Cruising the Sterling Highway south to Anchor Point. We’re driving two-lane highway, but Alaska has done a great job with passing lanes and pullouts. No trouble with traffic. And the fireweed. All along the highways there are fields of purple fireweed in bloom; sometimes entire mountainsides. It is truly spectacular. We’re still covering new ground. Driving these highways is like discovering Colorado all those years ago. Every new highway a new adventure, a new wonder. Tonight we have a room with a view; …the ocean from a distance, on the other side of a meandering river meadow.

A short drive to Homer Spit.

 

The first view of the spit in the distance looking down.

 

The approach.

 

And we’re there.  The view from our windshield.

 

 

I think there is going to be more to the view than we can see today.
