Travel day from Homer to Seward, 59 degrees to start, 164 miles, heavy traffic with folks returning to Anchorage after a weekend of fishing. We had a bit of a late start as our CO detector alarm decided to go off, probably from the diesel fumes from the big rigs, took several tries turning on then off before it finally stabilized. Holy Transfiguration of our Lord Russian Orthodox Church was our first stop to see the church with a veterans cemetery that was very moving as well as the parish cemetery for church members. Services were about to start as this is Sunday so we were not able to see the interior.
We made a stop in Soldotna at the Fred Meyer store for groceries and their fuel station for diesel. Got a nice discount per gallon from our points on the Kroger card, 10 cents off. Shortly after leaving Soldotna we had to put on the brakes and the supplement braking system on the car froze the wheels on the car and we left long black streaks on the road. Got out and reset and continued without incident. The was some great scenery along our route. Some with dramatic skies.
Arriving in Seward we entered the City RV Park where we have view of Resurrection Bay from our Unity. Nice! Holland America cruise ship was in port at Seward and docked just west of our campsite.
Update meeting at 5 PM for plans for tomorrow. Dinner was at home with fried chicken and salad, Yum! No TV here so we read after our dinner for a while and made it an early night as tomorrow will be an early start.
Smoky Bear was our only wildlife sighting today.
