Mission
The Redwood Coast Miata Club (RCMC) was created to feed our natural excitement for the Mazda Miata. Our goal is to create an environment where members can share good companionship, exchange useful technical knowledge about cars and modifications, as well as experience driving "in train" along the hundreds of miles of perfect Miata roads that exist along the Northcoast.
Location
The County of Humboldt, situated in the midst of the last great redwood forests, is tucked mid-way between San Francisco, California and Portland, Oregon, and is home to Humboldt State University, the northernmost campus in the California State University system. This is also known as the Six Rivers area, named for the six beautiful rivers that flow to the coast all around us. Humboldt County is the perfect spot for enjoying a slower pace of life without pollution, overcrowding and traffic jams, and with plenty of great Miata roads leading off in all directions. Ahhhhh.
For maps and more information about the area, check out the Eureka Chamber of Commerce on the web, or the links page.
Events
On a regular basis, weather permitting, members participate in a drive up, down or away from the coast. Drives have included the Avenue of the Giants, a run to Willow Creek for brunch, the Steelhead Lodge ribs run, the Marble Mountains Loop run, a Prairie Creek Redwoods run, the Lost Coast run and many others. Some members of the club also attend drives or events put on by other clubs around California and Oregon throughout the year. Check the events calendar for upcoming activities.
Meetings
& Gatherings
When the fit take us, some of the members will occasionally gather at a local restaurant, cafe or brew pub to plan future events and to enjoy a good meal and possibly a microbrew with friends. Got suggestions for an drive? Feel free to e-mail the webmaster and let us know what you're thinking or would like to see in the Club.
Message from the President
Hello, Miata owners! When I look back over the past several years of owning a Miata, I remember it all started with Austin leaving a note on my windshield in the county parking lot, asking if I would be interested in helping to form a Miata car club. Eventually Austin, Joyce, Chuck, Audrey and I got together and formed what is now the Redwood Coast Miata Club.
Our goal for the Club was to share with each other the fun and comradeship of talking about and driving our Miatas. This goal has certainly been accomplished and wonderful friendships have been formed in the process.
Now, we look to the future. We are not sure what is coming, but we're eagerly awaiting the chance to drive our Miatas on new roads and adventures.
Your humble servant,
Jack
