Ryan picked out his future boats
Homer Harbor
one of the boardwalks
Lucky Pierre
Ryan complains that these views suck
another day in paradise
moon is going down already
pretty colors at sunset
cheers
Salty Dawg Saloon - local hangout on the spit (and very touristy too)
hey Jason, are you ears ringing?
checking out the beach at sunset
well, really it was the fish carcass container near the shore
on to bigger and better things
taking flight
we saw this guy hanging out at the theatre during intermission
waiting for dinner
Dead Man's Cellphone - it was entertaining
local theatre on the spit - we caught the evening show
Here's looking at you
otters - around the spit
we stayed in that room at the top - out on Homer Spit
view of Homer Spit - end of the road
Welcome to Homer -we are fishing Monday!
oh yeah, we picked up Garrett and gave him a ride to Homer - he's a student working in Kenai for the summer
Mt. Illiana - only steams - no major eruption in recorded history
Mt. Redoubt last erupted in 2009 - yep, anchorage had to close airport for a bit
Pacific Ring of Fire
don't mess with me
Ryan eyeing the cool water
a beautiful lake along Sterling Hwy - can't tell much, but the water was a rich turquoise color
going back up through the clouds and out to the valley
big pools on the glacier
the gray spots are actually ash from Mt. Redoubt last year
standing on a glacier in the Alaska range
snow in july - he was just glad to be out of Phoenix
small plane that took us there
on the biggest inland glacier in alaska
me and ryan
southface of denali (I think)
Ryan looking out the airplane
Denali, Hunter, and Foraker (or maybe just 2 of them?)
Talkeetna Air Taxi
we landed on a glacier - not the same one from 6 years ago (that Jason and I landed on)
another world up top
Denali peaking up through the clouds
our first look at a peak (think this one is hunter?)
lots of rivers converge around Talkeetna
up through the clouds
when we took off there was no guarantee we would see peaks or a glacier
