So,
why are we going to Homer? Two reasons:
- Lots of folks have said we should.
- It feels like we’re going to the end of
the road because we
can’t go further south on the Kenai Peninsula unless we fly or float.
The Route
The drive to Homer was 83 easy miles. We left Kenai on Bridge
Access Road, connected with Kalifornsky Beach Road and then Sterling Highway
which took us directly to our campground.
About the Day
It was very pleasant again… mostly sunny, light breeze, low-60s.
Along the Way

We explored Old Town Kenai
and visited the Kenai Visitor and
Cultural Center before leaving town ...
 |

 |

Sterling Highway …
 |
| The highway followed Cook Inlet to Anchor Point |
Entering Homer …
 |
| Viewpoint has a nice greeting |
 |
| Eagle's nest on a hillside overlooking the viewpoint |
Touring Homer …
 |
Homer 4.5 Mile Spit, Airport and
Beluga Lake (float plane base) |
 |
| Spit Seafarers Memorial |
 |
| Spit Marina |
 |
This single lane, gravel road is the entrance to
All Saints of America Orthodox Church ...
we found it curious. |
 |
| The church sits at the end of a steep, rutted road. |
The Campground
We’re in Oceanview RV Park
in Homer. It’s a dandy with terraced sites leading down to Kachemak Bay. Our tight
back-in site was a challenge, but our front-row view of the bay made it worth
the effort.

| Site #42 |

Tomorrow
We’re going to retrace much of the road traveled in the past two
days to get to Seward.
