26 June

The day started off with rain, no great surprise, so we headed off to Homer.  Homer is on the western side of the Kenai Peninsula.  It took us a while longer than it did getting to Seward, because we were got caught in road work, which we didn’t see on the Seward spur.  The road splits and one leg goes east to Seward and the other to Homer. 

 About fifteen minutes before we got to Homer it finally stopped raining.   The wind was still blowing, which helped break up some of the clouds and we actually saw the sun this afternoon.  We checked into our most expensive campsite to date, $50.  Hopefully this will be the most expensive for the entire trip.  We checked another place that wasn’t advertised in our Trailer Life book and it was $55 plus pay showers.  So of course we’ll be staying 2 nights here.  I had promised Roger for his birthday a bear seeing flight trip to Kodiak Island.  So tomorrow we’ll be flying to Kodiak to see the Kodiak grizzly bears. 

We then went to lunch and had the best meal we’ve had all trip-- Halibut bites, delicious fresh caught yesterday.   After lunch we walked the Homer spit and checked out the beach and water temperature.  Then we looked at boats and saw a guy cleaning today’s catch.   We also saw some other halibut from another charter’s catch.

 

We drove up to Bear Winery, as they had wine tasting that one of the campground desk staff recommended.  What was really nice about the spot was the flowers.  The arctic lupines were huge.

Just thought I'd also show you the view from our campsite.  Roger is a "happy camper."

Hopefully, the weather will hold for flight seeing and bear watching tomorrow.
