Can you tell we love the beach? I find water peaceful. Even when the tide is out as in these pictures we still enjoy walking along. There are some very interesting rocks on a beach at least at this one up at Cook’s Inlet State Park. One part of it you can drive on the beach, mostly we saw four wheelers, but as we were about to get off two trucks zoomed down and headed north. At Bishops creek you weren’t allowed to drive on the beach. The trucks had big containers that were square with scab written on them. Didn’t have the opportunity to ask them what they were looking for. Agates are found once in a while but you don’t need a big container like that to collect them. At a store a lady said the glass globe floats are rare to find now days. Whether you find anything or not beach walking/strolling is relaxing.

The Salty Dawg saloon has been in business since 1957. Got interior pictures on previous post or so, but forgot to get an outside one. The ol’ guy who started it had homesteaded on an island that was on the way to Seldovia, the captain said his daughter still lives on the island. Google it, the dollar bill thing I don’t remember why but there is mooga money just on the walls!!! Being old, a saloon and all it smelled old and well used, bet there have been plenty of fist fights in the past there, spilt beer/drinks and who knows what all else is included in the smell of those walls!

Oh the big fishing net and the guys and trucks you see on the beach are netting salmon.

Residents, not just natives get to net fish. Don’t think you can buy a net that big in Colorado, hahaah.  Very interesting rock huh?  looks like rocks were thrown into a pot of cement…. oh heres the same moose pics, loaded from phone before forgot and am not attempting to try to delete them!!!! hahaha not THAT tech savvy!!!!  ahahah

The state park campgrounds here on the Kenai peninsula are lush with trees and folage, it makes camping very private between camp spots. This is a picture into the Cooks Inlet State Park.   These wild geraniums  are all over.. Cliff washing some sand he got in Canada.  And lunch time at Cooks State Park Oakley was wishin’  !!!!    haha it was just a few days after her big adventure!

Onward tomorrow for us, on the 4^th of July. I’m loosing my internet connection that is secure, so……….I may get brave and post a few things from my phone from a coffee shop possibly. Our travel companions are heading to Deadhorse and its over 400 miles north of Fairbanks. They want to fish along the way, it’s suppose to be great fishing and then tour the Purdhoe Bay area. You have to take a tour bus because of the pipeline, it’s a secure area.

We will be heading to Seward for a day or two, Cliff would love to fish again on the ocean for halibut, I’m still waiting for whale sightings!! So gotta get to the ocean again! Whittier, Talkeetna. Anchorage stopover to visit seriously with Verizon (rep in GJ wasn’t very truthful with me about my service up here, can get calls but even though I have 4-5 bars of service my data won’t work, no texting or connecting with the net) 😦 camping close to the Kennicott mine and touring it north of Valdez, and possibly Valdez is still on our agenda here in Alaska.

Cloudy, to partly sunny is in the forcast for this next week, one day had all sunshine, but just like in Delta County the weather app constantly changes as the day goes by. Mother Nature is still in control of the weather.  Got picture happy 🙂

Stew at the Holloway’s had tons of veggies, but the smoked salmon dip was to die for………..yum O………be jealous all you want…….home smoked and made..!!!!   🙂  🙂  🙂

Happy trails……. Karen
