More in Homer....

Watch tall boys have the time of their life... in their stinky, will not take it off, lucky fishin' shirt.
Marvel at Gods handy work, again. The Katchemak Bay looking toward the Cooks Inlet.
See a loon, lookin for lunch
Stand out in front of the oldest establishment in Homer, They say you can tell the average height of the old seafarers, from by looking at the door. There is a light house attached to this building..but I had the honkin lens on ..so Jamie has the best Picture of it. Dang it!
Pick up really neat rocks..out of the kelp. And Shane better have put my really neat rocks in that trailer!! LOL

Trip Check day 3
10/10/07
Made it to Ft. Nelson, BC 12:09 m EST, Traveled 591 miles
will rest a bit today and then head towards Grande Prairie
Saw herds of Buffalo, elk, mule deer, wild horses (that they kids wanted to roundup), dull sheep right in the road...no bear yet.
Elevation 1396 ft.Temp was a "nice" 32 degrees
Jamie said she asked one lady how they knew about the wheather forcast, because she could not find the "local forcast" the lady said "we just look outside..and unless it gets 50 below we don't worry about it." Crossed Canyons..on bridges with on guard rails..awesome but made her legs hurt as she looked back and saw Mack's little face.
Have gone up and down steep rolling mountains so much Mack throws up her hands and says "Weeee" like she is on a roller coaster.
And one last thing...she said the territory is so expansive, the mountains so big..they feel like ants....just a tiny speck in God's great world. She is looking for her cord, knows it is somewhere in the trailer, so she can post..the motel had internet hookup!! Oh, she said it cost about $80. to fillup her car in AK, in BC it cost $90. for a half tank!!! that's more than DOUBLE!!!

I love the scenery. The water is so blue and pretty. The Salty Dawg Saloon looks interesting. They are covering alot of miles. Praying for safe travel & lots of fun sites for the kids.

What a great old building. Lots of character. I love it. It sounds like Jamie and the family are making good progress. How long will it take them to make it home?
