| Homer Boat Harbor |
We packed our camping gear and bikes and headed south to the end of the road, Homer, Alaska. When we had our boat, we made that pilgrimage every other weekend for many summers in a row, but without a boat, the obsession for water and fishing disappear quickly and the desire to drive 450 miles round-trip isn't quite so strong.

Seeing as it had been awhile, we decided to make the journey south. On Saturday, we escaped the fog filled Homer Spit where we were camping by biking out to the end of East End Road, which doesn't have much of a shoulder, but it did have almost brand new pavement for the first 12 miles; the last 8 miles were very much frost heaved, but also less traffic.
By the time we arrived back at the campsite, the fog disappeared and the wind died down. We spent the evening walking the docks. The next day, friends invited us to fish from their boat. It was pretty slow, but we still managed to bring home a couple of halibut. After we already had filleted and packaged the fish, we remembered that none of us even took any pictures.
But later that evening when we walked the other half of the boat harbor docks, we did find plenty of eagles hanging around and posing for pictures.
