I will be leaving for Homer Alaska in two hours and will not be able to have any Wi-Fi unless I go to the McDonald's in town so my participation here will be very limited.
I am not going to return until September, helping a friend finish building a house.
But hunting and fishing will be done on a regular basis and I hope to be able to post some pictures.

Doc,
enjoy your summer up there! I'll be about 1 1/2 hrs. up the road most of July, so if you want to do some Kenai River salmon fishing send me a pm.
Homer rocks, it can be difficult to extricate oneself from the Salty Dog Saloon. Ask me how I know.
I've wanted to make a trip to Alaska for many years, but something always got in the way. Now old age and arthritis are perminately grounding me.
I'll be right there with ya, though in spirit only.
Have some fun for me.
Information not shared. is wasted.

Spent a week on Homer Spit a few years back. Even went to a movie in a large quanset hut, with a group of Russian kids dressed in traditional Russian clothing. Sea food was outstanding, and watching the crab cages loaded onto the ships was something else.

Alaska is on my bucket list. I had a chance to haul a load of beer up the AlCan years ago and didn't do it for some reason. Still kicking myself in the butt for that.
Have a nice summer up there and by all means take up the salmon fishing offer

Enjoy yourself in my home town... Few other places with Wifi- Spit Spots has several locations with limited bandwidth for free, or daily/ weekly plans.
been to homer, Alaska as a whole was fabulous. Lucky bugger you are.
Son said Anchorage was 91 degrees today. Wonder what Homers doing? Fires all over the place. Best place to be might be on the water.
Been there quite a few times. Caught a nice king salmon on the fly at the Homer Hole on the spit.
Figures, if it is warm in Anchorage it is cold in MN... 68 for a high today and already dropped to 52...

I am sitting here at McDonald's at 2:44 PM and checking in, everything is great. With the fires the sunsets have been great, here is a picture from the house deck the first day I arrived about 11 PM.
As you can see the smoke has added color to the sky.
I have taken many pictures and hope to post more later.
Today we are going to buy hunting and fishing license's, not everyone is going to hunt but everyone is going to fish.
I used to run to Homer 3-4 times every winter to photograph eagles when Jean (the eagle lady) was still alive. Used to run to McDonalds for breakfast. Two years running I would usually see the same moose walk up to the drive thru window and someone inside would hand out a cookie to the moose. Amazing sight. Never photographed it because I always thought if the word got out McDonalds and that employee would get an ear full since it was technically illegal to feed the moose.

I am back to McDonald's again, not much to report but most of the Sheetrock is up on the first floor and the taping and compound will start in a few days.
I HATE drywall taping and mudding! With a passion!
My dollar is on the wall at the Salty Dog. Celebrated a birthday there with JD shots and raw oysters for breakfast.
My best bud has lived in Homer since 1976.
My dollar is on the wall, too. Was there in 2006. Wish I was there now.
Lol John cleans the dollars off every few years
I was out in Kachemak Bay last Thur & Fri catching halibut with a buddy. We were loading them into a 100 qt cooler.
Earlier in the week we were catching sockeye on the Kenai River.
I hope to be out of Homer again next month chasing after bear and catching more halibut.
