Today we traveled to Homer.
The day started out with a 2-hour delay in that our truck wouldn't start. So we had to call the Ford dealership to have it towed in and then called Enterprise Car Rental to have another truck delivered to us. Can you believe we rented the same color and model of our truck. We left our trailer in Palmer, and we are staying at a hotel in Homer while we are here. I guess we're having trouble with those "T" words again.
We're praying its not going to be an expensive ordeal. We are going salmon fishing tomorrow and will be on the boat, the Halibut Hunter, at 6 a.m. sharp!
We keep saying this but you would not believe the beauty here. This time we saw an active volcano for the first time. It had smoke coming out of the top of it. I guess it's really steam but smoke sounds more dynamic! Very impressive.
Alaska has 15 earthquakes a day on average. We haven't felt any yet but the summer is young. We toured the Wild Animal Conservation Area in Girdwood and saw how the 1964 earthquake sank the ground by 10 feet. It allowed sea water onto land and the area affected by the water flood still displays dead trees.
Attached are some of the pictures we've taken so far.
