Bay Area Backroads Doug McConnell

I'm pretty sure Doug inspired Grant Goodeve (previously on Eight is Enough) to do Northwest Backroads for KING 5 up here in the Pacific NW for many years. Doug also did work for The Discovery Channel.
May he RIP
 


Here is an episode of Bay Area Backroads on KRON 4 back in the 1990’s. RIP to a legend and he was one of many that paved the way for travel hosts on YouTube to find their version of the Backroads. Note NBC Bay Area mentions that he did the show Open Road for them before he left.

I agree that Doug McConnell is the Bay Area version of Huell Howser.
