Today we had to check out of the Army Rec Center. They didn't have even a tent site for tonight. The Air Force Rec Center is just down the block and they had tent spaces. We'll be staying there.
I'm sure the Flyboys feel an affinity with mosquitoes, being as they both are aviators. That's no excuse for not fogging the campground.
We used my military benefits to get tickets on a Kenai Peninsula boat tour. We saw a bunch of fish and critters. The captain said we saw more humpbacked whales than he had seen in any of his five hundred cruises. We saw between ten and fifteen. We also saw them feeding in groups. This is unusual behavior for these parts. I have film of some of it. We also saw a glacier calving. I didn't get that on film. This was also the only sunny day in the recent history of the place. Tomorrow it will rain again.
This place is very popular. All the motels and RV parks are full for the weekend There are only a few tent spaces left. There is a cruise ship in the harbor and the train drops folks off here too. This is a very small town but there doesn't appear to be any poverty in this place. Prices are high but not extreme. I like it here! I'm trying to remember why I have to go home!
