Alaska week 1

We left the big city and headed down the Kenai Peninsula parked ourselves at Quartz Creek for a few days.This is all about fishing down here --big time harvesting of Halibut in the bays and sockeye salmon in the rivers.Salmon running in the Kenai River now and up the Russian river this week when we get back up there.So salmon fishing is more like snagging --you use a wet fly --drag it of the bottom fish are not eating when spawnning so the fly just irritates them and they bite it to get out of their face then you yank the pole to snag them . The locals all make this a havesting project to fill up the freezer .Everyone is armed with 44 mags even the ladies.Mim wants a bazooka-I keep telling her to stop reading all the bear warning and what to do phamplets.Went to Seward on south side of the pennisula big shipping and fishing town on the way back stopped at Exit glacier 300 foot deep crevases --melting pretty fast wont be around for the next generation.Moved over to the north side of the pennisula to Anchor point camped on the Cook Inlet looking across the bay we can see the Katmai park and the Aluetian Range with 5 active volcanoes--waiting for a clear nite to get a picture of them.So were down on the beach watching boats come in --they land them with these huge log skidders to get them back on the trailers --we walked right up to this magnificent eagle feeding on a fish.So many of them down here --like pigeons.They are beautiful to watch fly over the campsite at dusk 10:30 pm.Last town at the end Homer a drinking town with a fishing problem lies right at the base of a snow covered mountain range.We haved resolved that we are so lucky to be in cooler temps then the hot --humid stuff in new england ok if you believe that.Moving up to Denali Nat park next week.
