Question

Why Humboldt County?

Answer

Camden and Sara hold Humboldt very near to their hearts. Not only is it a beautiful destination, Humboldt provided so many memories for the couple. Camden was born and raised in Hydesville, CA in the heart of Humboldt. He shared with Sara his experiences growing up in the area, introduced her to Humboldt culture, and history. Sara also lived in Humboldt for some time, while attending Humboldt State University from 2013-2015. Sara was able to give Camden a new perspective of his home County. She introduced him to new places he never experienced while growing up.
