Welcome to Homer, the Halibut Fishing Capital of the World. You will see in the first attached picture Homer Spit, a several mile long, narrow, piece of land that separates Cook Inlet and Kachemak Bay. This is where our campground is. 7/9/10 Friday: It was a beautiful sunny day for traveling to Homer. On the way, just outside of Soldotna, we stopped at a Large Animal Carving location and took in all the magnificent carvings (pictures attached to this email). We also stopped at a scenic overlook about 10 miles out of Homer, overlooking Homer, and across Cook Inlet at what's called The Ring of Fire, mountains and volcanos that ring the Pacific from Asia down through the West Coast of the US. After a brief travel meeting for our trip to Kenai, the day after tomorrow, then the whole group headed out to Captain Pattie's Fish House for a wonderful dinner.
7/10/10 Saturday: Today was a free day and we spent the morning at the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Visitors Center, another place with many wonderful exhibits dealing with Alaska nature. We then went to the Pratt Museum where we explored the art, science and culture of Kachemak Bay. The afternoon was taken up doing 3-loads of laundry.
