Fun Things to do in Eureka and Arcata, California
In Northern California Near Oregon.
This is a historic train in Scotia, California. A beautiful town completely owned by MAXXAM. [until they went bankrupt] Sort of like a stage set, it is entirely built of redwood lumber with columns made from entire trees with the bark intact. Come visit sometime and be sure to go on the factory tour. It is the largest building in California. MAXXAM did a corporate raider takeover using Michael Milken junk bonds and is proceeding to cut down old growth redwood as fast as possible and take all the profit and move it to Texas. After all the profitable trees are gone then it was time for bankruptcy... Just like they did with Kaiser Aluminum. and that's exactly what they did... now it's all owned by the Fisher Family [most famous for The Gap clothing stores]

We REALLY Need to Guard the Atomic Waste at PG&E's Abandoned Nuclear Power Plant Near Eureka California... Anyone Can Walk Right Up To The Casks and Place a Standard Bomb Under Them... Building a "Dirty Bomb."
With Insane TrumpNiks® Running Around Planting Bombs and Failing to Overthrow the US Government... This Is A REAL Threat! A Terrorist Could Walk on the Public Trail and Then We Would Have to Instantly Evacuate Eureka... For a Thousand Years... There ARE Two Chain Link Fences and a Guardhouse Protecting the Radioactive Waste from Unauthorized Visitors... So No One Can Enter Unless They Owned Wire Clippers and The Guard Was Sleeping... If There Even IS a Guard at All...
HEY! TrumpNiks® DON'T DO THIS! #MAGAKillersSUCK
It's REALLY Likely That You Will Be Arrested IF You Attempt to Visit... For ANY Reason! Even as an Internet Challenge Like #CyberPunks Do at Chernobyl.
