The weather could not have been better on Friday as we headed out of Anchorage and drove south down Turnagain Arm. It was warm and sunny so I gave all of my outside plants and flowers a good soaking in the morning before we left.
D purchased an '06 Toyota truck last fall and it is fairly luxurious compared to his old one. Looks great with the new topper and it's convenient to have second row seating back there.The window between the cab and bed is electronic so it rolls down with the touch of a button.

| Whizzing by on the highway. The dilapidated structure is an old home near the Whittier turnoff that was destroyed during the 1964 earthquake. |
 |
| This is Canyon Creek, the area where D proposed to me almost 2 years ago. |
 |
| 4.5 hours later, we arrived in Homer! The thin piece of land jutting out into Kachemak Bay is the Homer Spit, which is where we stayed this time. |
 |
| Although the weather was great on Friday in Homer, we knew the rain was coming. This is our tarp city - encompassing part of the boat, truck and tent in our campsite. |
 |
| We purchased a site with electricity to run the freezer and vacuum sealer. |
 |
| Vacuum sealer from home, to package our halibut filets. |
 |
| New Coleman double-burner stove! D made some great breakfasts on this, and we had fresh beer-battered halibut and pacific cod on Saturday night. |
 |
| One of our smaller chest freezers from home. |
 |
| This is luxury camping for us! All the extras that we can't usually bring along on boat trips due to weight restrictions...real chairs, a big water jug, lots of food, a big stove & grill (as opposed to our tiny backpacking stoves), extra clothes (for me, ha ha) and of course, running water, electricity and SHOWERS!!! |
 |
| Time to eat! |
More to come!
