One of the side-effects of living in a sparcely populated county, comes the call for regular civic…read moreduty - so I get called for jury duty seriously once a year. Have for years, always with the same group of people helping you through the process, always professional, friendly and kind. For an experience most folks dread almost as much as having a tooth pulled, our county clerks make it about as painless as can be. 8:30 am check in is the toughest part by far, once inside the juror selection room things move fairly quickly all considering that literally every person in the room just wants to get out of there. Fill out their paperwork, after about enough time for them to review it all - here comes the call, one by one those released and you obligation as a citizen has been met once more. Once again never selected, so until next year when we repeat this civic duty all over again. 4 Stars - for a rural county in northern California it moves pretty quick. 00671

We had just had brunch at the Cafe Brio and decided they would try doing their drawing in the Arcata Library. The librarians there were the most rude individuals we have encountered in our travels. I feel sorry for the city of Arcata to have these individuals representing their city. Needless to say we won't be returning, and it definitely left us feeling unwelcome in this city.

This is a beautiful modern pier nestled in the relatively calm waters of Trinidad. The "new pier"…read morereplaced the "old pier" several years ago, but the primary purpose remains the same: supporting commercial fishing and crabbing operations seasonally. The last hundred feet or so of the pier is designated only for commercial fishing operators, but the rest of this private pier is open to the public. The environment surrounding this pier is breathtaking, with huge headlands towering above either side of the pier, and a gorgeous view of the rocky coastline down towards Humboldt Bay. I visited this pier twice during Thanksgiving week, fishing and crabbing in the evening with my boys. We caught a few small rockfish and white croaker, and several small crabs that were well below the size limit. Can't wait to come back here.

Taking a short walk on a long pier is better than the other way around - believe you me, especially…read moreif you do it early in the morning after the fishing boats have left. It's California's northernmost oceanfront pier (if that kind of trivia excites you) - and indeed it's eighty miles south of the Oregon border. Just for your reference, the crabbing baskets were decoratively stacked at the end of the pier (photo: http://bit.ly/355OWY8), and the surrounding scenery was near-storybook. I didn't try the Seascape Restaurant at the front of the pier, but the next time I need chowder, I'll be so there. Pretty spot it is indeed. RELATED - Lost on the Lost Coast?

Needed to mail a package while in Eureka Ca and I found this Post Office conveniently located…read moredowntown on H Street. The building looks like a historic building and when you walk into the lobby its like your going back in time. The old tile work is cool and neat to see the old mailboxes. I went about 10am and they had no line, I was able to get in and out. Lots of free parking around the building. They have free USPS shipping boxes and they sell tape and other size boxes if you need them.. The clerks were very professional and polite. Glad I found this spot and I would certainly return if I have to mail something again.

What I Love about this library is that you can reap the benefits of various resources especially if…read moreyou're at HSU student or alumni. For instance you can rent out books, articles or scientific periodicals from other California state universities and I was told also order from international Universities. The benefit of being a grad school is that you can have books up to one year until return date is due and rent out their cam corders and camera for an extended period of time . I started off at this school in 2017 and I definitely have seen many renovations through the years including the café, study rooms, tall shelving and interactive group desks, where group members can meet an use a TV to connect to class projects or the Internet. Till this day the library still has a glass case where they display a wide assortment of clubs, issues and events on campus, with nice added touches of regalia/memorabilia! I highly appreciate the fact that this library recycles electronics this can be found at the exit of the library in the main entrance.

I don't feel like I am bothering her with my questions so I have learned a few things. Like, the boxes provided at the post offices are designed to be handled by machine so the rate is cheaper. If you bring your own box it has to be hand stamped and hand carried so the rate is higher. Also, the boxes are self stick so no use for tape. * I have seen her be most courteous to some really rude people. Her service was the same for every person in her line. I have worked retail and I know how difficult it is to be nice to someone when they are demanding, rude & obnoxious. She handles it like a pro.

The Trinidad Memorial Lighthouse is situated in the parking lot of Trinidad State Beach. It's not a…read morefunctioning lighthouse but serves as a memorial for those lost at sea. There are 2 lighthouses in Trinidad, the Trinidad Head Lighthouse which is only open once a month on the first Saturday and the Trinidad Memorial Lighthouse. I'd recommend hiking trail (listed as Trinidad Head/Tsurai Loop on AllTrails) next to it which had magnificent views of the ocean and bay, many benches to sit and look at the view, and was scattered with wildflowers like California poppies and daisies. The trail is a loop about 2 miles. On AllTrails it lists the 'Lighthouse Observation Deck' which I erroneously thought was the other lighthouse. It was basically just a small staircase to an ocean view.

Monument for those buried at sea [Trinidad CA]…read more I wasn't sure if this Yelp page was for the concrete memorial lighthouse (or is it a replica) or of the one off of Edwards Street. Either way both are remembering those who perished at sea. The memorial on Edward's Street is a pyramid shaped marble slab engraved with sea gulls and the words "Lost At Sea," with names listed on the plaques. As more names were added through the years additional plaques were placed along the adjacent cement retaining wall. There were so many names it was sad to see and reminded me of the movie "the Perfect Storm" [2000] with George Clooney and Mark Wahlberg. The movie was based on a true story where the boat of the crew of six was caught in a storm and disappeared with no survivors. In 2012, we saw the memorial in Gloucester, Massachusetts inscribed with the names of those men. So sad. The memorials in Trinidad are free to visit. It looks like the lighthouse has moved a couple of times but it was at the harbor area where we saw the lighthouse and fog bell which served as a permanent location for the monument. Both memorial locations were adorned with wreaths during the Memorial Day weekend. The Axel Lindgren Memorial Trail on Edwards Street was currently not available due to erosion. Review #3777
