My gosh, day 24 already! We are at the halfway point of our Caravan today, sometime it seems like times has flown and other days I think, "Is that all"
First things first! We now have all 50 states covered on our map on the coach slide, just less than 5 years to accomplish that feat! On satellite radio 60's on 6 Phlash Phelps did all 50 in the year he turned 50. Overachiever!
We left Anchorage in rain this morning about 9:00, immediately turned the wrong direction even though the trip log tells us exactly which way to turn. It worked out fine, Miss Sally got us on the Seward Highway with no trouble. About 20 miles out we stopped at Beluga Point, a beautiful viewpoint and Beluga whales are known to hang out there. No whales today, but we did spot an American Eagle. Across the street a "tourist" train was heading toward Anchorage. the train reminded us a little of Orient Express. The scenery was beautiful, we saw several glaciers including the Portage Glacier, the skies were overcast, I can only imagine how gorgeous it would be on a clear day. It seems I'm using the word "beautiful" a lot, oh well it works.
Just north of Homer, we stopped at the Overlook of Homer Spit, we disconnected the car there and took time for a quick photo op. We are at Heritage RV park right on the spit, our front windshield faces Kachemak Bay. Tonight we saw an eagle swooping around looking for dinner. Gary discovered a nesting pair with babies perched a top a construction crane, I suppose all work stopped. The weather feels like the Oregon Coast! Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
I've hunkered down tonight, tomorrow it's supposed to be in the low 60's, we're planning to take the ferry over to Seldovia. I'll have to dig out my long johns!
That's all for tonight, we have a few pictures,
TTFN,
Gary and Pam
