Chapter 13

People who live in Crescent City have a special opportunity to live a unique life of being so close to the wilderness, yet still be right by the ocean. The mountains to the east of Crescent City are filled with amazing wild life that loves to adventure down into the properties of the families living on the outskirts of the town. I grew up watch the deer eat the blueberries off the bushes in my backyard. It always upset me because I loved the blueberries and never wanted share with them. I remember nights being outside on the back porch sitting in the jacuzzi with my sisters and parents watching the bears cross the backyard. Going on hikes throughout the mountains gave opportunities to also see such wildlife. Elk were also a popular animal to see, although they were a little but further south, we would on occasion have the chance to see one stomping through.

Much like The Empty Interior disscussed in chapter 13 of our text, Crescent City and the area around it was "empty" not much outside trees and wild life. This said "emptiness" provides hours, days and weeks of entertainment though. From hiking, hunting, fishing, camping, and even rafting. There is never a dull moment living so close to such a gorgeous feature of our country.
