I am visiting my son in Arcata. I drive by Giuntelli every day and my Fav Mex Restaurant is there. When I go walking in nearby town, I am put off often by barking dogs, some unrestrained. A lot of strange people hang out in Humboldt County.
Big illegal pot growing area. Doing massive illegal activities makes people act rather paranoid...
I found that to be the case many years ago, and have not been back.
