Day 32

Sunday 6/22/03
Drove into Homer for a look-see, and drove the road that went N.E. from Homer to Kachemak along the mountain ridge overlooking the bay. The road offered a great view of the Kachemak bay inlet where Homer is located. It wound around the tops of cliffs with sheer drop-offs with no guardrails so prudent driving was definitely in order. The road ended about 25 miles from Homer. There was an un-maintained rock and gravel extension so we continued on it to the end of that section and ended up in a Russian Orthodox Settlement of houses, a school, and a church called Voznesenka. The inhabitants wore ethnic clothing and the children just stared at us without speaking. Used 4 WD to get back out onto the road. Drove back to Homer and went to a small gift shop/book store where we bought the new Harry Potter book on CD and a book on Rocks, Minerals and Gemstones. Later in the day we took pictures, walked the beach on the spit and visited with other campers.
