Alaska Journey Day 78 / by Dave Hileman

Moving Day

We left Homer with great memories, nice photos and a pantry full of pie from the Pie Guy and baked goods from Two Sisters. This was a day of finishes.

  1. Went to four stores to buy some things we had been thinking about getting for gifts

  2. Completed the fishing trip by picking up the packaged fish and storing in the freezer and Tom gave a lot away.

  3. Bought: gas & propane

  4. Trip to the ATM

  5. Drove to an overlook to see a perspective on the bay

  6. Cindy got a really nice knife from Tom - useful for the kitchen

  7. Stopped at the farmers market

  8. Broke camp, repacked things for the short drive to Soldotna

So, that was the morning. Nothing exciting extraordinary except the eagle that landed near our campsite. He was really large. Our drive north was beautiful and we could see across the bay for the first time to the snow capped, glacier filled volcanos that make up a lot of Lake Clark National Park. 

Cadillac’s Most Correct Viewpoint

Finally some peace and quiet for me to get ready for the huge announcement tomorrow. So much to do, I must not get distracted by anything. I did get a nice letter from one of the ladies I wrote to that I met in Denali. She was so pretty and clearly adored me. I need to get the guides to return to Denali so we can have a berry-date and get to know each other a bit. But can’t think of her now, got to concentrate on tomorrow. I have to finish a lot of tasks. Of course, it would not hurt to stop and write her a short note. Won’t take too long. She was very pretty and smart and, I think, entranced by the Moose Rights idea. Sure, good idea, I could use a short break.
