There will also be delays at the south end of Bell Springs Rd on the 11th and 12th due to Dust Off application.

There will probably also be delays when the road crews wheel falls off on the way there, on one of the potholes as numerous as star in the milky way.

Lol right? they need to repave the whole road instead of the sloppy fill 3 holes and leave treatment that happens every few months if we’re lucky. Wonder how much tax money the county has collected from residents up AP and bell springs rd the past few years🤔

The county road crews need some level of accountability, and not to have their budgets increase because they neglected to do their job the year before, or in this case years. And when they do actually grade the road they know they are doing it wrong, just a band aid instead of taking the time to fix it. Because if it’s worse shape the next year they get more money

In truth I’ve seen county workers filling in pot holes by rushing shovelfulls of cold patch between driving cars. I don’t think it’s the general run of county maintenance people as much as it’s awful priorities of the board of supervisors and the State. They would rather spend on a bunch on dubious high profile , feel good progams than do the unglamorous maintenance work, each hoping that some higher level of government will give them some grant money if it becomes bad enough.

It’s is impressive that they keep the roads open, they have mastered the technique of putting up stop signs and waiting for it to rain again.

Bell Springs Road is categorized as a delay. Period.

If you need to drive on this cow-path, you will be late.

Bell Springs cow-path is not even a road, as I understand it. It is an adventure, and, an education. It is not a place to drive…

Tourists are warned to steer clear of this part of Humboldt. Nothing to see East of Garberville!

Actually, tourists, everywhere west of Garberville is pretty fucked-up too…
Including Garberville!

Best to stick to the State Parks, and Oregon…

Humboldt is scary, on a good day…

The county road crews are mostly a bunch of hard working guys & gals. Instead of b!tching about the job they do and the delays it causes you, maybe slow down and be courteous. These ppl are treated like hell when they’re out in ALL weather doing the best they can with what they’re given to work with trying to maintain roads for YOU.

Trying would imply effort, they don’t do it for me, they do it for a paycheck because I pay taxes, it’s not charity work. I’m sorry that I think somebody should actually do the job they are paid to do.
