The weather was good today, pulled into a treed and grassy campground in Palmer at 3:30, with temp at 67 and partial sunshine. After being parked on the beach on the Homer Spit for 2 days, it was great to get things dried out and to shake the sand out of everything. We stopped at the Anchorage Costco en route for gas and nuts.
Day 52. Evening. Homer, AK
Sunshine! No Rain! It was a beautiful day in Homer, although chilly and windy out here on the spit. We did the tourist thing: The Dawg, National Wildlife Reserve visitor center, East End Road view drive, the bluff above downtown for the views, fish and chips for lunch on the Spit, smoked salmon and champagne for dinner (at home in the EDGE).

There were several para-sailers or para-surfers, whatever you call ‘em, out this afternoon, followed by some guys using the same parachute thingy with a modified skateboard on the beach. It looked like a hell of a lot of fun; I wish these toys had been invented when I was a bit younger and more flexible and more resilient and more fearless.
Pix are of Kachemak Bay/Cook Inlet and the Spit, both from afar and up close.
Tomorrow’s destination is Palmer or thereabouts.
PS: Please accept my apologies for not reporting this earlier. On our way from Fairbanks to Seward, we passed through Wasilla and stopped there briefly to look at Russia. We’ve never been to Russia and were really looking forward to getting a glimpse of it. We were disappointed, though, couldn’t see it after all: there were mountains in the way. The darn things apparently just rose up out of nowhere a few months ago.
