We walked 6 and half miles today. We have a walking/biking trail behind our camper. It is a really busy trail with walkers, dogs, skate riders, and bike riders. Our campfire is between the walkway and the beach. Awesome, (unless you want privacy.)
Lauren's gift of gab has paid off again. We were leaving the campgroound today to go to Safeway, Lauren saw some guys taking their pictures with their fish. He wheeled around, left the ignition running, and checked it out. After about 15 minutes, I turned off the ignition. I knew that this was going to take some time. He came back with several pounds of king salmon and silver salmon. This was perfect in the Zatarain's Fish Fry that Lauren doctored up with spices. It was another great supper.
Ferny has decided to stay in the camper and people/dog watch. As usual, there are a lot of dogs, several of which are not on a leash. We are planning on staying here at least 3 nights. Maybe the next site will be Ferny Kat friendly. For now, she is watching out the windows.
We drove around the bay today and watched fisherman snagging for salmon. Lauren is ready to give this a try. It looks hilarious to me. You throw a hook with about 3 trebles sticking up, (no bait) and try to snag a salmon. As good as the salmon tasted that we had tonight, I hope this works.
We saw some sea wildlife today. We think it was sea otters and dolphins. We were unable to get pictures because they were better swimmers than we were photographers.
We watched a cruise ship leave the dock around 8 pm tonight as we were sitting by our campfire. There were very few people out on the deck on the ship. It is chilly right now.
We are planning on hiking tomorrow and taking a glacier cruise Tuesday. This is the most plans we have made since we decided to leave home.
As usual, we have had another great day in Ak. We have met a lot of really nice folks, and we are enjoying every minute of it.
The good news is, it is slightly warmer here, but it is still cloudy and rainy. We have been chilled a few times today, but not chilled to the bone. There is hope that we won't freeze.
Did I mention the view is spectacular.
