Alaska Sunday XXV

.

Homer Alaska

A short break from the trip log. I have not had time to post lately due to prior commitments, and have not had time to compile milages and locations.

Here are a few photos from the stay at Homer, AK. They have a great RV Park on the spit which juts out into the bay. Before we drove down here to stay a few days, I had checked the tide tables to make sure we would have some exposed tidal flats for exploration. It worked out great. The only problem was the wind while we were there. It was fierce. The trailer jumped up and down all night. As typical, on the day that we left, the wind calmed and the sun came out. Oh well, we had a great time anyway.

Be sure to click on the photos for a better look, especially the Starfish


Entering Homer
Great,great,great food here.


The Spit
That's a town at the end and several RV Parks (expensive)


We are in the second row
The first row was $20.00 more per night. I used the extra $60 I saved,
to help with the purchase of a nice Inuit Basket



Tidal Flat exposed
The bottom was firm gravel and rocks,
so we could walk all the way to the drop-off.



Martha found a nice Starfish
Zillions of Mussels, Crabs, Starfish, etc.
Our backs were really tired from the bending over.


Notice Martha's red hands from fishing around in that really frigid water.


Comments appreciated.
Have you been here before? Are you planning to go?
