I was born in Fortuna. Gave birth to both my babies in Arcata. This is a special place. Its incredibly unique. For such a small area, we have people from all over the world here. Its always so interesting when I find videos about Humboldt.
Well if you want more videos of Humboldt I have about a dozen more! It's also interesting that you have a positive feeling towards Humboldt County. As you can see in the comments, not everyone agrees. :/
I wonder how high Jolly Giant Creek is now after all the flooding. I haven't heard much about Arcata or Eureka in the news with regard to all the flooding, but they must have had their share. I graduated from 'Humboldt State University' in 76. You did a great job on this video.
That is a good question. From what I can tell in news reports, the heaviest rain was to the south, but Humboldt County still got a lot---but not to a catastrophic level. I am glad you liked the video, I tried to give a fair look at what the town was like. There are several others about Humboldt County, as well. :)
The creek is fine. No flooding so far. The city has invested huge time and energy over recent decades restoring its urban waterways so they can do their job, and they are.
My friend had a black bear and her cub behind their tent when they woke up and ended up wandering in the middle of Tom and I saw a mountain lion literally I could pet it and I realized it can eat me
I wonder if UA-cam suggests videos by location? This video gets a lot of views, and I wonder who the audience is. My guess is that it's tourists or perspective students.
Yep, I got home five days before the earthquake happened---I am just uploading all my videos now. It was close to my mother's house, but she is safe. I have another video taken very close to where the epicenter would be.
@@glowingfish Lol, sorry... I was 19. My buddy and I just spent the summer zig-zagging the country to Arcata from Michigan hitchhiking. My Aunt lived in McKinleyville. Learned to climb redwoods there and worked for almost 6 years doing powerline clearance, then residential over some insanely miraculous homes from there to Willow Creek. What a ride. Thanks for the vid~
@@tymesho I don't know if I talked about this in the video, but I am actually not a "local" to the region exactly. I first visited for a week in 2006, and visited a few more times, before living in Eureka for a year in 2019-2020, then visiting two more times. So I have been there enough times to get a feel for things, but I am not really local.
@@glowingfish Well, dOrK mE wouldn't think of THAT! LOL. Back then it was WAY countrified, hippie style. Folks were so mellow, though the gals didn't wash much. (kidding, kinda) That sandwich shop fed me for a couple years! Sangguiches were awesome for a good price. Just a great place to be a kid, let me tell ya'. I got lucky and became friends with some cats who grew up there. Crazy, but in a cool way. They showed me everything! Fish, I do thank ya' for jarring the old memories. (Also, this is when the very first buds of the Sinsemilla strain were being developed, buds as big as your forearm, and local freaks on the precipice of becoming rich beyond their dreams. The banana slugs never seen it comin', by gawd!
I was raised in Arcata, and have to thank you for showing the truth. Awesome sneery and the reason why. I will always call the "big school on the hill , Arcata Collage of the Redwoods. I left in 1961 and was shocked in 69 when I went back. And again in 1978, what a culture change. Liberals took over., I was shocked. But , now in 2023, I see what has happened. Not good, even for a small town like Arcata California..... A
@@kingtrance307 There is nothing progressive about Arcata, unless you think we're progressing towards a homeless camp dominated by screaming college kids from some other county
I've lived in Eureka since 1950 and attended HSC. Ever since Arcata started waving the Earth Flag above the American Flag I have stayed away and have no intentions of going back.
My daughter graduated from Humboldt State in 2022!!! So proud!!!
Awesome!

I graduated from Fortuna High, and my son graduated there also. I was born in Scotia though, in 1951

Arcata is very close to a lot of wildlife, it is true.
Huh…stumbled upon this. I live in Arcata!

Same😂
It's Beautiful I visited there once so beautiful
I also liked it! :) I wish I could have shown more areas in and around Arcata!
I hope your safe out there since that Earthquake yesterday.

Removing the statue was like ripping the heart out of the plaza.
Very much Ohio is on my bucket list now
Bro i walked past this every single day for school
Yep, that is why I used this as a thumbnail, it is immediately recognizable.
Is that great little sandwich shop still there from around '78-'79?
I don't know...I wasn't even born until 1979! :)

Hole in the wall ain't going anywhere
I lived in those bushes
That sounds like an interesting story!

I don't know what you say in my video that made Arcata look "not good".
“Liberals took over” 😂 It’s always been a progressive community.

I go here 👌 engineering very nice 👍.
Glad you like it! How long have you been there.
Westside Pizza
The one I went to was Paul's Live From New York Pizza, but I think there were other pizza restaurants I might have shown.
Mazotties had good pizza

There seems to be a variety of opinions of the city, but that is why this video is here. This just shows a few hours of my experience.
How could any earthling be anti-earth flag, lol
@@heidiho3089 Well, Martians and their ilk are also welcome in my comment section! :)
No one will miss you either Steve.
@@kingtrance307 Hahaha! Most of them don't stay sober enough to miss anything.
