Fishing off the end of Homer Spit was good, B caught his first ocean fish (as shown) - and we were given a freebie from a fisherman on the shore who wanted only halibut and was catching cod. What a good lunch that was!
I had mentioned that Homer Spit was made of gravel and rocks from a glacier, and now you see what that does to tent pegs! The 3 on the right are what the pegs should look like.
On our way north from Homer we stopped at a place called Clam Gulch. It was perfect timing - low tide, and all sorts of people were there in their rubber boots and clamming tools. There was even a young bald eagle sitting on the cliff overlooking the bay.
We are now back in Anchorage for resupplying. Our next stop will be Denali Park, home to the tallest mountain in North America. We will be spending the next 7 days there, and I'm not sure what, if any, internet or cell service we will have. Fairbanks is our next city, and we expect to get there on July 24th. You'll hear from us there, for sure! For our "Spot" friends, we will continue to check in everytime we move to a new campsite.
