A Long Humboldt Summer

12

You’re just in time for Humboldt summer, that late season where the sun warms our hills and beaches into October. Coastal temperatures don’t sizzle like they do inland but you should put on sunblock nonetheless — telling people back home you got a sunburn in famously foggy Humboldt will get you no sympathy. As for what to do while you’re here, the Insider is full of ideas.

In this issue’s Perfect Trips, we invite you to make the most of the weather: Dip your toes in gentle swimming holes, paddle kayaks to remote camps, take in some outdoor art and toast your good company on a sunset cocktail cruise aboard a historic vessel. If you’re looking for some river time, the little city of Rio Dell is worth a look. Mayor Debra Garnes fell in love with the place and reading our profile of this “city girl” who’s gone all-in on simple, small-town life might inspire you to pack up the car for a quick trip.

If you’re up for rougher water, Willow Creek is where it’s at. We’ve got the lowdown on river rafting tours as well as a few pro tips in our Adventure column. Read it before you put your paddle in the water and don’t forget that sunblock.

Back in Arcata, mellow sounds are wafting up from old-school jazz lounge The Basement, where

you can lean back on a couch with a French 75 cocktail while listening to some Ella Fitzgerald covers. And in Eureka, vintage revival North of Fourth offers similarly swanky drinks with a little more vitamin D out back, where the patio is bursting with flowers.

Don’t worry, we won’t let you go hungry. We’ll take you to newcomer Delish on 5th to explore its vast selection of upscale deli offerings, by the pound from the case or in the form of photo-worthy sandwiches and bakery treats. There’s also Fregoso’s Comida Mexicana, with its fresh takes on traditional dishes — try the Margarita with Tajin or the chile relleno molcajete and let them open your mind to the possibilities.

Keep the summer going with some cocktail ware to take back with you. Peruse our spread of glasses, shakers and fanciful glass straws and see what strikes your fancy. You’ve got time to use them — summer’s not close to finished in Humboldt.

Cheers.

DON’T MISS IT:

arm to indicate the white bluffs and their stark contrast to all the greenery around us and across the Eel River. The water below glitters jade green at a distance but is clear enough to see the bottom. The current is slow now, compared to its high, dangerous rush in winter, but still moving enough to prevent the algae blooms that keep dog owners away other times of the year. It feels remote here, though we only drove two minutes off the main drag to get here.

Despite the cloudless day, we’re the only ones in sight until a truck rolls onto the rocky river bar with a kayak. The driver steps out and makes quick work of untying the craft and hoisting it a few yards to the river’s edge.

“Look at that. He’s already putting in the water,” Garnes says with a smile and a hand on her hip. She wonders aloud if today would be a good day to come back with an innertube and float away the afternoon.

In 2014, Garnes won a seat on the Rio Dell City Council and this year her fellow council members voted her the tiny city’s first African American mayor. It’s an un-salaried position but one Garnes loves like she loves this town that’s small enough to drive through before the song on the radio finishes.

Ask Garnes, born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, what brought her to Rio Dell and she’ll say, “The temperature,” and laugh. “Between here and Trinidad we have the best weather. … We have early morning fog and then sunshine.”

She’s tried other climates. After leaving Northern Michigan University in the wake of her father’s death and joining the U.S. Navy, Garnes was stationed in Hawaii for four years, as a gunner’s mate, maintaining weapons — skills she says she hasn’t made use of since. She moved on to Sacramento, supervising removal of hazardous materials like lead and asbestos from the Rancho Seco nuclear power plant.

Then, at 34, she found a lump in her breast and underwent a mastectomy and reconstructive surgery, the latter taking the greater toll on her overall health and leading her to retire early.

It was around the time of her diagnosis that she met her wife, Elizabeth Warren (no, not that one). The two quickly began spending time every day, getting through the stress of diagnosis and treatment together. “We both want to be happy people,” says Garnes, who appreciates their shared positivity. “We want to keep it light and keep it uplifting.” And after 25 years together, 11 of them married, they’re still that couple — grinning and sitting side by side at restaurant tables.

A radical change from Sacramento, they spent a year off the grid — relying on generators and water from a spring — in Zenia, a remote part of Trinity County, while looking for the home they eventually found in Rio Dell. It was a challenge for self-proclaimed “city girl” Garnes. “I was proud of myself,” she says, adding she was also pleasantly surprised at the acceptance she and Warren found there. “You’d think you drop an interracial lesbian couple in this place in the mountains,” she trails off laughing. Rio Dell showed her the same warm welcome as both a resident and a mayor. “There was a time, apparently, when I would not have been welcome here but I

A fine day in Rio Dell:

Have you had breakfast? Doesn’t matter. Stop at Wildwood Waffles (770 Wildwood Ave.) for a made-to-order waffle stuffed with cream cheese and local jam. Head down Wildwood Avenue almost to the end of town and turn left onto Edwards Drive, bearing right where the pavement gives way to bumpy dirt road, and find yourself right on the river bar. Soak up the sun and splash in the river to your heart’s content. (Note: Rivers in Humboldt can run cold and currents can be surprisingly strong.

Take care, especially with young swimmers.)

There are a few choice spots along the river for fossil hunting, so keep a keen eye out. When it’s time for a late lunch, head back up to town for old-fashioned burgers and milkshakes on the patio at DJ’s Burger Bar (509 Wildwood Ave). Not ready to leave? Get in a little more river time and pop into the Patron for a dinner of street tacos. Nobody’s going to rush you.

“I give mad props to the citizens of Rio Dell.”

have not had a single incident. I give mad props to the citizens of Rio Dell.”

Small as it is, Rio Dell, population 3,400, has seen big changes. Starting in the late 1800s through the early 1900s, the town formerly known as Wildwood was dominated by rough and tumble Pacific Lumber Co. workers from Scotia, the company town just across the bridge. The now quiet main drag brimmed with bars and brothels, earning the “wild” in the old name that remains on Wildwood Avenue. It was a need for law enforcement that pushed Rio Dell toward incorporation in 1965, though you’d hardly guess it now. Standing on the street in the morning, birdsong is often louder than traffic.

The lumber company is long gone and Rio Dell is looking for other economic opportunities. A trio of operations are setting up in a cannabis-friendly business park just outside the city proper and three dispensaries are coming to town. Still, it’s more than a stretch to imagine Rio Dell losing its rural, small-town character.

That suits Garnes, who’s clearly abandoned her city ways. “When I go to the city, I’m offended by the noise, I’m offended by the traffic. …

I just really like the quiet.” Nor can she imagine leaving or changing the natural beauty here. Her home, she says, “has an absolutely clear view of the bluffs. … I’ve watched a lunar eclipse, the entire thing, from my front window.” It’s her hope that more people will visit Rio Dell and discover the things that charm those who live there, like the quiet, the river access and the chance to slow down.

Rio Dell Mayor Debra Garnes, a Detroit native, loves the quiet life she’s found along the Eel River.

RAFTING THE TRINITY A river with personality

By Thomas Oliver Photographs by Michael Kahan

Recreational whitewater rafting likely began in the 1940s on Wyoming’s Snake River, when some intrepid argonauts saw a wooden boat, a gnarled mash of rocks and roiling, swift water, and thought, “That looks fun!” Thirty years later in 1972, it became an Olympic sport at the fateful Munich Games. Now, though the technology has improved — rubber rafts, helmets, lifejackets — the aim has not: It’s still about harnessing nature’s awesome power in pursuit of a lark.

The Trinity River is one of the few rivers in California you can raft yearround, as are the American and Klamath rivers. Unlike the Eel, whose algal blooms make a hazard for people and dogs alike, or the California Salmon, where appropriate flow exists only in

the early summer, the Trinity runs clear enough and high enough that, be it December or June, you can hop in an inflatable raft to try your luck. “[No river] really compares to the Trinity in terms of variety and access to all ages,” said Trinity River Rafting’s co-owner Dana Steinhauser. Whether you’re looking for a lazy float, death-defying, Class V whitewater or something in between, the Trinity has what you need.

River rapids are graded by “class.” The spectrum starts at the low end with the flat, fast moving water of a Class I rapid, and goes up to Class VI, which is considered “extreme and explorato-

”Each river has its own personality. The Trinity is a beautiful, healthy river.“

ry,” and generally a no-go even for the most experienced of rafters. The typical simile for a Class VI rapid is that it’s like going down Niagra Falls in a barrel.

The Trinity is primarily comprised of Class II and III rapids.

Steinhauser and her husband, David, have been running Trinity River Rafting since 1988. It is one of two companies along the river that offer commercial trips down the infamous Burnt Ranch section of the river. A 10.5-mile, 18-rapid-long venture at the bottom of a 700-foot canyon that offers some of the most technical and challenging stretches of river in the state.

What’s kept Steinhauser and her husband at the banks of the Trinity so long is its character. “Rapids are rapids wherever you are,” said Steinhauser, “but each river has its own personality. The Trinity is a beautiful, healthy river. It’s remote — we see eagles every day we raft. It’s an amazing river environment.”

Brianna Carreira, owner of Bigfoot Rafting, agrees. “The Trinity was my first river — I’m a spoiled, spoiled girl,” she laughed. “My favorite part is it’s not so dangerous to where you have to be scared all the time. Whenever you do something risky, there’s the ‘fun-to-fear ratio’ and this one’s pretty even.”

That said, a river is not a plaything. No matter how “easy” the course may seem, “You don’t want to think you can buy your way down the river,” said Steinhauser. Rafting requires respect and a regard for risk. During a high-flow year, like 2019, the current is swift and cold from snow melt; when the water is down, there are more rocks upon which to smash yourself.

Perfect Summer Trips

By Richard Stenger

The endless summer in Humboldt lasts well into autumn, when seasonal winds and currents bring the driest air and warmest ocean temperatures. Take advantage of this cyclical quirk, whether swimming on the Eel River, tide pooling at Patrick’s Point or paddling with the otters in Stone Lagoon. For a more civilized outside experience, take a mural walk in Old Town, root for a wooden bat league baseball team, mutton bust at a rodeo or cocktail cruise on Humboldt Bay. For repast, pop over to dine on one of our sunny restaurant patios. To round out the day, get board in Humboldt’s liveliest skate park or tie one on with aerial silk acrobats. →

Whether coastal fog or inland heat, here’s how to beat either summer extreme as Humboldtians have for decades. Grab your trunks, kids and sandwiches, and wind down along the Avenue of the Giants to the California Federation of Women’s Clubs Grove. Besides a four-faced outdoor fireplace, picnic table slabs the length of a decent RV and a giant redwood carcass that resembles a beached blue whale, the grove sports a short trail to one of the gentlest, most swimmable sandy bends on the scenic Eel River.

Before a dip, check local river conditions.

(The Eel can be too swift in spring or too low in autumn.)

Motor to Patrick’s Point State Park, a lushly forested coastal headland 30 miles north of Eureka, and you can wake to birdsong at one of three spacious bluff top campgrounds under the trees, sans bugs, and within short walks to several beaches and coves.

Foodies Smokin’ Barrels Burgers and BBQ knows how to drum up business. The Fortuna comfort food spot smokes its meats in a 30-gallon barrel, creating the perfect “kiss of smoke” that brings Humboldtians and non-Humboldtians back for more. Popular picks include the pulled pork nuggets and Husky Burger (pulled pork with tritrip and bacon). For a yummy twist, try the spicy Korean chicken sandwich, pork rind basket, blue cheese tri-tip salad or sweet potato fries. Or do it up daily style: smoked tri-tip dinners on Friday and Saturday, barbecue chicken on Wednesday, rib dinner on Thursday and meatloaf on Sundays and Tuesdays. Co-owner Dave Kadivar, formerly of popular Eureka sports bar Steve & Dave’s, is focusing on lunch and dinner with his newish (one-year this summer) endeavor, but intends to keep sports TV in the mix for Fortuna fans.

EXHIBITIONS AT THE MORRIS GRAVES MUSEUM OF ART artists. Sculpture, especially figure sculpture, is my most compelling means of artistic expression. Conditions of the human predicament are easily conveyed using the human figure. My work can show beauty, grace, movement, struggle or humor, all aspects of the human condition. I use sculpture to illustrate particular moments of life. The time that I spend creating these images is intense, stimulating, thought provoking, frustrating, and ultimately, rewarding.

This collection depicts people dancing as if they are free in the moment. I enjoy

Junque Arte Exhibition and Competition: 25 Years!

October 5th to November 25th Designed to celebrate artistic creativity on the North Coast, and heighten the awareness of renewable resources in the art making process, each artwork in this juried exhibition is made from 100% recycled materials…reclaimed, reused, recovered, secondhand, salvaged, anything un-new! This year's juror is Dan McCauley from Dan's Custom Metals.

Lida Penkova: Dreams of Far Away Pl aces

Lida Penkova: Dreams of Far Away Places July 20th to September 1st “My show will present a selection of some of my favorite black & white and hand colored linocuts, canvases and painted driftwood sculptures created in the last 8+ years. My art works are memories of different cultures, their customs, ceremonies, myths, as well as honoring their artists and artisans. I lived and traveled in some of them, have studied and admired others. My inspiration comes from self-taught artists of aboriginal Australia, Mexican and Nepalese villages, Inuit communities, from Irish and Indian festivals, etc. They all tell stories reflecting their everyday life, religious beliefs and folk celebrations. Last, but not least, Humboldt County, my home of the last 11 years, has inspired my later pieces.”

watching dancers: the focused concentration of the professional, the practiced grace of a couple moving seamlessly together, and the wildly free movement of the street dancer. My dancers are children and adults, moving to their own rhythm, as each of us must do in life.

I’m drawing these figures in three dimensions using steel rods, many of which were salvaged from old factory uses. For this project I use a primarily constructionist process, in that I begin with nothing and bring the materials into alignment and fix them in place to create the image. The forms of the figures are created by the positive surfaces and negative spaces, and I aim to animate the steel in this fashion. These pieces combine representational imagery with abstract expression.”

Likewise, the rows of specialty meats on the other side that run from merguez sausages, prosciutto di Parma and French hams to haunt your charcuterie board dreams. “I’m trying to choose things you can’t find everywhere,” says owner Christine Silver.

Many of these come from small farm producers, with an eye on traditional sustainable methods.

The small portions are partly inspired by a trip to France, where Silver came to appreciate daily shopping and a break from the habit of American bulk buying. “You’re eating more fresh food.

And that’s how I like to eat,” she says. Some of the meats and cheeses are available by the quarter pound, like the buttery farmers cheese and

previous page: Tacos with battered rock fish. below: Chile relleno with house beans and rice.

gredients accompany your taco of choice, and the molten molcajete — a bubbling concoction of meats, cheese and sauce — is mandatory, as is an agua fresca or a happy hour margarita, of course. But don’t be fooled, this ain’t your favorite taco spot or your abuela’s house.

Formerly Savory Grill and Café, it reopened as Fregoso’s this year. With a rotating menu based around seasonality, along with influences from his longtime experience working in both American and Mediterranean restaurants, head chef David Velasco sought to bring a different take on Mexican food in Humboldt County. As a smaller operation, most everything is made to order. Velasco buys many of his ingredients and produce locally, including whole pigs and salmon he uses for special plates. On occasion, he’ll treat customers to less common specialties from Mexico, like verdolagas (purslane), which he’ll pair with salsa verde ribs.

Do yourself a favor and start with house made aguas frescas ($3.50). The quintessential drink is horchata, a sweet rice milk spiced with soft Mexican cinnamon. If you’re feeling like something tangy, try the agua de tamarindo, made from tamarind pulp, or sip the agua de jamaica, a sweet tea made from steeped hibiscus flowers. Drop in between 3 and 6 p.m. for happy hour and have a simple strawberry margarita rimmed with chile-lime tajin.

It’s traditional Mexican knowledge that the best way to judge a cook is by comida sencilla or “simple food.” In the case of Fregoso’s, you won’t be disappointed by the supporting cast of rice and beans that accompany most of the house specials or separately with a side of warm tortillas. Non-traditional arborio rice lends a chewy bite paired with the crunch of chile peppers in the tomato mix ($4). Your choice of black or pinto beans ($3) are perfectly soft and

creamy, with just the right amount of punch from black pepper.

Along with the wide street windows that bounce warm sunlight off the lemon-colored walls, the warm spices in the air will convince you to try something a little more complex.

Go for the chile relleno ($14). The charred poblano chile is stuffed with cheese, battered in whipped egg whites and fried before it’s presented to you in all its gooey glory. Served with sour cream, queso fresco and guacamole, the addition of tangy pico de gallo and sliced radish provides a nice balance.

At brunch, have a cup of local coffee ($2) and order a plate of the house special huevos rancheros ($12). It’s a no-fuss-or-frills breakfast of two fried tortillas layered with pinto beans, meaty chorizo and eggs as you like. Top them off with salsa, queso fresco, sour cream and sliced avocado, if you feel the need to share it on social media. Of course, you can order it any time of day.

For those of you feeling famished after a surfing trip to Camel Rock, or just craving damn good fish tacos ($13), you’re in luck. Beer batter forms an airy crust to flaky rock fish on corn tortillas and topped with shredded red cabbage, pico de gallo and a show-stopping — yes, it is spicy — chipotle aioli. You just might convince yourself that you’re up for the challenge of a second order.

The molcajete will make you the envy of your table ($26). A glance at the menu will tell you that it consists of meats and other goodies, but this you must see to believe. It’s showcased in a concerningly-hot molcajete — a traditional Mesoamerican mortar and pestle — that you’d do well to avoid touching, as chef David lets them heat in an oven all day. Salsa roja bubbles and dances underneath artfully placed carne asada, grilled chicken, cactus and shrimp. Keep a sharp eye — the chorizo is hidden beneath the calamity and the finishing touches of wedges of queso fresco, sliced avocado and fresh radishes. Bring a friend, or two.

If you have a sweet tooth, finish up with a simple seasonal dessert, like the creamy, custard-soaked tres leche cake topped off with whipped cream and a bright cherry ($6). Whether you order something familiar or adventurous, it's bound to be a slice of something new.

food&drink Entering Jacoby’s Storehouse, on the southwest corner of the Arcata Plaza, already feels like going back in time. It’s not hard to imagine this hub of the town filled with dry goods, a pier extending south all the way into Humboldt Bay, where supplies from San Francisco were unloaded.

The Storehouse’s latest addition, a belowground jazz lounge called The Basement, harkens back to a different era, when the licks were hot and the drinks were cold. Descend the staircase in an unmarked alcove from the sidewalk and — depending on whether the band is playing Louis, Miles or Django that particular night — you’ll be transported to prohibition-era Chicago, jazz-age New York or the caveaus of Paris.

The intimate, dimly lit space is comfortably appointed with well-placed couches and lounge chairs in the narrow but deep pit that extends from the stage. A half level above are tables and a long wooden bar.

The Basement On a quiet Thursday night, a guitar duo set up on stage, 780 Seventh St., Arcata, thebasementarcata.com backlit by an exposed brick (707) 845-2309 wall, while a number of regulars Thur.-Fri. 5-11 PM, Sat. 6-11 PM mingled at the bar. The cocktail menu is short but thoughtful, with classics like the French 75 with lemon, gin and Champagne, and enjoyable newer, inventive drinks, like the Lazy Shinazy, which combines rye and Earl Grey syrup. Nearly all are made with local spirits and the bar is heavily stocked with other favorites. Daily wine specials and beers on tap are available, too.

Bar bites in the form of small plates are a welcome addition — a dish of olives, charcuterie and dessert will help you last to the end of the show.

And you’ll want to stay for the show. The Basement presents itself as a jazz club and it feels both accommodating and a little bit speakeasy-naughty. I’ll admit to being a novice when it comes to the world’s famous jazz houses but this one feels like it’s what the space (formerly an Italian restaurant) was always meant to be. Even the warm acoustics seem to be by design rather than happenstance, allowing the music to expand in the space.

The Basement hosts live music Thursday through Saturday, but it’s worth checking the calendar for upcoming local favorites and touring bands.

There’s a murmur across the room as the warm guitar sounds begin to fill the space. The players take turns soloing on romantic jazz standards, pausing between songs to engage with a growing audience as you soak in the ambience of a bygone era. →

SUMMER/fall 2019

food&drink

The city of Eureka always has a foot in the past.

It’s not a long history, but it’s full, at turns rich and sour, ever present if you look closely enough.

You won’t have to look hard in one of its newest bars, North of Fourth. That’s because, like Eureka’s rows of Victorian homes juxtaposed against cannabis retailers, it embraces both new and old, for the better.

North of Fourth sits on an unassuming corner of Third Street, on the fringe of Old Town’s hip business district. Its vintage facade is spruced up in red and gold but without overshadowing its dive-favorite neighbor, the Shanty.

Inside, you feel consciously present and pleasantly transNorth of Fourth ported. Owners Erica and 207 Third St., Eureka Chuck Carlson have an eye for (707) 798-6303 space. The wood bar practically Wed.-Thur. 4 PM-midnight, glows, the space is comfortFri.-Sat. 4 PM-2 aM, able, airy and much larger than Sun. noon-6 PM, the entrance suggests. On an closed Mon.-Tue. unusually warm Eureka afternoon, it offers respite from the muggy heat. A large copper woodstove suggests it’s a cozy winter space, as well.

There’s a nice array of cider and beer on six taps, along with wine and shelves stocked with nice spirits, though the cocktails are the star of the show. A handwritten menu offers the day’s specials, which typically range from $10 to $12.

A rhubarb Collins lays a gentle fizz on the tongue, followed by a rhubarb tartness that cuts through the simple syrup. And the rhubarb, our bartender boasts, is grown on site by Erica, a “master gardener.”

The garden benefits other cocktails, too: the Good Thyme is powerfully herby and fresh, and the Smoky Derby — a rye drink with a peaty scotch float — comes with a show. The server disappears outdoors for a moment, returning with a lighter and a sprig of fresh-picked rosemary that she deftly twists over the flame until it smokes, pops and fizzles when she places it delicately on the rim.

The Italia is a taste of the Riviera in a coupe glass. The sunset-colored concoction — conjured with “blood orange magic” — is sorbet-like in its decadence, with a welcome edge of citrus tang and boozy warmth.

Sunny afternoons are a treat in Eureka, and a perfect occasion to enjoy North of Fourth’s outdoor patio. Erica’s green thumb is on full display here — a riot of flowers, herbs, shrubs and young humboldtinsider.com

trees decorate the sunny oasis. Locals may recognize the faded, sky-blue tiles of the bar’s previous incarnation, the Schooner, though given its reputation they may deny having ever been inside.

North of Fourth cleverly straddles the building’s past and present. History books indicate the building has been a bar for more than a century and the name references an unsavory moment in the city’s history. According to local historians, Italians and Germans, considered threats to port infrastructure

during World War I, were arrested for setting foot “north of Fourth.”

If its walls could talk, we might not want to hear what they have to say. But the lively conversations at the bar — between a retiree, a server, a truck driver, a writer and a bartender — prove the present has plenty to offer.

Just north of Trinidad, Patrick’s Point State Park calls, with stunning vistas, traditional Yurok structures and the appropriately named Agate Beach.

Farther up, Orick is the hub for plenty of trails and camping possibilities. Start at the Kuchel Visitor Center, staffed by the National Park Service, and pick your Redwood National Park adventure, whether it’s the epic Tall Trees Grove, the dreamy Ladybird Johnson Grove, the Skunk Cabbage Trail or the must-see wonder of Fern Canyon.

In the charming town of Trinidad, Humboldt County’s fishing past lives on.

Every day, the boats that dot the small harbor’s moorings scour the sea among dramatic, rocky outcroppings. For a look back, tour the Trinidad Museum, then stop at the smaller Memorial Lighthouse and take in the view and the sea air.

Trinidad Art Night fills the little town with music, food and local artwork every first Friday of the month, and the annual Fish Festival and Blackberry Festival bring in folks from all over.

Humboldt residents socked in by summer fog know that they can find warm refuge in Blue Lake, a picturesque town whose motto is “sunshine and sea air.” On the shores of the Mad River, locals enjoy fishing, sunbathing and swimming in the summer, and fun hikes and bike trails anytime. In addition to fun outdoor adventures, Blue Lake is a hub for music and the arts. The Dell’Arte International School of Physical Theatre imports students from around the world, producing shows throughout the year, including the annual five-week Mad River Festival. You can also sing along at Humboldt Folklife Festival in July, a weeklong celebration with live music, dancing and workshops. With the little ones? Check out photos and artifacts from Blue Lake’s pioneer, indigenous, logging and railroad histories at the Blue Lake Museum or visit Perigot Park, where you can play baseball or soak up picturesque views.

McKinleyville The sign says horses have the right of way, which should give you an idea of McKinleyville’s vibe. Some of its biggest attractions are outdoors. Play with the kids in Hiller Park and hike or bike the paved Hammond Trail. Ditch your shoes and spend the day at Clam Beach (yup, there are clams out there for the digging) kayaking, paddleboarding or just relaxing among the dunes. There’s a course if you’re itching for a round of golf, and there’s even a sweet, little waterfall tucked along the road into town. Already visited the world’s biggest ball of string?

Swing by the world’s tallest totem pole.

And on McKinleyville Arts Night, the third Friday of each month, you can tool around town and see what local artists, artisans and musicians young and old are up creating — maybe even take a piece home.

Home to Humboldt State University, Arcata is a magnet for arts, culture, entertainment and education. Hike the Arcata Community Forest or play among the big trees in Redwood Park. Cruise the plaza for Saturday's farmers market or a festival. Go from locavore to exotic in the restaurants and cafés. At night, the bars, theaters and restaurants are stages for live music for every taste — from big name performers to hometown legends. The music spills into the streets and shops and restaurants turn into galleries during Arts Arcata!, the second Friday of every month.

Eureka This place is full of stories. Once a raucous lumber town and fishing village, early Eureka bustled with saloons and brothels, along with a hardy mix of rugged entrepreneurs looking to settle the North Coast. Jack London himself is said to have taken a swing in a barroom brawl in Old Town. Today, the boats still bring crab and salmon to the docks, and historic buildings at the edge of Humboldt Bay form a walkable enclave of places to browse, drink and dine. Slow down with a stroll along the waterfront trail or lean on the railing of the Old Town boardwalk and watch the boats go by. And don’t miss Arts! Alive, the first Saturday night of each month, when the streets fill up with folks touring the shops, restaurants and galleries for local art and live music.

There’s a reason Hollywood keeps coming to film in Ferndale. It’s an idyllic American small town that hasn’t lost its character. (You might recognize Main Street’s Victorian architecture from movies such as The Majestic and Outbreak.) Ferndale’s downtown offers plenty to explore, including artist galleries, old-fashioned shops, classic restaurants and the Ferndale Museum.

Grab a coffee and window shop the vintage storefronts and take photos of the Gingerbread Mansion, or put on your hiking shoes and take in the view from the bluffs in Russ Park or Centerville Beach. Downtown or in the great outdoors, it’s a trip back in time.

Avenue of the Giants Jord

Even those of us who live among redwood giants look up now and then in amazement. Driving along the Avenue of the Giants shows you something new around every corner, something photos and video can’t quite do justice. We lean on words like “majesty” and “breathtaking,” but you kind of have to be there under the ancient, towering canopy to really get it. Take it slow and plan to make a few stops. (Are you not going to stop and see chainsaw sculptures? Please.)

From kitsch to fine woodwork, the shops along the Avenue are their own local attraction. South is Garberville, where you can hit the farmers market for an afternoon treat and maybe catch a show.

The nearby Mateel Community Center regularly brings in major musical acts and puts on some of Humboldt’s biggest festivals, such as Reggae on the River.

South of the Avenue of the Giants lies Garberville, where you can escape the coastal fog, enjoy warmer temperatures and hit the farmers market for a treat.

The little town has a surprisingly robust nightlife scene and a wild and beautiful landscape of hills and forest that you can sample in Tooby Memorial Park. Check the calendar and see what’s playing at the Mateel Community Center in neighboring Redway — the venue regularly brings in major musical acts and puts on some of Humboldt’s biggest festivals, including Reggae on the River.

TAKE A ROAD TRIP TO

CALIFORNIA’S MOST REMOTE BREWERY

Shelter Cove Aptly named the “lost coast,” Shelter Cove is nestled in a stretch of beach that offers a natural retreat tucked away in its own world. Accessible by sea and air, the town has one road in and one road out. Once there, enjoy fishing, hiking, boating, golf, excellent lodging and camping options. Settle in for winter storm watching, whale watching or a hike along a unique, 24-mile stretch of black sand beach. A natural coastline unfettered by highways and the normal coming and goings of humanity make Shelter Cove a singular American destination.
