Decided to stay another day at the Elks, in Kenai, wanted to do some more touring around the area. Once we got going in the a.m. we drove to Nikiski. A lot of oil docks there, Chevron, Tesoro, Unocal Chemical ect. Found one Geo Cache while we were there.
We went back to the RV so we could pay the Elks for another night. Then we headed out driving again. Saw a moose on the side of the road while driving to Clam Gulch. When we got to Clam Gulch we parked and walked down to where everyone was clamming at. Right down to the ocean, there were tons of people there plus all the 4 wheelers. I guess today the tide was perfect for clamming, at least that’s what the tide charts showed.
We then drove to Ninilchik and looked at the 1 of the campgrounds there, right on the ocean. We drove around town and checked on how the fishing was going. One boat had just gotten back and they had lots of Halibut. We watched the crew cleaning and cutting them up so the people could take them home. A little girl, about 11, had caught a 19 pounder, which they said was the average size.
We drove around a little more then went to a site seeing spot because they had a geo cache there. It was somewhere out on the rocks so we went climbing out there. It had been raining on and off and the rocks were wet and we decided it wasn’t a good time to be climbing around. Should have had our hiking boots on. Anyway, starting to get back out my foot slipped off the rock and down I went. Thank goodness I landed on a soft rock, ha ha. Tried to break my leg but didn’t just bruised it good.
After that we headed back Soldotna to fuel up the jeep and top off the groceries. Back to the RV to relax and fix dinner. The Elks was having a dinner but with the smoking in there we just couldn’t stomach going back in there. Tomorrow is Homer.
