There was a small demonstration at Cal Tran’s main headquarters in Eureka yesterday to protest the widening of hwy 101 at Richardson Grove. The road is too narrow for larger trucks to travel on. There is hope that once the road is widened that Humboldt County will come into the 21st century. The 1.1 miles that needs to be reconfigured will up root a total of 54 trees.
Now I know that 54 trees doesn’t seem like a lot when Companies like Green Diamond are cutting down hundreds each day but if you’ve ever traveled through Richardson Grove you know that you’re driving through something special. There are moments when I’ve honestly lost my breath at the sheer beauty of it. I’m in the protesters corner on this one.
