Day 3 - 5 Anchorage to Homer & Back

DAY 3

We got up and it was raining for the first day of the trip. We heard about the Earthquake when we were 150 miles out of Anchorage and we never felt anything.

As we headed South it got colder until we reached Homer and it was in the 40's.

Pros about the day: Got to see a small black bear near Skilak Lake turnoff. It was a good opportunity to get some photos.
Found a great fish stew at Cole Point Trading Company. The mostly are a shipper of fish but have a small area they serve food in.
Salty Dog Bar in Homer - Like Captain Tony's in Key West except freezing getting there.

Cons - Other than the bear the trip down was terrible. We stopped at a Glacier but it was so windy the rain stung when hit.

The towns of Kanai and Nikiski were not worth going out of the way unless you want to fish. A number of the better restaurants in Homer were closed for Monday.

Day 4

Clearing but still cold. Last night we stayed in a unique nautical themed B&B called Beach House B&B. A good place to stay. http://www.alaskabeachhouse.com/?gclid=CKenwJnJqZsCFRlcagodtAZ8DA
Went back down to the Spit to see if there were any commercial fisherman. They were having a very low tide so boats could not get out that were at the docks. We started the trek north to Anchorage for an overnight before leaving for Denali NOTE TO SELF - Don't ever stay at the G Street B&B Again.
