AHH….sunshine and warmth!
On a foggy morning with low-hanging clouds hiding the huge
mountains around us, we continued south along the Seward Highway. We stopped for a short visit to Tern Lake for
some bird watching and finally picked up the arctic tern which has been mentioned
repeated in the guidebook.
Turning west on Sterling Highway, we followed the path of
the Kenai River, in the middle of impressive mountains and great scenery. The river was full of fishermen in their
waders, going after salmon, and the roadsides were full of small companies that
offered fishing guides. At Kenai, we
turned off to go to the airport to pick up the rental car that I had reserved for
the week, to allow us to do day trips from our campground in Kasilof. While online, it appeared that the only
available vehicle was a full-sized pick-up truck, when we arrived we found that
they had one Ford Fiesta which we took for the week’s exploration.
A short drive south along the coast of the peninsula led us
to Kasilof. Kasilof RV Park is small,
but its location appealed in that it’s an easy drive north or south to visit
the various small towns and interesting spots along the coast. It’s a friendly mom-and-pop business with clean
showers and restrooms, a community fire pit for campfires, free Wifi, a large den with sofas and TV for (please no!)
rainy days, and a large lake just across the lake. Our site is a good one, a pull-through with
trees and shrubs on both sides for privacy, level and graveled.
Looking forward to a week of exploring, fishing, walking,
and relaxing!
