HOMER, AK (Day 2).  Today we did financial work online, went to see the local farmers market, did grocery shopping at Safeway, and arranged by phone activities for the next three days.  I also set up an appointment to have the front end of the motorhome looked at along our route on Aug 6th to see if it needs realignment due to the bad treatment received from terrible roads in British Columbia and Yukon Territory, as well as (to a lesser degree) in Alaska.  The right front tire has cusps along the outer edge.

I finally reached Apria to arrange shipment of CPAP supplies to friends in Idaho so that at least by the time we reach them in September I can have fresh supplies.  They have no presence in Canada or Alaska.

The activities arranged today are for a boat trip tomorrow to see wildlife along the way to the remote town of Seldovia, which can only be reached by plane or boat.  We also spend time in that town before returning to Homer.  It has a strong Russian heritage from the days before America bought Alaska.  It is a popular tourist destination but not crowded due to its remoteness.  Then on Saturday we take a float plane to Katmai National Park, which also can be reached only by boat or plane.  This is where Brooks Falls has leaping salmon that are caught by large brown bears, often shown on TV.  We hope to get some great photos each day, weather permitting.

Before supper we drove along Skyline Drive above Homer to photograph the view down to Homer Spit where our RV park is located.  I have included a photo below.

After supper we walked along the rock-strewn beach of Homer Spit.  Betty collected some rocks and shells to add to her collection.
