Today, we hit the road to uncover a few of California's hidden gems. On the central coast in the town of Cambria, just a few miles from San Simeon, there's a place called Nitt Witt Ridge. Some locals call it "the poor man's Hearst Castle," but it?s every bit as fascinating. We stop by to discover this little-known California historical landmark, and the man who brought it to life.
