Carl E. Wynn Nature Center, Homer

Today we are once again taking the East End Road out to the Carl Wynn Nature Center to enjoy the trails and hopefully see some native plants. It is early evening as we hit the trails.

Here we come to a platform above the bog. Bob shows off the trail map.

Nice views from the viewing platform, even if the clouds cut off the tops of the mountains.

Now back home, here is the Homer Elks Lodge up on the bluff to the left of the tents set up for a weekend wedding. We are so fortunate to have the entire Elks camping area to ourselves. The views from up on the bluff have been breathtaking, not to mention the Bald Eagle who parked on the light standard next to us, and the Sand Hill Cranes who flew by. We are loving Alaska!

Lastly, I take Bob's picture in front of the Elks Lodge. Is he a happy Elk or what! Tomorrow it's Halibut Cove, then we're returning to Anchorage so I can pick up my glasses at Costco and refill the refrigerator with groceries.
