Once I got past the harbor I found some restaurants and other businesses.
I ate lunch at the Harbor Grill. They were offering 50% all food as they were getting ready to close for the season. I was hoping to have King Crab but they were sold out, so since Homer is the “Halibut Capital of the World” I had that.
Further up the road I was surprised to see apartments.
I also saw a sign for another campground.
I also found another memorial:
At the end of the road was the Land’s End resort.
I started heading back to the mainland. Once I got there I drove past a big lake I could see from the high overlook. I had heard, and then seen, seaplanes taking off from that lake, and as I drove past I saw some docked near the road.
I drove back up to the high viewpoint and got a few more glacier photos in the afternoon sun.
I drove past where my Airbnb was located, as the woman at the Visitor Center had told me where she lived. She said they frequently have moose ion their property so I went down that road to see if I might spot some. I did not.
I did see the two volcanoes I had spotted on the drive down.
I went back to the Fen and didn’t have any luck spotting animals there either. I went out again during the night but still didn’t see the Northern Lights.
It had been a beautiful day and I had enjoyed taking in the sights from various vantage points. When I was at the high viewpoint I often just stood and looked. I try to do that everywhere I go – just stop taking pictures and enjoy the view.
