Homer!! Land’s End, Fishing, Tsunami threat, earthquake, views! FAVORITE! 4 nights (departed today Homer 7/18/25, arrived today Seward)


33” halibut, 27” halibut, 1 lg.  yellow-eyed rockfish, & 2 lg. black rockfish



 I was so much looking forward to Homer, afraid I would be disappointed, but wasn’t! Our RV site is on a bluff overlooking the ocean and then the mountains covered in snow. Prettiest by far!













View from our trailer












The Spit, goes way out with a ton of fishing, shops and restaurants. Catching fish off the end was an afternoon of fun catching cod, along with Francois doing a day trip catching halibut, yellow-eyed rock fish, & black rock fish. 

We had a morning of kayaking, that a boat took us way out to some islands. It was really peaceful with some seals and otters and starfish to be seen.

Yesterday, we took a ferry to Seldovia Island. While we were in a golf cart roaming around, we got the tsunami alert. All the locals told us we were to go to the elementary school on high ground. We ended up being there one and a half hours before the all clear was sounded. I’m sure you heard there was a 7.3 earthquake in Alaska off the Aleutian islands. We happen to be in the southernmost part of Alaska that is drivable. They were evacuating the long Spit area. Luckily we weren’t in kayaks yesterday.

 Hi everyone! Hope all is well. In order for you to get a notification that I post something on the blog, I think you have to log in and make an account, which is fairly easy, FYI. We have had an amazing time in Shasta staying at Lake Siskiyou campground for 4 nights. Jennifer and Rob, and Christopher Ferrouge all joined us for this stay. Scott and Penny are here also. The men golfed on the most gorgeous golf course the first day! We’ve had a lot of fun, biking, and beach time and then today we rented a boat and caught five trout! It’s been so beautiful. Shasta dam and the sun dial in Redding are shown below too.  Tomorrow we plan on going to some waterfalls with the family, and then going separate ways and continuing with Penny & Scott. Next stop is Crater Lake! Shasta Dam Sundial in Redding Jennifer & I biking the trail around the lake  Lake Siskyou Penny & Tilly, Oreo & I

Took a ferry across to Top of the World Highway and then Chicken, Alaska! & more! (Dawson City, Tok, Fairbanks)

Chena River, Fairbanks  Hi everyone!    One of our highlights this week was driving the Top of the World highway. It definitely felt like the top of the world! The roads are crazy, rough, and we ended up in the little town of Chicken. They’re downtown was a saloon, Café, and gift shop. We have been in several Cities with tours, talks, and shows. A salmon bake, sternwheeler ship excursion, potluck for July 4, and more. We saw a fox, and Caribou while driving. We arrived in Fairbanks, the other day, to actually stay for four nights, finally! The only thing that is a little bit of a problem here, has been a fire nearby and lots of smoky air. Francois’ has been fishing a few times and caught a few little trout. I think we are having it for dinner tonight. The weather has been in the 80’ the last few days with no rain. We are staying at the Fairbanks/Chena Northpole KOA right now. Congratulations to Alex and Kiana, our nephew who got married yesterday in Idaho! So thrilled!...
