I wasn't planning on doing much in Crescent City, my first coastal city. Grab some info on the local redwood forest (info stations in the park are closed this month), grab a bite, look at the ocean, move on. But after tooling around the big trees for a while, I became distracted be the prospect of a marine mammal rehab facility and set out to find that. Just east of Battery Point, my guide book says.
Maybe so. But I didn't see it, and I ended up walking out the pier at the point, taking pictures of the lighthouse, which is only accessible at low tide, and watching people fish for crab. Old men, young couples, a family with an adorable toddler, a middle-aged woman. Everyone and their brother was out crab fishing in the middle of a Monday. And one enterprising harbor seal was foiling them all.
My favorite guy: The 60-70ish man who said it was good for me to go hiking because it "keeps ya off the streets."
