Homer Aug 19 to 21

  Camped right at the beach at Homer Spit Campground on the end of the spit which is the part of Homer that sticks out into Kachemak Bay. We napped until we recovered from the boat trip, then went off exploring. After enjoying a quick supper of Halibut tacos and guacamole we rode out the East End Road, where we saw glaciers and three moose (a Mom and 2 babies). The next day we had a delicious lunch at the Sourdough Bakery and Café. We’ve seen sea otters and a glacier from the camp site and a whale from the highway nearby.

Plans: When we leave, we will be leaving Mollie at the Wuffduh Snow Dog Kennel, outside of Anchor Point north of Homer on Tuesday the 21^st with a woman named Sandy, who has 19 huskies there! Mollie will get to be one of the boys for several days! We will be leaving on the ferry Tustumina Tuesday Aug 21 bound for Dutch Harbor, farthest point that the ferries go out the Aleutian chain of islands. We will be going by the Pavlov volcano, which is currently very active, lava and ash seen from nearby boats.  We are hoping for clear skies and smooth sailing!  The trip takes 4 nights. Then when we arrive at Dutch Harbor and Unalaska, we will be there for 3 nights at the Grand Aleutian Hotel. Then we fly back to Homer (by way of Anchorage) on Tuesday the 28^th and pick up the motorhome (from the airport longterm parking) and Mollie from the kennel.

I love reading what you are up to and seeing the photos. Keep it coming! We're still hoping for a return trip through Omaha...
