Touring Homer, AK

July 30, 2015

We decided to take the Homer Trolley around town to see what there was to see, then we could drive back to where ever we wanted to see more of. Although tourism is now the #1 industry, it was and still is a fishing village.

The Homer Trolley, came right to our campground to pick us up. Had a great driver, he was full of information!

 The office of our campground, Ocean View RV, and some of our caravan buddies.

 At first I thought this must be someone's collection off of the beach, and maybe it was. But, now I think it's called art???

This Eaglet looks almost old enough to be kicked from the nest, but for now, he is still waiting for Mom or Dad to bring him some food 

A nest of twigs...doesn't look very comfortable to me!!

A family of 8 or so kids raised in this old wooden boat? Maybe it was classier back in day?

 This campground has wonderful views of the bay and the mountains, but the sites are around $60/night, and that's the caravan rate! To rich for poor old SMART folks!

 We walked through these small, but cute shops. Most of the stuff in them is made by Alaska artists. Another piece of trivia, this part of the 'spit' is owned by the Hilstrand family, if you watch Deadliest Catch, you will recognize that name.

 Glacier topped mountains surround Homer. These mountains are on the backside of the Kenai National Park

 The Seafarer's Memorial reminds us that Homer's roots are in the sea

 The F/V Time Bandit is home based in Homer
