NTA Day 37

Here's the thing about Alaska:  You constantly think that you've seen the best scenery there is to see, and then you go around the next turn in the road.  So we left Palmer, north of Anchorage this morning about 9:30 with our destination being the KOA campground at Homer, which is at the southern end of the Kenai Peninsula, about 250 miles.  It took most of the day, mostly because we kept stopping to "oooooh" and "ahhh!"  Lots of mountains on either side of the Turnagain Arm, which is actually a fjord off Cook Inlet, which is actually a huge bay running from the Gold of Alaska all the way to Anchorage.  Unfortunately, it was a relatively hazy day, so the photos we took are not of the best quality, but we're hopeful that conditions will be better on the way back in a coup[le of days.  The Alaska Railroad, which runs scenic tourist trains between Anchorage and Seward, runs parallel to the highway for thirty or so miles, and Jennifer was quick enough to catch a shot of the northbound train.  That's on the list for a second trip to Alaska without the dogs, maybe next year.  The final shot (lower right) in the sequence are from our campsite.  This KOA is a real find.  Milepost 5784.
