Day 158 - 7th November, Salmon Harbour Resort - Smith River - Crescent City, 13.24 miles

Skoro z rána opúšťame RV park a smerujeme do Crescent City. Najprv nás cyklocesta vedie pomedzi farmy, potom sa vraciame na 101, míňame hodne nepríjemne pôsobiace vezenie. Začínajú sa objavovať prvé sekvoje. Na raňajky sa zastavujeme v malom State Parku pred Crescent City, zmladený, vyrúbaný sekvojový les. Pomedzi mladé stromčeky (u nás by boli považované za riadne veľké stromy) boli stále vidieť gigantické torzá a pne starých stromov. Kým sme zjedli raňajky začalo pršať a pršalo až do rána. Takže sme tu ostali, schovaný v parádnom prístrešku, prakticky v suchu. Aspoň sme sú mohli čítať, čo baterky stačili. Today we woke up very early and left RV park, were we spent the night, before dawn. The Coast Bike Route lead us between farms, off the main road, it was nice, for once biking without traffic. We passed Smith River and returned on Hwy 101, even Bike Route was turning right on D3, but on that road was much heavier traffic. We passed huge State Prison, it was surrounded by redwoods, but still had a very depressive atmosphere. Before Crescent City we stopped in small State Park to make a breakfast. That State Park was actually a small redwood forest, former clearcut evidently, judged by huge, gigantic stumps, which were everywhere. But it had to be a long time ago and now it looked quite nice. Before we returned on the road, it started to rain. So we took our time and have a nice break, reading book and hoping that it will stop soon. Well, it didn't and we spent here rest of the day and also whole night. But it was nice to have a little break.
