Alaska Journey Day 56
The Day the Noise was Gone
Started calling repair places about 7:30. Struck out five times before the sixth place gave me an option, The Best Shop. They work on big rigs but will do an RV and they had an opening. Turned out to be a brake issue. Best Shop had the parts and we were on our way by noon to Homer. We stopped on the way at Ninilchik, an old Russian village. Some very old buildings - their fishing fleet is still called the Russian Fleet. Met a boat captain, Mike, who gave us a lot of information about commercial fishing in the area and Jim Lee, an ivory carver. The view to Homer was obscured with thick smoke from area fires. We checked in for our morning flight to see the bears at Alaska Bear Adventure.

I met another boat captain, he also had a beard. Maybe I would look even better with one? I liked his hat. The guides seemed anxious about a little plane - I am excited because it means I can fly again. I know I should get back on the Moose Rights program but I needed a rest. After all the new information and speaking several times to “city” Moose, you just need to refresh. Think I will go find a good maple latte or birch even. Where is that bison?
