Humboldt County California, SoHum, southern Humboldt County California, happenings in Humboldt

Are you ready to rumble?

Southern Humboldt, (the Garberville-Redway area and 30 miles in each direction) is home to a few very large events each year. Usually the Redwood Run – a Harley Davidson weekend is the 2nd week end in June, but delayed because of bridge repairs needed from last winters storms, is actually this weekend.

This event brings 1000’s of Harleys to the tiny town of Garberville, the rumble is constant, it’s a fun event if you like Harleys, to party hearty, country music with a little rock thrown in and have generally right wing attitudes.

I like looking at the bikes all lined up down main street on Saturday morning, will actually try to get out there and take some pictures this year if i am in town.

We often escape the rumble by staying out at the little house we are building that is 13 miles west of town and 3 1/2 miles down a private dirt road.

Much quieter.

Summer Arts & Music 2003

Great fun fair.. pictures coming soon.
Sunny a bit too windy and warm but not uncomfortable.
This is a large arts/crafts/music festival on the Eel River at Benbow State Park.
It is the place where locals go to re-unite with their friends and neighbors after a long winter.
You will see everyone there…

The highlight this year for me was a steel drum band from Arcata called Pan Dulce!! There was at least 25 drummers!!

The low down for me was..

People wanting to suck me dry about web-design/digital photos and general computer stuff. Now I don’t really mind this sort of thing.. but sometimes..well it gets to me. Some would never consider hiring me .. yet they want the knowledge. I just went and looked at a website someone is making .. and asking a lot of questions about, but this site is so bad I don’t even want to comment on it.. and it is for a bunch of professionals..oh well…in time it will come to them that paying someone to do it right might just be in their best interests.

I guess just having a web presence is what they are after, although if I went there and saw that site I wouldn’t ‘buy’ anything from them.

just my 2cents..
