Ninilchik - Engines stop

We're here after a quick drive down from Soldotna. Janet and Les dropped off at Clam Gulch at their campground  hosting venue and Lin, Rich, Joyce and I continued on to Deep Creek Beach at Ninilchik our summer hosting spot. This is the same location we hosted in 2006. It was 41 degrees and blowing a gale from the north when we arrived - typical early season weather. We did see three bald eagles catching the lift off the cliffs to the south and took that as a good sign.

We spent the early afternoon laying in propane, getting a library card, joining the Ninilchik Health & Wellness Club, checking out the General Store, and ordering a pizza from the Friday night fun raiser the high school runs. We broke out the Wave 6 catalytic heater and are all fat and sassy watching the tide roll back in. Time to get the trailer set up and organized, it feel into a bit of a jumble the last few days on the road.

Some local prices:
Gasoline $3.72
Diesel $3.84
Propane $4/gallon 
We be Clammin' dancing moose tee-shirt at the General Store - priceless

 A good afternoon for a nap.

  3. Congratulations, you made it! It looks gorgeous. Must say, the weather is not a good advertisement for a departure 2 days from now -- sunny and 70 degrees here at home, 41 and gale force winds there? Maybe you'll talk us out of coming after all. Just kidding. See you in 2-3 weeks. Cathryn and Bob
