Soldotna.
After weeks of weather in the 60s on the coast, we move inland a little and now it’s 80 degrees. Back to one-shirt weather! This feels pretty warm.
Nice little campground. We’ll stay here a couple days. It’s time for an oil change on the Jeep. It’s certainly time for a new air filter judging by what the outside of the car has been looking like! Soldotna is a big enough town it has a Jeep dealer *and* a car wash.
Before we left Homer, I photographed a bunch of boat tops not currently in use.
I thought maybe these were winter gear for working boats and they take them off during the summer while the weather is nice, like putting the top down on a convertible, and put them back on in the winter for shelter. I asked someone who seemed to know though, and he said they were ways to outfit the boats for different kinds of fishing. When they’re long-lining for halibut these tops have the right kind of drums and other gear inside. When they’re handling nets, they need a clearer deck and this equipment comes off.
