Homer

We spent one night in Kenai on our way to Homer and will return to fish in the Kenai River on our way out of the Kenai Peninsula. Here's the crowd at the neck of the Kenai River dip netting salmon. You have to be an Alaskan resident for one year before it is legal to fish this way.




We are camped way out on the Homer Spit - a narrow stretch of land between Kachemak Bay and
Cook Inlet - at the land's end! The weather has been cool and rainy. Homer advertises that it is a "drinking town with a fishing problem!" On that note we had to go to the Salty Dog, a popular local bar with signed dollar bills tacked all over the walls and ceiling, and get a "Duck Fart" - a shot glass with a layer of Kahlua, Baileys and Crown Royal! I stirred mine and sipped and it was gooooood!!!



We talked to the owner of this "refurbished" motor home. He bought a Holiday Rambler with a burned out front end from a junk dealer and it is now their home in Homer. They do drive it down the road!
