Day 3: July 6th
Lake Kenai - Homer
Woke
up to clear skies, did some photography around the lake and Cooper's
landing area. Took a shower and after seeing others at the showering
area, I am a firm believer in wearing flip-flops.Turns out my plantars
wart isn't the scariest thing out there.
Had lunch at Gwynns' Cafe at Russian River and when
I cam out, the air was filled with smoke. Apparently a fire had started
just up the road from there and was filling the valley with smoke.
Russian River was still slow as the second run of sockeye
has not started. Drove west to get past the smoke then decided to
see if I could take pictures of the fire. Turned
off on Skilak Lake road and came accross a small bull moose just off
the road. Road was closed just a little ways ahead.
Drove to Soldotna and through Kenai. Then cut up to
the Swan River Lakes area. Almost ran into a moose calf as it jumped
out of the trees. Then it sat in the middle of the road calling for
it's mother. Being in a Ford Focus, I was hoping it wouldn't show
up.
Took photos of Russian Orthodox churches in Kenai and
Ninilchik and some rivers.Also stopped in Soldotna Clinic to see where
there put the hooks in a dummy in the same place they remove them
from fishermen.
Ended the night sleeping on the spit on Homer.
