South Kenai and Homer

We spent a few days in the south part of the peninsula. 

We visited friends Gene and Joyce at the Deep Creek State Recreation Area, where they are working for the summer.  We drycamped along the beach, just five feet above and ten feet from the high tide line. 

The two main activities at this SRA - fishing and bald eagle watching.  Many salmon carcasses on the beach attract eagles and gulls.  One morning I counted 18 bald eagles along a 50 feet strip of beach in front of us.

From there, we drove 30 miles to Homer, another fishing and tourist town similar to Seward.

Big news there was the Hoka Hey Motorcycle Ride from Florida, ending in Homer.  Bikers were arriving in twos and threes, some learning for the first time that others wonder if the whole enterprise was a scam.

Since we don't fish, the park was so far from everything but fish, and we faced a forcast of rain for seven days, we returned to Seward.  And moved back onto the same site we occupied during our last visit, The Best View We Have Ever Seen.
