The Kenai Peninsula is often called Alaska’s Playground. It is a favorite destination for Alaskan’s as well as visitors from Outside. The awesome scenery coupled with great fishing make this a special place. We spent almost three weeks on the Kenai and really enjoyed it. It is a busy place, bustling with RVer’s, cruise ship passengers, Alaska railway passengers and the many Alaskan’s who here.
Hope
Our first stop was Hope. Since it was 27 miles off the Sterling Highway and there was only one way in and the same way out, it looked like our kind of place. Off the beaten path. And it was.
Sunset, about 12:30 AM! View from our motor home windshield.
Catch of the Day – a prime Schnauzer. A Keeper!
Our campsite on the Touragain Arm at the Seaview Campground.

Neat home in Hope.
Oops! But it WAS in Hope. I have been working on my egg poaching skills.
Homer
We left and drove west on the Sterling Highway to Soldotna. We stayed a night in the Fred Meyer’s parking lot where they have designated RV spots plus water and a dump station. Watched a couple of movies from the Redbox.
It was an easy drive down to Homer. Homer is a neat town at the end of the Sterling. It’s harbor, museums, scenic views, fishing and cruises make it a very popular area. Cruise ships and the Alaskan Ferry dock out on the spit, which is four plus miles of shops, camping areas, fishing charters and food.
We camped on the Spit, which you can see extending out into Katchemak Bay. It is said to be the longest road, extending out into the ocean, in the world.
Check out the Bald Eagle, stopping for an easy bite to eat.

We took a tour boat to the town of Seldovia only accessible by water. It is a charming town of a few hundred residents, who want to get away from the hustle and bustle on the mainland. Here are some photos of Seldovia, as well as the cruise to it.
And back in Homer….
A pretty good size chocolate chipper!!
And a nice motor home

Loved your photo of Homer Spit from the drive up in the hills. I think it was Skyway Drive, or something on that line. Didn't get to Seldovia, so it was fun to see your perspectives. And we missed those big choc. chippers, too!
Glad to see all the good times you two are having.
Love, Love, Love these updates. Photos are fabulous. Keep 'em coming! You're really doing everything "right."
It looks nice up there. Your poached eggs look delicious. I would next try to work on not over cooking the bacon though, looks a little dry. :)
Hey Mo,
The P eggs were good but they vary a lot. I think the freshness of the eggs has an effect - couldn't be the chef. I agree about the bacon, but you know your Mom!
Hi to all. Dad.
