Down the Rabbit Hole!

AS you can see, we've been exploring on the Kenai Penninsula! We discovered a gravel road which goes south into the wilderness. THEN we stumbled across this track leading down (the operative word, being DOWN!) toward what we thought was Sterling Lake. Since Walt's truck has 4-wheel drive, and he was in the lead, he got to go down and see what was at the end of the track. He popped right back up saying that there was a ratty trailer and a mean-looking pit bull. We found someone's favorite fish camp aparently!
The road continued for 11 miles and passed many lakes, most with a few fishermen and the occasional RV parked on an open spot lakeside. It's a whole different life here.
Today is a rest day with Garth washing the truck and I baked a pineapple upside down cake for dessert tonight.
Tomorrow we will drive 2 hrs. back to Anchorage and pick up our friend Mary K who will be traveling with us for a week. We've lots of fun things planned for her, starting off with a 3-hr float trip on the Kenai River. Garth will most likely pass on that, suffering from mal de mer, as he does. He may do something really exciting and wash the RV!
We DID see our first bear fishing for salmon a mile from our camp! He was on a riffle and the local fishermen were giving him plenty of room! It was so funny to see 20 men fishing the river not 100 yards from the bear who was doing the same thing!
