| We drove as far as possible, to Land's End on the Homer Spit of the Kenai peninsula. |
 |
| The Seafarers Memorial that I think was on Deadliest Catch. |
 |
| Low tide goes way out on the Cook Inlet. Looks like the scenes before a tsunami hits. |
 |
And found out that Homer has a cycling club!
|
 |
| A view of one of the four volcanoes across the inlet from our camp at Captain Cooks state campground. |
 |
First bald eagle sighting on the Kenai at Captain Cooks state campground.
|
 |
| Exit Glacier near Seward in Kenai Fjords NP |
 |
| Getting pretty close to a glacier! |
 |
| We're off for the Kenai Fjords dinner cruise! Wildlife was plentiful as seen in the following pix. |
 |
| Lots of different jellyfish...this one was especially cool looking! |
 |
| Puffin. Almost another Alaska state bird. |
 |
| Sea lions. |
 |
| A bald eagle with a fish under his/her talons. the seagulls are not as close as they look here. |
 |
| An obligatory otter. |
 |
| Other cool birds that we didn't catch the name of. |
 |
| Standing dead forest. Due to the 1964 earthquake, this island sank about 6 feet, causing the trees to take in salt water and kill them, but preserve them at the same time. |
 |
| Seems we just had to drive up this road! |
 |
| and there we were able to STAND on the ice field of a glacier! |
 |
| Our trip on the Kenai ended when we traveled through this train/car tunnel to Whittier to catch the ferry to Valdez. |
