Eureka was founded in 1850, and became a thriving seaport for loggers, gold miners, and fishermen. The weather in Eureka is cool all year around. If your idea of heaven is baking in the hot sun, this isn't your place. It doesn't have a tower, but it does have a 24-hour Flight Service Station that provides local airport advisory service. In fairness, they almost always do have fuel.
Parking is five bucks a night, on the honor system.
We usually rent a car from the Avis, Hertz or National counters in the terminal because Eureka is a town in which a car is a major asset. If the weather is VFR, treat yourself to Murray Field. Parking at EKA is also five bucks a night. It has a 2,700-foot unlighted runway. The rooms are furnished with authentic antiques from the early 1940s, and even the old radio room, dorm, and mess hall have been preserved, all lined with pictures of it's past history.
