I was told that on the way to Homer there were some beautiful views of nature. I never found them - all these trees, mountians, glaciers, and flowers got in the way, I guess.
This Totem is next to a gift shop where I bought a tibia from a woolly mammoth! The acutal bones of extinct mammals of the tundra are released by hydraulic mining. And one can buy some nice artifacts. They are actual bones, not fossils, but are at least 20,000 years old!
Here is the store where I bought the Mammoth bone.
The halibut boats just got back into Homer Spit. (I'm not refering to actual "spit". It's a piece of land jutting into the bay for a couple miles.)
A church in Soldotna for people who are not too religious, I think - or very small.
A view of Colin's house in Kenai, AK, with the monster 4X4 diesel we took fishing.
Here is Colin with his amphibious vehicle. He has a new one now, I think. The reactor in this one caught fire just after we left, and caught the house on fire, too. All is well now.
Colin loves Salmon! This is Tammy taking a raw one away from him so we could at least clean it first!
This is a view of the bay with fireweed growing along the road. It grows everywhere. I carried a 5-gallon container of water as protection against it while I was there.
Each day we had to put the canoe on the camper, and take it off the camper! (Or was it the other way around?) Anyway, it was a lot of work, but fun. And we never slept as it was light until after midnight. We just fished a lot. Can't wait to go back!
Note the handmade sealskin boots in the display case in a hotel on Homer Spit.
