BIG HOTEL CALLED THE ARLINGTON HOTEL.

>> Huell: AND THIS PATH WAS CALLED?

>> SAN MARKUS PASS.

>> Huell: AND IT WAS A BIG DEAL TO MAKE IT OVER THE PASS.

>> YES, IT TOOK 8 HORSE TO SEE.

>> Huell: WHAT WAS THE STAGE CALLED.

>> THE OVERLAND STAGE.

>> Huell: WHAT WE'RE DOING ON THIS TRIP TODAY, IS PATRICIA AND HER ORGANIZATION HAVE PUT UP ALL THESE PERMANENT SIGNS ALL ALONG THE WAY OF THE ORIGINAL ROUTE.

WE'RE GOING TO GO NOT ON THE STAGE--IT WON'T MAKE IT.

>> IT SKO.

>> >> Huell: LET'S SEE HOW STURD' THIS STAGE IS.

>> IT WAS BULLET IN 1961.

IT WAS--COMPARED TO TODAY, IT WAS A CHEVROLET COMPARED TO A CADILLAC.

YOU SEE NO DOORS.

A WELLS FARGO STAGE HAD NO DOORS, THIS WAS YOUR TYPICAL LOW FAIR RIDE.

>> Huell: HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE IN THERE.

>> WELL YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER NA YEARS AGO, THEY USED TO JUST WEIGHT 120 POUNDS.

SO THEY USED TO PACK THEM IN THERE.

>> Huell: WAIT A MINUTE THEY WOULD NOT GET 19 PEOPLE IN THERE.

>> THEY HAD DIFFERENT MODELS, SO YOU WOULD GET A GOOD RIDE IF YOU WERE UP ON TOP GOING DOWN.

>> Huell: AND NOW WE WERE TALKING DPSH--LOOK OVER HERE, LOUIE.

>> THIS WAS A VERY COMFORTABLE RIDE.

>> Huell: SO IT HAD A REAL GOOD BOUNCE TO IT.

>> IT HAD A REALLY GOOD BOUNCE TO IT.

>> Huell: WELL SORRY WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO GO ON THE STAGE TODAY.

WE'RE GOING TO SEE A COUPLE OF STAGES ALONG THE WAY.

AND STOP AT A LOT OF HISTORIC SPOTS TODAY.

BECAUSE PICKLY WHAT WE'RE DOING IN THIS BIT OF CALIFORNIA AND SANTA BARBARA HISTORY.

WE'RE GOING TO START HERE, AT THE ARLINGTON HOTEL BACK THEN.

WE'RE GOING?

>> 45 MILES.

>> Huell: 45 MILES TO THE END OF THE STAGE ROUTE.

TO?

>> MADY'S TAVERN.

>> Huell: SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SOME WONDERFUL ADVENTURES AND LEARN ABOUT SANTA BARBARA HISTORY AND SEE A LOT ALONG THE WAY.

>> IF YOU OPENED A BOTTLE OF WHISKEY YOU SHARED AND DIDN'T OVERLOOK THE DRIVER.

>> Huell: I DON'T THINK THERE WILL BE ANY COYOTES?

>> THERE MIGHT BE.

>> Huell: WE MIGHT SET THE STAGE IN A MINUTE.

IF I WANTED TO SIT IN IT I WOULD HAVE TO SIT ON THE DRIVER'S SEAT.

>> OH YEAH, THAT'S THE BEST SEAT IN THE HOUSE.

>> Huell: WE'LL SIT IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT AND THEN START THIS WONDERFUL ADVENTURE THROUGH SANTA BARBARA COUNTY.

WE'RE HAVING A RECREATION TO SEE WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO RIDE ONE OF THESE THINGS.

WHAT ARE SOME OF THE RULES.

>> IF YOU WERE TO OPEN A BOTING, WAS TO SHARE IT AND NOT FORGET THE DRIVER.

AND IF YOU WERE GOING UPHILL, MAKE SURE THE GENTLEMAN GO FIRST AND LET THE LADIES STAY IN WHILE THE COACH WAS GOING UP THE HILL.

>> Huell: DIDN'T YOU SAY ABOUT SPITING.

>> ONE IMPORTANT THING, YOU DIDN'T WANT TO SPIT INTO THE WIND.

>> Huell: AND SOME RULE ABOUT FROE PROFANITY?

>> IF THERE WERE ANY LADIES--THEY REFERRED TO THEM AS THE WEAKER SEX.

>> Huell: OH BOY, THAT'S ALL CHANGED.

WE'VE GOT OUR RULES DOWN.

WE CAN'T CURSORE--CURSORE, OR .

>> PAY YOUR TWO BITS TO GET ON AND GET ON OVER THE HILL.

>> Huell: OKAY WE'VE COME A COUPLE OF MILES FROM DOWNTOWN SANTA BARBARA NOW WE'RE ON HOL HOLSTER BOULEVARD.

OLD STAGE ROUTE.

MR. HOSTER.

COME OVER HERE, YOU'RE THE MAN RIGHT HERE.

SAYS RIGHT HERE, STAGE COACHES PROCEED ALONG HOLSTER AVENUE IN THE DIRECTION OF WW HOLSTER.

NOW YOU'RE RELATE TODAY KERNEL HOLSTER.

>> YES, THAT WAS MY GREAT GREAT GRANDFATHER.

I'M RELATED TO HIM AND THAT ONE OF HIS SON'S WAS JOHN JAMES HOMSTER JUNIOR AND SENIOR AND I'M JOHN JAMES HOLSTER THE THIRD.

THIS MY GREAT GRANDMOTHER WAS GRANNY JAMES HOLSTER.

THEY WOULD GO TO THE ARLINGTON HOTEL WHICH THEY OWNED.

>> Huell: WHICH WAS THE FIRST STOP ON THE STAGE COACH.

>> ALL RIGHT.

AND THEY HAD ALL THIS LINED WITH PALM TREES.

EVERYWHERE FROM THE GLENN A KNEE--ANNIE.

>> Huell: AND HIS CONNECTION WITH THE STAGE?

>> HE NEEDED THE STAGE TO TAKE PEOPLE FROM LAMP POST TO SANTA BARBARA.

>> HE OWNED LAMBPOET?

>> HE OWNED THE CITY OF LAMBBOAT.

WE DIDN'T GET IT BACK.

SO IT DIDN'T COME BACK TO THE FAMILY.

>> Huell: BUT YOU'RE FAMILY IS VERY MUCH CONNECTED WITH THE HISTORY OF THE STAGE BECAUSE IT RAN UP AND DOWN THIS ROUTE FROM HIS ARLINGTON HOTEL THROUGH THE PASS TO LAMBPO.

>> THAT'S CORRECT THAT'S WHY HE NEEDED THAT LINE.

OWNED BY HIS DAUGHTER I NOW HAVE THAT RAUFRJ AND--RANCH STO.

CHANGING HORSES.

>> Huell: BOY, THERE IS A LOT OF HISTORY IN SANTA BARBARA, ISN'T THERE.

>> THERE IS.

>> Huell: YOU ALL TAKE IT SERIOUSLY.

>> WE ENJOY IT.

>> Huell: WELL, NICE TO MEET YOU.

WE'VE GOT TO MOVE ON.

HOW MUCH MORE STOPS?

WHERE'S PATRICIA, HE'S GOT THE SCHEDULE.

WE'VE GOT TO DO ALL THIS IN ONE DAY.

NOW ARE YOU ALL COMING ALONG ON THE TRIP?

SO WE'VE GOT THE CARS GASSED UP.

NICE TO MEET YOU SIR.

>> NICE TO MEET YOU.

>> Huell: WHAT WAS IT YOU SAID WHEN WE FIRST MET THAT YOU WERE HERE BY ACCIDENT OF?

>> BY BIRTH, I JUST HAPPENED TO LAND HERE.

I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS ROAD IT WAS MY GREAT GRANDFATHER.

I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE HOLSTER RANCH.

>> Huell: AND NOTHING TO DO WITH THE STAGE--BUT YOU'RE A HOLSTER THAT'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR THE SHOW.

WE'RE OFF TO THE NEXT STOP.

>> Huell: NOW IS WHEN THE TRIP GETS INTERESTING, WE'RE HEADING UP SAN MARCOS ROAD AND IF YOU CAN IMAGE A STAGE COMING UP THIS ELEVATION AND LOOK AT THE SWITCH BACKS.

THIS IS THE FAMOUS PART OF THE ROUTE.

THEY TELL US THAT IT WAS NOEND AS THE Ws THAT'S WHAT THE DRIVERS AND THE PASSENGERS CALLED THEM BECAUSE OF ALL THE SWITCH BACKS.

GOING ALL THE WAY THROUGH THIS PASS.

THIS WAS A VERY TREACHEROUS PART OF THE ROAD.

AND IN MANY PLACES THEY SAY THAT THE PASSENGERS HAD TO GET OUT OF THE STAGE AND HELP PUSH THE STAGE UP OVER THE MOUNTAIN.

AND AROUND SOME OF THESE CURVES.

AND BOY, LOOK AT ALL THESE TWISTS AND TURNS.

IT'S HARD ENOUGH IN A CAR, IMAGINE WHAT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE IN A STAGE COACH.

LOOK AT THIS.

TO THE LEFT TO THE RIGHT.

TO THE LEFT, TO THE RIGHT.

AND TO THE LEFT AGAIN.

THERE IS NOT A STRAIGHT STRETCH OF ROAD ANYWHERE AROUND HERE.

NOW WE'VE PULLED OFF THE MAIN ROAD AND WE'RE GOING THROUGH THIS AMAZING LITTLE COUNTRY ROAD HERE.

I'M NOT SURE WHERE WE'RE GOING BUT WHAT A NEAT LITTLE, TINY LITTLE ROAD HERE THAT LOOKS LIKE IT HAS NO TRAFFIC IN IT THESE DAYS.

BUT IF WE'RE ON IT, THAT MEANS IT'S PART OF THE ORIGINAL STAGECOACH ROAD, WELL OVER 100 TO 150 YEARS AGO.

LOOK AT THIS.

THIS IS GREAT.

IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

MARROW, BUT BEAUTIFUL.

ALL RIGHT.

NOW WE HAVE COME TO A VERY HISTORIC SPOT.

WHERE ARE WE PATRICIA.

>> WE'RE AT HASTEINGS RANCH.

THIS IS WHERE THE TOLLS WERE COLLECTED AND OVER THE TOP CAME DOWN FROM THE FIRST ROUTE THIS WAS SLIPPERY ROCK.

>> Huell: WOW, NOW WE'VE GOT THE FAMILY MEMBER HERE.

>> I'M LOUISE.

MY GRANDFATHER CAME AFTER THE CIVIL WAR HE WAS IN GETS BERG.

AND THE STAGECOACH DRIVER SAID WE NEED A POLL AND WHY DON'T YOU APPLY.

SO HE DID AND GOT THE JOB.

HE HAD THE TOLL ROAD FOR, OH EVER.

FOREVER.

AND THE GATE--THE LAST TIME THE GATE USED TO BE BACK THERE.

THE LAST TIME IT WAS THERE BY WHERE THE RANCH WAS.

HE TOOK THE TOLLS BUT HE HAD THESE BEAUTIFUL RANCH HOUSE.

>> THE RANCH HOUSE AND A CHINESE COOK HOME, USED TO COOK BREAKFAST FOR THE PASSENGERS.

AND THERE IS A BIG ROCK UP THERE WHEN THEY GOT TO THE ROCK, THEY WOULD BLOW A HORN AND THEN MY GRANDMOTHER WOULD PUT THE BREAKFAST ON IT.

>> Huell: NOW THE HOUSE BURNED IN 72?

>> 1972.

CAN YOU SHOW A PICTURE.

>> Huell: THIS IS THE WAY THE HOUSE LOOKED.

THERE IT IS AND IT WAS LOCATED RIGHT DOWN THERE.

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL HOME.

>> THEY USED TO HAVE VERY IMPORTANT PEOPLE STAY THERE.

WILLIAM HURS GAVE MY DAD A SIL SILVER DOLLAR.

MY DAD, KEPT IT MOST OF HIS LIFE AND THEN IT GOT MISPLACED.

>> Huell: WHAT IS THIS?

>> IT WAS CEDROS CABIN, THIS IS WHERE THE MEN LIVED THAT TOOK CARE OF THE HORSES.

MY DAD KEPT 25 HORSES.

>> Huell: THIS IS THE ORIGINAL?

>> YES, UH-HUH.

>> Huell: EVERYTHING ELSE IS GONE.

>> EVERYTHING ELSE IS GONE.

>> Huell: EXCEPT THE HISTORIC FACT THAT IT WAS ALL HERE AND THIS WAS A VERY IMPORTANT STOP.

>> VERY IMPORTANT TOP, YES.

AND IT WAS A SOCIAL PLACE TOO.

AND PEOPLE WOULD STAY OVERNIGHT.

>> Huell: YOU WERE OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE COUNTRY THOUGH.

>> OH I KNOW.

IT STILL IS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE COUNTRY.

>> Huell: THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING US TO STOP HERE.

>> THANK YOU FOR COMING.

>> Huell: NOW IN THE FAMILY TRADITION, DO YOU HAVE LUNCH PREPARED FOR US?

>> SURE.

>> Huell: LET'S GIVE HER A ROUND OF APPLAUSE.

LET'S FOR HAVING US HERE ON THE FAMILY PROPERTY.

>> Huell: OH MY GOSH, LOOK AT THIS.

WHAT A SHOT!

WELL, OUR ADVENTURE CONTINUES AND I'VE GOT TO TELL YOU, THIS IS ABOUT AS BEAUTIFUL OF PLACE AS WE CAN BE.

LET EVERYBODY KNOW WHERE WE ARE.

>> THIS IS CLOSE SPRING TAVERN.

IT WAS A RELAY STATION FOR THE STAGE COACHES.

THEY CAME DOWN THE HILL AND UP THE HILL.

>> Huell: SO THIS IS WHERE COMING THIS HILL, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A LOT OF RUN AWAY STAGES.

>> EXACTLY IT WAS A VERY HAZARDOUS HILL.

>> Huell: BUT WHEN THEY GOT HERE, THIS WAS A GOOD PLACE TO STOP.

>> YES, THERE WAS THIS NICE COOL SPRING WATER.

SO A MAN NAMED PARISH, OPENED A RESTAURANT UP HERE.

SO THIS MR. PARISH, BY GETTING BOTH STAGE LINES HAD A SUCCESSFUL ROUNT.

>> Huell: SO THERE WAS A LOT OF EATING.

>> IT TOOK THEM A LONG TIME.

8 HOURS FROM SANTA BARBARA.

>> Huell: THAT'S HAS BEEN A LANDMARK SINCE 1986.

WE HAD A WONDERFUL LUNCH INSIDE HERE TODAY, AND OUR HOSTESS.

INTRODUCE YOURSELF YOU OWN THIS PLACE.

>> HELLO THERE, WELCOME TO COLD SPRING TAVERN.

>> Huell: YOUR FAMILY HAS BEEN OWNING THIS SINCE?

>> 1941.

>> Huell: AND YOU WERE TELLING ME THAT YOUR MOTHER WHO ORIGINALLY BOUGHT THIS TAVERN WAS VERY PRECISE THAT THERE WERE NOT TO BE ANY CHANGES.

>> YES, SO WE HAVEN'T.

>> Huell: SO IT'S KIND OF LIKE IT WAS BACK THERE IN THE OLDEN DAYS.

>> AS CLOSE AS WE CAN DO IT.

>> Huell: AND WHAT KIND OF REACTION DO PEOPLE HAVE WHEN THEY COME IN AND SEE THE OLD PLACE?

>> THEY ARE SURPRISED TO FIND IT.

IT'S A REAL DISCOVERY TO THEM.

EACH PERSON--THEY SAY, I WANT TO BRING SO AND SO HERE.

THIS IS PART OF THE THING.

>> Huell: THE CHARM IS STILL HERE, DO YOU EVER WONDER WHAT IT MUST HAVE BEEN LIKE A HUNDRED YEARS AGO?

>> YES, I HAVE I REALLY HAVE.

>> Huell: WHAT DO YOU THINK IT WAS LIKE?

>> AS OPPOSED TO HOW WE HAVE IT NOW.

>> Huell: THAT'S A PERFECT ANSWER.

COME ON OVER HERE, I'VE GOT A QUESTION TO ASK EVERYBODY, HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE EVER BEEN HERE BEFORE?

OKAY.

HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE EVER BEEN HERE ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON?

NOW, THEY'RE THE PARTY PEOPLE RIGHT THERE.

BECAUSE I'VE GOT TO TELL YOU, THIS PLACE IS FAMOUS ON SANTA BARBARA ESPECIALLY ON SUNDAY AFTERNOONS THEY HAVE A BAND PLAYING HERE.

THEY HAVE BEVERAGES FOR PEOPLE TO DRINK.

AND WHERE'S THE LADY WHO HAD BEEN HERE BEFORE WITH HER GRANDFATHER.

TELL US ABOUT THE STORY.

>> THAT WAS WITH MY DAD UP EARLY 60s.

HE USED TO PILE US IN THE CAR AND MY MOM WOULD REST.

AND MY DAD WOULD HAVE A BEER AND THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I'VE BEEN INSIDE THE TAVERN.

>> Huell: ME TOO, I'VE BEEN OUTSIDE DRINKING THE BEVERAGES AND LISTENING TO THE MUSIC.

THIS IS THE MENU AND THEY PRIDE THEMSELVES IN KEEPING A HISTORIC MENU.

VENNISON, RABBIT, SQUIRREL, CHICKEN ALL THE HISTORIC THINGS.

AND TODAY THEY SAID WE WERE GOING TO HAVE A HISTORIC MEAL.

BUT ON MY MENU ONE OF THE SELECTIONS IS VEGGIE QUICHE.

FOR SOME REASON I DON'T THINK THESE PIONEERS WERE EATING QUEESH.

WE'VE HAD A GREAT STOP HERE JUST LIKE THOSE STAGE RIDERS HAD.

LET'S HAVE A ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR OUR HOSTESS HERE.

[APPLAUSE].

IN THIS WONDERFUL WONDERFUL PLACE, COLD SPRING TAVERN.

AFTER HAVING THE QUICHE WE'RE READY FOR A REAL ADVENTURE.

>> COME OFTEN AND STAY LONG.

A LOT OF ACTIVITY.

PATRICIA WHAT IS GOING ON.

>> WE'RE GOING TO REPLACE THE SIGN THAT SOMEBODY WALKED AWAY WITH.

WE'RE GOING TO LET YOU AND ERIK, WHO REPRESENTS WELLS FARGO, TO PUT THAT IN.

>> Huell: HOW MANY SIGNS DO YOU HAVE?

>> 53.

>> Huell: PEOPLE ARE PROBABLY TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S GOING ON.

DAVE, YOU'RE THE MAN WHO PUT THESE SIGNS TOGETHER.

>> IT TOOK ABOUT 3 AND A HALF WEEKS TO DO THE SIGNS.

>> Huell: TO PUT THEM TOGETHER?

>> TO PUT ALL THE WOOD TOGETHER, IT'S ALL CALIFORNIA RED WOODS AND IT HAS TO BE PRIMED AND PAINTED.

>> Huell: ERIK, WE'VE GOT TO FIRST THANK YOU AND WELLS FARGO FOR LUNCH.

IT'S VERY INTERESTING, YOU ALSO PAID FOR ALL OF THESE SIGNS ALL OF THESE MARKERS HERE IN SANTA BARBARA.

I'M SURE PATRICIA WILL GET US WITH MORE SIGNS.

>> WE STARTED WITH 12 AND I'M SURE WE'LL FINISH AT 120.

>> Huell: SHE MAY SIGN THE WHOLE COUNTY.

>> YES, BUT PEOPLE LIKE PATRICIA AND THINGS LIKE THAT THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE.

>> Huell: I JUST THOUGHT ABOUT HOW PREPARE FOR WELLS FARGO, THERE'S YOUR STAGECOACH.

>> THEY WERE MARKING THE ROUTE WE USED GO ON.

>> Huell: SO WELLS FARGO WENT THROUGH HERE.

>> THIS IS WHERE WE WOULD GO AND COUNT THE MONEY.

>> Huell: NO SPITING?

>> WELL SOME OF THEM STILL SPIT BUT WE HAVE TRIED TO CLEANLE LANGUAGE.

>> Huell: WELL, CREDIT IS DUE WHEN IT'S DUE, AND WELLS FARGO DIDESERVES A LOT OF CREDIT.

ANOTHER ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR WELLS FARGO.

ENOUGH OF THIS APPLAUSE LET'S HAVE AN OFFICIAL--THERE IT GOES.

THIS IS STOP NUMBER 31.

>> IS IT DEEP ENOUGH, DAVE?

>> Huell: DOES IT LOOK STRAIGHT?

>> THIS IS WHY THEY'RE JUST THROWING IN THE DIRT.

>> Huell: THAT WAS YOUR IDEA?

>> YES, IT WAS.

>> Huell: AND WHAT DID PEOPLE THINK WHEN YOU FIRST HAD THAT IDEA.

>> THEY THOUGHT IT WAS GOOD.

I HAD A PERSON, SAYING, THE VALLEY WILL NOT GET PRIVACY BUT SHE SOON GOT OVER THERE.

>> Huell: LET'S GET GROUP PICTURE.

BEFORE WE GET HIT BY A CAR THIS MAYBE THE LAST TIME WE'RE HERE.

COME ON LOUIE, THAT LOOKS GREAT.

OL' STAGECOACH 1861, PATRICIA SMILE AND WAVE, THIS IS YOUR PROJECT.

THE TOUR CONTINUES.

NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.

THIS OLD STAGECOACH ROUTE TAKES YOU THROUGH SOME OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY SIDE.

OUR NEXT STOP, IS THE BEAUTIFUL CITY OF SANTA YNEZ.

AND WE DISCOVERED WHEN YOU GET INTO TOWN, YOU'RE SURROUNDING WITH HORSE HISTORY.

WE'RE AT THE NEXT STOP AND EVERYTHING IS FALLING IN.

THE NAME THF MUSEUM.

>> THE HISTORIC SOCIETY.

WE'VE GOT STAGE COACHES AND I BELIEVE WE HAVE ONE OF THE SIGNS OUT HERE, SANTA YNEZ WAS A STOP.

>> Huell: STAGECOACH HAS THE OPERATIVE WORD TODAY.

>> YOU TRAVELS IN STAGES OR LEGS, COACH MEANS IT HAS A SOLID ROOF.

>> Huell: NOW WE'RE IN A JOHN CARRY'S HORSE.

AND YOU DIDN'T LIE TO US.

WHERE DID ALL THESE CARRIAGES AND STAGE COACHES COME FROM.

>> THE JOHN FAMILY THEY BUILT THEIR BUILDING AND SUPPLIED THEY'RE COLLECTION.

AND THEY MAKE THIS COLLECTION UP.

AND WHAT'S OUTSTANDING ABOUT THIS IS THE STAGECOACHS.

>> Huell: NOW LOOK I'M LOOKING FOR, OVERLAND STAGECOACH.

>> THIS IS ALL THE REAL THING.

NOT MANY MUSEUMS CAN SAY THAT WE HAVE ALL THE STAGES.

IT'S A LIGHTER WEIGHT VERSION OF THE STAGECOACH, THEY'RE CALLED MUD WAGS.

>> Huell: WOULD THIS WESTBOUNDCOULD BE--WOULD BE PART OF IT.

>> THAT WAS REDONE LATER.

>> Huell: AND WOULD THEY HAVE DONE THIS KIND OF?

>> THEY PUT THE MUERALS ON THE MUERALS AND THE GOLD LEAVE ARE ALL PART OF THE COACH.

>> Huell: THESE VERSION--AND LISTEN WE'VE BEEN OVER THAT PATH IN A CAR.

THIS WOULD NOT HAVE DONE MUCH FOR YOUR FANNY.

>> THEY WEREN'T CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR FANNY ONLY THE HORSES.

COMFORTABLE WAS NOT IN THERE AT ALL.

THE BODIES RIDE ON THE LEATHER.

>> Huell: YEAH, WE SAW THAT.

>> THE LEATHER ABSORBS THE SHOCK.

>> Huell: HOW RARE ARE THESE OLD STAGE COACHES, THESE OLD MUD WAGON.

>> THIS IS A TRUE STAGECOACH, THIS COACH IS VALUED AT OVER 100,000 DOLLARS.

>> Huell: OH MY GOSH.

AND WHAT ABOUT THIS MUD WAGON.

>> THAT WAS LESS, THAT WAS A HENDERSON COACH.

AND IT WOULD BE LESS.

>> Huell: BUT NOT MANY OF THEM LEFT WERE THEY.

>> WWII, THEY NEEDED IRON AND PEOPLE DIDN'T NEED THEY WOULD BE A NEED FOR THEM SO THEY WERE DESTROYED.

USUALLY THE RED WITH THE STRAW UNDER CARRIAGE AND FOUR TO SIX HORSES FOUR HORSES ON FLAT GROUND.

>> Huell: THERE'S THAT ACTION GOING.

YUP, WE ALREADY WENT ON THOSE THINGS.

>> THE DRIVER RIDES ONE FOOT ON THE STAGE AND ONE ON THE GROUND.

YOU CAN TAKE THE BOUNCE OUT OF THE CARRIAGE.

THIS IS A STABILIZER.

AND YOU NOTICE THE TALL WHEELS, ALSO THERE IS NO BAREINGS ON THESE.

THERE IS A LEATHER WASHER AND THAT'S IT.

>> Huell: THIS IS LIKE A LITTLE LECTURE WE'RE GETTING.

>> THE TALLER THE WHEEL, THE LESS REVOLUTION THE LESS WHERE AND TEAR.

>> Huell: WHEN PEOPLE--LET'S WALK OVER HERE.

YOU'VE GOT THEM LINED UP EVERYWHERE.

DO MOST OF THE PEOPLE REALIZE THAT THESE STAGES USED TO RUN IN THIS PART OF THE SANTA BARBARA COUNTY.

>> NO, I DON'T THINK MUCH PEOPLE KNOW.

BUT PEOPLE LIKE YOU MAKE THOEM AWARE OF THEM.

>> Huell: BECAUSE THIS IS A RICH HISTORY.

>> THAT'S RIGHT.

MOST OF THEM ARE AMERICAN MADE.

THAT'S WHAT MAKES THIS UNIQUE.

A LOT OF MUSEUM WILL HAVE EUROPEAN.

>> Huell: LOOK AT THIS ONE, OPEN STAGE PIPE.

>> THIS IS A OPEN STAGECOACH THEY WOULD TRANSFER TO THE OPEN STAGE FOR VIEWING THE MOUNTAINS.

>> Huell: YOU HAVE A GREAT COLLECTION HERE.

AND WE HAVE ONLY SEEN THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG.

>> WE'RE OPEN TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY FROM 12:00 TO 4:00 AND WE ACCEPT DONATIONS.

>> Huell: SOUNDS GOOD.

PATRICIA WE'VE GOT TO MOVE ON, BUT THAT WAS A GREAT SUGGESTION FOR US TO STOP HERE.

>> I'M GLAD YOU GOT TO SEE IT.

>> THIS IS THE REAL THING.

WE STARTED OFF IN SANTA BARBARA WITH THE LAST STAGECOACH TO ACTUALLY RUN THIS ROUTE IN 1901.

THIS GIVES US ANOTHER LOOK AT EVEN MORE STAGECOACHS.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

>> THANK YOU FOR COMING?

>> THE NAME.

>> SANTA YNEZ HISTORIC COUNTY.

>> OKAY.

WE LEFT MUSEUM AND WE'RE WALKING DOWN BEAUTIFUL SANTA Y NáEZ .

WE'RE GOING TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON ON.

>> THE CITIZENS DECIDE TODAY CELEBRATE 200 YEARS OF THE HISTORY HORSES IN THE VALLEY.

SO WE STARTED--THE FIRST HORSES CAME WITH THE SPANISH SOLDIERS WHO WERE HUNTING FOR A SITE FOR THE MISSION.

AND FROM THERE ON THE MISSION WAS ESTABLISHED AND THEY HAD 800 HORSES NEAR THE GING AND THEN THE HORSES WENT ON AND ON.

THEY WERE USED BY THE BACCER BACCEROS.

>> SO A LOT OF STAGECOACHS WERE FROM HERE.

>> ABSOLUTELY AND THEY WERE COMMEMORATEED HERE.

>> THIS IS AMAZING WE'RE YOU HAVE ALL OF THESE HORSE SHOES RIGHT IN THE PAVEMENT.

IT'S LIKE YOUR WALK OF FAME.

LIKE A HORSE WALK OF FAME.

>> THIS IS THE VALLEY OF THE HORSES IN SOME RESPECT.

WE HAVE A LONG HISTORY OF EVERY HORSE.

WE HAVE 32 DIFFERENT BRIEFS.

SO THOSE STAGECOACHS REALLY STARTED SOMETHING.

>> Huell: WHAT KIND OF HORSES WOULD HAVE PULLED THE STAGECOACHS.

>> THEY WERE DIFFERENT COLD-BLOODED BREEDS.

>> Huell: THEY HAD TO BE STURDY.

>> YES, AND THEY HAVE DEVELOPED INTO THE QUARTER TYPE.

BUT NOT FANCY HORSES BY ALL MEANS.

>> Huell: WELL THEY MAY NOT HAVE BEEN FANCY BUT THEY WERE STRONG.

>> YES NOW WE HAVE THOROUGH BREED HERE.

WE'VE GOT RONALD REGAN'S HORSE.

>> Huell: THIS IS FASCINATING, WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT YOU HAD THIS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF TOWN.

BUT WHEN YOU VISIT THIS SATURDAY OF THE COUNTY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO FIND.

OUR STAGECOACH TOUR CONTINUES.

WELL, AS OUR ADVENTURE CONTINUES, WE'VE MILE MILES FROM SANTA YNEZ.

WE'RE STANDING IN FRONT OF WHAT IS THE EXACT WORD FOR WHERE WE ARE?

>> THE BALLERED DENOBES.

WHAT IS THE CLAIM TO FAME OF THESE BEAUTIFUL OLD HOME THAT ARE SITTING HERE WITH ONE OF THE HISTORIC SIGNS OUT IN FRONT?

>> THIS WAS THE FIRST AMERICAN BUILDING IN THE VALLEY AND IT WAS BUILT AS A STAGECOACH STOP.

IT'S THE ONLY REMAINING STAGECOACH STOP.

>> Huell: AND IT'S THE SECOND OLDEST BUILDING OTHER THAN THE MISSION.

AND YOU LIVE IN IT AS YOUR HOME?

>> YES WE DO.

>> Huell: SO YOU'RE LIVING IN A HISTORICAL LANDMARK.

ALL RIGHT I THEY ALREADY LET US PEEK IN.

WILL YOU ALLOW US TO HAVE US IN.

>> WE WOULD BE DELIGHTED TO HAVE YOU.

>> Huell: IT DOES NOT GET PRETTIER THAN THIS PLANT.

HISTERIA GOING OVER THE TOP.

IT'S A WONDERFUL AFTERNOON AND WE'RE GOING INSIDE.

OUR HOME TOUR.

WE'RE INSIDE AND EXPLAIN TO US EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE SEEING.

>> THIS IS THE WELLS FARGO, OFFICE AND IT'S ADOBE, THIS WAS THE ROOM WITH ONLY ONE DOOR.

WHEN THE STAGECOACHS CAME INTO THIS LOCATION, THEY WOULD UNLOAD THE BOX.

AND THIS IS A REPLICA.

>> Huell: OH THIS IS THE WELLS FARGO, MONEY BOX.

>> THAT'S RIGHT AND ALL OF THE PRESSURES AND AS WELL AS THE SHIPMENTS FROM THE WELLS FARGO, WERE STORED IN THE BOX BETWEEN STATIONS.

>> Huell: IS THIS THE DOOR THEY WOULD HAVE USED?

>> NO IT'S A VERY TINY DOOR.

SO THEY WANTED IT ONE WAY IN OR OUT BECAUSE THAT WAS WHERE THE MONEY WAS GOING TO BE?

>> YES AND IT WAS GUARDED VERY CAREFULLY.

>> Huell: AND THIS IS THE ORIGINAL ADOBE?

>> YES.

>> Huell: AND WE HAVE A PICTURE OF HOW THE ADOBE LOOKED.

ONE OF THE PEOPLE WITH US, BROUGHT US TO OUR ATTENTION--.

>> I'VE NEVER SEEN THIS PICTURE BEFORE.

THIS IS AN I WONDERFUL ADDITION TO OUR COLLECTION.

>> Huell: THIS IS THE WAY THE ADOBE LOOKED--.

>> PROBABLY THE EARLIEST A PICTURE CAN BE TAKEN, THIS IS PROBABLY 1870.

>> Huell: THE PICTURE YOU ALREADY HAD UP ON THE WALL.

THIS IS VERY INTERESTING COMING THROUGH HERE.

THIS WONDERFUL LITTLE DOOR, VERY THICK AND THIS ROOM WOULD HAVE BEEN USED HOW?

>> THIS WAS FOR THE PASSENGERS TO HAVE THEY'RE MEALS AND TO REST BETWEEN THE CHANGES OF HORSES THAT WERE DONE HERE.

>> Huell: SO WAIT A MINUTE, HOW MANY PEOPLE WOULD BE IN HERE AT A TIME?

>> STAGECOACH COULD CARRY 16 PEOPLE.

THEY USUALLY DIDN'T HAVE THAT MANY BUT IT'S POSSIBLE.

>> Huell: WOULD THERE HAVE BEEN A BIG TABLE?

>> WE THINK A BIG TABLE AND BENCHS.

THIS IS A BIG PIECE OF PROPERTY THAT MR. BALLERRED FOUND AND HE WAS ABLE TO PROVIDE FOOD FOR THE PASSENGERS THAT WAS ALL GROWN HERE.

>> Huell: NOW, IS THIS THE ORIGINAL FIREPLACE?

>> NO, THAT WAS ADDED.

>> Huell: WAS THERE A FIREPLACE?

>> NO.

>> Huell: BUT THE WALLS WERE PRETTY THICK, SO IT KEPT IT COOL IN THE SUMMER AND RELATIVELY WARM IN THE WINTER.

>> THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT.

>> Huell: ARE THESE THE ORIGINAL CEILINGS.

>> YES AND THE ORIGINAL WINDOWS, THE GLASS WHICH IS AMAZING, THERE IS ONE WINDOW WITH MODERN GLASS.

>> Huell: BUT YOU'RE USING IT NOW AS YOUR LIVING ROOM.

>> YES AND THIS HAS BEEN A GENERATIONAL PROJECT FOR MY FAMILY.

MY PARENTS STARTED IN 1947, RESTORING THIS ADOBE AND ON GOING.

AND WE'VE TAKEN IT OVER AND NOW OUR SONS ARE INTERESTED.

AND THE NEXT GENERATION COMING ALONG.

>> Huell: WELL, IT'S A WONDERFUL WONDERFUL PIECE OF AMERICAN HISTORY.

>> IT'S COMFORTABLE AND DIFFERENT.

>> Huell: AND THIS IS THE SECOND OLDEST STRUCTURE IN THIS VALLEY, SECOND ONLY TO THE MISSION.

AND IT HAS A GREAT USE, YOU'RE LIVING IN IT.

>> AND YOU HAVE TO LIVE IN AN ADOBE TO KEEP IT, YOU KNOW, SO IT'S IN REPAIR OTHERWISE THEY FALL APART.

IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE AN ADOBE BECAUSE IT HAS WOOD IN THE FRONT AND THAT'S FROM KEEPING IT FROM ROTTING.

>> Huell: YOU REALLY DIDN'T SAY MUCH.

DID SHE HAVE ALL THE FACTS RIGHT?

>> SHE SURE DOES, MUCH BETTER THAN I.

>> Huell: WELL, THE ROSI'S HAVE BEEN NICE ENOUGH TO PROVIDE ALL OF OUR GROUP PUNCH AND COOKIES AND A NICE PLACE TO SIT.

>> YES, ON A NICE WARM DAY.

IT'S.

>> Huell: IT'S BEEN WONDERFUL.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ENTERTAINING.

DID YOU THINK THIS WAS GOING TO BE THAT BIG OF A CROWD.

>> NO, I DIDN'T EXPECT IT BUT THAT WAS NICE.

>> Huell: I WAS GOING TO SAY WHEN THE STAGE PULLED UP, THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHETHER IT WOULD BE 16 OR 1 PEOPLE.

BUT YOU WERE CARRYING ON THE TRADITION OF STAGECOACH HOSPITALALITY EVEN TODAY.

THIS TIES PERFECTLY.

>> THIS IS A PERFECT ENDING.

>> Huell: NEAR THE END, THIS IS THE TRIP THAT DOES NOT STOP.

WE DIDN'T THINK WE WERE GOING TO MAKE IT THIS FAR AND WE STILL HAVE A WAY TO GO.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HOSPITALITY A LOT OF HAPPY PEOPLE SITTING AROUND.

THEY ARE HAPPY TO BE TOWARD THE END TOO.

TIRED PEOPLE.

THINK OF THESE PEOPLE FELT BUMPING ON THAT STAGE DOECH ALL DAY.

WE'RE ON OUR WAY TO OUR LAST STOP.

ALL RIGHT WE'RE LEAVING THE ROSI'S HOUSE IN WHAT THEY WALL A WAGONET.

GOODBYE.

ENJOY IT.

WE'RE GOING INTO DOWNTOWN LOSS OLIVOS IN THIS HISTORIC VEHICLE.

THIS IS GREAT.

>> THIS IS A NICE THING.

LISTEN TO THE HORSE'S HOOFS.

>> Huell: YOU WERE TELLING US THIS IS WHAT THEY CALL A WAGONET.

>> YES, IT'S A LARGER VERSION OF A LARGE COACH.

IF YOU WENT TO SANTA BARBARA FROM UP NORTH SOMEPLACE, YOU TOOK A STAGECOACH AND FROM THAT POINT YOU GOT INTO SANTA BARBARA AND IF YOU NEEDED TO GO TO THE ANOTHER POINT, YOU TOOK THE WAGONET.

THESE WERE ALSO CALLED STAGE WAGONS.

THE NAME STAGE COMES FROM THE FACT THAT YOU'RE PLACE THAT YOU STOPPED AND WHAT NOT WAS CALLED THE STAGING AREA.

IT WAS NOT CALLED A BUS STOP OR ANYTHING.

SO THESE WERE KNOWN AS STAGE WAGON.

THE BIG COACHES WHICH WERE FOR COMFORTABLE WERE CALLED STAGE COACHES.

>> Huell: THIS IS FASCINATING ENOUGH.

>> BUT ANYWAY, THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE WAS BUILT IN 1901 AND USED AS A SCHOOL BUS.

>> Huell: WHAT'S IT DOING IN CALIFORNIA.

>> IT MADE ITS WAY HERE AND IS STAYING.

>> Huell: THIS IS GREAT.

SO THIS WOULD BE EQUIVALENT TO TAKING A PLANE.

I'M SITTING WITH THE MAYOR OF SANTA BARBARA.

HAD YOU EVER BEEN ON THIS.

>> NO.

>> Huell: IT REALLY POINTS UP HOW FULL OF HISTORY SANTA BARBARA COUNTY REALLY IS.

>> YES, IT'S A SPECIAL DAY OF HISTORY.

REALLY FUN.

SO LET'S JUST BE QUIET AND PUT THE MICROPHONE AND LISTEN TO THE SOUNDS OF THE CLIP CLOP OF THE HORSE GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY.

>> Huell: OUR LAST STOP, WE'RE RIGHT HERE ON THE SIDE OF HIGHWAY 154 IN LOSS OLIVOS AND WE'RE STANDING IN FRONT OF MADY'S TAVERN.

RON VINCENT, YOU ARE PROPRIETOR.

>> YES.

>> Huell: OF MATY'S TAVERN.

LET'S WALK OVER AND TAKE A LOOK WHILE YOU TELL US THE HISTORY OF THIS PLACE.

THIS WAS VERY SIGNIFICANT.

>> THIS IS WHERE THE OVERNIGHT STAGECOACH STAYED.

YOU WOULD COME ONTO HERE AND YOU CAN STAY OVERNIGHT AND HAVE DINNER HERE.

YOU CAN STAY HERE OR TAKE A TRAIN.

>> Huell: NOW, THIS IS THIS WAS NOT JUST A TAVERN THIS WAS A HOTEL.

THIS IS WHERE PEOPLE STAYED.

WAS IT THEIR ONLY BUSINESS PEOPLE COMING AND GOING ON THE STAGE.

THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE OUT HERE.

>> THAT'S RIGHT.

THERE WAS JUST SIX PEOPLE AND COWS OUT HERE.

>> Huell: NOW IS THIS THE ORIGINAL TAVERN?

>> YES, THIS IS IT.

>> Huell: IT'S GOT TO BE ON OFFICIAL LANDMARK.

>> IT CAN BE.

>> Huell: LET'S WALK IN AND SEE.

THIS LOOKS VERY ORIGINAL HERE.

>> THOSE ARE THE ORIGINAL FRONT DOORS.

>> Huell: REALLY?

>> YES, FROM 1906.

>> Huell: AND I UNDERSTAND WELL, THERE IS THE SIGN.

THIS IS PATRICIA'S FAMOUS SIGN.

THIS IS WHERE PEOPLE WOULD COME AND BUY THEY'RE TICKETS.

>> THEY WOULD COME INTO THIS ROOM CALLED THE STAGECOACH OFFICE AND YOU CAN BUY YOUR TICKETS.

AND THIS IS THE FIRST BARROOM.

THE STORY OF THE BARROOM IS A WHOLE STORY IN ITSELF.

MRS. MADY WHOSE PICTURE YOU CAN SEE INSIDE, WOULD NOT ALLOW DRINKING.

>> Huell: LOOK AT THIS, THIS IS AN AMAZING FEEL OUT HERE.

>> THIS IS A GOOD 90 YEARS OLD.

>> Huell: BOY, PATRICIA THIS IS GREAT.

>> YOU LIKE THIS PLACE?

>>.

>> Huell: , THIS IS THIS IS A GOOD ONE.

THIS IS STOP NUMBER 53.

OKAY.

WE'RE GOING INSIDE TO LOOK INSIDE.

THIS IS THE ORIGINAL GLASS RIGHT HERE.

COME ON IN.

OH BOY.

NOW THIS--I WAS GOING TO SAY IT SMELLS OLD, BUT I DIDN'T MEAN IT THAT WAY.

BUT IT'S GOT THAT SMELL TO IT.

>> ALL THOSE YEARS OF WOOD BURNING PLACE.

>> Huell: TELL US WHAT WOULD HAPPEN WHEN THE STAGE WOULD PULL IN.

>> YOU WOULD GUY YOUR TICKETS, AND COME IN HERE AND CHECK IN.

YOU WOULD FIND--.

>> Huell: OH LOOK THESE ARE THE ORIGINAL REGISTERS OH MY GOSH.

>> YOU COULD BE GIVEN A ROOM AND SERVED DINNER.

>> Huell: WHERE WOULD YOU BE SERVED DINNER?

>> THIS WAS UNCOMFORTABLE SEATING AND CHAIRS.

AND THE MAIN DINING ROOM WAS HERE.

>> Huell: OH THIS IS GREAT.

>> THIS WAS THE ORIGINAL DINING ROOM JUST LIKE THIS.

>> Huell: HOW THIS WAS KIND OF ELEGANT FOR ITS TIME.

>> VERY MUCH SO.

THIS IS A NICE PLACE TO BE, STILL IS.

>> Huell: IT WOULD SEAT HOW MANY PEOPLE?

>> 30 OR 35.

>> Huell: AND WHAT KIND OF MEALS WOULD HAVE BEEN SERVED?

>> THAT'S INTERESTING, WE KNOW THAT BACK IN THE 20s THEY COOKED WHATEVER THEY HAD.

FOR EXAMPLE, TONIGHT WE'RE HAVING FISH OR MEAT AND THEY WOULD ALL HAVE THE SAME THING.

>> Huell: NOW THIS OPERATED FROM 1886--COME ON THROUGH HERE PATRICIA.

PEOPLE LOVING THESE GREAT OLD DOORS.

1886 THE LAST STAGE RAN IN 1901 AND THEN A LOCAL STAGE RAN THROUGH HERE UNTIL 1912.

>> YES,--.

>> Huell: SO THIS HAD TO BE ONE OF THE LAST STAGE COACHES IN CALIFORNIA.

>> YES CERTAINLY.

>> >> Huell: TELL US QUICKLY THE BAR STORY.

>> THIS IS NATY HERE OVER THE FIREPLACE.

>> Huell: SHE'S THE LADY IN THAT CHRISTIAN--.

>> DIDN'T LIKE DRINKING, SO SHE SAID THE BAR HAS TO GO.

FEET FELIX SAID WE HAVE TO HAVE A BAR.

>> Huell: SO THIS WAS THE TWHOEL BUILDING HERE.

>> AND THERE WAS A LONG GAP, AND THAT OPERATED FOR THREE OR FOUR YEARS.

AND SHE SAID SHE DIDN'T WANT ANY DRINKING SO THEY SHUT IT DOWN.

AND UP UNTIL 1962 THEY DIDN'T HAVE A LIQUOR LICENSE.

PEOPLE WOULD STILL DRINK.

I'VE MET PEOPLE THAT SAID SHE WOULD WALK THROUGH THE ROOM AND SHE WOULD LEAVE AND THEY WOULD PUT THE LIQUOR BACK ON THE TABLE.

>> Huell: I HOPE HER SPIRIT IS STILL NOT CIRCULATING BECAUSE IF SHE IS, SHE'S MAD THAT THERE IS A BAR IN HERE.

LET'S WALK IN THE BAR JUST TO GET A SENSE OF THE PLACE.

LOOK AT THIS?

PEOPLE JUST SIGNATURE AROUND HERE KIND OF LIKE THEY WOULD HAVE DONE--YOU LOOK LIKE YOU JUST GOT OFF THE STAGE AND YOU'RE HAVING A BEER.

>> RELATIVELY SPEAKING, YES.

>> Huell: LOOKS VERY HISTORIC.

THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A PASSENGER.

>> HE'S BEEN HERE FOR 40 YEARS.

HAS NOT MOVED A MUSCLE.

>> Huell: AND THIS COULD HAVE BEEN YOUR STAGE PASSENGERS COMING IN.

YOU JUST GOTTEN OFF THE STAGE.

>> WELL, THE END OF THE BEAUTIFUL DAY RIGHT WITH STAGECOACH DRIVER WOULD DO.

>> Huell: OH YOU'RE THE DRIVER NOW.

>> WELL, I CAN NOW.

>> Huell: JUST KIND OF RELAXING.

>> WETTING THE WHISTLE A BIT.

>> Huell: EVERYBODY IS GETTING INTO THE SPIRIT OF WHAT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE.

DO YOU EVER WHAT IT MUST HAVE FELT LIKE?

>> I THINK IT FELT LIKE IT FEELS TODAY.

PEOPLE STILL DO THE SAME THING.

YOU'RE STILL COMING IN HERE FOR REFRESHMENT AND RELAXATION.

HISTORY GOES ON HERE.

>> Huell: ALL RIGHT.

WE'RE IN FRONT OF MATY'S TAVERN.

I IMAGINED TO PULL EVERYBODY OUT OF THE BAR FOR JUST A MINUTE.

FES PARKER HAS INVITED EVERYBODY FOR A DINNER.

DO DO YOU KNOW WHAT KIND OF DAY WE'VE HAD.

>> A HOPE A GOOD ONE.

>> Huell: WE'VE BEEN TO ALL 91 STAGECOACH STOPS.

SO YOU'VE GOT A HUNGRY AND TIRED CROWD.

>> I HOPE YOU'LL BE HAPPY.

>> Huell: EVERYBODY LET'S THANK PATRICIA AND--HAVE PUT THIS AWARENESS OF HISTORY FOR EVERYBODY HERE.

REMINDING THEM THAT FROM 18 61 TO 1901, THERE WAS A STAGECOACH RUNNING HERE.

>> YES, 40 LONG YEARS.

>> Huell: 40 LONG YEARS, JUST LIKE THIS HAS BEEN A 40-HOUR DAY.

BUT IT'S BEEN A WONDERFUL DAY.

WE'RE ENDING HERE IN FRONT OF THE HISTORIC MATY'S TAVERN.

LET'S GET CLOSE AND SAY GOODBYE TO EVERYBODY.

IT'S BEEN A WONDERFUL WONDERFUL DAY.

HERE IN SANTA BARBARA COUNTY.

GOODBYE EVERYBODY.

NOW WHERE ARE THE HORSES AND THE STAGE?

>> THEY'VE ALREADY GONE.
