PREVIOUSLY: All Past Humboldt Approved Winners

Holy balls it was a nice weekend here in HumCo. So glorious was the weather, that, for the first time this year, your Lost Coast Outpost started really thirsting for that imminent summah summah summertime. Oh, man. We’re gonna go camping, barbecue it up, maybe not wear a jacket for a few days … gonna be sweet.

Oh ya. You better believe there’s also gonna be some serious Humboldt river times. Now, we think we have some pretty good spots in our rotation, but we wanted to poll the audience in case there’s a spot we’re missing. So tell us, LoCO Army, what is Humboldt County’s best river spot? You decide what equates being tops, whether it be sandy beaches, remoteness, big rocks to jump off and/or proximity to a place you can buy more beer. Your call. 

As with other similar topics, we know that some of you will want to squelch any info about your favorite river sanctuary before it reaches the light of LoCO. While we don’t agree with this philosophy, feel free to upvote your least favorite river spot in an attempt to confuse the yahoo stampedes, if you must. We hope you’ll want to share nature with your fellow man, but we won’t force you. Instructions on how to make your vote count below:

To vote, look through the comments of this Humboldt Approved poll. If someone has already nominated the answer you would give for this 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/lame 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 many weeks we look for two winners — one winner from the metropolises of Eureka and Arcata, and one from Humboldt’s smaller communities — due to the nature of this category, this time we’re gonna limit it to one. Voting closes next Friday at noon and soon after a winner will be declared.

Help us out, Humboldtians. We wanna go rollin’, rollin’, rollin’ on a river … but which one?

Also, we could use the winning spot for some baptizin’!
