Kasilof

Moved to Kasilof on the 1st of July,  to stay over the holiday weekend.  Waiting for Homer to empty some, so we can find a decent park to stay in.  Decanter Inn RV park is almost deserted on this holiday weekend.  After arriving, it was easy to see why.  We had to search the sites for electric that worked.  And the rest was boondocking.  But the weather is accomodating with cool nites and mild days.

I say "almost deserted", but, in truth, moose life here has been very entertaining.  After seeing Mama moose with 2 calves saunter past our RV and encoutering Bullwinkle while walking outside, the place is pretty alive after all.

Got our fishing licenses and so we have cast a few lines into the lake waters here.  More practice then anything for me.  Haven't fly-fished in quite a while.  Had to dig out instructional DVD to take refresher course.  Trying to get geared up to visit the fishing capital of the world, Homer.  It was interesting to visit the hardware/fishing stores here.  The size and amount of fishing equipment sold here is an eye-opener to the fishing industry that is here.

Taking a halibut charter on the 7th, out of Homer.  Hopefully we will catch some to ship home to the kids.  That would be a wonderful souvenier for all.  Plus, a good time for us.

Drove to Homer yesterday (60 mi) to catch a sneak-preview.  Busy place.  Marv kept telling me I would like Homer, but wasn't real specific about  why.  Well, you just have to be there to understand it.  The massive bodies of water with the snowy mountains in the background and a mysterious foggy like appearance...well, you just have to be there.  He is right - I do like Homer.
