I live in southern Humboldt. I have two sons, Jeff and Chris. Jeff is living in an RV in my backyard at this time and Chris just moved to Chicago. Chris graduated from HSU in 2008. I have a small house on a little over an acre with fruit and walnut trees and a garden. The yard work is taken care of by four black sheep which I haven't yet sheared this year. I use hand shears, not electric. I also have a dog, a cat, bees, and chickens. Highway 36 is in front of my house and the Van Duzen River and Cummings Creek is in back. Wildlife visits daily.
