    I just completed this as well. Amazing I lived in Bay Area for 5 years, and been to Eureka numerous times. Even prior to living in that neck of the woods, whilst in Uni in Las Vegas we would always go to the Humboldt State games, (as much for the ganja as the game) but I never had anything other than this "romantic" perception of Humboldt County. Of course there was a tinge of "outlaw" in the romanticism, but it surely wasn't a Columbian Cocaine Cartel violent like perception. In a million years I would of never imagined AlderPoint existed. Since watching Murder Mountain I turned a couple of native Norther Californians onto the show and they came away with the exact same shock...they had no idea.

    Murder Mountain is dramatized to keep it entertaining. It's streamin' TV right..?

    Yet, from my experience -- (visiting friends in the Emerald Triangle -- late '70s until now) -- much of it is accurate.

    ^Almost picked some of that up when I picked up the rest of the goodies I've been posting, but I wanted to keep my bill under US$100 for that trip.  Next time.

    Beer -- even imported gems -- are relatively cheap where I live.

    I was drinking a Duvel when I posted ^, but the photo is from the Red Piano in Siem Reap (Duvel / $5).
