Whittier- Wallawaw Campground

We got up and went to a hearty
breakfast at Duncan House. On the way back, we stopped at Safeway. Then, back to the campground to shower and pack up. The sea was like glass this morning, and it was the first day it felt even remotely warm. Last night, I had my winter jacket, gloves, a buff, and my wool stocking cap on. Today my long sleeved T-shirt felt too warm at 60 degrees.

We both enjoyed Homer, but we agreed that the busy touristy Spit was not as nice as the town except for the views.

Out 190 mile trip today was again filled with great views of the volcanos across Cook's Inlet and then later the Kenai River and finally the mountains.

We are at a large but very private National Forest campground. Lots of trees and the sites are nice.
We are near a nature trail, and we can see a glacier on the nearby mountain.

Tomorrow, we will go through the "tunnel" to the town of Whittier. It is a deepwater port and was constructed as a secret military base. More on it tomorrow. We are taking a brief marine wildlife viewing cruise. I don't want to be seasick, so I picked a shorter one with a no seasickness guarantee. I am also taking some Dramamine, and I think Phil will, too, after his bout of illness while fishing for Halibut earlier in the trip.Read more
