We got up this morning at 8:30 (I forgot to turn on the alarm for 8 a.m.) and we were on the road by 9:30 and headed north on the Seward Highway.
We made a quick stop alongside Kenai Lake to walk Tinker.

We drove through the towns of Moose Pass, Anchor Point and Soldotna – just to name a few.
We stopped at this pull-off to take photos of Mt. Iliamna (52 miles away)

and Mt. Redoubt (54 miles away).

We found this turnoff with a great view of Mt. Iliamna and stopped there to fix lunch.

We arrived in Homer at 1:30 and drove out on to Homer Spit to look for a campground.

We stopped near the Homer Spit Campground and Mike walked over to the office to check for a campsite. They had one that was available just for tonight, so we decided to check on the city-owned campgrounds. We unhitched the car and Mike parked the RV in a parking lot and we drove back up the Homer Spit.
We drove down to the Fishing Hole Campground (suggested by the woman at Homer Spit Campground) and found a campsite there. I drove Mike back to get the RV and by 2:30 we were parked in a campsite facing Kachemak Bay.
Fishing Hole Campground is a self-registration facility and we drove up to the kiosk and filled out the registration envelope and paid $45 for 3 nights’ stay. There are no hook-ups here and the campground is a large rocky parking lot.

Mike drove the RV forward into our site, so we are facing the bay. We have a great view out our windshield of the bay and the Kenai Mountains.

After getting settled in Mike got our folding chairs out and we sat in front of the RV watching the fishing boats until about 6:00. Then we went in to have dinner and then we drove back into the town of Homer to look at the town.
We stopped at the Safeway to get a few things we needed before heading back to the RV, when we saw these bald eagles in their nest. Several people were already there taking photos and we found a place to park so we could get some photos of the eagles.
