Homer to Nikiski

While traveling north from Homer, we read about the community of Anchor Point. Supposedly this is the farthest west you can drive on the North American road system. You can get to spots further west, but you need to take your vehicle by boat or air. We have already traveled to the farthest north (Prudhoe Bay outside Deadhorse) so we thought we should take advantage and capture the moment with a photo.

After we left Anchor Point, we traveled north to the small community of Nikiski (Nik-is-key). While we were at the Talkeetna Bluegrass Festival, a girl told Dave about the beaches there. She said we shouldn’t miss them. So we took her advice and went up to see them. Unfortunately, the sun was not shinning, so we didn’t spend too much time on the beach. It was uncanny how much it looked like the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The dogs had a great time exploring.
