Kenai Peninsula Weather

The weather has been consistent the last week, 55 degrees and rain showers. Even the locals are lamenting that their gardens have stopped growing. Just to show you how varied the weather is on such a huge land mass like Alaska, Fairbanks has topped 80 degrees already this summer. This morning we did have full-on sun and a good look at the mountains. Nice!

The Ninilchik Public Library has become one of our favorite haunts. I'm reading about Captain James Cook and his voyages of discovery. I knew Cook Inlet right behind me was named after him, and that things ended badly in Hawaii, but I was amazed to know he took a single ship out from England and found the east coast of Australia. A good read.

We're well over 1/2 way thru our time here so rain or shine I've started doing maintenance on all things on wheels in anticipation of becoming a road warrior again. The latest project was to adjust the king pin on the fifth wheel trailer and the matching hitch in the bed of the truck to get the trailer to tow perfectly level. It wasn't off by much, but I might as well make it as good as it can be. I even gave the pin box on the trailer a fresh coat of black paint.

Summer wear Kenai Peninsula style.
