Heading south

Kenai River: This place will look completely different when the salmon start running.

Known for combat fishing in the salmon season

Looking for wildlife...

Found a sign...

AND a moose cow!

Homesteading house in Soldotna

Dentistry on a raft, maybe that's my niche!

Kenai: Oldest Russian Orthodox Church on mainland Alaska

Oil rigs off the coast in Nikiski

Rock of rocks in Captain Cook State Park!

"Welcome to the Heart of Recreation"

Town of Ninilchik: Notice the RVs in the background. Folks are getting ready for razor clam digging.

What's he up to?

Watching the eagles.

Russian Orthodox Church still in use in Ninilchik

Western most driveable point in North America

We made it to Homer.

A view of The Spit, which became significantly smaller after the 1964 Earthquake.

An early morning start to a day of fishing

Headed out to find some hungry halibut

This was my second catch; my limit for the day

 

Does this photo remind you of "The Fishing Channel?"

What a day!

Toby fileting today's catch

40 lbs.: vaccuum-packed and ready for travel

 

Mmmmmmmm good!

Some people take ATVs out on the flats to dig for clams. The view across Cook Inlet from Ninilchik takes in an active volcano range. On a clear day, Mt. Augustine is seen to the far left, with Mt. Iliamna, Mt. Redoubt, and Mt. Spur to the right.

This doesn't even begin to show how muddy we were after clamming!

If you look closely you can see the razor clam's necks exiting these shells(except for the ones Robert cut off with the shovel)!

The clam in my right hand (to your left) is called a "Redneck." We felt right at home.
