While the towering cliffs of the “Diggins” — carved out by powerful water cannons in the 1800s — are the main attraction nearby, Hall said there are plenty of \u003ca href=\"https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/california/humbug-trail--2\">trails for hikers\u003c/a> and bikers to explore. Anyone staying in the state park, whether at the cabins or in the campsites above North Bloomfield, can also get a chance at some gold panning, Hall said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have gold pans here that you can check out at the Visitor Center and we have a spot on Humbug Creek where you can go and try your hand,” Hall said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Pro tip: \u003c/strong>If you’ve made a reservation, consider calling ahead of your arrival to check on the park’s fire status, “because we do stop campfires later in the summer,” Hall said.

And their resulting popularity has prompted \u003ca href=\"https://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=31271\">the state parks department to pilot a lottery system\u003c/a> to give more people a chance at getting a site.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So how does it work? \u003ca href=\"https://www.reservecalifornia.com/Web/#!park/682\">Anyone can put their hat into a drawing for a cabin for free\u003c/a> up to eight months in advance of your desired reservation, and if selected, will have 30 days to pay and claim their spot. When applying, you can add preferences like how many nights, your preferred arrival date and whether you need an accessible site.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Pro tip: \u003c/strong>Don’t worry if you don’t get a spot your first time entering the lottery: Each time you apply and aren’t selected, you get an increased chance at winning via a points system that awards you one point for every failed application you put in.

The campsite features around 60 tents, but it doesn’t feel crowded, Raffo said, as everyone has their own space and quiet hours help guests “relax into the experience,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their goal is to toe the line between the peace and quiet of a camping experience and the amenities of a resort — like a dry sauna, heated mattress pads, complimentary breakfast and high-touch customer service: “If you need hot cocoa at 11 o’clock at night, we’re going to go get you hot cocoa,” Raffo said. And unlike traditional camping, you don’t need to bring anything for your stay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The beauty of the campsite itself is a main draw, with towering redwood forests, ocean views and an expansive meadow where you can play volleyball, bocce ball or do other camping activities.

They each also have a wood stove inside and an outdoor fire pit for grilling, plus a picnic table and bear box for food storage. Dogs are allowed both in the campground and in town.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hall said the state park runs tours of the historic town on Thursday, Friday and Saturday afternoon. While the towering cliffs of the “Diggins” — carved out by powerful water cannons in the 1800s — are the main attraction nearby, Hall said there are plenty of \u003ca href=\"https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/california/humbug-trail--2\">trails for hikers\u003c/a> and bikers to explore. Anyone staying in the state park, whether at the cabins or in the campsites above North Bloomfield, can also get a chance at some gold panning, Hall said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have gold pans here that you can check out at the Visitor Center and we have a spot on Humbug Creek where you can go and try your hand,” Hall said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Pro tip: \u003c/strong>If you’ve made a reservation, consider calling ahead of your arrival to check on the park’s fire status, “because we do stop campfires later in the summer,” Hall said.

We couldn’t believe it. We went, ‘What? You’re kidding. You really … you want us?

The disaster killed nine people. It destroyed 350 homes and 36,000 acres, and required thousands of people to evacuate. When roads opened back up, Reynolds said she was the one with the key to the Redwood Valley Grange, which was still standing. She let PG&E in to get the propane turned back on, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I told my husband, ‘I can’t close the door to the Grange,’” she said, with emotion creeping into her voice. “All of my neighbors were going back to see if they had a house or not, or whether their farms were there anymore, whether they had anything left at all, and they were driving right past the Grange.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reynolds said that she, her husband, and other volunteers made brownies and coffee, and put out a sandwich board, saying, “Come on in.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And all of a sudden, people were bringing food down there,” she said. “Red Cross was outside, FEMA was in the room and they started answering people’s questions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Families were able to reconnect and find each other after the fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is all because of a Grange hall. If we didn’t have the Grange hall, none of this would have happened.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nationally, the Grange was at its peak in the 1950s, with over 850,000 members. That dropped a lot over the decades, as farmland was paved over for suburbs, and membership in civic organizations declined.[aside postID=news_11948223 hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/05/mas-in-blooms-sized-1020x574.jpg'] But the last few years have seen membership grow incrementally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California has 120 Granges, and in the last year alone, seven Granges opened — some brand new, some brought back to life or reorganized, since the state-wide rift. Reynolds said, revitalizing the Grange is her calling. She’s working to reestablish Granges in Fort Bragg and Upper Lake — communities in Mendocino and Lake Counties — in the coming months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said she knows that the Grange needs to be truly inclusive to keep growing and represent all the people living in rural areas. As someone with Paiute ancestry, that’s dear to her heart. She pointed out that the National organization has changed language, like “Grange Master,” to “President.” A number of Granges — including in California — have a majority Latino population. And California’s state Grange is translating all documents into Spanish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s going to be a while, but we’re working on that. And as far as the indigenous people,” she said, getting emotional, “we’re working on that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thinking about the future of the Anderson Valley Grange, Captain Rainbow gets a little nostalgic. “When my generation came in and became part of the Grange, the old-timers, they needed us.

As someone with Paiute ancestry, that’s dear to her heart.

Nadine Gracia\u003c/a> leads \u003ca href=\"https://www.tfah.org/\">Trust for America’s Health\u003c/a>, a nonpartisan group that tracks overdose and suicide trends. She said the western part of the U.S. is seeing some of the sharpest increases — and California’s crisis is being fueled by fentanyl and rising use of stimulants like meth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we need to do is bolster our programs that support addressing adverse childhood experiences and trauma,” Gracia said. “And really invest in resilience, mental health, and substance use.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Deaths from alcohol and suicide are falling in California.

Scammers have increasingly infiltrated the state’s 116 community colleges, posing as students in an effort to steal financial aid from the state and federal government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a meeting recently, the board that oversees California’s community colleges voted to require all students to verify their identity, which is currently optional for most applicants. The board also considered asking the Legislature for approval to charge students a \u003ca href=\"https://go.boarddocs.com/ca/cccchan/Board.nsf/goto?open&id=DGHPTY663CB2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">nominal application fee\u003c/a> — which many said should be no more than $10. But after more than two hours of debate, the board rejected that proposal and instead asked staff to “explore” a fee policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students from across the state told board members that they were against imposing a fee, sharing stories of times when they were so poor that they didn’t have a bank account or $10 to buy lunch. Many had personal experiences with fake students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Flo Cudal, a student at Santiago Canyon College in Orange County, testified about her own experience with scammers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A bot once took my seat in a class I needed to graduate and transfer,” Cudal said. “That fraud almost cost me my future. I understand the need for strong protections, but they must not come at the expense of excluding a real student.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even though students have to sign an affidavit swearing that their personal information is valid when they apply, only a few schools require applicants to upload an ID to prove their identity. The board vote means prospective students would be required to submit IDs with their applications.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Maybe their successful breeding season just meant higher numbers didn’t learn to forage. \u003c/span>Another theory about these starving young, \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Duerr \u003c/span>said, is that their parents, sickened by the harmful algal blooms, might have abandoned them before they were ready to forage alone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These young birds didn’t know how to eat yet,” Duerr said. “It’s circumstantial evidence, but it looked like, you know, if mom doesn’t come back, they have to leave the nest or they’ll die.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">So far, there are less starving pelicans than last year.

She said the western part of the U.S. is seeing some of the sharpest increases — and California’s crisis is being fueled by fentanyl and rising use of stimulants like meth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we need to do is bolster our programs that support addressing adverse childhood experiences and trauma,” Gracia said. “And really invest in resilience, mental health, and substance use.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Deaths from alcohol and suicide are falling in California.

Scammers have increasingly infiltrated the state’s 116 community colleges, posing as students in an effort to steal financial aid from the state and federal government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a meeting recently, the board that oversees California’s community colleges voted to require all students to verify their identity, which is currently optional for most applicants. The board also considered asking the Legislature for approval to charge students a \u003ca href=\"https://go.boarddocs.com/ca/cccchan/Board.nsf/goto?open&id=DGHPTY663CB2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">nominal application fee\u003c/a> — which many said should be no more than $10. But after more than two hours of debate, the board rejected that proposal and instead asked staff to “explore” a fee policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students from across the state told board members that they were against imposing a fee, sharing stories of times when they were so poor that they didn’t have a bank account or $10 to buy lunch. Many had personal experiences with fake students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Flo Cudal, a student at Santiago Canyon College in Orange County, testified about her own experience with scammers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A bot once took my seat in a class I needed to graduate and transfer,” Cudal said. “That fraud almost cost me my future. I understand the need for strong protections, but they must not come at the expense of excluding a real student.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even though students have to sign an affidavit swearing that their personal information is valid when they apply, only a few schools require applicants to upload an ID to prove their identity. The board vote means prospective students would be required to submit IDs with their applications.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

They often lack insurance and resources to rebuild or move elsewhere. The effects on families quickly add up for a community. You can see that with all the fires that have hit Shasta and surrounding counties in recent years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/natural-disasters-by-location-rich-leave-and-poor-get-poorer/\">A paper published\u003c/a> in the National Bureau of Economic Research analyzed 90 years of natural disaster data. It found that major catastrophes increase a county’s poverty rate — the percentage of people living below the poverty line — by an average of 1 percent. That’s because disasters encourage those who are well off to leave, and it makes those with low income poorer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a disturbing reality for the counties hit by wildfires this summer. Many of them are already struggling with above-average poverty rates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11691147\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/DestroyedHome-800x541.jpg\" alt=\"The fire completely destroyed Norm's workshop along with all of his tools.\" width=\"800\" height=\"541\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11691147\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/DestroyedHome-800x541.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/DestroyedHome-160x108.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/DestroyedHome-1020x690.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/DestroyedHome-1200x811.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/DestroyedHome.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/DestroyedHome-1180x798.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/DestroyedHome-960x649.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/DestroyedHome-240x162.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/DestroyedHome-375x254.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/DestroyedHome-520x352.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The fire completely destroyed Norm’s workshop along with all of his tools. \u003ccite>(Sam Harnett/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In Shasta County, where Wendy and Norm live, the percentage of people living below the poverty line is 17.5 percent. To the south, in Mendocino, it’s close to 20 percent. Next door in Lake County it’s 25 percent. These counties have been pounded by wildfires since the drought that began in 2011. Take Lake County for instance. Well over half of it has burned since then.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just this year, the Carr and Mendocino Complex Fires destroyed over 1,300 homes. Many of those who lost their homes may never fully rebound financially. Good jobs and affordable housing are hard to replace in rural Northern California. Losing a home can destabilize a family for years or even generations. Many fire survivors from previous years are still in limbo, like John and Ellen Brackett.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11689006/the-shrunken-california-dream-just-keeping-a-place-to-live\">The Shrunken California Dream: Just Keeping a Place to Live\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11689006/the-shrunken-california-dream-just-keeping-a-place-to-live\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/Florida-St-1920x1280.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>John and Ellen’s house in Mendocino County burned in the fires last October.

They often lack insurance and resources to rebuild or move elsewhere. The effects on families quickly add up for a community.

It found that major catastrophes increase a county’s poverty rate — the percentage of people living below the poverty line — by an average of 1 percent. That’s because disasters encourage those who are well off to leave, and it makes those with low income poorer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a disturbing reality for the counties hit by wildfires this summer.

To the south, in Mendocino, it’s close to 20 percent. Next door in Lake County it’s 25 percent. These counties have been pounded by wildfires since the drought that began in 2011. Take Lake County for instance. Well over half of it has burned since then.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just this year, the Carr and Mendocino Complex Fires destroyed over 1,300 homes. Many of those who lost their homes may never fully rebound financially. Good jobs and affordable housing are hard to replace in rural Northern California.
