Still at the Russian River.
Charlie went fishing early this morning, and I stayed and took care of
our internet connection. I was able to
update the data pass and get connection well enough to enter a few blogs, but
too slow for many pictures. I did get
the one of Charlie talking to Santa uploaded though- which was an important one. : )
We have decided to take the ferry over to Kodiak Island – I
called and made the reservations. We
leave Homer on the 22nd, and come back the 28th. We will be taking Didi over there and hope to
leave Bessie in overflow parking here at the park. It is one of those things we both decided we
needed to take advantage of while we are here.
They have the world’s largest brown bears (due to their being well fed
by the salmon there) and the wildlife and fishing is supposed to be very
good. We are excited about going.
We gathered some wood for our fire tonight, we even have our
awning up! It is the first place we have stayed long enough to do
that. It rained again, so Charlie went
out and washed off Didi and Bessie – Didi is actually shining – she badly needed a
bath.
Cooked most of dinner over the campfire tonight. We had fried potatoes and grilled corn on the
cob, and salmon patties. I did cook the
salmon patties over the camp stove, everything else was over the wonderful fire
that Charlie built. I even roasted marshmallows. It was all delicious,
the potatoes were a bit smoky from the fire, but it made them even better and
the corn we had purchased at IGA was fresh and sweet, and perfectly done. Probably not as good as "Curtis corn" we both hate we will be missing that this summer....
We sat by the fire for a long time tonight, Charlie made another great fire, which was a good thing , because
it was pretty cool out there when the wind started blowing.I think it has been in the 50's during the day and 40's at night. But the bugs do not like the cold and have virtually gone into hiding!
Charlie said he saw someone catch 5 fish today, (dude in red
sweatshirt) - we have got to figure this out- and start catching some too1
