Dining in Ducor
Every road trip needs some fuel, and host Sasha Khokha is starting with a five course meal in a place you'd never expect fine dining, at the Dutch Frontier restaurant in Tulare County. It's not Dutch, and it's not quite the frontier. This place is really about the meat.

Mono Hot Springs
Mono Hot Springs is in the Southern Sierra Nevada, way up, over Kaiser Pass in the rugged wilderness. So it takes a little fortitude to get to its healing mineral waters. And, as Alice Daniel reports, a tolerance for gooey mud and snakes.

Bowling History in Highland Park
The 1920's are very much alive in a hip bowling alley in Los Angeles. Spectacularly restored with gleaming wood and soft leather, you'll find it in one of the hippest areas of the city: Highland Park. Peter Gilstrap has more.

Taking a Dip in the Inkwells
Our next stop is definitely off the beaten path, unless you know where to look. It's a place where the boys and girls of summer test their mettle by taking a big leap. The Inkwells are naturally-formed pools under a bridge next to Samuel P. Taylor State Park in Marin County. They're cold, clean, and deep - perfect for jumping into. Launch pads of different heights circle the water. Who is brave enough to make the big jump? Our intern Lacy Jane Roberts tests her courage.

The Church of 8 Wheels
In San Francisco, there's a church where the music is funky and skating is holy. Laura Klivans gets 'ROLL-igious' and takes us there.

The Secrets of Guadalupe Dunes
1923 was the heyday for silent movies, and audiences were thrilled when Cecil B. DeMille released his blockbuster film 'The Ten Commandments.' And though it was filmed nearly a century ago, its relics still capture people?s imaginations on the Central Coast. That's where Diane Bock takes us for our next stop on our hidden gems tour.
