Kenai Peninsula

After Anchorage we headed south to the Kenai Peninisula. We saw sights like this along the way.

All along the Kenai Peninsula, we saw the same combat fishing everywhere we looked. Here is a view of it in the community of Kenai. This photo was taken where the Kenai River, a major drainage, dumps into Cook Inlet.

These posters were hanging in the visitor center. Apparently there are a lot of people who get fish hooks and weights in their eyes.

We stopped at Funny River Recreation Area to see our friends Kathy and Dusty. They were campground hosts just north of Coldfoot for the first couple of seasons I worked there. They were back at Funny River for their second summer. Originally from Michigan, it is always fun to chat with them. They gave us some freshly caught salmon. We feasted on it last night. It was delicious.

Tonight we find ourselves in Homer, the end of the road. To get any further south, we will have to travel back north. We have spent the day checking out the sights around town and along a road that follows Kachemak Bay. We hope to visit the Home Brewing Company and Salty Dawg Saloon before the night is over.

Kachemak Bay Views. There are people who have this as the view out of their front windows!!

Boats, boats and more boats everywhere you look. Homer really is a fishing community.
