from the editor

Summer Comeback THE WARM TEMPERATURES and blue skies are here again, and with them some of the festivals and other events we’ve missed. We at Insider are all kinds of ready to soak up the sunshine and good times again. Our enthusiasm pales in comparison to that of Shoshanna, though, the local festival fixture, dance teacher and twirling swirl of sequins. We’ll introduce you to Arcata’s event cheerleader, if you don’t know her already, and find out how she’s been keeping it festive through a pandemic. You can say hello the next time you see her out on the plaza belly dancing or dressed as a fairy or a mermaid, with a gaggle of children trailing behind. Some of those events are previewed in our Perfect Trips, full of colorful kites, murals and kinetic sculptures racing over land and water. (Oh, how we’ve missed you, Kinetic Grand Championship.) There are plenty of options for creative outlets, like sand sculpting and gallery hopping, as well as for getting physical on bikes and at the batting cages. If it’s hot enough for you, we’ve also got the skinny on taking a dip in local swimming holes —specifically, a lineup of great ones on the famed Six Rivers. Picnic, wade and dry off in the sun. Just do us a favor and don’t skip the safety stuff, OK? And listen to your mom and wait 20 minutes after eating. Speaking of eating, get ready to make brunch plans. We’re loving all the new outdoor dining options around the county — parklets! picnic tables!

heaters and sidewalk tables! — especially the new patio at the Pub at the Creamery. The guava mimosas and homemade biscuits don’t hurt, either. Oh, and flip to the Menu of Menus listings in the issue for a breakdown of our eateries by region. We can’t promise it’ll make it easier to decide on dinner, though. Another recently revived tradition has us toasting in Blue Lake: drinks at the Logger Bar. The historic bar has a new outdoor area, new ownership and a million old stories. Pull up a barstool and get to know the regulars with us. And since everything old is new again, how could we resist a little thrifting? Bring a reusable bag and hit a couple of up-and-coming spots for looks worth re-serving. Redwood Rewind has you covered for vintage vibes and Brainwash Thrift takes an artsy and inclusive approach. And, of course, you’ll want to peruse the calendar in the back for all kinds of fun to be had from now through October. Redwood Coast Music Festival, North Country Fair, Arcata Bay Oyster Festival — it’s all in there. Join the fun. — Jennifer Fumiko Cahill

Arcata’s Fairy Godmother of Fun

18

humboldt insider

2022


Shoshanna Rose is helping keep events alive and sparkling By Michelle Drown • Photograph by Dave Woody “I LOVE IT WHEN PEOPLE get together and make wonderful things happen,” said Rose “Shoshanna” Anthony, a dancer, teacher, kids’ party planner and longtime Arcata resident. Surprisingly, COVID-19 provided her the opportunity to do just that. A Cal Poly Humboldt faculty member, the effervescent Shoshanna was growing tired of holding classes over Zoom during the darkest days of lockdown. “I was getting sad about dancing online and kind of needed a pandemic obsession,” she said recently. “I got pretty good at doing Zoom dance performances and hosting webinars and [using Zoom as a theater] and so I was asked [by Arcata Main Street] to do a virtual kids zone in 2020.” She accepted and then stayed on with the organization after the event. A small nonprofit, Arcata Main Street’s purpose is to “create a vibrant downtown by fostering business vitality and providing opportunities for community events,” according to its website. Its biggest annual event is the Arcata Bay Oyster Festival, which ran fully and partially virtual for the past two years. Shoshanna’s passions fit perfectly with the nonprofit’s mission and so she turned her energy toward its endeavors. Over the last two years, Shoshanna and her colleagues not only managed to organize numerous small events for the community to attend, but also planted seeds for projects now coming to fruition. For example, they figured out a way for performers and community members to put on shows outside but still remain protected from the elements under a big top circus tent. Using grant money awarded to the city, Arcata Main Street, along with several other arts institutions, including the Arcata Playhouse, bought a 40-by80-foot, red and blue striped tent and recently pitched it in the old Creamery field. “We’re just trying to make a place where people can do a lot of their different kinds of events,” explained Shoshanna. So far, the Arcata Playhouse has utilized the tent for its Family Fun Series. During spring break, it’s offering workshops for kids and Shoshanna is hosting Rainbow Fairy Camp. “There’s a really cool belly dance burlesque show coming up … and the steel drum festival that Jesse Jonathan puts on will be happening in May. There are just so many things that are going to go into that tent, including the Kinetic [Grand Championship] kickoff. Maybe schools are going to want to do graduations there,” she added. While connecting people and thinking outside the creative box appears to be two of Shoshanna’s superpowers, her background is firmly planted in art and dance. “I’ve been dancing my whole life and I’ve taken dance at many different local studios,” she said. As a child, she studied ballet but quit when she was a tween. “I got into point shoes and I those were really uncomfortable. I had weak ankles and I kept twisting them. … It was not a delightful experience for me,” she recalled.

profile Wanting to keep dancing, Shoshanna decided to try belly dancing at the studio where she studied ballet. “I went to some summer classes and I really loved it. I loved the fabric. I loved the music. I loved the fact that it was barefoot,” she said with a laugh. She also dabbled a bit in modern dance and tap, but by age 17, she was focused on belly dancing. “I started going to this Middle Eastern music and dance camp in Mendocino every year. And I went to that for 23 years until last couple years.” After high school, she attended what was then Humboldt State University, earning a BA in art studio and art history. Active in the dance department as a student, she has remained affiliated with the college (now Cal Poly Humboldt) and currently teaches Middle Eastern dance courses. In addition to her work with Cal Poly, Shoshanna founded a dance studio, Redwood Raks (which is now a nonprofit) and started a children’s birthday party business. One could say belly dancing and fancy-dress parties are her signatures. Shoshanna could often be found sporting a pair of fairy wings at kids birthday parties and the 2019 Fairy Festival, at which she and others donned mystical costumes for the Frolick of the Fairies. The Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland, a mermaid and characters from the Wizard of Oz are also in her repertoire. Needless to say, Shoshanna is fond of the whimsical. When COVID hit, however, her dress-up days took a drastic hit. The pandemic “completely obliterated my [party] business,” she said. So, Shoshanna threw herself into her work with Arcata Main Street; last year there were approximately 40 days of events, she said. “And this year we have 10 weeks of the Sunday art market and 10 weeks of the summer concert series, among other events, that people can enjoy.” Shoshanna likened putting on events continuously for the past year-plus to tap dancing on quicksand. “It’s been really hard, the pivoting and twirling; the chaos and changeability of everything makes some people go crazy,” she said, admitting that her “problem-solving creative brain is a little tired right now.” In the upcoming weeks, Shoshanna will be doing her best to transition to a less time-consuming role at Main Street, as she’ll soon be embarking on a new path with the Humboldt County Library. “I’m going to be working as the children’s services outreach coordinator all through county libraries. And I am so excited. I don’t want to abandon Main Street or this outdoor events grant, but I’m going be working with kids more, which I love, love, love.” As for her work with Main Street, she said “It’s been an adventurous journey and it’s really wonderful to have people in the city and … all these different organizations come together and [use their creative power].” While she’ll continue to support “all the wonderful, magical things” the organizations are doing, Shoshanna’s looking forward to not being the point person for so many things. “I’d love to cruise into the rest of 2022 being … an ambassador and a connector of people,” she said. Which will probably still involve plenty of twirling.

Swimming the Six Rivers

By Jonathan Webster Photographs by Connor Bennett

↓ A leap from a fallen redwood on the Eel River at Rockefeller Loop.

22

Most locals know the Six Rivers after which we name our schools, businesses and beer refers to Six Rivers National Forest, a long, inland strip of forestland extending over 130 miles south from the Oregon border, itself named after six of the area’s rivers, naturally. Ask locals to name them, however, and you might get varied responses. Officially, they are: the Eel, Klamath, Mad, Smith, Trinity and Van Duzen rivers. But it’s easy to get mixed up. The Eel doesn’t flow through the Six

humboldt insider

Rivers National Forest and the Smith doesn’t flow through Humboldt County. And what about the Mattole? Isn’t Redwood Creek technically a river? Our relationships with these rivers are complex. We revere them, ignore them and fight over them, often all at once. They make our lives possible and they take lives away. Fortunately, with caution and respect, it is possible for locals and visitors alike to trancend the confusion and almost feel how we belong to them by diving in. →

SAFETY FIRST

k l a m at h

There are no lifeguards on duty at any of these spots. Carelessness can result in injury or death. To stay safe, follow these rules: • Before heading out, always check river levels and flow information with the National Weather Service. • Avoid swimming into a fast-moving current. If the current seems strong, get out of the water.

• Do not jump into water you have not thoroughly investigated to ensure it is deep enough and free of obstructions.

• Never swim alone.

As the swimming season progresses, blooms of toxic algae — dangerous to humans and fatal to animals — are more common. Always check the HAB Incident Reports Map at www.mywaterquality.ca.gov for reports of algae blooms before picking a spot and stay out of the water if you see algae in, on or near the water.

and provide directions to many options, including near Shively, Scotia and Fortuna.

2 - The Klamath

One of the largest rivers in California, the Klamath flows into Humboldt County from the north. After joining with the Trinity River at Weitchpec, it reverses direction and heads back across the northern county border before meeting the ocean. This stretch of the Klamath downriver from Weitchpec is Yurok land, where communities have been devastated by water quality issues stemming from damming and water diversions. With the imminent removal of four dams on the upper Klamath, locals are hopeful the river’s health will rebound, with the added bonus of more safe swimming days. When conditions are clear, take advantage. But guests staying at nearby Sandy Bar Ranch in Orleans, just 15 miles upriver from Weitchpec, are not limited to swimming. A shade canopy by the river is a perfect spot to relax and take in the view, there are goats on the ranch to say hello to

1 - The Eel

Heading into Humboldt from the south, U.S. Highway 101 hugs the South Fork Eel River for 34 miles. The waters in this tributary of the Eel River may be calm and inviting as early as late spring. There are countless spots visible from the highway (or its parallel scenic alternative, the Avenue of the Giants) to pull over and take a dip. The last few miles of the South Fork before its intersection with the Eel proper are especially generous with swimming spots. The eastern bank of the river is best accessed via Rockefeller Loop. From there, a short walk through the serene

humboldt insider

Summer 2022

Rockefeller Grove presents a few opportunities to head toward the river. The trail passes through a cut in an enormous fallen redwood and the swimming hole features another partially submerged one — perfect for hopping off, or even swimming under. North of the confluence of the Eel River and its South Fork, the Eel is wide and swimming is often not an option until mid-summer. The window of time before algae becomes a concern is brief some years. But visitor center and lodging staff can let you know if the timing is right


and it’s only a short walk to Prospect Trail for a tour of old mining flumes and ponds. And if nothing but a dip will do, the nearby Salmon River is an excellent alternative.

3 - The Mad

Short on time? Sample a local restaurant without sacrificing the sunny day by getting takeout to enjoy by the river. Swimming spots in Blue Lake are close enough to restaurants in Arcata and McKinleyville that your food will still be warm when you reach the water. In Blue Lake itself, Mad River Brewery is a tempting place to fill the cooler. Picnickers can find swimming spots right off Hatchery Road and its bridge over the Mad River. Or try parking at the Fish Hatchery, walking around the tanks and taking one of the trails heading east toward the river. For more privacy, find the trail heading south at the very end of the parking lot and follow it to the river embankment, where water becomes shallow enough in summer to wade across to the other side. Swimming holes and picnic spots extend upstream hundreds of yards. → ↑ A picnic and a plunge in the Mad River at the fish hatchery. ↓ A Mattole River day at A. W. Way County Park.

BONUS - The Mattole

Pay a $5 day-use fee at A. W. Way County Park and walk down to the riverbank to experience the Mattole, a milky blue-green river whose smaller size makes it an appealing option in spring and early summer. It’s not one of the official six but doesn’t disappoint.

clear as a result. Swimmers can find Sandy Beach River Access 1 mile west of Patrick Creek Campground — stop in the visitor center for pamphlets with directions to other spots. The best sites in the campground provide guests with babbling waters to lull them to sleep and an intimate view of the river to wake up to. For those who prefer the comfort of a mattress (or maybe just a drink at the bar) Patrick Creek Historic Lodge is right up the road.

5 - The Trinity

↑ The clear waters of the Smith River.

4 - The Smith

It doesn’t flow through Humboldt, but a trip north to the emerald waters of the Smith is worth it. This relatively unspoiled river has no dams and is renowned as one of the cleanest in California. The water is colder here than down south and stunningly

The Klamath’s largest tributary, the Trinity River has always been popular for recreation. Those relaxing on its beaches will likely see rafters passing by in spring. Later in summer, when the waters are less swift — some say no earlier than August — the sweltering inland temperatures make swimming impossible to resist. Remember: More people drown in the Trinity than any other local river, so follow precautions while you bask in its magnificence. One of the Trinity’s most accessible beaches is at Camp Kimtu in Willow Creek. A $2 day-use fee grants entry to a long stretch of river-

bank with perfect jumping spots on the opposite side. Ten miles downriver, Tish Tang Campground has shed its rowdy reputation since Hoopa Valley Tribe member Inker McCovey took over in 2017. After handing him the $3 day-use fee, swimmers will find drying off in the sun as peaceful as it is beautiful.

6 - The Van Duzen

This tributary of the Eel is the smallest of the six rivers, making it relatively safe to swim early in the summer but also prone to algae late in the season. Instead of wide, flat riverbanks, the Van Duzen offers short beaches and dramatic boulders between its many churning swimming holes. Paying an $8 day-use fee and crossing a seasonal bridge at Grizzly Creek Redwood State Park brings visitors to one of longer stretches of swimming area. Camping here provides an excellent home base for exploring the river (though the nearby State Route 36 can be noisy at night). Downriver, Swimmer’s Delight is popular with families for its shallow entrance and nearby parking. Upriver, steeper hikes down to secluded pools await the more adventurous.

Perfect Summer Trips By Meg Wall-Wild

Why are you still inside? It’s SUMMER. Toss everyone in the car and head for the beach! It’s time for the return of many time-honored Humboldt traditions. When was the last time you watched kinetic sculptures wend their way to Ferndale? Stroll among sand sculptures and watch or fly colorful kites in Halvorsen Park. Tour street art on classic cruisers or head out to the dragstrip for cruisers with horsepower. Grab a tasty Reuben with a Humboldt twist, relieve family stress with a lively game of Lasertron or meander along the Eel River, then feast on Mexican food in Fortuna. Humboldt has what you need for summer fun. →

Outdoorsy Types Get a bucket and do some urban clamming at the foot of Del Norte Street in Eureka or go remote on the south spit across the bay from Fields Landing at a place known as “Clam Island.” If Pacific razor clams are your thing, wear boots (they’re sharp) and head to the aptly named Clam Beach in McKinleyville. As always, please keep an eye out for sneaker waves. Before you dig, get an accurate measuring device and a Sports Fishing License ($54 residents annual, nonresidents short term licenses $18-54). Always check the California Department of Fish and Wildlife webpage for current invertebrate fishing limits and regulations, especially due to health hazards. You can also call the California Department of Public Health’s toll-free Shellfish Information Line at (800) 553-4133. Feeling like a challenge? Call Wildtrail Tours and book the mountain bike tour of Arcata Forest (215 C St., Eureka, 707-613-1333, www. wildtrailtours.com). The easy-going Eureka Street Art tour will show her local color. Or maybe it’s time for a pedaling pilgrimage through the Avenue of the Giants. Wildtrail has more than wheels. Tours are available for bike or hike and bicycles can be delivered to your hotel. Feel the pull of a campfire under the redwoods? Wildtrail will kit you out with tent and sleeping bags, even a backpack for those with a long stroll in mind. Choose your bike to suit your terrain: mountain, street, or the electric fat tire perfect for the beach on the Hammond Trail tour. Join a tour by yourself or set one up for two to 12 guests (check website for group discounts). The 90-minute to twohour bike and hike tours start at $59 (delivery fees may apply). Go fly a kite! The Humboldt Kiters will be at Eureka’s Halvorsen Park May 21-22 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. for the Redwood Coast Kite Festival. You can watch the dazzling array of kites from a single-string traditional to a 190-foot-long serpent,

a 22-square meter ladybug to a 22-foot-wide trilobite (a flying fossil!). Bring your own kite to the Fun Fly Time held each day or learn how to DIY one at the kite building workshop, and enjoy the Artisans Fair and the Kites as Art installations in Old Town. Last year, festival coordinator Mark Ahrens handed his kite to a

woman who said, “I haven’t flown a kite since I was a kid.” She flew it for half an hour of unmitigated joy. Find that joy for yourself in Humboldt’s skies. Visit www.humboldtkiters.org for festival information. Spread the joy with a donation supporting kite workshops for all ages that will help others take to the air. →

What’s the best way to cap off a trip to Humboldt Bay’s jetty? A trip to the Jetty — Humboldt Bay Social Club’s newest eatery gives you a delicious way to dine after a walk on the Samoa dunes (900 New Navy Base Road, Samoa, 707-502-8544 ext. 2, www.jettyhumboldt.com). The menu is full of comfort food.

Even in summer, the shore can be chilly. Warm up with a bowl of loaded vegan Tater Tots or gourmet mac and cheese. Half serving Coastal Kid Bowls are available for little explorers. Pescatarians will enjoy the American Samoa Tuna Melt made with Wild Planet albacore. Relax in the outdoor picnic area as you slake

your thirst with a Six Rivers Brewery Moonstone Porter from the Lobby Bar. Kids of all ages will go crazy over the s’mores kits. Casual dining meets coastal comfort in the best way possible. The unique Humboldt take on favorites like Reubens and the humble macaroni salad can be yours for takeout, too. Please the whole family with a trip to La Costa Mexican Restaurant in Fortuna (664 S. Fortuna Blvd., Fortuna, 707-725-9416). You have your eye on the super quesadilla but not all appetites are created super sized. Your partner scans the menu, eyes lighting up over campechana (shrimp and oyster cocktail with cilantro). They point out the house specialties, so you go for the fish dish mojarra a la diabla. A la carte or combo plates will provide. Have a burrito, enchilada, taco, or all three! If you are fortunate in Fortuna and visit on Saturday or Sunday, order the traditional menudo soup. Morning already? Try tasty breakfast burritos and the crowd-pleasing huevos con chorizo, scrambled eggs with essential spicy sausage. Cap it all off with fried bananas. What a treat! You can also order take out and feed the troops at home. Hop off U.S. Highway 101 and take a summer side trip to Bayside along the back of Arcata Bay. Drive past placid cows grazing in lush grass fields along Old Arcata Road. The charming Bayside Trio Café awaits (1602 Old Arcata Road, Bayside, 707822-4423). There’s root beer on tap! Kombucha, too. Or have the friendly barista whip up an organic latte with house-made almond milk. The café serves a scrumptious lemon bar, not too sweet with just the right tang. Stop in for brunch and an organic vegan Beloved Bean Bowl. Maybe the Basic Brekkie with poached cage-free eggs, or a gluten-free bagel with Fish Bros. lox? Decisions, decisions. Cold and hot sandwiches (whole or half) are served up on fresh focaccia. Enjoy your gourmet panini with local chevre, organic beets and Larrupin’ dill sauce out on the patio.

The event adds to an ever-growing inventory of world-class street art. Like the impressive “We Built This City” by Blake Reagan and Lucas Thornton on the Humboldt County Courthouse. Dave Kim painted “Fowl” to honor Eureka’s historic Chinatown and prominent Eurekan Ben Chin just off E Street between Fourth and Fifth streets. Next to it, Gina Tuzzi’s mural speaks to the 2020 August Fire Complex. The vibrant “Tortured Beauty” by Tony Diaz graces the side of MOCA Humboldt on Fourth and C streets. Friends and family helped Alme Allen lovingly restore the 21-year-old artwork “The Sun Set Twice on the People That Day” he helped create with Brian Tripp. Make sure you see it! Don’t forget to walk along the Live Art Wall on Waterfront Drive. The juxtaposition of old favorites with new art refreshes the soul. A constant state of renewal means the wall never grows old.

The American Indian Art and Gift Shop is the place to go to admire the simple beauty of a carved medicine acorn necklace, or the smooth curve of a stunning piece of pottery (241 F Street, Eureka, 707-445-8451, 1-800-566-2381). Enjoy the works of more than 40 artists representing the Hupa, Karuk, Wiyot and other tribes. Or visit for presentations like Arts Alive! featured artists Cody Martinez and musician Trinidad Goodshield. The Northern California Indian Development Council founded the gallery to provide market access and retail training to Native American artists, many of whom live in remote areas. Peruse Native artists’ bold colors, delicate basket weaves and masterful potting and traditional imagery. Then your eye hits the jewelry — intricately woven necklaces of crystal and glass seed beads. Linger over carved dentalium, bone, horn or mother of pearl that will spur a new love of Native American craftsmanship. Don’t leave without a richly illustrated Native tale for your book-happy child. You can also support these talented artists by visiting www.americanindianonline.com. The Epitome Gallery proudly

states it is dedicated to street art (420 Second St., Eureka, 707-7981541). Owner and artist Julia Finkelstein gives edgy, bold and almost impossibly colorful art its due and wall space with a full summer schedule of exhibits. In June, see Mike Kershnar: Beside the Sacred Eel. Kershnar’s work is truly multimedia and he’s collaborated with the Beastie Boys and Thrasher. In July, The Can Show invitational gives street artists an empty spray can as a canvas. Epitome is also collaborating with Humboldt Skate Lab on The Skateboard Show, for which artists customize boards to be sold around the corner at The Madrone (421 Third St.) to provide skateboards for kids in need of ollies. August brings Graffiti Camp for Girls founder Girl Mobb’s focus on social themes, spray painting over perceptions of women artists as genteel ladies painting flowers. Spoken word events are ongoing, too, with Eureka Poet Laureate and Slam Champion Wil Gibson running poetry workshops and his Reworded Poetry Mobile Bookstore at the gallery.

The crack of a bat is the sound of summer. But making that ball/bat connection takes practice. Redwood Acres Home Plate Batting Cages is the place to bring your little batter (Redwood Acres Fairgrounds, 3750 Harris St., 707-443-3154). The batting cages make it easy for hitters of all skill levels to drill for their moment of homerun glory. Practice or training? Baseballs can fly at 50, 60 or 80 miles per hour. That video of your child making their first fast hit can be replayed over and over, proud parent points free of charge. A slow-pitch setting allows your softball fan to get in their licks, too. Bring cash or change for the three cages. A token for 25 balls costs $2, but for $5 you get 3 tokens and 75 balls — a deal. Helmets and bats are provided. humboldt insider

Rainy day? Bring the kids to Bear River Family Entertainment Center and let loose (263 Keisner Road, Loleta, 707-733-1880, www. bearriverfec.com). The Arcade has 30 games to entertain child and adult alike. Play cards can be purchased at kiosks with options for Bonus Play, a great idea if you have an avid gamer on your hands. There are prizes, too. Ready to roll? Introduce the kids to the fashion phenomena known as bowling shoes. Or make an evening of it with Cosmic Bowling (by lane, up to 6 players). The center takes the stress out of birthday party planning with pizza, lemonade and games in one place, as well as bowling or laser tag packages. Otherwise, single Lasertron missions are $5-$6 Friday through Sunday. No visit to a seaside town with a

van full of kids would be complete without a trip to Trinidad Bay Eatery & Gallery for a piece of its famous fudge (607 Parker St., Trinidad, 707-677-3777, www.trinidadeatery. com). Smiling staff are happy to provide samples because a child (or adult) given this many choices will struggle. The Belgian dark chocolate with pink sea salt may draw you in, only for you to fall prey to Vanilla Skor Bar instead. For purists who won’t budge from traditional fudge, there’s always creamy chocolate on hand along with peanut butter and jelly, cookies and cream, and holiday-themed flavors. While you wait for your ¼-pound, ½-pound and 1-pound portions, look around the gift shop and see if you can resist the adorable fuzzy banana slug. Fudge and slugs are just what every childhood needs.


Not Just for Tourists Join the fun May 28-30 as beautiful beasts of artistic expression locomote through Humboldt powered only by human effort during the Kinetic Grand Championship. The race earns its title as the Triathlon of the Art World. Where else will you see a giant crab scuttling down Samoa Boulevard, hotly pursued by an arched-back cat and a colorful ’50s diner, all pedal-powered? The three-day race is capped off by the silliness of watching them all try to cross water. The Friends of Hobart Brown, named for the iconoclast founder who participated in the 1969 inaugural race on a pentacyle, are keen on keeping this event family-friendly, safe and hilarious. Whether you spectate or build your own, follow the Kinetic Universe to keep up and join in. Visit www.kineticgrandchampionship.com/racers to find route maps or donate to keep the wheels of the world’s foremost kinetic sculpture race rolling from Arcata to Ferndale. For the Glory! Enjoy the ephemeral during the Friends of the Dunes Sand Sculpting Festival July 9-31. The sculptures are created by teams of friends, nonprofits or businesses for a friendly competition that encourages the public to view and vote for their favorites to win the coveted People’s Choice award. This year, the Friends of the Dunes created a hybrid event, bringing sculptures back to the beach by their Humboldt Coastal Nature Center, a 3/8-mile hike from the parking lot (220 Stamps Lane, Samoa, 707-4441397). Sculptures will also pop up along beaches from Moonstone to Samoa. The kickoff at the nature center starts July 9 with the best viewing between 11 a.m.to 2 p.m. as their artistic visions manifest. Voting for your favorite sculpture by planting a $1 flag by it will support the nature center’s amazing educational programming. You can also vote online at www.friendsofthedunes.org, and the festival takes place over three weeks, so keep checking for new sandy artwork.

The 2019 Best in Show award went to Team Craghead for its "Beach Cleanup" sand sculpture of a man emerging from the beach clutching non-native grass and flowers. Here, Mike Craghead applied the last finishing touches. Mark Larson

The smell of burning rubber with notes of hot engine oil and gasoline get you revved up as the dragsters toe the line. It’s race time at Samoa Dragstrip (900 New Navy Base Road, Samoa, 707-845-5755, www. samoadragstrip.com). The ¼-mile asphalt track hosts Humboldt’s best drivers and hottest rods in five classes. Classic muscle Mustangs go head-to-head with new-school Nissans. Old-school dragsters are on hand, long, low and chromed up. Lightning-fast crotch rockets can burn rubber, like Samoa’s 2021 Champion Motorcyclist DJ Miclett. Junior Dragsters like champion Aiden Adams will inspire burgeoning grease monkeys.

Samoa Dragstrip flashed the start for the first time in 1955 and is still going strong. Super Pro, Pro, Sportsman, motorcycle and Junior Dragster NHRA classes run at every race except special events like Big Buck Race, No Prep Race and the Big Bike Shootout. Think you have what it takes under the hood? Register your car with the Humboldt Del-Norte Timing Association and ante up for a Test and Tune. Or put your money where your mouth is when the Street Legals come out to play. It’s a fun day out for $10 (12 and under free) and you get to see the pit! Don’t forget to grab one of the best hot dogs in Humboldt.

food&drink The new patio area at the Pub at the Creamery.

By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill Photographs by Jonathan Webster In its way, brunch is the most luxurious of meals out. The elements can be as basic as eggs and potatoes, though upping the ante with Champagne is always nice. The place can be as modest as a diner, but its timing is predicated on having the weekend off, sleeping in a little. We eat at a leisurely pace and linger at the table — but nobody schedules a working brunch. Dining alone for a regular meal is lovely but brunch is meant to be social. And if the last couple years have taught us anything, it’s what a luxury gathering can be. The return of Saturday and Sunday brunch at the Pub at the Creamery felt auspicious, especially with its newly built patio. Swaths of sail cloth cast shade on the bench seating, café tables and chairs. There’s greenery at the base of the trellis and a mural of potted plants painted along the wall. “On a nice day, it’s the best seating in the house,” says Pub co-owner Jake Pickard. The best seat on the patio might be the one with the chicken and waffles in front of it, though. “Chicken and waffles is definitely my favorite brunch item. Kristen [Callahan], our head chef, does a really nice job.” The waffle, light and crisp outside with a springy interior, would make anyone happy on its own. But topped with a wonderfully juicy, buttermilk-brined

chicken thigh fried to a lacy crust that produces an audible crunch that may turn your neighbor’s head. For those sticking to savory, the Breakfast Burger is a satisfying option: a stack of sausage, bacon, cheddar cheese and arugula topped with a fried egg and served on a soft house-made bun swiped with maple aioli. The home fries — jackets on, evenly browned and spiced — hold their own on the side. There are options for devotees of biscuits and gravy: The rolled biscuits layered with green onions can be smothered with a spicy pork sausage gravy or an equally rich mushroom gravy. (Though a shareable side of the mushroom gravy won’t go to waste no matter what else is on the table.) The sourdough Arcata Toast makes the case for a lighter meal with avocado, garlic and a tumble of bright cherry tomatoes drizzled with a tangy balsamic reduction. But if you’re truly famished, the Tater Tot-stuffed California breakfast burrito may be the challenge you seek. Come back to peruse the bevy of taps for beers local and far-flung — brunch offers its own drink menu for a lazy weekend morning. Fresh-squeezed orange juice, kombucha and yerba mate in one column, bubbly cocktails and mimosas in the other. Of the latter, the guava and mango varieties of the Pubbly are particularly sunny choices made with Wycliff Brut. “Brunch is forever and always,” says Pickard, though some changes may be on the way for the lunch and dinner menus. Callahan, who has worked in the kitchens at the Alibi and Humboldt Brews, is working on a late-night menu with items like meatball subs. Pickard opened the Pub with Timmaree Finigan and her fiancé Corbin Larson in June of 2019, offering counter service with an enviable list of beer and wine, and a menu that spanned from woodfired pizzas to bulgogi bowls. But Pickard says the industrial elements and reclaimed redwood that create the feel of the place, indoor and outdoor, is owed to Timmaree’s parents, Brian and Lisa Finigan, who also own the building. “They’re masters at their craft … they made the cabinets, made the bar,” says Pickard, who put in sweat equity hammering and hauling under their guidance. The bar is a fine example of reclaimed redwood, constructed of three slabs from a single burned tree. Overhead are old library dividers from Cal Poly Humboldt. The tap box is built from heat exchanger plates, which were also used to make the hanging light fixtures. The overall effect is clever and nostalgic, in keeping with the historic building. There are touches from Pickard’s family, too, in the form of the pool table from his childhood home. “We got that when I was like 15,” he says. “My parents

got it so we wouldn’t go drinking and driving, so we’d have something to do.” (Attention parents with space in the basement: It mostly worked.) Playing pool at the Pub is free but it’s $1 if you drop a ball or a cue. The foosball table is free, too, and there are board games and cribbage for customers to grab for their table or booth. Pub staff don’t mind if you linger. Bask in the luxury.

THE RETURN OF THE LOGGER BAR

humboldt insider

Summer 2022


By Erin Young Photographs by Mark McKenna Not so long ago, the Logger Bar was known as a good place to get in a fight. In its long history, the Blue Lake icon may have at times earned that seedy reputation, but it has since evolved under the stewardship of former owner Kate Martin to reflect the friendly, neighborly character of the town. When I read in June of 2020 that the bar was up for sale, my immediate reaction — like many patrons — was concern. Images of wonderful college nights flooded my memory: dancing to local bands, losing terribly at pool, the turtle races (well-cared for, smalltown celebrities that they were). I was so sad to think the business might be sold to someone who didn’t get it. “What else could go wrong this year?” I asked myself in a moment of hilarious naivety. But new owner Michael Fields is keeping the feel and the stories of the Logger Bar going. The Logger Bar has a rich, colorful history. When it was built in 1899, it was one of three bars on the block. Today, it is the only one left standing and has earned the title of oldest continuously serving bar in Humboldt County. First largely patronized by — you guessed it — loggers, it has always celebrated its history, accumulating artifacts like the chainsaws hanging from the ceilings, the circular saw blades embedded in the original wooden floor boards, and the lineup of dented helmets of lumbermen who pulled green chain — the dangerous work of sorting lumber into piles to be graded at the sawmill. Under Fields’ ownership, it all looks and feels the same: The long, wooden bar is lined with customers, the pool table is still donned with red felt and photos of past patrons hang on the walls. Fields credits Yajaira Padilla, who worked with Martin, staying on as bar manager for much of the business’ success. The only thing missing is the turtle aquarium — evidently the aforementioned races came to halt after a dramatic turtle-napping. Once returned to their rightful homes, the turtles retired to a local school to live out their days. On a recent night, Fields himself was bartending. As he slid me my vodka soda, he peered over my head and handed a patron behind me a few quarters, saying, “Here, it’s free pool today!” Fields had only taken ownership a few weeks prior, but he is no stranger to bartending or the Logger Bar. And he is an incredible storyteller — one of the most important skills of a good bartender. Fields moved to Blue Lake from the Bay Area in 1975. During his time in San Francisco, he had worked

as a bouncer at a bar and worked his way into bartending, where he gathered some enthralling stories. He ultimately made the move to Blue Lake to study with Dell’Arte International, where he worked for nearly 40 years before retiring from his position as producing artistic director and, no doubt, honed his talents in storytelling. Over those years, he often came to the Logger Bar. “We used to write plays in here,” he said. When Martin purchased the bar in 2012, she kept the memorabilia, but undertook the massive project of cleaning, painting and redecorating what had always been a dive to create a welcoming watering hole. Some 100 local volunteers answered the call to come and help. “My wife and I were back there pounding nails in the walls to hang all those pictures,” patron Jeff DeMark said, pointing at the photos of regulars and pieces of the bar’s history. Those regulars and the spirit of the town make up the bar’s personality. Martin has often said each owner is really a steward for the Logger’s next iteration. Fields described the Logger Bar as being “like Blue Lake’s living room.” It feels that way — reflecting the town with the rugged artifacts of one of Humboldt County’s oldest industries, the Beatles playing in the background and the large disco ball among the massive chainsaws hanging from the ceiling. And because of the enthusiastic and welcoming patrons bellied up to the bar. Fields said the customers he had met at the bar were a mix of “great locals who come a lot and a lot of people who have never been in this bar before. I want everyone to feel welcome no matter where you’re from.” The events he has in mind should do just that. The grand re-opening on St. Patrick’s Day was a joyous combination of drinks, food and entertainment with a line out the door. He plans to have a similar jamboree for Mothers’ Day, free pool on Saturdays, live music and the return of Sunday potlucks sprinkled in so that there is always something going on at the Logger Bar. “You’ll hear a lot of stories in the bar,” Fields said. And a couple hours with him and the patrons on the barstools next to me proved him right. The Logger Bar has led many lives throughout its long history and it’s come a long way from its past as a place to find a fight. And now it’s ready for a new round of stories.

Secondhand Style At Redwood Retro and Brainwash Thrift By Carly Wipf

WHETHER YOU’RE looking to sport that perfect ’90s-grunge look or ’60s-inspired hippie vibe, Redwood Retro has you covered. Nestled in the heart of Old Town Eureka, Redwood Retro specializes in vintage clothing from the year 2000 back to the 1950s. Upon entering, you’ll find not just clothes, but retro home decor, jewelry and accessories. If you’re lucky, you might hear a local band playing on the TV-shaped stage — a nostalgic reminder of early MTV — as you hunt for that killer tie-dyed Grateful Dead T-shirt.

“A personal focus for us is ’60s, ’70s psychedelic, so we’re really into groovy patterns, vibrant colors, bell bottoms,” said Jayna Nix, co-owner of Redwood Retro. Nix particularly loves selling vintage Western wear (think pearl snaps and fringe-leather suede jackets). One tactic the couple uses to freshen their supply is seeking out deadstock — clothes that a store once bought for its inventory, but never sold. “We just got this big haul of vintage Western pants that are like from the ’60s or ’70s and they’re brand-new with tags,

and they’ve just kind of been preserved in time,” Nix said. Redwood Retro also highlights Humboldt-specific wear, such as vintage Reggae on the River tees and shirts featuring local landmarks. “We have a shirt that we found from Hayfork, California, and it says, ‘In the Bigfoot country,’ and it’s a Bigfoot graphic and along the foot, it says ‘Smith River, Klamath River, Trinity Mad River, Van Duzen Eel River,” Nix said. “Just really nostalgic Humboldt pieces that honor and highlight the history of this place that we live in.”


REDWOOD RETRO

211 G St., Eureka (707) 601-9667 On Instagram @theredwoodretro www.theredwoodretro.com Open daily, noon to 6 p.m.

For Nix, fashion runs in the family. Her great-grandfather had a clothing store up the street from Redwood Retro called Arthur Johnson Clothing Co., a store that survived the Great Depression, according to the Clarke Historical Museum website. “It’s really special to have a clothing-based business still in Old Town after what my great-grandfather had there,” Nix said. But it was her partner Benjamin Blair’s love for vintage — inspired by going to garage sales with his grandmother — that ultimately pushed the pair to open Redwood Retro in 2020. In one year, the team turned their passion into a thriving business based on the earth-friendly practice of recycling old pieces. While the store has existing relationships with local vintage vendors, community members can sell items to the store in exchange for cash or store credit. “It’s all very much curated, which is a little bit different than an average thrift store, where we don’t take any donations of any kind,” Nix said. “We source everything ourselves, so everything is unique and special.” Redwood Retro also has

modern retro-inspired items whose sales support local makers: stained glass art, new clothing fashioned from vintage fabric, hand-dyed shirts and dresses. It also hosts Old Town Vintage Market, featuring vintage sellers and artists from across Humboldt County on the third Sunday of every month. SMALL BUT MIGHTY, Brainwash Thrift is a secondhand haven designed with BIPOC and LGBTQ+ expression in mind. “This has been our overarching goal as a business: to take space in like majority-white Humboldt, where there’s not a lot of places for people of color to go and openly feel safe and welcomed — and same with queer people,” said Kait “Kiki” Angus, the owner of Brainwash Thrift. Angus, who identifies as a queer, half-Cree, half-Mohawk Indigenous woman, was born in Canada and grew up on a reservation. She relocated to Humboldt in 2019 to be closer to her partner’s family and opened Brainwash Thrift in June of 2021. She’s determined to create a safe space where LGBTQA and BIPOC individuals can gather and shop without fear or ostracization or discrimination, Angus said. → HUMBOLDTINSIDER.COM

BRAINWASH THRIFT

40 Sunnybrae Center, Arcata (707) 630-3243 On Instagram @brainwashthrift www.brainwashthrift.com

HUMBOLDT INSIDER

An important aspect of that business model is being size-inclusive. Angus literally went the extra mile and then some, traveling to Sacramento and Los Angeles to fulfill the store’s promise of featuring clothes that fit all bodies. “We just were not finding that through just local sourcing and so we were traveling a lot to get those plus-sized pieces,” Angus said, adding that Brainwash takes donations of all sizes but recently implemented a buy-sell-trade deal for plus-sized clothing. While the store has only been around for less than a year, it had big goals for expanding. On Feb. 2, Angus opened Prism Gallery Arcata next to the thrift shop. “We generally promote by POC artists and queer artists, though we like prioritize those marginalized people, we still have our doors open to everybody,” Angus said. “So, after 2022

those priority calls have gone out, then we bring in everyone else and it’s basically kind of like a little maker’s store, and so people can come and shop in there and support local artists by purchasing their stuff.” On April 8, the team opened another store called Kiki Planet, a size-inclusive lifestyle shop selling new clothes and accessories. The store, doused in hot pink paint and glitter, features a stage for drag shows and other performances. Brainwash Thrift reopened in April with a secondhand art supply stock — a move Angus made to better connect the thrift store and gallery, as well as to give BIPOC artists a spot to display their work and buy supplies. She hopes the feel will be similar to Scrap Humboldt, a sustainable creative reuse nonprofit that shuttered in 2020. “[Scrap Humboldt had] like a huge bin of buckles, or a

huge bin of recycled orange medicine bottles,” Angus said. “They had just the craziest assortment of all kinds of stuff and so we’re kind of trying to do that but on a much smaller scale because our space is super tiny.” Angus hopes to use the new businesses to make her secondhand efforts more sustainable and she is thankful to have received an outpouring of community support during expansion. “We’re really proud of what we’ve created,” Angus said. “Diversifying our space gives people another reason to come in … even if you’re not really shopping for clothes, you might come in and find something else.”

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.

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 when COVID-19 conditions allow, you can tool around town and see what local artists, artisans and musicians young and old are creating — maybe even take a piece home.

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 replica 1949 Memorial Lighthouse honoring those lost or buried at sea, and take in the view and the sea air. You can tour the 1871 Trinidad Head Lighthouse (a working navigational aid) from 10 AM. to noon on the first Saturday of every month. In summer, the annual Fish Festival and Blackberry Festival bring in folks from all over.

Willow Creek ← Head east to Willow Creek for "river fun in the mountain sun." Cool off at Camp Kimtu Beach, raft, kayak or find a quiet spot along the Trinity River and fish. Located in the Six Rivers National Forest, the area's natural beauty beckons campers, hikers and bird watchers, alike. Drive scenic State Route 96 through Bigfoot Country, the region with the the most Sasquatch sightings in the nation. Swing into the China Flat Museum to explore the lore and take a selfie with Bigfoot's 25-foot redwood likeness.

Home to Cal Poly Humboldt, 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 when COVID-19 conditions allow.

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 Baduwa't 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.

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 as COVID-19 conditions allow, when the streets fill up with folks touring the shops, restaurants and galleries for local art and live music. humboldtinsider.com

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.

e Cre

2 Kilometers 2 Miles

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.

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.

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 comings and goings of humanity make Shelter Cove a singular American destination.
