At Quartz Creek we did some hiking and berry picking..We also saw a Lynx from our dining table, but were unable to get his picture.
A great day for berry picking
Blueberries
freshly cleaned berries....ready for a pie. Yum! Yum! Sandy makes the best Gluten-free crust!!
We traveled to Soldotna, Alaska. The Fred Meyer's parking lot was our dry campsite for three days. They allow boondocking for 3 days in their lot. An attendant checks all license plates every evening and enforces that rule. While parked there we spent lots of money at Fred Meyers...I am sure that is their intention. We took our tow cars out for daily tours.
Flowers Flowers everywhere...we found these at Veronica's Coffee House in Kenai.
Right across the street from the coffee house was this Russian Orthodox Church...Holy Assumption of the Virgin Mary
Artic Loon
Fireweed....I think it should be the state flower since you see it everywhere, while the Alpine For-get-me-not is so hard to find
Cranberries
Pumpkin Berry
We found this Gluten-free store. How exciting for me....needless to say we bought a few GF items.
When having our picnic lunch we saw this tiny baby bunny hidden in the tall grass....in fact we almost stepped on him.
Next we traveled to Homer. We stayed at the Homer City Campground. Nothing to shout about, but we were on the waters edge and close to the shops...out on the spit
Be sure to visit the shops.
Everyone must visit the Salty Dawg, that is if you can get in...standing room only!! Be sure to duck.

Here we are ready for our float trip down the Kenai River. It took us some time to get into our gear. I'm sure it would have helped us much if we had overturned...I sure with all the weight we would have sunk and the water temps would not have helped us either.

From our raft we spotted this Eagle
Chuck
Me, don't you just love the outfit.

We are now in Seward, AK. We are staying at the Seward AF Base Famcamp.

The first thing we want to do is take a Glacier cruise. Lunch is on board so we found a ship that will have a Gluten-free option.
Here we are aboard the Alaskan Explorer
These birds are having quite a chat

A whale from a distance....we saw several, but it is hard to get a picture...they move quickly and the boat is also moving forward,up and down.
The sea otters are so cute
