Ninilchik, Alaska

    After staying the night in Anchorage, we drove back along the Turnagain Arm and once again had a great view.  This time as we drove we saw a moose and some Dall sheep on the road.  As we headed on the road to Homer we also began to see a bunch of bald Eagles and other large birds.
    Around the Kenai River the traffic was really heavy.  The road was narrow and winding as it followed the river.  It is Sunday today and there were hundreds of folks fishing for salmon.  Parked along an already very narrow road.  After we passed through Soldotna, the road straightened out and moved away from the river so driving was much smoother.
    Matt and Amanda helped to take down RV and hitch it to the truck and then drove along with us.  We used the radios to communicate.  We ate our picnic lunch by the Kenai and then got to Ninilchik late afternoon.  The RV park is OK.  Mostly a gravel parking lot with some grass behind us to look at from our picture window.  It is a campground used mostly by fisherman and has a fish cleaning house.
    We checked in for our fishing trip tomorrow and found that we have to meet our guide 25 miles up the road at 5 am.  We got our licenses and packed our gear for a really early start.  We are going to bed at 9.  We are all really tired after a very busy week.
