Soldotna

Soldotna, Alaska – Tuesday, August 9, 2011

We got up early and Frank suggested we make “Breakfast Camp” at Beluga Point about a mile down the road.  And so we did.  It was windy, but the view was gorgeous. No beluga sightings though.

While we were there we found out that Alaskan tourists have reading problems too.

Todays goal is to make it to Soldotna.  It looks like an interesting town with lots of opportunities for exploring.  Along the way we caught a few action water photos.

We also spotted a few glaciers in the distant mountains.

Much to the dismay of the commercial campgrounds around Soldotna, the Fred Myers Grocery Store welcomes overnight RVers with open arms.  They have set aside special parking areas for RVs and they even provide a dump station and fresh water. Even though there is no charge to stay overnight, they still get your money inside the store. Smart business sense, just like Walmart.
