Our last 2 campgrounds have been on the sea. I've included a couple pictures from my campsites. In Seward we were parked on Resurrection Bay. In Homer we camped on the Spit. The views are beautiful. In fact every time you turn around the view is beautiful, whether you're on the water, driving the road, or just staring at the sky.
We've been looking at glaciers everywhere. One we approached in a boat, one we approached by foot, and one we approached by helicopter. And a number of other ones we viewed. When boating, we were told the lake we were boating through had been covered with the glacier, and was made from the glacial runoff. When we were walking toward the Exit Glacier, there were posts all along the way showing where the glacier began in what year. Of course, it has receded miles since they began recording. I think the first year of recording was 1889.
I just saw a bald eagle flying over the sea in front of my rig. I wish I had had my camera ready.
Today we took a boat over to Seldovia, a cute little seacoast town, reached only by air or boat. It was affected by the 1964 earthquake, when the land sunk about 6 feet. It also has been influenced by the Russian culture through traders of many years ago. There is a Russian Orthodox Church, started in 1820, with the current structure built in 1891. On the way, we saw puffins and sea otters. The boat received a "Mayday" alarm from a boat taking in water, and started to turn. However, another boat was much closer, so we continued on our way.
Today, a number of our caravan went halibut fishing.They all caught their limit, so tomorrow, we have fish for dinner. What a life!!!! I am so fortunate!!!
