On a sunny Saturday, February 10, Redwood Voice’s Ethan Caudill-DeRego went out in the field to interview some members of the Lost Coast Aeromodelers Association, which is a club that builds and flies radio controlled planes and helicopters in Del Norte.
Join Ethan as he learns about what the association is all about, what the members specialize in, and how to get involved in flying model planes with the club yourself.
It’s not everyday that someone takes on a challenge for an important cause. But when they do, the world becomes inspired and is happy that it followed that person’s journey!
After years in and out of prison and addiction, Kyndal Ray Edwards (aka A Walking Testimony) was moved to change his lifestyle, and go on a journey-walking across America for mental health awareness and recovery.
This is Redwood Voice’s Monique Camarena here. While Kyndal was passing through, I got to ask him about his experiences so far, and from those experiences, what youth, specifically, could do to recover from addiction and help their mental health.

On the Eve of Christmas Eve, Crescent City’s car connoisseurs came along to the Del Norte County Fairgrounds for the very first Christmas Car meet. Hosted by Keegan Crabb, the Car Meet was a spectacular sight to see. Not all cars that showed up were decorated, but it was still cool to see (and hear) all these supped up sports cars speeding by.
In this video, take a look at Crescent City’s first ever Christmas Car meet with Redwood Voice’s Rory McCain, and Ethan Caudill-DeRego.
Over 400 people gathered in Crescent City harbor on December 16th the see the spectacular spectacle that was the Harbor’s first annual Boat Light Contest.

Redwood Voice Youth Ghost Hunting & Parapsychology, the most logical use of our time and resources, takes its first steps into the abandoned Elk Valley Casino. (Not to be confused with the not-abandoned Elk Valley Casino.)
The case is obscure, reports are wild—chainsaw-wielding maniacs, undead, bones, and a strange spirit with a golden face who embodies the ghost of avarice and bad decisions. Will the team uncover the mysteries deep within the bowels of the casino? Or will they… not do that?
Welcome to The Lycaeus Frequency’s Cryptid of the Day, a month-long series detailing a cryptid one day at a time for the month of October—by Redwood Voice’s Sebastian Monroe.
Today’s cryptid is the Elk Valley Field Dwarf. Reported in Del Norte County as recently as 2018, these creatures grow no taller than 3 feet in height. They appear as dirty humans with modes of dress pulled from dumpsters and nearby woodlands. They also have been seen to steal toddler’s clothing to use for their own purposes.
Though the Internet lacks depictions, statements, or sightings of the Elk Valley Field Dwarf, Dwarves themselves have been spotted, depicted, and adored in folklore and pop culture at many times, in many forms. These are the Völuspá Dwarves, written in the Poetic Eddica poem “Völuspá” (ad 800-1100). This depiction is from Danish artist Lorenz Frølich, 1895.
Their natural habitat lies in the fields of Elk Valley and other similar biomes. They are known to be extremely difficult to document due to their immense speed. They’ve been reported to run at the speed of a car, keeping pace with a driver from the Park City Superette along the fence until there was a large patch of grass where it turned off into, not to be seen again. They’ve caused many a fright for nocturnal travelers on the road, giving off an aura of malice to those who have witnessed them.
So far though, no malicious acts have been perpetrated by the field dwarves. No one has yet had a conversation with or seen the corpse of a field dwarf, so it is likely they have a society somewhere out in those fields where they choose to bury their dead. Regardless, the species is elusive to this day, so taxonomical work has been limited.

So, should you be driving down Elk Valley Road at night, keep an eye out and you might just spot one.
This has been the Lycaeus Frequency Cryptid of the Day.
