Welcome to ROUNDFILED, one of the Internet’s newest features. It is brought to you by the fine folks at LoCO Labs.

Many items fly across the Outpost radar every day. Not all of them rise to postworthiness. ROUNDFILED is scientifically engineered to squeeze whatever valuable residue it can out of the daily slag heap, then to blend those juices together in a nutritious news cocktail.

You’re welcome!

The amazing local historian Jerry Rohde — author of numerous works, including “The Sonoma Gang: Remembering the genocidal scum who built Arcata” — has written what looks to be a very fun history of the McKay Tract. (We say “looks to be” because we haven’t had time to delve in yet.)

“Historic Profile of the McKay Tract: Logging, Ranching and Railroads” was commissioned by the Humboldt County Public Works Department, which is leading the work that will (fingers-crossed) transform the big old stand of trees by Cutten into a community-owned jewel of a park/working forest.

Rohde’s work is free for the downloading! Grab it here.
