7-13-2011 Seals in Homer Fishing Hole

Every high tide, 2-4 of these seals would make it into the fishing hole.

Homer Spit, on the Kenai Peninsula, was another lovely place to camp and one of our favorite locations.  Totally dry camping, but worth it as the view was awesome ( Mtns, the Fishing Hole, lots of seagulls and Bald Eagles, as we were pretty close to the fish cleaning tables).  Our last trip in 04 we were oceanside, but this one was much more fun, watching people fish and close ups of the eagles.  

They call this the Fishing Hole.   Tide comes in and goes out over on the right where the people are fishing.  Oftentimes seals come in with the tides.

The guys trying their luck.

View of the Spit from Skyline Drive.  We camped way out towards the end.

The first rough day when the guys didn't get out.

The boat the guys never got to fish from!

Stopped at the Fred Meyers in Soldotna for the night.  Fred Meyers is like a Super Wal Mart, and they let you stay in their parking lots for free, up to 3 days.  Rolly had gotten stopped while on the road by another driver who heard something and smelled something.  Couldn't find anything until we got to Fred Meyers..broken spring shakels (sp?).  A garage loaned (yes,no charge!!!) floor jack, safety stand and large hammer.  Ended up getting a larger jack.  The 3 guys (yes, BrianB you're a great mech!!) got the job done by 5 PM.  Relaxed for the evening and watched Deadliest Catch.  Boy, I've gotten hooked on that show now LOL....
