Where to look for jobs?

I know the job market is SO bad. Where would you start looking for jobs in the Humboldt area or near Browning, Oregon / crescent city, Ca?

Redwoods Itinerary Help

Need advice on our Redwoods itinerary for early June.

Day 1: Eureka → Newton B. Drury Scenic Parkway → Howland Hill Road → Stout Grove → sleep in Crescent City.

Day 2: Prairie Creek Visitor Center → James Irvine Trail + Fern Canyon together → drive into Oregon with a couple Samuel H. Boardman stops → sleep in Bandon.

We’re considering skipping Avenue of the Giants entirely. Is that a mistake for a first redwoods trip, or are Howland Hill + Prairie Creek the more special experience anyway? Also are we missing anything that we could squeeze in? All suggestions welcome! Thank you

One of my Redwoods in Queensland, Australia.

The first pic is of my oldest (2 years in the ground) Coast Redwood, as part of my grove which includes more smaller Redwoods, Giant Sequoia, Deodar Cedar, Radiata Pine, Swamp Cypress, and Incense Cedars.

I'm about 45 minutes SE of Brisbane City, Australia.

They seem to be surprisingly happy here as long as they get water during dry spells, as the sandy soil on my property tends to desiccate real fast!

The next pictures are of a large, local 40 year old specimen, but this one is at about 1,500ft higher despite being 15 minutes away. The climate is much more suitable up there than down here, so I'd expect mine to grow much slower.

Our climate is more similar to the SE USA than their native Cali, with hot, wet summers and dry, frosty winters. Rainfall can be unreliable some years, so I have to keep them watered until they establish.

There are many Redwoods in Australia, but existing groves and individuals are entirely limited to the cooler and wetter southern states. These are quite experimental up here, with mine being the only known low elevation elevation specimens in my giant state.

This one seems to be establishing well, with the trunk girth and canopy width tripling since planting.

I had planned on doing the ~12 mile James Irvine/Miners Ridge/Fern Canyon loop this week, but it looks like that is a no-go since one of the stairs are closed for reconstruction between James Irvine & Fern Canyon.

I'm not sure I trust my Honda Fit to make it across the potholes & stream crossings to get to the Fern Canyon parking.

Thinking about timing, would it be better to do:

  • A 14 mile out and back to Fern Canyon via Miners Ridge, or
  • A 8-10 mile romp around James Irvine & Miners Ridge?

In other words, I can either do James Irvine or Fern Canyon. I can't do both. Thoughts?
