HOMER, AK JUNE 18

We had visitors early this morning--three bunnies eating dandelions. Still no bears!

We are taking the Seward Highway north and connecting to the Sterling Highway going west to

Homer.  Note:  these pics were taken at 5AM...sleeping in seems to be a "no can do" sunrise at 3:43AM

 Good Morning- What would a day of travel in Alaska be without 

Road Construction

 Quartz Lake--hard to see the color matched the sky

 Waiting..Waiting..is it my turn yet?

 Kenai River was lined with fisherman snagging Salmon

 Absolutely fantastic fishing where the Russian River meets the 

Kenai River and lodging was nice...I'd stay there.

 The river was really rushing

 Double ended inflatable boat lodged against bridge

Know what that feels like..boat against a bridge.

 Mt. Redoubt faintly in center of snap, across Cooks Inlet

                                                           X  marks the spot..it's there-really

 Better -Mt. Illiamna

 Lots of float planes

 Darn bug splat ruined my picture!  

 Entering Homer Spit-a long narrow peninsula into Kachemak Bay

 Town of Homer-the bay is surrounded by Cook Inlet's Ring of fire

Mt. Redoubt, Mt. Illiamna, and Mt. Augustine--active volcanos

                                             The Homer Spit in the distance

 Miss Dora is camped there-somewhere

 Roadside posies

 Tides out-tanker in background

 There she is..the red and white one

You should recognize her by now!

                                        The view from our campsite--they just keep on getting better

 Birch trees

 Tomorrow-weather permitting-going to Seldovia-only way to get there is by boat or plane
                   Oh Boy..get excited.. a water taxi over and float plane back
