In Tune Humboldt County has a thriving music scene or, more accurately, scenes. After all, we’ve got a creative populous — scratch a shop owner or a banker and you might find a musician under there — and an audience pool bolstered by college students. For a remote area, we also get a number of big-name acts coming through on the road to San Francisco and Portland. In this issue, we’ll take you on a tour of iconic venues in Arcata — bars, clubs and theaters — where you can hear everything from reggae to punk to bluegrass on any given night. In Perfect Trips, you’ll find luthiers making guitars and banjos that are works of art, grab a bite at Taj Mahal’s favorite local Creole spot and the best places to catch buskers during monthly arts nights. And while we can’t promise you any whale songs, there are a few scenic spots to look for migrating grays, humpbacks and orcas. We’ll take you inside the Marimba One factory, where craftspeople are building world-class instruments, and let you know when and where you can catch a concert. We’ve also got an interview with The Monster Women, a Eureka trio with a kitsch-punk sound that’s been going strong for

more than a decade. Don’t be scared, they’re delightful. Searching for something to eat? Take a trip to Redwood Acres Photo by Mark mckenna Fairgrounds where a New York bagel joint and a charcuterie place are each amassing loyal followings. For lunch or dinner, we’ve got reservations at Tuyas, with fresh, creative Mexican dishes on Ferndale’s Main Street. Cocktail enthusiasts might enjoy a trip north to the Jewell Distillery for the fragrant gin that’s even winning over the gin-phobic. Check out our Browsing section to cure what ails you at Humboldt Herbals, then peruse the musically gifted mementos from shops around the county. Even if you haven’t got a plan, you’ll find a good time here in Humboldt. Just follow the music.

Retro sci-fi sounds from Eureka By Jennifer Savage Portraits by Amy Kumler taken at the Historic Eagle House

humboldt insider

WINTER/SPRING 2018

A few minutes into the 2006 Humboldt County music documentary Rural Rock & Roll, The Monster Women’s guitarist and vocalist Courtney Jaxon describes our little slice of heaven. “There’s something strange and magical about this whole place,” she says. “It’s like we’re in the middle of some weird forest where things are different.” A bit further on, drummer and vocalist Aimee Taylor notes, “There’s a lot going on for such a small place.” Thirteen years later, both these things remain true. Our forests are strange and magical enough that director Ava DuVernay used them for her forthcoming adaptation of A Wrinkle in Time. And Humboldt’s locally produced arts, music and theater continue to fill venues and galleries throughout the county. As for The Monster Women? Still going strong. Formed by Jaxon, Taylor and keyboardist Gary Silver in 2004, the band refers to itself as a “girl group gone to space” and resides in that sweet spot between retro new wave and garage rock. You’ve been together since George W. Bush was president, Facebook was still in a relatively nascent stage and the hashtag #EurekaRising had yet to trend. How has The Monster Women evolved over the years?

Courtney: We’ve become much better musicians after so many years of playing … There are so many jobs that go into putting on a good show: the booker who coordinates a venue, the promoter who makes eye-catching flyers and uses social media like Facebook or a telephone pole, the sound engineer, the door person, the other performers and an enthusiastic audience — hopefully! It’s quite a dance and we’ve done a lot of dancing. What are the challenges of being musicians in a small town in a remote area?

Courtney: It’s very DIY in this smaller town setting. One of our biggest challenges is finding proper venues … Two venues that are working hard to keep the scene alive right

now are the all-ages venues Outer Space (1100 M St., Arcata), as well as the Siren’s Song (325 Second St., Eureka). Is it helpful or more complicated to also be small business owners?*

Courtney: Yesterday’s punks have now become today’s small business owners/ entrepreneurs! … After 15-plus years of being best friends and bandmates, it’s exciting to be sharing in the world of small business ownership together. All of our shops are within one block of each other.

The Monster Women’s record: Murmaids from Mars

What are your favorite things about Eureka? Humboldt County?

Aimee: We love Old Town, of course, the thriving artistic community, the natural beauty of where we live. We have many amazing people here and our area is very unique. Courtney: Humboldt definitely has some magical energy and inspires our imagination. Aimee: A lot of the bands who come through come back because they love it here. #ilikeeureka! How does your music reflect this place?

Aimee: We write surreal-themed, otherworldly poppy rock songs. The soundtrack of our lives. Courtney is many generations local Humboldt, I've been here since third grade and Gary grew up on a farm in Ohio, but has been in Eureka now longer than he was there. Most of the songs on our first CD, some of which are still in our song rotation, were written →

The Monster Women’s new album Astral Projectin’ will be available on vinyl in March. * Jaxon owns vintage clothing store The Little Shop of Hers at 416 Second St.; Taylor owns vintage clothing shore Shipwreck at 430 Third St.; and Silver owns Seamoor’s toy shop at 212 F St.

by Courtney many years ago, and Eureka definitely inspired them in one way or another. Favorite show ever?

Gary: We loved opening for the Slits at [the former] Synapsis, as well as playing at the Eureka Vet’s hall (Eureka Veteran’s Memorial Hall, 1018 H St.) with Scout Niblet and Afrirampo. Those were amazing shows … More recently, we played really fun shows to premiere our latest music video, “Lost at Sea,” a claymation video by local artist Violet Crabtree that’s now on YouTube. Why does Humboldt County have such a vibrant music scene?

Gary: There are a lot of artists here in general. We believe the beautiful surroundings and remote location lend themselves to the creative process. Arts Alive! is a really fun monthly event and celebrates art on all levels. How can people visiting Humboldt find you? Why should they?

Gary: You can find our albums at The Works record store (434 Second St., Eureka). Little Shop of Hers, Seamoor’s and Shipwreck are where you’ll find any one of us any given day. We post our shows on Facebook and flyers around town, as well as advertise our shows in the North Coast Journal. We feel like we appeal to a wide audience with lots of different tastes in music. Check out our videos on YouTube — if you like what you see and hear, come find us! Our next show is Feb. 1 at Outer Space with K Records owner and Beat Happening legend Calvin Johnson. You’ve been playing music as The Monster Women since 2004. Where do you see yourselves 13 years from now?

Aimee: Still rockin’-and- a-rollin’! As David Bowie would say, “We don’t know where we are going from here but we promise it won’t be boring.”

FOLLOW THE BEAT Five iconic Arcata music venues By Collin Yeo On any given night, you can follow the sound of music and find yourself a good time in Arcata’s bars, restaurants, clubs and on sidewalks. Here are five rock-solid places to let the sound of local and visiting acts move you.

Van Duzer Theatre HSU Campus

Run the Jewels photo by Sam Armanino

The John Van Duzer Theatre on the Humboldt State University campus is the closest thing Arcata has to a concert hall and the diverse schedule dominated by the Center Arts season reflects that. Originally called the Sequoia Theatre, it was rechristened on Nov. 10, 1974, a mere 25 days after the death of its current namesake. John Van Duzer was a beloved member of the theater department and was instrumental in pioneering the technical and stage designs that brought the theater into the modern age. An elegant balconied building with a near 900-person capacity, the venue is renowned for the larger acts which Center Arts has attracted, including artists such as Joan Baez, Marcel Marceau, Joan Armatrading and rising jazz phenome Kamasi Washington’s group. In addition to music, the Van Duzer still hosts performances by the University’s theater department, as well as acrobatic acts and spoken word performances. Concessions usually include preshow and intermission offerings of wine, beer and cookies. Certainly on the spendier side of Arcata’s live attractions, the Van Duzer’s well-curated line→ up is frequently still a bargain. humboldtinsider.com

When co-owners Aimee Hennessey and Merrick McKinlay opened Richards’ Goat Tavern in November of 2014, they had expansion on their minds. Aimee explains that their vision for The Miniplex, the tiny venue adjacent to the bar, “came when we owned La Dolce Video in Arcata. Customers would frequently bring up what a bummer it was that there was no longer a local theater showing the sort of new independent films we stocked at the shop.” Helped by a Kickstarter fund, the Miniplex opened its doors in July of 2015 and quickly became more than just a 32-seat theater for independent cinema. They began booking live music there, as well, moving the rows of seats to the walls for shows to fit a larger crowd. “When you come to a show at The Miniplex,” Aimee continues, “you get to see artists like Hawkwind, Imarhan, Abstract Rude or Weyes Blood up close in an unusually intimate setting. One of my favorite musical performances so far was Swedish psych band Dungen performing their soundtrack to a 1926 animated fairytale projected behind them.” With a large menu of unique cocktails, teas and local-vore and vegan-friendly food, the bar at the Goat gives Miniplex attendees a refreshment experience on par with the delightful and esoteric entertainment offerings.

The Alibi 744 Ninth St. (707) 822-3731

Located in the center of Ninth Street’s tavern row, The Alibi is a long-running staple of Arcata’s music scene. Once just a dimly lit restaurant and bar, recent renovations have seen the addition of a brightly lit dining room and new bar, as well as a patio and smoking area and large, clean bathrooms. However, the dive aesthetics of the old place have not been forfeited, as the original “dark side” of The Alibi has been preserved in all its glory. On a dry-erase board above the pinball machine by the front door, one can find the calendar of upcoming shows booked by long-time promoter and loud-music impresario Ian Hiler. Full disclosure: Hiler used to regularly book my erstwhile New Orleans-born act Pony-

Killer, and we always had an especially good time playing there. Hiler’s tastes trend toward the kinds of music that work perfectly for the Alibi’s latenight format: punk, metal and heavy rock bands are generously represented, while lo-fi country groups such as Jenny Don’t and the Surs and the noisy astro-blues oddity Bob Log III have a home here, as well. Although Saturday is the traditional night for shows, off-nights are not unheard of if the touring act is good enough. Recently, vinyl DJ-curated dance nights have popped up, too, with tastes trending toward punk, goth and new wave. This large-menu restaurant, bar and venue hybrid is a venerated institution enshrined in the → pantheon of Arcata’s nightlife.

In 1977 Fred and Joyce Hough started The Jambalaya as a low-key bluesy live music bar just off the Arcata Plaza. In fact, my uncle Jay was one of the first bartenders there, my dad was the in-house carpenter and repair-man and I used to go bird-watching with the late door guy Bert, so the joint has always been dear to my heart. Local drummer and talent booker Pete Ciotti became an owner of the venue in 2009, with its full kitchen, generous stage and room capacity of 219. Thankfully the large Muddy Water painting presiding over the old stage stayed. The Jam, as it is now called, is focused on being a bar and venue now, offering music every night of the week and a schedule which sees a little of everything: weekly comedy shows, reggae groups, electronic acts DJspun dance parties, rock and tribute shows, jam bands, funk and rap acts. The Jamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good sound set-up, open dance floor, full bar and prime location make it a great bet for most any party night.

March Fourth Marching Band photo by MArk McKenna

Although the brewery part of the business is long gone, Humboldt Brews — or Humbrews, as the locals call it — offers a broad variety of beers and ciders, many local, as well as a full bar and extensive pub/bistro menu. While half of Humbrews’ footprint is dominated by a myriad of screens for the sporting crowd, the medium-sized attached music venue has a large dance floor, an excellent sound system, an intimate but spacious stage and limited raised seating for those not feeling the urge to dance. It also has a full bar and large, clean bathrooms separate from the restaurant; features that all contribute to its rep as one the most enjoyable places to experience live music in Arcata. The schedule is packed with diverse and popular touring acts, with past events, including the indie rock skelter of Built to Spill and the banging lyrical genius of hip-hop royalty’s Del the Funky Homosapien. Humbrews also regularly hosts local events, like the hugely popular vinyl-spun dance-stravaganza Soul Party. Humbrews has it all within “Chevro-legs” distance from Ninth Street’s bar row.

he Marimba is not a xylophone. They’re both comprised of different sized slats to strike to produce playful melodies. But the marimba, with its double row of wooden bars and metal resonator tubes below, is a far cry from the tinny, rainbow-colored toy you remember from grade school. Instead, it yields a warm, natural resonance like that of an acoustic guitar. The marimba handles rhythm and melody all on its own, conjuring both sweetness and melancholy. The preset ring of iPhone? That’s a marimba. So are the gentle tones that move along “Under My Thumb” by the Rolling Stones and Jimmy Buffet’s “Margaritaville.” And if you’ve ever heard a professional marimbist play with or without an orchestra, you probably heard one made by Marimba One, right here in Arcata. Since 1986, owner Ron Samuels has been producing rosewood marimbas in his Humboldt factory. He was drawn to the haunting sound of the instrument and eventually tried his hand at

building them. His first forays used gourds as resonators, like the original African instrument. One such model still sits beneath his desk. Inside the impressively sawdust-free Marimba One factory in the Creamery District, there are stacked shelves of cocoa-brown rosewood bars and workers turning out what are widely recognized as among the finest marimbas in the world. Samuels explains that Marimba One uses rosewood, a rare Central American wood, because of its “naturally musical” qualities. Rosewood was elevated to an officially endangered wood last year and the company follows strict guidelines regarding its purchase and shipment. The company has also streamlined its processing so there’s very little waste. Samuels ships selected trees and planks from Belize and Guatemala to Arcata for air and kiln drying before the artisans shape them in the temperature and moisture-controlled shop —

right down to the heated concrete floor. Each marimba’s pieces are carved from one tree, one continuous plank. Whatever is leftover is tucked away so that even any needed replacement keys will come from the original plank. Building an 8-foot, five-octave marimba isn’t just a matter of cutting keys a certain size. Every cut of wood is unique, and it takes a craftsperson, a master tuner with a well-honed ear and years of experience, carefully sanding each bar and testing it against a whirring strobe tuner, shaving off exactly the right amount of wood from the right place to achieve the desired pitch. “Voicing” a marimba, finding the “brightness” or “darkness” of its sound, bringing out its clarity, is an art that professional marimbists appreciate. So much so that, while a standard marimba may cost a hefty $12,000, a top-of-theline model can run up to some $25,000. Humboldt makes a fine home for Marimba One, in part because of the climate, with its →

steady humidity and lack of wild temperature swings. It’s also, he says, just a nice place. “It feels good to be here,” says Samuels. And that means working with people who are relaxed and happy to be where they are. Samuels first came to the North Coast from Los Angeles to attend Humboldt State University and, like so many students, fell in love with the area. “There are a lot of super talented craftspeople here who are really dedicated.” As if on cue, a man in a bright pink beanie walks past, literally whistling while he works. Marimba One makes its own mallets, too, using a closely guarded double-winding system — a vaguely steampunk-looking contraption of gears and chains that wraps colorful thread into mesmerizing spheres in the loft overlooking the factory floor. It is the work of local engineering guru Frank Jolly, developed by Samuels and former Yakima engineer Steve Cole, whom Samuels met shoveling manure at a local stable. The result is a range of mallets that make the most of the instruments made on the premises, bringing out their full, individual voices. Last year, Marimba One started manufacturing 5-foot-long, three-octave vibraphones, too, selling them for a far cheaper $4,000 to $5,000. A fan of jazz vibraphonists like Gary Burton, Samuels says, “I always really liked the vibraphone and thought it would be really fun to learn how to make one and diversify the business.” He and his team spent two years developing their model, the One Vibe, which has knobs and levers to extend or tamp down the sound and a system of small blades inside the resonator tubes that rotate to produce a tremolo effect. “We did all sorts of acoustic work to figure it out” he says. And now the factory machines the aluminum bars on the premises alongside the marimbas. And Marimba One isn’t done growing. This year the company looks to release a still durable but more affordable marimba Samuels refers to as “the people’s marimba.” There are also several concerts upcoming, including two in honor of Marimba One’s 30th anniversary. If you’re lucky enough to catch one, you might catch a little marimba fever yourself.

Want to bring home a whale of a story? On a clear and calm day (mornings are best), take your binoculars to one of the migratory watching hot spots along the Humboldt coast and scan the Pacific for grays, humpbacks and occasional orcas as they do their seasonal yoyo dance between Mexican and Arctic waters. They head north in late winter and spring, and prime viewing locations — high cliffs jutting out from the coast — include Table Bluff near Loleta, Trinidad Head and Patrick’s Point just south of Redwood National Park. Look for the blow, the puff of exhaling vapor streaming up to 12 feet above the water. Where there is one blow, others are sure

to follow. For a closer look at the migrating cetacean monsters, go on a boat with E & D Charters (707-498-1355) or a guided kayak trip with Kayak Trinidad (707-329-0085) out of Trinidad Harbor or Pacific Outfitters (707443-6328). In Redwood National Park, the popular Lady Bird Johnson Grove east of Orick gets tons of foot traffic but some hardy hikers drive a few miles farther east on Bald Hills Road, then down a winding dirt road to the trailhead for Tall Trees Grove, which leads to a much more beautiful stand of old growth giants. Look up at these towering sentinels along the alluvial flat of Redwood Creek, some approaching 2,000 years in

age, and prepare to stop in your tracks, dumbstruck, maybe even weeping. A few botanical bushwackers go off trail in search of nearby Hyperion, currently crowned tallest living thing, but consider the Tall Trees Grove the more moving experience. Notables in the grove include the Libby Tree, once the world’s tallest, whose discovery led to the creation of Redwood National Park in 1968. There’s also Nugget, which now stands taller than Libby, and Melkor, the most massive tree in the park. Give yourself at least half a day for the roundtrip from the Thomas Kuchel Visitor Center (707-465-7765, 119441 U.S. Highway 101, Orick) where one must get the required

day-pass (free) to access the trailhead road. Agate Beach, a few miles north of Trinidad, draws rock hounds from all over the country, scooping up rainbows of semi-precious stones along the pebbly strand. Bring a bucket to bag some yourself, especially the prized golden translucent ones. To reach Agate Beach go to Patrick’s Point State Park (4150 Patricks Point Drive, Trinidad; 707-677-3570), but other spots farther north offer rewarding picking, especially the beaches of Dry Lagoon and Big Lagoon. Low tide is best, especially after winter storms. Be mindful that the ocean has strong undercurrents and sometimes unpredictable waves in these environs. humboldtinsider.com

Foodies Should you walk through Old Town Eureka in the evening and hear an enchanting saxophone riff in the distance, follow the sound and chances are it will lead you to the SpeakEasy, a small, elegant nightclub at the E Street entrance to Opera Alley (707-444-2244, closed Sundays). This New Orleans-inspired blues bar, which specializes in tasty martinis and a wide selection of craft beers, hosts a variety of eclectic house bands — often jazz combos — that intermingle casually with the audience. It’s actually unavoidable since the tables are feet away from the players. Be careful or you might find yourself singing or playing with the band in an unrehearsed cameo. They don’t mind.

Art Lovers Luthier Steve Helgeson has been making fine custom acoustic, electric and bass guitars for more than four decades. He honed his craft repairing guitars in Moonstone Heights, a wooded coastal paradise near Trinidad that’s peopled by musicians, hippies and a neighbor in a three-story redwood stump house. Since then, his works have been strummed by legends of rock such as Prince and Greg Allman, who hosted Helgeson at the Westwood Marquis in Los Angeles for a marathon four-day party before getting around to writing an endorsement of Moonstone Guitars, the original purpose of the trip. Today Helgeson plies his trade in a more Hobbit-like setting, his cozy home and workshop in the woods near Eureka, accompanied by his rambunctious standard poodle Champ. Nevertheless, his art remains cutting edge crazy good. Stunning Brazilian rosewood guitars hang in various stages of completion around the shop, some inlaid with fantastical shapes of birds and dragons in mother of pearl, or hand-painted by a noted abstract painter. Interested in purchasing one or needing a guitar repair? Call for an appointment (707445-9045). Some fathers and sons, wanting to spend more time together, take up fishing or hunting. Others, like Jack and John Reed, wind up building guitars that sell to chart-topping musicians for thousands of dollars. Co-owners and crafters of Ronin Guitars, they perform their musical magic out of a small shop in Old Town Eureka. The secret of their success? They use only the finest reclaimed old growth redwood, which provides excellent tonal dynamics, balanced weight and vintage aesthetic appeal. Years ago, Jack, a one-time band manager and hobby woodworker, built an acoustic guitar for his son, John, then a bassist in a New York band. It was made entirely out of redwood, something unheard of at the time, from the family’s Humboldt homestead. Soon John and Izzy Lugo, a guitar repair wiz in New York, moved to Eureka and Ronin Guitars began its improbable ascent into luthier lore, transforming old bridge posts and wine barrels into popular guitars dubbed Badmoons, Stormcrows, Morningbirds and Miraris.

YouTube Ronin Guitars to see and hear the impressive redwood reverberations. Keith Urban is a believer — his latest commission is an electric Phoenix model. Poke your head through the gate at the corner of Second and C streets, and you might get an invite to have a look inside. Otherwise, visit by appointment (707-798-6052). Banjos, the quintessential American folk instruments, began eons ago as humble gourds with strings in West Africa. After slaves brought them over the Atlantic in the 1700s, they became more complex and took to the stage in minstrel shows and in folk and bluegrass music. In recent years, they evolved again in Blue Lake, California, a small village in the Mad River valley east of Arcata a few miles, where Colin Vance of Vance Banjos creates works of genius in

sound and style in a little wooden shop on his homestead. Vance, who makes banjos that are open-backs, resonators, even ukuleles and mandolins, is one of only a handful of U.S. crafters filmed for the North American Banjo Builder Series, which is housed in the Smithsonian Folkways collection. Besides being noted for their tonal excellence, his instruments often demonstrate an artistic flair rarely seen in his line of work. Some are inlaid with beautiful ammonite fossils. Some are dotted with unusual inlaid images, like exotic birds or pigs. He also innovates as an engineer, using magnets rather than screws for truss rod covers, for example. Call if you’d like to see what’s in stock or what he can make custom for you (707-845-9524). An inlaid Vance banjo. Colin Vance humboldtinsider.com

MORRIS GRAVES MUSEUM OF ART The Morris Graves Museum of Art is Humboldt County’s only art museum! Learn more about your local art museum, the historic building that houses it, and how a few dedicated art lovers helped save it from destruction. Who Is Morris Graves? DISCOVER THE ARTIST BEHIND YOUR LOCAL ART MUSEUM. Morris Graves was an internationally recognized artist who lived in Humboldt County from 1964 until his death in 2001 at the age of 90. His work focused heavily on the natural world and soft, radiant light and colors. He painted woodland animals and insects, and over time, began to focus heavily on still life paintings of flowers. Vibrant emotion is visible in even his most understated works. Graves came to prominence while living on an island outside of Seattle, Washington in a remote house he had built himself atop a cliff in the 1940s. His work was seen in a Seattle gallery by a curator of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and

from there, his work began to show regularly around the country. Always hoping to avoid the noise of the city, Graves moved from outside Seattle to Loleta, California in 1964 to a remote 25-acre plot of redwood forest. He built a lake and many buildings on his estate, which are still there today – although they are not open to the public and are limited to appointment visits and an artist residency program. Morris Graves was an enduring supporter of the Humboldt Arts Council and in 1999, he endowed the art museum restored by the Humboldt Arts Council in his name. Much of his personal collection and seven of his major and minor paintings are part of the Humboldt Arts Council’s permanent collection. Morris Graves

The Morris Graves Museum of Art used to be a Carnegie Library! THE BUILDING AT 636 F STREET HAS A LONG HISTORY OF PUBLIC SERVICE. In 1901, the city of Eureka made a pitch and was awarded Carnegie funding for the library it hoped to build. The city also held an architectural competition to see who would design and build the future library. Prominent local architects Knowles Evans and BC Tarver won the competition with their Classical Revival design, and construction began soon after on Eureka’s Carnegie Library. The building retains its Classical Revival style to this day, in particular with the massive, bold columns across the building’s façade that this style is known for. Tall doors and symmetrical windows are also signposts of this architectural style. After decades of use as a library, the building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.

Bob Doran – Collection of Antique Photographs

Sadly, in the 1990s, the building was slated for demolition. Just before it almost disappeared forever, the city of Eureka sold the building to the Humboldt Arts Council for $1. On January 1, 2000, the Carnegie Library opened its doors again as the Morris Graves Museum of Art. The museum is operated by the Humboldt Arts Council, which has offices on the first floor, and runs many lively programs and events out of the museum, including art classes, performances, special events, and even weddings and yoga classes.

Visit the Morris Graves Museum of Art! The museum is open Wednesday - Sunday, 12 - 5 p.m. You can find it at 636 F St. in Eureka, right next door to the Eureka Theater. In addition to many galleries and an outdoor sculpture garden, the museum is also home to the Humboldt Artist Gallery, a cooperative gallery of local artists selling paintings, sculptures, gifts, cards and jewelry.

With the Kids Imagine 3,000 square feet of old-fashioned amusements, crammed with stuff that kids really love — not plastic toys wrapped in layers and layers of more plastic — in many cases, basic household items that have charmed playful younglings for generations: buttons, fabric scraps, bottle caps, hats, magnets and such. Well, such a place exists: SCRAP Humboldt (101 H St., Arcata, closed Sundays, 707-822-2452), a creative nonprofit recycling and upcycling retail space in Arcata that caters to the frugally fun crowd. The youngest customers gravitate to giant bins of bingo chips, playing cards and miscellaneous puzzle pieces they can buy by the scoop, or a big box of old color slides, fascinated by the archaic technology and puzzling subjects encased therein. Got a little time? Register your child for a SCRAP class or pick up a pre-made scrap kit for kids. In the meantime, the grownups find many useful items inside,

whether old light fixtures and frames, croquet hooks and knitting needles, or foundart jewelry and cans of wood stain finish. You’ve likely heard the wise saying that music and math go hand in hand — so much so that, for example, tots practicing the piano will do better on their arithmetic tests. There’s one place in downtown Eureka where you can conduct an experiment on the matter, the Redwood Discovery Museum (612 G St., Eureka, Closed Mondays, 707-443-9694). Teeming with handson science demonstrations that vibrate, spin, careen, deluge and launch endless objects and imaginations, the downtown Eureka storefront delivers hours of fun, rain or shine. Oh yeah, the music part. The most popular exhibits among the mini-lab rats include those that (big shock) make lots of noise: wood and metal xylophones, a guitar that records audio waves live on a televised screen, a giant disk with a metal

coil that generates sounds like sci-fi space ships, and a makeshift organ with PVC pipes, played with rubber spatulas. Careful. If you and the little ones pay attention, great leaps in scientific knowledge and their underlying mathematical premises may take place. Hobbits in Middle Earth generally live inside dirt hills but if they were to get uppity in this world, they would no doubt dwell in hollowed out redwoods like those next to the Shrine Drive Thru Tree (13708 Avenue of the Giants, Myers Flat, 707-943-1975). The twin tree towers that comprise the treehouse village each have two stories, artfully carved windows, doors and stairs that are perfect for photo ops for folk tale lovers of all ages.

Baker’s an upstate New Yorker who moved to Los Angeles a decade ago and came north to attend Humboldt State University. While earning a degree in Critical Race, Gender and Sexuality Studies, he fell in love with the area. “The California dream — I’m living it,” he says. Yet he craved the authentic New York bagel. People ask him to describe this bagel so often that he’s thinking of designing “The Anatomy of a Bagel” as an info-graphic. “The outer crust has to be crunchy,” he says. “And when you bite in, it’s soft and chewy. Ideally, fresh out of the oven.” And Frankie’s has it down.

Tuyas Mexican Restaurant 553 Main St., Ferndale (707) 786-5921 www.tuyasferndale.com

Four women at a nearby table gaze longingly at our plate. “What is that?” they want to know. “I wish we hadn’t already ordered.” They want our chicken mole lettuce cups. Who could blame them? Mole is a complicated flavor. Peppers and chocolate. Hot and sweet, smooth and sharp all at once. I attempt to consume this like a taco, with mole squishing out the end. I reach for a fork to recover every pinch of rich, hot chicken. The appetizer leaves me wanting more mole. Which is fine, since chicken mole is an entrée on Tuyas’ lunch and dinner menus, served with rice, beans and tortillas. Fresh is the word of the day here. The building doesn’t even have a freezer. “Everything is made and prepped today,” says Tuyas owner Glory Lagielski. The salsa that came to the table with the homemade chips? Its ingredients were minced in this kitchen this morning. Likewise, the guacamole and the corn pico de gallo. Lagielski, who also co-owns the Shamus T. Bones in Eureka, has long wanted to open a Mexican restaurant in Ferndale. When → Left: A bright feast at Tuyas. Above: The Wild Souls Ranch Sparkling Cowgirl.

a location opened up downtown, about three blocks from her home, she jumped on it, transforming it into a bright, airy space with dreamy, color-saturated paintings and a mural in the alley. The menu, crafted by Mexico City chef Guillermo Dominguez, includes creative flourishes like a beet and arugula salad with mango, pecans and jicama dressed in mint-lemon vinaigrette ($13). There’s no wall of tequila at Tuyas but a solid selection of Spanish wines in addition to several wines from Humboldt and Mendocino. The house cocktail is the Wild Souls Ranch Sparking Cowgirl ($10), a low-alcohol lavender mojito made with sparkling wine — a mellow choice for lunchtime imbibing. I order a glass of Spanish Albariño ($9) but it’s popular and fresh out, so I go with Briceland Vineyard’s Arneis ($8.50). This Mendocino white balances the stunning coctel de camerones ($13.50), a giant goblet of poached shrimp and avocado in a salty-sweet, slightly effervescent tomato sauce. Zesty fish tacos arrive drizzled in a piquant cilantro-lime ranch ($12). The most comforting of foods on the menu are the sopes ($7.50), a platform of housemade masa topped with choice of meat and a small salad of lettuce and tomato, punctuated with guacamole and queso fresco. If you’ve still got room, you might think about the torta de tres leches or, you know, another plate of Las Tazas. humboldtinsider.com

ou don’t have to be a fan of gin to enjoy

Jewell Distillery Tasting Room

Jewell Distillery’s latest spirit, Jewell Gin. In fact, you don’t have to be a gin fan to distill it. 120 Monda Way, Unit C, Michael and Barbara Jewell began Jewell Blue Lake Distillery in a small Blue Lake warehouse in June www.jewelldistillery.com (707) 668-1810 of 2016. It was a passion project for the longtime Humboldt couple, and their first product, Pacific Open Saturdays 1-6 pm Moonshine, was a hit, taking home a gold and Tuesday through Friday silver medal in state spirits competitions. by appointment. Soon, friends began urging them to make gin. It made business sense — they were looking for an unaged spirit to help boost the recognition of their distillery. But there was hitch. “Barbara is a gin drinker,” Michael says, “but I’ve never liked gins.” That might have stopped other distillers, but not the Jewells. Barbara has a background in food, wine and spirits, having started Ramones Bakery, a Humboldt County institution. Michael’s spent a career in product development so problem solving is an instinct. Those forces, plus persuasive friends, led the Jewells on a journey to create an ideal gin. “From day one we said we wouldn’t put out anything we wouldn’t want to drink ourselves,” Michael says. They began tasting gins from around the world, looking for interesting flavor combinations and, more importantly, figuring out what they did not like — perfumey or piney gins, they discovered. Their biggest challenge came from juniper berries, the backbone of gin’s package flavors. They tried berries grown in eight or 10 different countries, each with unique characteristics, but didn’t like any of them. A bit stymied, they began to combine different junipers, finally striking gold with a flavor that they both loved. (Where those two berries hail from is the only Jewell secret, Michael says.) From there, the Jewells developed the rest of their botanical recipe, totaling 13 fruits, herbs and spices, and created a neutral spirit from organic French wheat. Their first batch took six months from concept to bottle and their second batch shipped in November. On a cold evening, Michael and Barbara escort a couple of visitors from the cozy tasting room to the warehouse, where the copper and steel still rises from the floor like an Industrial Age submersible. Their direct fire still combines the state-of-the-art with old craft tradition, a nod to small distillers in Portugal, France and Germany. They flavor their gin in the vapor stage, extracting a rich and complex profile from the botanical recipe. And it shows. Jewell Gin is a rich, fennell-forward spirit with an exciting bouquet. Perhaps most remarkable is its smoothness. They pride themselves on making cuts — distilling their spirits slowly and carefully to get rid of bad-tasting (and hangover-inducing) alcohols created during fermentation. It’s a gin worth sipping neat. Over ice, it’s almost like a cocktail all its own, with the flavors growing as the cube melts. Back in the tasting room, Barbara mixes one of their own recipes (see below), the Crown Jewell Martini, generously adapting the recipe to my taste. (A touch less elderflower makes the drink a little less sweet and lets the gin through a bit more.) Fans of gin will need no urging but even those wary of gin should try it — after all, it made a convert of its distiller. humboldtinsider.com

Winter/ Spring 2018

Like many transplants starting anew behind the Redwood Curtain, Caldwell saw an opportunity for reinvention in Humboldt. Formerly, a writer and teacher with a graduate degree in contemporary American poetry, Caldwell also possessed a passion for herbal medicine. She remembers how scarce access to medicinal plants was in the mid-1990s, ironically even in Humboldt County, the nation’s victory garden for cannabis. The daughter of a pharmacist and granddaughter of a folk herbalist, Caldwell set about furthering her education in plant medicine. She signed up for the class Beginning with Herbs with Jane Bothwell, a beloved local teacher, at the Dandelion Herbal Center in Kneeland. Expanding her roots in Humboldt’s holistic community, Caldwell quickly “met her tribe,” while also observing the need for better access to medicinal herbs in Eureka and Southern Humboldt. This February, Julie Caldwell will celebrate 20 years as the owner and operator of Humboldt Herbals, located in Old Town Eureka. When she started the business in 1998, Humboldt Herbals was a DIY catalog with a friend’s pen-and-ink illustrations of the plants, through which customers could mail order herbs and holistic products. She distributed the catalogs at local natural foods stores and laundromats, and somehow, orders from San Francisco to Oregon started rolling in. Today, Humboldt Herbals thrives as what Caldwell calls “a full-service apothecary,” providing bulk herbs, tinctures, salves, teas and knowledge to the community. While Caldwell happily self-identifies as living in the “woo-woo side of life,” she understands that aromatherapy and crystals is not everyone’s cup of chamomile tea. →

On opening the Second Street stop, Caldwell wanted to ensure that Humboldt’s diverse community felt comfortable and welcome, encouraging those new to plant medicine to explore, learn and heal. “No matter who helps you when you walk in the door, a trusted employee who knows their plants will help you. We don’t have self-serve jars. That’s important to me, because I want people to understand the herbs that they’re purchasing. That’s the part of the medicine,” says Caldwell, who keeps at least three herbalists on staff at all times. Regular classes from the Humboldt Herbals team include Sensory Plant Communication, Cooking with Medicinal Plants and seasonal plant walks, where Caldwell and her staff lead hikes to showcase medicinal plants growing in the Humboldt wild. In addition, Humboldt Herbals offers a community space for events and workshops of all stripes. Caldwell loves how many different groups have rented the open and airy space, from yoga classes to baby showers. When Caldwell’s not helping customers or compounding tinctures, she loves sitting in her garden at home, a habitat for butterflies and bees. There, she’s immersed in everything she loves about being an herbalist, “watching the medicine grow,” right outside her door. To learn more about plant medicine while sipping a complimentary cup of herbal tea, visit Humboldt Herbals at 300 Second Street in Eureka and online at www.humboldtherbals.com.

REDWOOD NATIONAL PARK

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.

Trinidad Trinidad’s iconic lighthouse is a symbol of the town where 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.

The town’s motto is “river fun in the mountain sun.” Willow Creek is hot enough for wine making or a cool dip in a Camp Kimtu swimming hole. The weather also means great produce at roadside stands. If you’re adventurous, you can throw on a vest and do some river rafting, and more leisurely types can fish or play a round of golf. Just keep your eyes peeled, because this is Bigfoot country. Swing into the China Flat Museum and explore the lore.

Blue Lake Humboldt residents socked in by summer fog know that they can generally find truth and relief in Blue Lake’s motto: “sunshine and sea air.” Where the Mad River takes its final stretch toward the Pacific, a small community of 1,200 displays an international reach. Once sawmills ruled, but now the Dell’Arte International School of Physical Theater imports students from around the world to learn the craft of commedia dell’arte and perform dramas and old-school clowning year round.

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.

Fortuna’s got you covered with a brand new dog park for your traveling companion. How about the kids?

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 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.

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.
