Homer to Anchorage



The three boys in Homer. Alex, Adam and our Godson, Connor.




Mark and I in front of the Salty Dog. Famous in Homer  




One of the four volcanoes visable from Homer. They were beautiful!




This eagle had a huge nest in the tree but he was pretty amazing too.




This photo shows the nest and the eagle. You can see how big the nests are if you compare to the eagle on the left.




Grizzly bear playing in the water





A baby moose, about 3 weeks old, that was orphaned and captured.




Lisa, Spence and I after running the mayors cup.




Cade and Adam after their fishing trip. They each caught one fish.




This is how big Adams fish was. He said it was puny!




The boys were on a hike and ran into this bear scratching post. Alex is in front of it so that we could see how tall it was. YIKES!

Well, it has been another great few days. We spent some time in Homer, and a beautiful drive back up the pennisula to Anchorage where we got to see the volcanoes, the bore tide and other magnificent sights. We got back to the VanMeters so that Spence Lisa and I could run the Mayors cup Saturday morning. It was a perfect day for a run and beautiful course along the coast. I didnt die along the way so that made it even better!
We have had alot of fun with the VanMeters (obviously as we planned to leave on Sunday and now we will be leaving on Tuesday) It has been fun with a fishing trip, a girls shopping trip, hiking and moose steaks and halibut for dinner. It was great! Now if only we can get an Air force base in Spearfish so that we can get them closer!
We will be headed out tomorrow and starting our trek for Whitehorse so we can meet up with Bob and Marcia by Friday.
