Day 26

We left Ninilchik today to head toward Seward. It is still raining and generally a nasty day. We got packed up and set out. We drove past the Kenai and Russian river areas and again there were arm to arm salmon fisherman going for their salmon. We passsed a little something on the road. It was a little bear cub that had been killed on the road. We arrived at our campsite near Seward several hours later. The road was very winding and we did not make good time. We checked into the campsite. It was a family run place with a little lodge area. We checked in and I asked about fishing creeks in the area. They told me about a stream a couple hundred yards up the street that had good Dolly Varden fishing. The man sitting at the bar didn’t think it was a good idea, as there had been a 100 pound grizzly bear visiting there for the past view days. It was still raining. We drove into Seward. The waterfront is very pretty although we could not see much of the scenery because of the haze. There are bald eagles everywhere. We found a playground to let Grant play, and sat back and watched the eagles in the tree. We walked a bit on the waterfront and headed home.
