NOW, FRIENDS, IS NOT THE TIME TO LOCK IN Now is the season of dri ing along with the current, at least for the weekend. Make waves while the sun shines.
This issue of the Insider has a slew of sloweddown activities to enjoy at your leisure. Flip through our Perfect Trips and plan (or don’t plan) your meanderings. Pick up a few words in Soulatluk, the language of Wiyot people, for the flora and fauna you encounter strolling the trails and beaches. Stop for low-pressure snacks from dumplings to waffle cones, then dip your toes in the local poetry and arts scene.
Should gazing out onto the water give you the urge to paddle out, we’ve got the lowdown on all the Humboldt Bay Aquatic Center has to offer in the way of kayak rentals, tours and lessons. The best view of the bay, Wigi in Soulatluk, is from the middle of it.
Keep the mellow mood going at mealtime, too. Shelter Cove’s seaside Gyppo Ale Mill has pitchers and scratch-made pub fare to enjoy on the deck with a view of the rocky coast and
breezes off the Pacific Ocean.
Or come as you are — as long as you show up hungry — to the Redwood Palace for perfect, unfussy steaks and homemade carrot cake. Speaking of unfussy, a shot and a PBR await you at Ernie’s, a welcoming dive bar perfect for letting down your hair and letting a few darts fly.
If you’re looking for something to soak your cares away, you’ll want to stop into Bubbles, a local institution for house-formulated soaps, body care and fragrance oils. We’ve also got a primer on calming cannabis in the form of hash oil and rosins for those who are new to them.
In the back of the issue, you’ll find our seasonal calendar of events with entertainment and activities for everyone (see more at northcoastjournal.com), as well as our Menu of Menus restaurant guide.
Go forth and go with the flow.

Out on the Water
With the Humboldt Bay Aquatic Center

OVERLOOKING THE WATERFRONT IN OLD TOWN
Eureka, the Humboldt Bay Aquatic Center (HBAC) is one of the easiest and most exciting ways to get out on the water this summer. With a friendly, knowledgeable sta and a wide range of rental options, HBAC makes exploring Humboldt’s myriad waterways accessible for adventurers of all skill and experience levels.
The Humboldt Bay Aquatic Center is operated by Cal Poly Humboldt as part of its Outdoor Adventures Program, and is dedicated to ge ing students, community members and visitors on the water safely and confidently. Home to both Cal Poly Humboldt’s men’s and women’s nationally ranked crew teams, the HBAC is a hub for all things watersports. Aquatic gear — such as canoes, kayaks, stand-up paddleboards — can be picked up on a drop-in basis any time the
center is open. Wetsuits, helmets and booties are among the a la carte items to choose from to round out your adventure. Didn’t pack your sailboat? No problem. For those with sailing experience, sailboat rentals and boat launch are available on site.
The rental process itself is refreshingly simple. Walk-in rentals are available Thursday through Sunday, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., making it easy to fit a paddle into a long weekend or spontaneous day trip. Just stop by during open hours, check in with sta and get set up with your gear. Prices are laid out plainly on the HBAC website, with discounts for CPH students. All equipment rentals include lifejackets (or “personal floatation devices,” as the outdoorsy types know them). With a warehouse full of gear, HBAC can also typically accommodate a large group on the fly.
Humboldt Bay itself is an excellent se ing for all skill levels. Its protected waters make it a great place for beginners to learn the ropes without feeling overwhelmed, and there’s still plenty to see. Woodley Island Marina and wetlands, the historic Old Town Waterfront and more close to the launch area. For more experienced paddlers and boaters, the vast Humboldt Bay and beyond are your oyster. Plus, changing conditions keep things interesting.
If another scenic Humboldt location floats your boat, you’re not limited to the immediate launch area. Rented gear can be used in other appropriate waterways throughout the county, giving you the option to explore the multitude of scenic areas Humboldt has to o er. Sta can help you get intel on other great places to kayak, canoe, paddleboard and more. Gear and equipment are rentable by the weekend or week, if you are planning an extended excursion.
Not quite sure what mode of transportation to choose? Helpful sta can lend a hand. The team at HBAC takes the time to help match you with the right equipment based on your experience level, goals and the day’s conditions. They’ll walk you through the basics, answer questions, and help assess whether
your intended location and plan are a good fit. This extra layer of support makes a big di erence — especially in a place like Humboldt Bay, where tides and weather can shi quickly. For those who like a bit more structure, HBAC also o ers drop-in kayak tours on Saturdays and Sundays. These guided outings are a great way to explore the bay with added insight and a bit of local storytelling along the way. If your excursion has the youth in your life excited about spending more time on the water, be sure to inquire about week-long summer camps where the kiddos can get an in-depth experience with kayaking, paddleboarding and more. Recreational and educational opportunities for big kids (adults) are also available throughout the year. Drop by the front desk or check the HBAC website for more information about rentable equipment, safety classes, guided tours, summer camps and more.

Perfect Trips for Spring and Summer
By Meg Wall-Wild
All the signs of summer are here! Like the fabulous Wiyot language signs you see popping up along the Eureka boardwalk. Once you see one, you start seeing them everywhere. Like when your feet carry you along ancient paths like the Vou’gul Trail, named for the delicious huckleberries that sustained the people.
Celebrate the bounty of Humboldt’s coast all summer long through festival and food. Feast on the artistic o erings for the ear and eye. Don’t forget the fam! Your children will be expanding their knowledge of slime science, so ice cream rewards are in order (for you, too). Get some sand in your shoes and have a happy Humboldt summer.

Humboldt has the right beach for you. Each has its own charms, but all come with the same warning: Sneaker waves are called that for a reason. Best to keep an eye on the Pacific Ocean no ma er where you roam. For those who like a stroll, Clam Beach (1100 Clam Beach Drive south day use lot; north day use lot 1 mile north) lets you chat with your friends as you cover approximately 1.5 miles of flat sand. The best part?
Clam Beach has an ADA rubber mat that runs through the dunes to the beach, with strips to park wheelchairs so everyone can watch the glorious sunset and ocean or laugh at dogs playing in the surf (they are allowed o leash here if under voice control). You might even see passing horses. The mat path is accessible through the north parking lot. The south parking lot leads to a boardwalk through the Strawberry Creek wetlands (expanded by a few industrious beavers before they moved on). Day use parking lots are locked at sunset, with time posted as it changes with the seasons. You can park on Clam Beach Drive until midnight if the moonlight beckons.
If you are up for more of a challenge, head to Lu enholtz Beach (1639 Scenic Drive, Trinidad; parking lot at Tepona Point, with stair access just north
by parking pullout). This gem is nestled in the rocky coast between McKinleyville and Trinidad, just north of Houda Point. Check out Tepona Point, which overlooks Lu enholtz Beach from above so you can see the beauty that waits for you. Discover the secluded strip of coarse sand at the bo om of steep stairs (without railings) that wind through rocks and vegetation. This is a wild place, with creatures feasting in tidal pools at low tide, dangerous waves at high tide (not recommended), and kimuk (Soulatluk for whale) sightings during migration. Photographers cherish the stunning sunsets backdropping Trinidad Head. Before you leave, turn and sit at the top of the stairs. You might see a few Brandt’s Cormorants diving into the waves looking for their next meal. Take care: Scenic Drive is narrow, has intermi ent gravel portions and is traveled by gawking drivers and bicyclists. You will soon see why they gawk. Spectacular.
Perhaps you prefer a more varied landscape. The 937-acre Ma-le’l Dunes (South Unit, Vera Linda Lane, Arcata; Bureau of Land Management, 707-825-2300; North Unit, North Ma-le’l Dunes Road, Arcata; Humboldt Bay National Wildlife Refuge, 707-733-5406) has salt marshes and paths winding up and down

through tall trees. And wadulh, of course (Soulatluk for sand dunes). These treasured coastal dunes have an ecosystem all their own, earning it its National Natural Landmark status. The road to the North Unit is open Friday through Monday, and although the gate is locked Tuesday through Thursday, you can still visit by hiking 3/4 mile. The road is a section of the aptly named Tsoutsgish Trail that leads to the banks of Baduwa’t/Mad River Slough. Bring your binoculars for tsoutsgish (birds). Only pedestrians are allowed in the North Unit to protect secluded wildlife habitat that is part of the National Natural Landmark. The 206-acre South Unit welcomes dogs and horses, but please keep them on designated trails and the waveslope to protect delicate dune habitat.

Foodies
Begin at the beginning with a breakfast at Big Blue Cafe (846 G St., Arcata; 707-8406111) that keeps you tanked up all day. The crowd-pleasing Karen’s Potatoes come under a blanket of eggs of your choice or tofu scramble to savor with guacamole. Colorful veg mingled with jack and cheddar cheeses conspire to make this bowl. There’s no need to choose if you order the sampler that comes with home fries smothered in house gravy (vegan available). Be warned that your dining partner may reach over because that gravy must be shared. Did I mention they have biscuits? Maybe it’s best to order your own gravy.
The solution to your party’s disparate lunch needs waits for you at Tasty Hub (935 Fi h St., Eureka). This sweet spot hosts a variety of food trucks so you always know where to find your favorites. Carne asada street tacos sprinkled with cilantro and onion from Happy Taco can please one while the other heads over to Spring Chicken for some crispy tofu spring rolls. You might choose the Queen of Pupusas, aka Mi Riconcito Salvador. For a great taste of El Salvador, try the loroco (a tasty Central American flower) and cheese pupusa. Then there is the yum of YumYum Kitchen, serving up Hmong sausages and Mekong ribs. Tasty Hub feeds Humboldt lunch and dinner. Check out its social media for rotating truck schedules and the menus.

Auntie Hao’s (1642 Holly St., McKinleyville; 707-834-0425; Thursday-Saturday) knows how to take care of you. Her pork and lotus root dumplings always hit the spot. The lamb buns are a nice treat with their neat packaging. Dishes like gingery huang men chicken come heaped on beds of rice. Auntie Hao’s food truck is located in front of Auto Spa Car Wash with spaces for you to pull up and wait on the east end of the lot. Which will be hard a er you smell the order of the lucky person who got there before you did. Like all good aunties, she has comfort food waiting to tame that a er-work hunger. A hot bowl of ramen or udon noodles soothes, or you can burn it o with spicy kung pau Chicken. Either way you don’t have to cook.
Art Lovers
Humboldt’s bright cultural stars fill up your summer nights with sinuous words and your days with blazing artworks. From a simple verse to epics, poetry has been with us from the start. A Reason to Listen at Septentrio Tasting Room (650 Sixth St., Arcata; 707672-2058; @humboldtpoetryslam; cover charge cash or Venmo), brings local poets straight to your ear. Joy, pain or puns, poetry is the voice of the people. Let their voices inspire you to take the stage yourself. Founded in 2004 by Therese FitzMaurice and Vanessa Vrtiak, A Reason to Listen is Humboldt’s longest-running live poetry event. Set your calendar alarm for the first Thursday of the month from 7 to 9 p.m. (sign up starts at 6:30 p.m.). You have plenty of time to sharpen that pencil and get scratching.
Enchanting po ery creatures peer out the window of the Canvas & Clay (272 C St., Eureka; 707-443-1428), waiting for you to take them home. The front of the building houses the Cheri Blackerby Portfolio Gallery, with artworks of all media. Step inside (or call ahead) and ask about the tour. Your guide might be a charmer named Eric who will proudly show you his artworks as well as that of his fellow artists. The amount of creativity exploding o the walls is breathtaking. Canvas & Clay gives artists of varying abilities an inclusive,

bright space to express themselves. Since its founding in 1997 as The Studio, dedicated sta and volunteers have nurtured the artists’ self-esteem and self-reliance while also spreading joy. You can support this amazing organization by donating art supplies, money or time, if you can teach a class or play music at Arts Alive events. Some of the artists are on hand to meet you so the painting you take home has even more meaning. Be sure to see the mixed media models the creators use in their own movies, available on their YouTube channel Canvas and Clay Video Workshop. Keep your eyes on their social media for special events.
Head to the Redwood Art Association Gallery (603 F St., Eureka; 707-268-0755) to see creations that demanded the artist get it all out on whatever media they have
on hand. Stop in to see the exhibit North Coast Lens Held in cooperation with the Redwood Camera Club, the exhibit showcases the artists who see the world through a viewfinder. Humboldt’s oldest arts organization was founded in 1956, so the talent on display spans generations. Check the online exhibit schedule to see what’s literally up (on the walls). Get ready for the upcoming eighth annual Humboldt Open Paint Out with a plein air painting class or pick up the pencils and join a life drawing session. Thank the RAA for giving you a gallery’s worth of art along the airport walls to look at as you wait to board your flight, too.

As adults we get to be responsible for childhood joy. One of the delights of childhood can be found in the Take a Trinket, Leave a Trinket box located in front of Humboldt’s Hometown Store (394 Main St., Ferndale; 707-496-0588). This repurposed newspaper box opens to reveal a selection of teeny treasures. Watch li le faces light up as their eyes feast on a collection of baubles. Make sure they bring a trinket to trade, something of li le monetary value that can fit in the palm of their hand. Leave a plastic tyrannosaurus rex or a shell bracelet — you get it. This is a fun way to teach them about sharing and recycling as they trade a tiny charm that makes them yawn for one that makes them giggle. The trinket trade box community art trend started during the pandemic and since then they have popped up all over, with 1,200 of them listed on the Worldwide Sidewalk Joy website. Visit Ferndale’s and see why kids love them. Want to witness contagious childhood joy? Take the family for an ice cream wa e cone at Arcata Scoop (1068 I St., Arcata 707-825-7266). The joy comes not just from child-pleasing ice cream made with fresh strawberries from Deep Seeded Farm, but by simply walking in the door. Colorful creatures carved by local artists enchant the li le ones as you wait for your delicious treats. The gira es are guaranteed to stop your kids in their tracks. Until they turn to see the galloping rabbit they can ride (if under 100 lbs). So many flavors but absolutely no corn syrup goo in sight. How about a wa e bowl with a double scoop of lemon poppyseed and vanilla honey lavender for you? Scoops walks its low carbon footprint talk, locally sourcing organic ingredients and o ering reusable sample spoons. (Samples!) Ask about nondairy flavors like the delightful coconut sorbet. Sta will refill a reusable pint container, too. Though the so ginger molasses vanilla ice cream sandwich, like the wa e cone, is its own edible package.

Not Strictly for Tourists
Humboldt’s particular brand of cultural o erings easily lures you into learning something new. The celebration of culture could not be more profound than witnessing the Wiyot Tribe reestablishing their language on ancestral lands through the SpeakingSoulatluk project. Support this lingual renaissance by heading down to Eureka’s waterfront. Stroll the F Street boardwalk as you learn about Wigi (Humboldt Bay) and its wildlife. The main interpretive panel for this community project welcomes all with the traditional Hi jurrawiw ku wulasuk, meaning “I’m glad to see you.” It also directs you to Soulatluk resources including an online pronunciation guide to learn how to pronounce the area’s original word for harbor seal, hatswuptsi’r (has short fur). Scan a sign’s QR code to hear that Soulatluk word spoken. There are 15 signs along the railings and 15 ways to learn something wonderful.
What would summer be without the Gathering of the People? Dell’Arte International’s annual Baduwa’t Festival (131 H St., Blue Lake; June 15
through Aug. 23) beckons you to enjoy music, comedy, film and more. An outpouring of creativity unfolds as workshops teach the proud tradition of physical comedy. Learn to create your own variety show or immerse yourself in Clown Core. This year’s play Mary Jane the Musical 2: The Grandson continues the saga of SoHum growers with a bash like no other. Kids Day opens the door for the li le jester in training, sparking minds that now see the world through creativity. They’ll also love the Annie and Mary Day Parade. Check dellarte.com to make sure you don’t miss a single thing.
Miss your garden back home? Stroll the sweet-smelling McKinleyville Botanical Garden (795 Hiller Road, McKinleyville). Created and maintained by volunteers, the small garden focuses on native plants and those that are pro-pollinator and appeal to local birds.
Located in Hiller Park, it’s a scenic spot to rest a spell and listen to the ocean rolling into the nearby shore. To reach it, go west on Hiller Road to the parking lot for Hammond Trail and the soccer and dog parks. You’ll find the garden beside the playground.

The Ever-Eccen ic
Gyppo
SHELTER COVE MAY BE THE MOST REMOTE part of Humboldt County, with its own unique subculture and vibe. Isolated on the true Lost Coast, the village is home to approximately 800 year-round residents, who brave seasonal sea winds in exchange for some of the most dramatic scenery in Northern California.
While lacking a true downtown, Shelter Cove is host to a very unique set of local businesses, most geared towards summer tourism traffic. Particularly of note is the wide breadth and variety of restaurants relative to Shelter Cove’s small size, most of which are clustered around the enclave’s small airport.
Perhaps the best known of these food establishments is the Gyppo Ale Mill, a brewpub with a lot to offer. The Gyppo is a brewery, cocktail lounge, restaurant, music venue and event space all rolled into one spectacular location. With ample outdoor seating and an ocean view that will make your jaw drop, it’s a perfect spot to end a day in the Cove.
First started by the husband-and-wife team of Julie Peacock and Josh Monschke in 2018, the business has survived thanks to a hands-on and flexible approach. Peacock runs much of the day to day while Monschke is mainly behind the brewing program.

“We run a bit differently than traditional restaurant or brewery models. We don’t have a layered management structure or executive chefs. Instead, we operate with strong department leads,” says Peacock of the Gyppo’s operating strategy, “It creates a more collaborative, accountable environment where everyone is close to the work and to each other, which feels especially important in a small, remote community like ours.”
That layered structure was apparent during a recent weekend visit. A lively bar is accompanied by restaurant-style indoor seating and more relaxed seating options outside, including fire pits, where Gyppo really shines. Live music was ongoing, and events including music and line dancing are constant on the establishment’s calendar. It’s a lot of options and activity under one roof.
Sitting down I immediately ordered a beer and took in the surrounds. The small brewery is attached to the main dining room and visible thru glass, a wonderful feature when visiting a brewpub. The Kentucky Common Ale (similar to an Amber or Red Ale) was crisp and refreshing while still full of sweet malt
flavor, a welcome relief from the overly hopped-up renditions that some brewers produce.
Balanced and food friendly seem to be a theme of the Gyppo’s beers, as a Mexican Lager tasted on a different occasion was also memorably refreshing with no bitter a ertaste. It’s the right idea for enjoying beverages outside with a Pacific breeze.
Peacock says of the Gyppo’s brewery and Monschke’s brewing, “It’s about consistency, cleanliness and process, and he’s built systems that allow the beers to stay consistent while still evolving. At the same time, many of our beers are inspired by personal experiences and flavors we’ve connected with …. Our Pah Le Ah Leh Pale Ale was inspired by a trip to Kauai that we received as a bonus while working on a farm.”
Peacock adds, “We’re also fortunate to have a well-designed brewhouse — a 10-barrel system that can be run by one person, along with a canning line that allows us to package in-house.”
Besides the brewery, the Gyppo recently gained a distilling license, which should add intrigue to an already very

complete cocktail program.
Gyppo Ale Mill
The cocktail menu has some clear classics, like the Moscow Mule, but also spins on traditional libations. Drinks like the Dirty Coast and Dirty Logger are respectively vodka- and gin-based cocktails that take a traditional Martini and do the work of ordering it dirty for you, a briny drink for the sea air.
The Gyppo also maintains a rotation of cocktail specials, and on this evening, I enjoyed one of those, a Cucumber Lime Cooler. It’s a simple enough blend of vodka, cucumber syrup, lime cordial and soda. But the ratios are right and the sweetness is just enough, with a clean crisp and refreshing profile. It’s clear this is a bar that knows how to handle its liquor. There are also a number of zero-proof cocktails and non-alcoholic beers on the menu.
Food at the Ale Mill is straightforward and matches well with the drinks program. Rockfish tacos were filling and fresh, with noticeably ample fish and accompaniments. The well-seasoned loaded tots had a very pleasant beer cheese paired with bacon and green onions.
The Gyppo Ale Mill is a unique multi-faceted experience worth visiting on a trip to the Cove. The drinks are great, the view is even better, and a full event schedule keeps the venue lively and well inhabited.
As Peacock puts it, the “Gyppo is very much a reflection of the Lost Coast — remote, a little rugged and deeply community oriented.”

A Feast Among Giants
At the Redwood Palace
Story and photos
by Jessica Silva
AMID MILES OF WILD FORESTLAND and meandering river valleys lie hidden pockets with must-eat restaurants that evade most people’s radars — those “if you know, you know” kind of places. Those of us with a wanderer’s spirit are constantly in search of something novel, something exceptional, something worth the journey it takes to get there — any excuse to get us out of town and on an adventure with something delicious waiting at the finish line. Up here in the rural north, excellence comes with a toned-down vibe compared to restaurants in the city. We trade extravagance, white glove service and delicate portions for rustic, hearty, no-frills beauty on a plate with the flavor to match.
Redwood Palace is situated along the main drag of Miranda, behind the old-
timey facade of a historic building adjacent to the post office. MaryJo Drews, owner of the building since 2017, designed a space filled with the warmth of polished redwood, so lighting, indoor and outdoor seating, and a long bar to cozy up to with a luscious slice of her homemade carrot cake. Drews’ original aspirations were to create a wine bar, but those plans quickly evolved out of necessity. While the building was used as a gi shop for a decade by the previous owners, it was a pizza parlor prior to that. “We decided to turn it back into a restaurant; it needed to be one because of the space. I had originally wanted to do a wine bar with small plates, not a full-on restaurant, but it just kind of happened this way. We added a bunch of taps, and people wanted more food,” she recalls.
Local wines, beer and cider at the bar.
↓ The shrimp scampi pasta.
→ Next page: The Redwood Palace’s famed ribeye steak.
Starting with 16 taps featuring local beer and cider, and a selection of local wines to boot, they developed the first iteration of their menu, consisting of pub fare — like wings and burgers — to complement the beer. But the current menu has turned into something quite different, with upscale apps and entrees, generously portioned and simply plated. Drews took a hands-on approach to the menu expansion, adding what would become their flagship entree: the Redwood Palace ribeye.
The ribeye rivals any steak in the county ($48). It’s a thickcut slab that dares you to try to finish it in one sitting, a bet most of us would lose. In a team effort, Drews hand-cuts all the ribeyes, and the chef seasons and diamond-grills each one to precise temp, topping them with an herby compound butter before they leave the kitchen. Mashers and broccolini (or another seasonal
vegetable) come on the side, creamy and crisp, respectively. On the chance you’re not in the mood for a massive steak, other meaty options include a local grass-fed beef burger ($18, double $26) or a half rack of St. Louis-style pork ribs, smoked in-house over applewood ($32).
But if you’re ready for a departure from meat altogether, go for the shrimp scampi pasta, a truly buttery and garlicky experience with jumbo shrimp over linguine, served with crusty garlic bread on the side ($30).
Along with variously sized charcuterie boards, fried bites and wings, Humboldt Bay oysters round out the appetizer menu. The oysters come raw in a classic mignonette style or broiled with garlic butter or buffalo sauce, served three or six to an order ($10-$22). Every one of the staff is trained to shuck oysters to order, so each half-shell is served fresh with care. The salads are visual treats, with fresh, crisp produce

— be warned, the small size is still a heaping portion. The goat cheese and golden beet salad is hard to pass up, with its tangy balsamic vinaigrette, bright and succulent beets, dollops of chevre and the satisfying crunch and sweetness of candied walnuts ($10, $16).
On a given night, Redwood Palace is filled with locals, from couples dining on oysters and wine, to families and solo diners treating themselves to a
post-work steak fit for a king. Drews says, “There’s something here for everyone. It’s a nice, relaxing, come-as-you-are space. You can be fancy or not — it’s laid back and elevated here.” The restaurant’s rustic charm retains a feeling of refinement while remaining accessible and comfortable, just like its menu of honest to goodness food. It’s a nice surprise in the middle of the forest.

Welcome to Ernie’s Not Your Uncle’s Dive Bar
By Michael Kra
OVER COCKTAILS, I’ll ponder the great questions. What is the sound of one hand clapping? And when is a dive bar not a dive bar? Who knows about the first, but a defensible answer to the second is: when it’s Ernie’s.
We’re talking about a snug little spot at 608 A St. in downtown Eureka, one that is no secret to Humboldt locals. Ernie’s has won several reader-voted awards in the North Coast Journal, for example. I sat down with Stacie Nunes, one of the owner/bartenders, to learn more about a place I visit regularly.
But let’s start with the case for Ernie’s being a dive bar: The sign outside features a logo of an old-school martini. The place sits comfortably between a motorcycle repair shop and an auto electrics place in what I’d call a scruffy but safe part of town. Folks play darts on the breezy enclosed patio. Also, the bar’s Facebook page prominently owns the mantle of “dive bar,” so there’s that. The only thing missing from the dive bar aesthetic is a poster featuring an old NASCAR driver, preferably an Earnhardt.

“Dive bars are the ones we go to when we travel,” Nunes says of herself and her business partners. “It’s such a great intro to a community.”
Arguing that Ernie’s goes beyond the standard dive depends partially on grapefruit. Let’s say you order a Greyhound. Nunes — North Coast Journal reader’s choice award winner for Best Bartender — pulls out fresh citrus and the company juicer. A friend, one who spent substantial time in her 20s in swanky clubs in New York and Europe, says this is one of the best drinks she’s ever had. (Her take on the bar’s interior: “so cute.”)
I’ll o en request one of the shrub specials, which feature syrups made with fresh fruit, sugar, water, vinegar and sometimes herbs or peppers. Nunes says the term “shrub” derives from the Arabic word sharab, meaning “drink.” Mixing fruit with sugar and vinegar was originally a preservation method to keep the fruit from spoiling. Ernie’s usually supplies several flavors to choose from and/or pair with whatever alcohol you like. But it’s not a situation where you wait 15 minutes and pay 15 bucks. You wait perhaps four minutes and turn over six to eight bucks. And if you want a lower-shelf shot and a Pabst Blue Ribbon, Ernie’s happily serves those up too, again for under $10. Overall, drinks lean toward single-dollar-sign affordable.
To add to your local experience, ask for
Humboldt-made Boldt Whiskey, Jewell Gin, or Jewell’s Citron Vodka, or maybe a pint from their local beer rotation.
It’s not really a wine place. Nunes says they supply one red, one white and “tiny bottles of pink stuff that one lady drinks.”
It’s also not the spot for a varied food menu, though sometimes food happens spontaneously. Once, I was drinking a hazy IPA and a customer passed around a box of coconut doughnut holes. That’s not a pairing I’d recommend o en, but it suited my mood that evening. Maybe try Ernie’s famous salami, a years-long tradition. There’s always one hanging in the barback corner, and you order it for $11 with a cutting board and knife to self-serve.
Another tradition: If you drop the F-word, you’re required to flip a quarter over the bar’s top shelf. Affordability again.
A year or two ago, Nunes and her partners Jon Fisher and Amos Sobol were in the process of attempting to buy another place where Nunes and Fisher had tended bar for a long time. In short, as o en happens, it didn’t work out. Ernie’s came up for sale and it seemed meant to be. The three divide management duties, with both Fisher and Nunes taking bartending shi s, and they employ a small staff of additional bartenders, some who have worked there for years. Nunes calls her crowd “varied,” based on the time of day. At opening, you’ll find retired folks drinking coffee (perchance
with some Bailey’s). The group gets younger as the day goes on. Then comes the happy hour crowd I tend to join. On weekend days, citizens stop for cocktails to break up errand running. Weekend nights get livelier, with bar-hopping folks on their way to and from events. Later on, you might find our local theater performers and crew tipping a few a er a show.

At happy hour, I found the crowds to be amiable mixes of my people, including government staffers, cannabis workers past and present, a couple of visitors who found the place and a grizzled old character with his friendly, cold-nosed Corgi who suffered — the dog, not the man — from bad timing, having missed Doughnut Hole Night.
On my way out, I spotted a sign to the bottom right of the door reading, “Budweiser 29.” Earnhardt-adjacent NASCAR great Kevin Harvick piloted the Budweiser No. 29 Chevy. Dive bar cred confirmed.
Ernie’s opens at 9 a.m. daily. It stays open until 2 a.m. on Friday and Saturday, 10 p.m. on Sundays, and midnight on weekdays.

HUMBOLDT COUNTY and the greater Emerald Triangle are well known throughout the world as a cannabis destination and the historic center of American cannabis production. But for much of that local history, cannabis was identified by consumers as one product: cannabis flower that could be smoked in bongs, pipes and joints.
Historically and globally, that wasn’t always the case, especially before the advent of higher potency strains that made smoking flower by itself far more pleasurable. Native and wild-growing cannabis from places like the high Himalayas had far less potency per pu than modern renditions.
The main reason for this improvement is the concentration of trichomes on cannabis flower. Tiny hair-like appendages, cannabis trichomes are the main source of THC and CBD from the plant. Some might recognize non-infused cannabis flower with a “frostier” appearance as being more potent — those specks of white are concentrations of trichomes.
For early users of cannabis thousands of years ago, collecting trichomes and the resulting plant resin became a key step in producing potent, smokable product. This led to the creation of hash, with wri en mentions of the concentrate dating to Wahshiyya’s Book of Poisons from 10th century Persia and perhaps even further back. One of the earliest production methods involved using wooden sieves to separate cannabis trichomes and resin from less-psychoactive plant material.
Hash is a category that can describe a variety of products, but at its core is collecting and consolidating trichomes to up the potency and purity of the smoke, and to be er age, preserve and manipulate various forms of THC and CBD. Modern manufacturing processes have led to cleaner and higher-potency forms of hash than the
original darkly colored “bricks” that many older stoners in the U.S. know from locales like Afghanistan and Morocco.
Chief among these new-age forms of hash is hash rosin, a further concentrated cannabis product that, in its purest form, is made only from melted plant resin within the head of the trichome itself. The most popular method is ice-water hash production, where trichomes are separated from other plant material via a combination of ice, water, fresh-frozen cannabis flower and filter bags.
The resulting trichomes are then melted and pressed using a combination of pressure and heat. Freshly pressed product can be smoked immediately, but most producers opt to cure their rosin, which makes it easier to handle and transport while arguably increasing the complexity of its flavor profile.
It’s a er manufacturing that cannabis rosin tends to get lost in the shu e of products found in California’s vast dispensary system. Consumers are o en confronted with an overwhelming variety of product types just within the concentrate category, as well as questions and confusion over how and why they might enjoy smoke concentrates at home.
Nabeel Al-Aziz of Humboldt County-based Nasha Hash says not knowing how to use hash/rosin products can be a barrier to exploring them. “Unlike flower, you can’t just put it in any bowl or roll it into any pre-roll. You o en need ‘flower’ as the base [for hash or rosin in] pre-rolls or bowls, or a dedicated dab device for rosin.”
Dabbing is a method of vaporizing cannabis concentrates, including hash rosin, to smoke directly. This can be accomplished by using a butane torch with a banger to hold the concentrate and water pipe, or with a dedicated electronic rig or “e-rig.”

Also confusing to some consumers are the di erences between common concentrate categories found at dispensaries, where rosin is typically higher priced than other products. Consumers o en hear “live resin” and distillate products compared to rosin, when unlike rosin, these products are not a naturally derived byproduct of the cannabis plant.
“Live resin” concentrate is primarily created through a process where butane is used as a solvent to extract cannabis oils, also known as butane hash oil or BHO. While distillate also uses solvents (typically ethanol) for extraction, its production fully separates out all psychoactive and flavor compounds of the cannabis plant. This allows producers to more easily flavor products and decide THC levels themselves, including flavoring with botanically derived terpenes to lower costs.
By comparison, creating rosin is more akin to fine winemaking than an industrial manufacturing process. The end result of outdoor-grown hash rosin is a direct reflection of the growing season and properties inherent to a given strain of cannabis. Carefully separated trichomes are the “grapes”
of this process — separated, carefully pressed and then aged/cured into a pure consumable expression of the plant, the place it was grown and its maker.
Consumers also need to look out for quality di erences within the rosin category itself, especially between di erent brands. Jacob Stockwell, founder of the cannabis brand Have Hash, says there are red flags to look out for: “Brands that don’t disclose their source material or farms, overly ‘perfect’ marketing with no transparency, products that prioritize yield over flavor and experience, and inconsistent batches.” Cannabis rosin with additional added terpenes (including botanical ones) and other adulterants have appeared in the marketplace, too.
Like any cra product category, the best bet for enjoying cannabis rosin is to stick with producers dedicated to quality over quantity. While it may take some time to figure out the true artisans from knock-o s, the journey can be worthwhile. At its finest, hash rosin is a true concentrated and naturally derived representation of the best qualities of cannabis.

Takes You Back BUBBLES
By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill
FORGET RAGE ROOMS. People should be cu ing 4-pound loaves of colorful, translucent glycerin soap to relieve stress. Just watching Carla Hayes, owner of Bubbles, slice them into fragrant, candy-colored chunks is soothing. In fact, your cortisol might cool just walking in and taking a deep breath.
Bubbles has been open since January of 1973, when founder Vicky Joyce took inspiration from Berkeley’s original Body Shop and established a distinctly Humboldt iteration of a soap, body care and fragrance business
that customized and recycled. Today, half the inventory is still home grown, and the house-infused incense is still made with sticks from the same Bay Area supplier.
Hayes, who bought the store when Joyce retired, started working at Bubbles during her student days at then Humboldt State University studying art. (In fact, all the artwork on the walls is hers.) Five months a er Hayes took over, COVID hit, so Bubbles adapted and survived by making sanitizer and collaborating with a local seamstress to make masks.

↑ Shelves of sweet-smelling stock at Bubbles, including house-infused incense..
Owner Carla Hayes with a bar of glycerin soap in the cult scent Rain.
↓ Hayes cutting soap behind the counter.
“We have customers who brag that they’ve been coming in since 1973,” says Hayes. Some of that loyalty is down to Bubbles’ reusing and refilling policy, which o ers 25 percent o refills with any container. Any container — drugstore shampoo pumps, Mason jars, condiment squeeze bo les, whatever. “We don’t care,” says Hayes, “we want people to reuse.”
Then there are the custom fragrances — more than 100 to mix and match — for oils, lotions and bath items. Behind the counter is a handwri en registry book bursting with customers’ personalized recipes. One customer in the book has been coming in since childhood. “She has her whole lifetime of fragrances in here,” says Hayes, flipping the pages.
If you’re curious about your own custom scent, take the 20 second tour that starts when a sta er hands you the menu of scents. Fragrances start with three fragrances from the list, plus 50 cents for each additional scent. Overwhelmed folks will get all the help they need, in the form of guiding questions and the occasional palate cleansing sni of co ee beans. “Would you consider yourself a fruity person, a fresh-clean, an earthy, an herbal or a floral?” asks Hayes.
From there, they’ll help you narrow down whether you’re drawn to citrus or berries with sni s of dipped wooden sticks.
Of course, there are house scents, a number of which have cult followings. The No. 1 scent is Rain, a somewhat androgynous scent with a light musk, “the fresh and clean of all fresh and cleans.” A local need take only one whi to be transported back to a person who wore it or place they smelled it.
The light floral Wild Honeysuckle is another favorite, as is the woodsy and pine-inflected Redwood Moss. Aside from bars of gentle glycerin, all these scents can be added to lotions, bubble baths, shower gels, hydrating creams and incense and shampoos, or you can order them as straight oils in vials or roller bo les.
Smell being particularly evocative of memories, the Humboldt-centric scents make fine souvenirs and salves for the North Coast homesick. Douglass Fir is a gentle forest essence, and Lost Coast is a fresh and clean fragrance with some conifer mixed in. Fern Canyon has a balance of greenery with petrichor — the la er being a rainy earth smell that’s otherwise tricky to blend but beloved by those who love a storm.
Locally made candles from Fortuna bring Humboldt vibes to the room, letting you light up varieties like Redwood and Moss.

About half the stock at Bubbles is locally made, and the artwork is all by Hayes..

Give yourself a li le time to browse, try a couple lotions, explore a custom fragrance and let the ca ails of incense and rainbow cakes of soap tell you whom in your circle they’re for. You’ll be grateful later when the scent takes you back to Humboldt.

The sign says horses have the right of way, which should give you an idea of McKinleyville’s vibe. Some of its biggest a ractions are outdoors. Play with the kids in Hiller Park and hike or bike the paved Hammond Trail. Ditch your shoes and spend the day at Clam Beach (yup, there are clams out there for the digging) kayaking, paddleboarding or just relaxing among the dunes. There’s a course if you’re itching for a round of golf, and there’s even a sweet, li le waterfall tucked along the road into town. Already visited the world’s biggest ball of string? Swing by the world’s tallest totem pole.
Blue Lake →
Humboldt residents socked in by summer fog know that they can find warm refuge in Blue Lake, a picturesque town whose mo o is “sunshine and sea air.” On the shores of the Mad River, locals enjoy fishing, sunbathing and swimming in the summer, and fun hikes and bike trails anytime. In addition to fun outdoor adventures, Blue Lake is a hub for music and the arts. The Dell’Arte International School of Physical Theatre imports students from around the world, producing shows throughout the year, including the annual five-week Baduwa't Festival. You can also sing along at Humboldt Folklife Festival in July, a weeklong celebration with live music, dancing and workshops. With the li le ones? Check out photos and artifacts from Blue Lake’s pioneer, Indigenous, logging and railroad histories at the Blue Lake Museum or visit Perigot Park, where you can play baseball or soak up picturesque views.

Eureka ←
This place is full of stories. Once a raucous lumber town and fishing village, early Eureka bustled with saloons and brothels, along with a hardy mix of rugged entrepreneurs looking to se le the North Coast. Jack London himself is said to have taken a swing in a barroom brawl in Old Town. Today, the boats still bring crab and salmon to the docks, and historic buildings at the edge of Humboldt Bay form a walkable enclave of places to browse, drink and dine. Slow down with a stroll along the waterfront trail or lean on the railing of the Old Town boardwalk and watch the boats go by. And don’t miss Arts Alive!, the first Saturday night of each month, when the streets fill up with folks touring the shops, restaurants and galleries for local art and live music.

Avenue of the Giants
Even those of us who live among redwood giants look up now and then in amazement. Driving along the Avenue of the Giants shows you something new around every corner, something photos and video can’t quite do justice. We lean on words like “majesty” and “breathtaking,” but you kind of have to be there under the ancient, towering canopy to really get it. Take it slow and plan to make a few stops. (Are you not going to stop and see chainsaw sculptures? Please.) From kitsch to fine woodwork, the shops along the Avenue are their own local a raction. South is Garberville, where you can hit the farmers market for an a ernoon treat and maybe catch a show. The nearby Mateel Community Center regularly brings in major musical acts and puts on some of Humboldt’s biggest festivals.

Shelter Cove
Aptly named the “lost coast,” Shelter Cove is nestled in a stretch of beach that o ers a natural retreat tucked away in its own world. Accessible by sea and air, the town has one road in and one road out. Once there, enjoy fishing, hiking, boating, golf, excellent lodging and camping options. Se le in for winter storm watching, whale watching or a hike along a unique, 24-mile stretch of black sand beach. A natural coastline unfe ered by highways and the normal comings and goings of humanity make Shelter Cove a singular American destination.
