California Crossroads

California Crossroads is an iconic brand name in television. A series of feature stories and special programs that ran for over a decade, California Crossroads is now back on the Internet as an exclusive feature of Hegedusworld. Having logged tens of thousands of miles from the Pacific Ocean to the Sierras, and from the Oregon state line to the border with Mexico, Mike Hegedus visited virtually every small town in between, capturing what has made California what it is today--one of the most unique places, not only in America, but in the world. It is a journey worth taking and one that is just a 'click' away. Join us as we travel the roads less traveled--the California Crossroads.

Baja Bud Parr

Life is full of characters and few people have met as many of them as Mike Hegedus. Bud Parr however is more than just a ‘character’. He is a historical figure in life and times of Baja California. A ‘man’s man’ he fished with Hemingway and John Wayne, and he helped build the first hotel in what today has become one of the great tourist destinations on the West Coast. Bud Parr–his story is one that no one can tell like it’s told on the ‘California Crossroads’.

Baja Doc Ross

He’s been a ‘pirate’ and an engineer. He has 9 children and he drinks more beers than that every day. He’s an Englishman in the desert and a man nobody every forgets once they meet him. Doc Ross is surely one of a kind–and if not, where’s the other one?
