A week on the Kenai Pennisula

The weeks go by pretty fast when your traveling around.  We left Palmer last Friday and drove down to Homer. (Map)   We spent 3 nights camped ont the Homer Spit.  We visited a museum and got to see an Eagles next right beside the road.  These pictures are of our time in Homer. (Photos)  From Homer we drove over to Seward where we spent one night. (Map) (Photos) We visited the Kenai Fjords National park and took a short hike out to see the Exit glacier while there.  Next, we drove up to Hope, Ak. (Map)  From Hope we drove up to a campground next to the Matanuska Glacier. (Map) We spent most of a day hiking back to and on this glacier.  (Photos).  This morning we are in Valdez, Ak.  (Map)  We have been here for 3 nights also.  We spent one day wandering around town and visiting a couple museums and then yesterday we visited the old town site, Valdez Glacier and did some wild life viewing out at the Solmon Gulch hatchery.  (Photos)

Doug, if you see Sarah Palin in Wasilla, say hello for me, okay? Well, just kidding, perhaps throw her a dead fish to rot in her yard :) Oh behave! Awesome pics. Lora's sister lived in Homer 2 years as a midwife. Back in Flagstaff, looks like more rain...
