@Greentea: I know that Redwoods are in California, but I didn't know they were in Humboldt County! I lived in the Bay Area for a while, but don't know California very well at all.
I talked again to the guy today and explained to him that over 60% of people in our poll hadn't heard of Humboldt County. He couldn't believe it! Among the people he knows, 100% of people are aware of Humboldt County. He said his friends are in the counterculture, which helps make sense of why he was so surprised. I'm not tapped into that at all, which explains my total ignorance too!

@SugarplumsMom: haha basically! It was the whole hippie movement in the 60s, which kinda morphed into marijuana production. Some earlier posters described the transition way better than I could!
