After speaking to Mary Jane Russell at the Alaska Islands and Ocean Visitor Center, we are anxious to make this trip down the East End Road as far as the road will take us. She mentioned the great food at the General Store in Fritz Creek, and sadly we didn't take any pictures. The food, however in the little deli, is the best restaurant food we've enjoyed in Alaska. Do stop by and partake!
Above, two of the volcano's in the Ring of Fire - awesome. The next few pictures are taken from the East End Road overlooking the Spit and most of Homer. We each take a picture of another to prove we are here!
Farther down the East End Road, more breathtaking scenes come into view.
Isn't this a great illusion? It's as though we are going to drive right up onto the glacier!
And guess who likes Alaskan Lupine? Ms. Moose didn't seem to care that we stopped right in front of her.
Kachemak Bay narrows as we come almost to the end.
Here we surprise Mrs. Moose and her two calves.
Having returned along the East End Road, we want to stop by the Salty Dawg for a look-see. It was so crowed, we took these few pictures and left for home to enjoy a brewsky.
Finally, to end our day, right in back of the Salty Dawg, someone's catch for the day. If you have ever wondered why Halibut is so pricey, you can see the size of the fish which yields two fillets and two cheeks.
On the way home, we wonder what everyone is looking at. We find a Bald Eagle nest with two huge babies. It seems mom, sitting on another tree, is explaining to babies that room service has ended. If you want to eat, time to learn to fly. Apparently they did, as the next day they were gone.
Coming next: Carl E. Wynn Nature Center
