Intending to hike in Prairie Creek Redwoods SP, we made our way south down the Drury Scenic Parkway, which runs the length of the park. The air quality deteriorated quickly and we turned back, hiking the Damnation Trail again. The setting today was completely different, much less dramatic without the fog. We hiked north on the coastal trail which descended into an area with much underbrush and smaller redwoods. We considered ourselves fortunate to have seen the mystical beauty of yesterday.
Back in Crescent City we practiced casting in the Smith river. Using yarn instead of bait, we pretended to fish and were in compliance with fishing regulations, no fishing due to low flow.
We are pleased to have tried our shower for the first time. It works well and we are grateful we can avoid using the campground facilities.
