Trip to Alaska and West Coast

August 26, 2013 – We departed Anchorage about 11:30 am and arrived in Homer, AK at 6 pm. What a beautiful drive along Cook’s Bay with mountains surrounding the bay and several glaciers on the mountains. Our campground in Homer- Oceanview RV Park- sits on the bay and has a great view. You can go to the beach if you like cold water and black sand. They can have tides up to 39 feet. Today, it is only going to be 14 feet with 2 lows and 2 highs. There are warning signs along the beach to not walk to for out on the beach because some places are like quicksand and the tide comes in ever 6 hours.
