If you do go to Eureka let me know. I checked out all the "nice" restaurants and can help you with that. Mostly we did basic sight seeing and walked the town/shops. I agree exactly with what BigBob said about comparing to Austin and the gay situation. If someone hadnt mentioned the gay thing, I wouldnt have even noticed. It seems like some of the restaurant staff could be gay but thats not too uncommon. I heard a decent percent of the locals are gay but all you really notice are all the tourist which seemed pretty "normal" to me. Various attractions for tourist may or may not be "in season". The Passion Play is a must. I think the fishing and trout fishing can be excellent but no first hand knowledge. I think its Beaver Lake that has trout. That White River looks nice and parts of it I think has trout. We will probably go back to mostly fish next time(so keep us posted).

it's nothing like Austin. It's a beautiful little town and a good visit. don't worry, even in San Francisco you don't get attacked by gay people. go have fun and don't worry about the other folks, they're trying to have fun too.
