This is our rental home for 2 weeks.

At the Sealife Center in Homer overlooking Resurrection Bay.

Getting ready to board the ferry behind us that will take us to Seldovia.

(Sat. June 12) we stayed in a remote campground on Skilak Lake not for from Cooper's Landing. This was on our way up from Homer. It was a dry camp. (In otherwords, no water, sewage, etc.). There was an artisian well with a pump on it. The water from it was absolutely wonderful. We filled a couple of 2 liter bottles with water and put in the frig.

Today we saw a couple of bears and mooses on the sides of the road. They were too quick for me to be able to get their photo.

We came on through Anchorage today. We are now in north Wascilla.
