Part of our adventure of trying to get gas was our encounters with eccentric and aggressive individuals at our stops. At several stops I was confronted and was mildly frightened by the experiences. I had my wife lock the door to the MH while we were stopped. Along our route and at our stops there appeared to be many apparent drug and alcohol challenged individuals. It was a truly sad situation.
I searched crime statistics for Eureka/Arcada and they are in the top 1% for crime in the US, and lead the country for cities their size in many categories. It is unfortunately a city that has lost control.
In the 57,000 miles that we have driven all over this country, I have not had that experience. Of course, tomorrow is a new day. Sorry to hear of your situation. It can certainly 'taint' an area when a bad experience occurs.
Safe travels,
