We hang out in the morning since it is still raining. It stops around 9:00AM.  Walking around the parking lot there are 50 RV’s here.  I assume many have already left. I had not noticed that there is a sign directing RV’s to a parking lot on the side of Cabela’s, but only half the RV’s are parked there.  

One thing I have been noticing since we got to BC and Alaska is these Super RV’s that the owners have shipped over from Europe, usually Germans, Dutch or Swiss owners.  The tires are nearly 5 feet in diameter.  I have no idea on how they would change one of these tires. The RV’s are around 10 feet tall and look like military vehicles, except for the paint colors.  The undercarriage clearance is 2 feet, they can go anywhere. There are two of them here at Cabela’s

We finally leave around 11:00 for Homer, still overcast but not raining. The first 40 miles is along the very scenic Turnagain Arm. Named by Captain Cook when he was looking for the northwest passage and came up another dead-end.  I assume it was originally called “SOB we have to Turnagain”, but they shortened it.  We stop for a late lunch at a pull off overlooking the Cook sound and the snow capped mountains across the sound in Lake Clark National Park and Preserve.

Arrive at our Campground for the night, Ocean Shores RV Park.  Very nice park overlooking the water.  We have one of the few sites without any hook ups, which we don’t really need for one night.  Our site has a nice view of the Kachemak Bay.  Late in the evening fog rolls in and it’s get’s dark a little earlier.
