This year, a man in his 60's disappeared during the race and has not been found. The mountain does not look that formidable. I was thinking about running up it tomorrow morning before breakfast. Maybe I had better swim the bay instead! OK, I know I can't do either!
While we were in Anchorage, and just a few days before we left for Homer, a plane blew over on a little lake as you approach the "Spit". A woman drowned in that accident. The Spit?.......I could say, look it up! Actually, it is about a three mile gravel bar that runs out into the bay. The Harbor is out there and lots of restaurants and gift shops. It is a fun place and you can even take your RV and camp for $85 a night.
Seward is a "cool" place too. Harbor just up the street, mountains all around, and just about half the size of Homer.
Tomorrow we are going out on a boat to see whales & other sea life a n d,
Ooooh, Ahhhh, Glaciers. Should get some great pictures. We bought some Dramamine....... Never have gotten sick but some of the guys who went out on fishing trips did get sick so just don't want to take a chance.
Happy Trails !
We were there July 4 2005 to watch the folks run up and back down the mountain. More power to them. .
