 Take an alternate tour in Old
Town. by Royal63
I would recommend you drive to Eureka. You don't want to miss the gorgeous coast line, tall Redwoods and interesting stops along the way. If you drive from the south, be sure and drive up Highway 1 if you can. It is a very scenic, twisty alternate route along Highway 101. Leave a Comment

There has actually never been a 'working' railroad as long as I have lived in Humboldt county, but every year or so there are whispers of 'someone' starting the old wheels turning again..It would be great to have this kind of transportation between here and San Francisco. At this point,driving, walking or biking are your best options as flying can cost as much as a cross country flight. I am not holding my breath for train service to resume anytime soon.

Jeff and I went for a walk in the woods and found this downed Redwood Tree.The trunk of this average tree stands much higher than my 5'9" husband and we did not even try to count how many rings it had! This picture also shows how red the heart wood and bark are, which is how the got named "Redwoods". The average mature Coastal Redwood Tree is hundreds of years old, a Giant can live 2000 yrs. An average Redwood stands about 200 - 250 feet ,a Giant more than 350 feet tall. Redwoods average 8 feet to as giant as 20 feet in diameter and can weigh as much as 500 tons. It is pretty hard not to be humbled and awestruck when you stand by one of these Majestic Trees.
This website has a great picture showing people looking tiny next to Giants.......

The Victorian village of Ferndale is about 12 miles south of Eureka. It is located on the Northern coast of California and is surrounded by amazing nature, including beautiful rivers and Redwood forests. We had fun exploring the Victorian shops, galleries and a museum on Main Street.This quaint village was the location of the movie 'The Majestic' starring Jim Carrey. It is a good film that really captures the spirit of this quaint and friendly small town. Leave a Comment

The Avenue of the Giants is just over 30 minutes drive from Eureka .The "Giants" are Redwood trees, the tallest trees in the world. The Redwoods are also some of the oldest trees in the world, called "the abassadors from another time" by John Steinbeck .The Redwood forest is so beautiful and the misty air is filled with the scent of Cedar. Pictures really do not capture this awesome natural wonder. Leave a Comment

The Carson House is the jewel of the Eureka Historic District. Two famous architects from San Francisco, Samuel and Joseph Newsom built it for William Carson. One hundred highly skilled workers built it in two years. It uses extensively precious exotic woods, onyx, stained glass and plaster works,
It is considered as “one of the most written about, and photographed Victorian houses in California, and perhaps in the United States” . The Carson family owned it until the 50’s.
Photos 1 and 2 give a general view of the mansion.
Photo 3 shows it from the side. It is now home to the Ingomar private club
Photo 4 shows some detail of this extraordinary architecture that influenced further building in Eureka.
William Carson was a wealthy citizen of Eureka that built his wealth in the lumber industry. Leave a Comment

 Eric Hollenbeck next to the
printing press. by 807Wheaton
Eric Hollenbeck has developed a school, museum and park at his place in Eureka.
Eric does custom millwork on antique woodworking machinery which is used to restore Victorian homes on the East Coast and the West Coast.
My husband enjoys woodworking so I thought a stop at a place like this might be an interesting visit for him while we were traveling.
We enjoyed our visit so much we were sorry when we had to leave. Leave a Comment
