Homer and Deep Creek

Final Truck trip to Homer with sunshine and in the 70s.......More than any other seaside town in Southcentral Alaska, Homer has it all!!!!  Voted one of the top ten coolest small towns.....


Fireweed is in bloom


Volcanoes in view


Awesome views


Homer Hill


Smoky Kachemak Bay today


Sea fog over the Spit


Cottage by seashore


Kenai Mountains

Model of 'Deadliest Catch Time Bandit' at Pratt Museum


Tide coming in


Salty Dawg Saloon


Time Bandit of the Deadliest Catch TV Show calls Ramp 8 homeport


Fields of Fireweed


Some call it a weed....others call it a flower


Stop along the drive back


Just pretty


Mount Iliamna Volcano


Mount Redoubt Volcano


A stop at Deep Creek to watch the tractor launch service here get boats from the Cook Inlet back to the beach.  There are only a few hours on either side of a high tide to float them without use of the tractor launch.....What fun to watch....by the way these were all commercial fishermen...no pleasure crafts.....


Down to the beach we go


Another cottage with the view


Your launch is here Captain


We await your arrival Captain


Aim here Captain


You are secure Captain


Away you go...crew and all


OK Captain we are ready for you


Ok Captain you have landed


Off we go...boats are stacking up.....


What a view


Keep sleeping 

Day 65 of our Alaska Adventure.  We have seen the Kenai Peninsula and are ready to head north but still have a week left of our stay.  They do not refund you if you leave early....but I am sure we will not be bored.....lots to see and do.....
Truck has logged 4000 miles since we left home in May.....with Miss Saddi in the backseat.....
