Weather cloudy and raining off and on. Connie and Matt got going around 9:30am they were headed for Homer. We had breakfast and didn’t get moving still around 10:30. No hurry, the Elks Lodge is only 15 min. away in Kenai. I started putting stuff away in the RV, Dave was doing the outside stuff. I walked outside because I hadn’t seen Dave for a little while. When I did I saw this trailer laying partly on it’s side. It was a trailer/camper that fits on the back of a pickup. This one was pretty good size because it had a slide. The people had taken it off their truck so they could drive around so it was standing on the legs it has. The front right leg gave way and bent, she was in it at the time. Their pickup truck was in front and it collapsed right on the side of it, and just smashed the side of the truck. I was bad and took pictures, Dave will post later. The people were from Washington, and just travelling around like we are. The police came by and took a report for their insurance but the trip is stopped for a little while. The camper was fine, just the leg, but it will take a while to fix their truck.
We got on the road around 11:30am and wouldn’t you know it Kenai roads were closed, where the Elks are, because of the town parade. We parked for a little while until they opened up again. Once set up at the Elks, they were having a free BBQ so we sat and had Hot Dogs, potato salad and baked beans, pretty nice of them, it was for anyone that wanted to stop by you didn’t have to belong to the Elks.
We then went Geo Caching. We found 3, one at the visitor center, 1 on Marcus St. and 1 on Alex Rd. Then it was on to the race track. Mike was racing there tonight so we went by to visit with Mike and Linda (Vaughn and Linda’s friends). Mike races his Legend car and has tons of trophy's. He has been racing since he was around 10. The races weren’t starting until 6pm so we went back to the RV to relax for awhile. We went back to the race track at 5:30 and were in the pit area so we got to see everything up close and personal. It was cold and raining off and on, thank goodness we had thick jackets. The races were great, Mike kicked butt against the other Legends but they had midgets, late models ect. it was a good night. By 9:30pm we were cold and hungry so we took off, but the last race was still going. I believe they were going to do fireworks but remember it doesn’t get dark here so don’t think it would have been much to see.
We had dinner at 10pm, boy are we really off our time schedule, then bed by 12:30am. I think we will hang in Kenai another day to check more things out before heading for Homer. We want to do fishing in Homer but with them not letting you fish for King Salmon yet it looks like we will be hanging out here for a week or 2.
