    he following project concepts were identified as needs or inter- ests, but will need much more research or changes in existing physical or political parameters to become possibilities. These sites are illustrated in Figure II-1. This small cove and sandy beach is protected by rock jetties and man- aged by the BLM. It offers good bay access for novice paddlers. Park- ing space is limited and the Jetty Road gate is closed one hour after sunset. Better parking and appropriate signage could be provided. Jetty Road Cove is secluded from fast-moving currents and provides an easy beach launch for paddle-boaters. Park Street ends at a sandy beach near Fairhaven, with a view across the bay to Eureka. The area provides access to the deep waterchannel between Samoa Peninsula and Eureka. The site could be enhanced for water access by delineating parking and providing appropriate signage. The site also provides adequate fishing access and could potentially serve as a trailhead to allow continuous beach access south to the Samoa Boat Ramp County Park. Cole Street, off Bay Street in Fairheven, ends at a sandy beach (or mud flats at lower tides). Debris has been dumped between the road and the beach. There is a great deal of boat-building history and ac- tivity in this area, and though it is currently neglected, it is a valuable coastal access point and should be reestablished. If road shoulders were improved for bike access, this road could provide a better link between bay communities and coastal recre- ation opportunities on the peninsula.

  • Carson Mansion in Eureka, California
    Carson Mansion in Eureka, California Mount San Jacinto in California Call it Gothic, call it a fairy tale, the Carson Mansion is one of the few pieces of architecture in the world that manages to baffle its viewers about its style. With French, Italian and Gothic elements, this mansion located in Eureka, California showcases a peculiar American style of architecture. In fact, its curious style has managed to influence the architecture of its neighborhood buildings as well. Lumber tycoon William Carson is believed to have said, “If I build it poorly, they would say that I was a damned miser; if I build it expensively, they will say I'm a show off; guess I'll just build it to suit myself.” A three-storey structure with 18 rooms, the Carson Mansion, constructed between 1884 and 1885 by a hundred men, also contains a tower and a basement. Well-known Californian architects, the Newsom brothers of San Francisco constructed this beautiful masterpiece. Today, the Mansion has become a local landmark; you cannot miss it, if you are in Eureka. In fact, it is located to the south of Carson’s lumber mill. William Carson, the owner of this mansion came to California during the Gold Rush and was disappointed not to find any. But he worked hard in the lumber industry, which was a booming venture then, and made millions. The Carson Mansion was his tribute to American architecture. Much has been written about the Stick-Eastlake features of this mansion and experts have marveled over its Queen Anne properties.

  • Redwood Country
    California’s Redwood Country Author’s Note: “California’s Redwood Country” will be a welcome perennial getaway once again for many travelers when the coronavirus constraints diminish. This article is one of 30 chapters in my travel guidebook/ebookNorthern California Travel: The Best Options. Folks who love California travel are not just locals and other U.S. citizens. This book is now available also as an ebook in Chinese and as a print book in Chinese. All my Northern California travel guidebooks/ebooks can be seen on my Amazon Author Page. Redwood Country – Images by Lee Foster By Lee Foster California can safely assert three superlatives in one aspect of nature, the world of trees. The redwood trees (Sequoia sempervirens) along the coast north from San Francisco are magnificent and are the tallest trees on the earth. The presumably tallest examples are in a secret location in Redwood National and State Parks, near Orick. Similarly, the most massive living thing on earth is the inland relative of the coastal redwood. The best example of the inland relative (Sequoia gigantea) can be seen at Sequoia National Park (the General Sherman tree). If superlative trees stir your sense of adventure, California trees offers yet another wonder of nature. That wonder is the oldest living thing on this earth. This distinction goes to the bristlecone pines, which can be seen high in the White Mountains of California, east of Bishop. UNESCO World Heritage Status UNESCO deemed Redwood National and State Parks a “world heritage site” in 1982, recognizing that redwoods are a phenomenon of worldwide interest.

  • Travels to Historic Eureka, California: the Lumber Baron Town
    Travels to Historic Eureka, California: The Lumber Baron Town By Lee Foster Author’s Note: This article “Travels to Historic Eureka, California: The Lumber Baron Town” is a chapter in my new book/ebook Northern California History Travel Adventures: 35 Suggested Trips. The subject is also covered in my book/ebook Northern California Travel: The Best Options. That book is available in English as a book/ebook and also as an ebook in Chinese. Several of my books on California can be seen on my Amazon Author Page. In Brief Before roads were viable means of transport, the redwood lumber of far Northern California had to be shipped out by boat. There were ready markets in San Francisco. As a result, Eureka became the port city for the titans of timber, such as William Carson. Today, Carson’s mansion is a landmark in California architecture. The Historic Story The wealth of the early lumber period expressed itself in Eureka, especially in the palace Victorian homes on the lumber barons. Lumbering has been the main historical story associated with redwood country. The tree’s wood is soft and easy to saw. While not as strong as Douglas fir, it has an attractive red color. The color can be stabilized to remain red or will weather naturally to a pleasing gray. Even today, builders favor redwood in house siding, decks, and garden structures. However, the biggest virtue of redwood is its ability to withstand weathering and termites. Redwood will not readily deteriorate. Prolonged moisture will cause most woods to rot, but redwood will endure.

Eureka is the largest coastal city between San Francisco and Portland, Oregon, and serves as the Humboldt County seat. Greater Eureka is one of California’s major commercial fishing ports, and is the location of the largest deep-water port between San Francisco and Coos Bay, Oregon, a stretch of about 500 miles. In the 1850’s, Eureka provided a convenient alternative to the long overland route from Sacramento to supply miners on the Trinity, Klamath, and Salmon rivers where gold had been discovered. Eureka’s pacific coastal location on Humboldt Bay, adjacent to abundant redwood forests, provided the reason for settlement of this 1850’s seaport. The area was primarily made up of farmers, miners, fisherman, and loggers. After realizing the difficulty of striking it rich in the mines, the vast resources available for the lumber industry was recognized as a potential source to feed the building of San Francisco.

In 2014 he asked the board: “Are we ready to host a national convention?” We discussed the idea but noth- ing came of it until our District Five Director Tim Walsh com- mitted us to host the 2017 American Rhododendron Society’s National Convention at a national board meeting in 2015. We got right to work and the excellent results speak for them- selves. By November 2015, we had ruled out Fortuna’s River Lodge and the surrounding motels as a venue and narrowed the choices to the Bear River Casino and the Red Lion Hotel. June Walsh and the Palmers visited both sites and concluded that the Red Lion Hotel in conjunction with the new Sequoia Conference Center would be the best choice.
