Homer-the Halibut Fishing Capital


KC Notes:7/2/11
          FISHING FAIL! CAMPING KRAZ! (camping was so crazy fun it deserves a k) We went fishing yesterday in the nice sunny weather and we caught no fish at all! It was so annoying! But that same day we decided to sleep at a hotel a day early. The only problem I had with the hotel was that there was no pool. But the next hotel we stay at will have a pool and then that’s when im going to get a picture of my cousin Zack in a bikini.(inside joke) 
 
Overnight in Morgan LandingStill trying to catch a fish, ZJ is determined to hookum and cookum!
Sleeping at Eagle River was quiet and pleasant. More busy than we like, but thought it a good spot just 15 miles north of Anchorage. Nice river, and usual clean state park environment.

A bit of traveling south thru Turngain Arm, along the river and on to Kenai Peninsula. Holiday weekend so we decided to get a jump on the weekenders.

Overnight in Morgan Landing- Sterling, AK:
ZJ is still working on catching dinner, not very much running now but we are sure his first hit gave him more inspiration to get the trophy dinner.
Quesadillas were the best we could do, but the fire was cozy at the pit.

 On to Homer, nice drive, saw caribou, Moose, eagles, and the spectacular scenery onward south on the Kenai Peninsula. 
Spring growth is very amazing, and the gardens are far beyond what I would expect. Guess sunlight from 4AM thru 11PM might have something to do with it????It surely has an affect mentally .
No big excitement besides relishing the scenery….Stay tuned!!!!!!!!
