I am surprised not to see Sequoia Park, the Zoo, and Skywalk on the list!
So true. My cousin came from Nebraska just to see the Sky Walk. We took them to the Blue Ox too which they thoroughly enjoyed.
Those poor passengers unless you do meth eureka sucks!
They’ll be OK. I think they’ve been to Sentinel Island.
I took a bunch of departure photos when The World was here in Eureka 14 years ago. This image shows her entering the Humboldt Bay Bar on 7/1/2012.

These are great!
Outside of visiting the big trees,what Use to be one of the best tours in the area was Mill B at Pacific Lumber ,the economic building block for Humboldt county ,built in 1910.
1910 until 1985 when Charles Hurwitz bought PL and raped it. May he burn in hell.
I think everybody can agree with you on that!
Hear! Hear!
That’s the truth. I wrote an anti Hurwitz punk rock anthem in the 90s.
Redwood Summer!!!!
Pacific lumber was a great company! Hurawitz even cut out the Christmas presents for the kids. Not to mention getting rid of bonuses, cut pay, and tripled production
