Kathy's to Whittier to Homer

After we left Kathy's,we drove down Turnagain Arm, went through the longest mountain tunnel in North America, it is 2.5 miles long, it is also shared by the Alaskan Railroad. It takes you to Whittier,this picture is on the docks at Whittier.

Typical scene along the Seward Highway.




We are camped at Stoney Creek Campground, this is taken at 11:00 p.m. at night, stays light out a long time, we finally just close our eyes to make it dark.




This is Exit Glacier. Is this the viewing area ? No ! Is this the toe ? N0! Is this the Edge? Yes! That is all the further we could climb, 1.2 miles up a mountain path. The continuation of this trail goes another 7.5 mi. to the surface of the ice.

We had lunch at this seaside resturant in Seward, ate Halibut, very good.

Camp-sight scene across Cook Inlet in Homer.
We are having a great time, we are going on a Halibut fishing charter tomorrow and will not have access to internet for a couple days.

  1. Looks so majestic out there.....you both need some beauty sleeping eye cover-ups, that might help take the light away! Looks like you're having a blast. Tell everyone hi up there.
