It looks like Humboldt’s parents feel their critters are best satiated by the presence of other critters. Nate called it.

Lost Coast Outpost readers have officially added the Sequoia Park Zoo the ever growing list of things that are Humboldt Approved.  And since we know that the LoCO bump is known to overwhelm those who receive it, in an attempt to curb the child tide we’ll alert you to the fact that the zoo has a free (as in no admission price) day coming up on Sunday, Sept. 29.

Free at last, Humboldt.

Original Post: Your Lost Coast Outpost gives a hearty “thank ya” to everyone that took time to celebrate Humboldt’s too-often overlooked bass players. Dan thanks you especially.

You know who hasn’t really gotten their own Humboldt Approved topic to fight for yet? Your kids. So for this week’s Humboldt Approved poll we want to know where local rugrats run freest. Indoors or outdoors, we just want to know what location makes your children cry and scream loudest when it’s time to leave it (see below).

This one of those there-can-only-be-one winner weeks. Below is your frequent reminder of how voting works around here:

To vote, look through the comments of this Humboldt Approved poll. If someone has already nominated the answer you would give for that week’s category, click the upvote arrow. If you don’t see your desired Humboldt Approved answer nominate it in a comment for others to upvote. (Please be careful to not duplicate answers; redundant answers will be deleted and potential associated upvotes will be lost.) Feel free to make your case by replying to/cheering on the answer you love most, but again the number by the arrows on the initial nomination is what counts.

You can vote for as many nominees as you deem worthy but, of course, the more you do that the more watered down your initial vote becomes. That’s math.

We reserve the right to delete superfluous comments that make the voting/comment section hard to sift through. Please try not to get offended when your comment battle reply is deleted. We’re trying to do something here. While most weeks we look for two winners — one winner from the metropolises of Eureka and Arcata, and one from Humboldt’s smaller communities — this time we’re gonna limit it to one. Voting closes next Friday at noon and soon after a winner will be declared.

Now get to it. Where is the best place in Humboldt to take kids? Click them arrows.
