Plus AirBNBs don't have indoor gyms, pools, and free breakfast. If you're really lucky, the pool will even have a waterslide.

Stayed at a hotel in Eureka, California. They had a really nice pool with a hottub, and all the weed farmers come down from the mountains and party at the hotel on the weekends. Super friendly folks, had a lot of stories to tell.

You never meet anyone at an AirBNB.

There are a couple of great hotels in Eureka. Used to live up there and long to return (although I'll be leaving Ca).

If anyone ever has the chance to visit Eureka, please do so. Take a drive from town up 101 through Arcata and all the way up through Orick. Orick is a really interesting tiny town (used to be a lot of meth there - not sure what's left). But the big beach on the way there is something to see and walk on.

After Orick continue north and take old 101, now known as the Newton B. Drury Parkway. This routes you through all of the big BIG redwoods. At nearly the end of the Parkway you will find the Prairie Creek trailhead. Park there and walk east up in to the forest. Follow the trail up up up until it levels out and keep a watch on the right for an honest to God fairy circle (a collection of redwood trees growing in a tight circle). You can hike down off the trail and climb in to the middle of the fairy circle. It's kind of a holy place, if you're in to redwoods and nature. Anyway, it's fucking beautiful.

When you're done there, continue north to Crescent City. Not too much there except for Ocean World. It appears to be a cheesy run down roadside thing, but it's actually pretty cool with a great tour.

After Crescent City, turn north east and head up 199 along the Smith River. If it's warm, bring a bathing suit. This road is one of the most beautiful things I've ever experienced and there are a couple of great spots to stop and wet your toes. Continue on to Cave Junction.

Now, if it's around midday, stop at Taylor's Sausage Country Store. If it's near dinner time, stop at Carlos Restaurante. You will not be disappointed.

Now turn east along 46 and prepare for a windy ride up the hills. The end of the road is the Oregon Caves National Monument. What a place! You can swear you're being watched by Bigfoot himself. Stay at the hotel there. Eat the shitty food. TAKE A CAVE TOUR. Hike around a bit. Enjoy the SILENCE and lack of radio waves. What a wonderful destination.

Then, when all done with that, head back south to Eureka. It's a short vacation you will not regret.
