Street in the downtown district of eureka the Morris graves Museum of Art is named after the American painter who was one of the earliest modern artists from the Pacific Northwest He came to Humboldt County in the 1990 s.

This is destination radio let us be your guide. To the record the to where are the prettiest most scenic drives around humble Bay There are so many but we'll concentrate on the easiest ones to find this time around let's start with the former path of Highway 101 it's an extension of Myrtle Avenue from Highway one a one north or while driving through eureka the road is referenced as a 5th Street take this exit and will take you on the former path in the 800 hundreds and early part of last century old Archita road or Myrtle Avenue was the path out to the various Redwood logging camps around the bay the current roadway is over former need of American trails that were used prior to the timber industry's appearance in the region it's still connects Eureka to Arcadia and has been upgraded over the years many of the roads leading from the road are named for families who settled in these areas after the logging was done if you take this roadway there are still our stores and some commercial structures that serve the loggers there are 3 bridges along the route over slews and waterways the slews were regularly used to float redwood trees to the bay in order to get them to the mills . The current highway 101 from Eureka to Arcadia was built in the fifty's replacing the old are key to roads primary use while driving you'll want to watch for joggers and bicyclists Waffen use this road due to its scenic nature. Another easily traveled road in our area is officially known as Highway 255 but the locals refer to it as the Samoa bridge there are a series of 3 bridges with shake you from Eureka to Samoa and the beaches on the north spit or peninsula of humble Bay as you cross the bridges not only is there a scenic vista of the North Bay and the waterfront of Eureka you'll also be able to take in a view of the fresh. Water Valley against the 1st mountain ridge to the east of the bay the bridges were built in the early 1970 s. As a way for Chip trucks to deliver their product to the paper pulp mills which were at that time located in Fairhaven for those traveling from the south it saved nearly 30 minutes and avoided the need to drive through the town of Archita making it quieter and safer for the citizens there once you cross the bay you can make a left hand turn and that will take you to ocean beaches and more panoramic views if you're in Eureka fields landing and Humboldt Hill by turning to the right the road reference to Samoa Boulevard locally will take you to Arcadia past a series of dock pilings reminding us of the past the railroad tracks which used to bring materials to the mills and the community of Manila and after you cross a slew bridge you'll enter an area referenced as the Arcadia bottoms just as the area adjacent to the old arcade a road is reclaimed Bay So too is this region. While the levees in the area were originally built by New Brunswick and Nova Scotia immigrants to the area most have been shorn up over the years the draining of the lands in the former title areas allowed for dairy and cattle ranching in areas near to where folks settled. Another scenic drive around the humble Bay Area is a drive out to the headwaters forest preserve this road known as river road parallels the small river and take you back into ranch areas at the end of the 2 trail heads for the headwaters forest this road is rather rural with many twists and turns necessitating a slow meandering drive through the farmland while appearing tame and tranquil most of the year during the winter after being visited by a series of storms the entire flow of the oak River Valley will escape its banks and flow from one edge of the valley to the other to get to this road on much tamer days take the Herrick Road overpass which is the southernmost overpass in Eureka and travel south you'll have a pleasant surprise about 2 miles along the way on the right hand side there is a covered bridge over Elk River which is still used today by residents to get to the other side of the valley for standard sized vehicles there's no issue in crossing this single lane wooded structure but it's not recommended for R.V.'s while historically there were elk in this region the namesake of the river are no longer found in this area. A heads up each of these roadways goes through residential areas and our roads which have a fair amount of cross traffic or folks pulling out of their driveways you'll also find the occasional tractor travelling on the road or other slow moving farm equipment and there are schools adjacent to the roads because of this please don't be in a rush while taking the scenic drive give yourself ample time to enjoy the views and if you pull over to take a picture or just to stretch your legs be certain to pull all the way over on the gravel or paved shoulder you don't want to start a wildfire by accidentally catching overgrown weeds or grass on fire from the heat of the underside of your vehicle and your time around the humble Bay Area with a scenic drive it'll help you understand the natural variety of this part of Humboldt County.

When the redwood highway still went through that town but the combination of their growing collection and the relocation and expansion of the highway led the Chapmans to move to their current location in 1963 and the additional collecting they have done as they travel around the country and around the world prompted the construction of an expanded display area in 1905 and the gallery room in 2005 their daughter Sharon Brown and her husband while carry on the chaplain's legacy of collecting gems and sharing them in their shop among the attractions at Chapman's are Native American artifacts petrified wood precious stones meteorite samples and the largest known collection of petrified poems they have an ultraviolet room for viewing phosphorescent materials tomb and their gallery features larger items such as carvings and amethyst geode which may be purchased as can a variety of rot.
