Soldotna

We were relaxing in the campground yesterday afternoon. It seemed like every day we were off running around doing something, and I felt a little down time was warranted. So we went to the St. Elias brewery for lunch and came back for a little nap. It felt nice doing nothing for a while. Especially since we're in the middle of a heat wave. Neither of us feels like hiking in this heat, but napping...that's another story.

Today we drove to the city of Kenai and beyond. If it weren't for the smoke we would have had some awesome views across the Cook Inlet to the Alaskan Range. There is a fire just down the road from us in Sterling; fortunately we are headed in the other direction on Thursday towards Homer. We're still debating if we're going halibut fishing or not. We'll make a decision when we have all the pertinent data.

I think that tall amber ale I had with lunch is sneaking up on me. I feel another nap coming on. Till next time.
