Alaska Journey Day 60

Stuck in the Sand Day

After a morning at the bakery and craft filled farmers market in Homer, we moved north to attend church in Kenai and to explore the National Wildlife Refuge that occupies most of the north end of the Kenai. The NWR-VC is nice but very hard to find. We finally parked there as the rain started and got quite wet on a short walk. Then off to the water front campground recommended by the volunteer at the VC. Disaster. First, it was overflowing with anglers. Second, it was on soft sand. Before I knew the situation, we were in axle deep. I had to unhook the trailer while a very helpful fisherman named Juan brought in his heavy truck and we put my tow hitch into his truck. I drove down the road a bit and he followed a few minutes later. We re-hooked and decided we needed solid ground. We are at the Wal-Mart tonight.

Cadillac’s Most Correct Viewpoint

Once again Moosieness wins out. Our driver got stuck in 8 inches of sand. Heh. I barely know if 8 inches of sand is on my hoof so he should have asked for my advice. BdB sent word that he would meet us in Kenai. I am just amazed he got hold of us as we were moving north and he said he had some news for me. About time. How hard could it be? The library was good but I need more resources so I will wait until Anchorage. No notes yet from the lovely ladies I wrote to - I wonder if they are arguing amongst themselves about who gets to write back to me? I think that must be it. A companion for Moose Rights would be nice.

Flowers at the market

Possibly the best pie ever. More research soon.
