Humbolt County is also a real nice place to live. Besides all the growers there ...you have some of the most beautiful Redwoods anywhere in the world. If it didnt rain so much i would live there. As it is i live the County next to Humbolt....and i wont even go into how the fishing off the coast there is great. The Dunes for ATV riding are awesome too.....just a quick one hour from Eureka and you can be in Gold Country. I am thinking of Retiring there, tho it rains and rains and rains....but when it doesent.....beautiful does not do the area justice.
