Jul 1 – We had a good drive to our next stop Ninilchik, Alaska. It’s a small fishing village of 770 about 30 miles from Homer. We passed lots of great looking rivers and streams on the way, many of them were being fished by several fishermen. Once we got the MH set up we drove to Homer hoping that our friend Terry would be finishing his 9000 mile, “Hoka Hey”, race from Key West, Florida. He didn’t come in that day.
The next day we went to the beach area to check out the fishing boats. There were lots of eagles in the area and people clamming. There were some commercial fishermen selling their catch to a refinery. Gary went to watch and ended up buying a nice red salmon for our supper. After that we went back to Homer to wait for Terry. He came in about 7:00. He was pretty tired and tired of sleeping on the ground for over a week. We followed him to his hotel room, bought a large pizza and sat outside at a picnic table at 9:00 at night (still light by the way) and ate pizza and had a couple of beers while looking at the gorgeous view of the bay. While we were there we heard an avalanche across the bay. It was a strange sound as it echoed off the islands and across the bay.
