We’re back!!
Scenic View RV Park, Ninilchik.
This is where we spent an idyllic week, and now we are back here, for at least 10 days.
We had an uneventful journey from Trail River, did a bit of shopping in Soldotna, and decided to see if we could book in here a day early.
We were welcomed back like long lost friends, and since the place is nearly empty, had the pick of the sites.
We both wanted the site at the bottom of the hill, on the left, next to the site we had previously stayed in, and we got it.
We have no other campers either side, and a perfect view over Cook Inlet. In the evening, Bob the owner built the usual campfire, Brenda the other owner brought out clams and nibbles, we contributed some of Marlipop’s halibut dip, others brought out marshmallows, and a wonderful evening was had by all. The sky tonight was a stunning mixture of colors and clouds, but all the mountains on the other side of the Inlet were clearly visible, and we could even see steam rising from some of the volcano vents. How exciting to be able to see several active volcanoes.
The weather today was brilliant, so warm that we had to put the AC on in the coach.
Marlipops has been fascinated by the riot of flowers in Alaska, and everywhere we go there is one particular variety called fireweed, which is all over the place, so we’ve included a picture, which does not really do it justice in terms of the richness of color, but we’ve done our best.
Wildlife today was River and Max, Bob and Brenda’s dogs, who are just delightful, and a new camper’s dog, but we don’t know it’s name yet.
We have told Bob and Brenda that we are going to dognap River, who is nearly two years old, and BIG.
….until tomorrow.
