Our wanderings from Homer to Kenai (thee road less traveled)

We left Homer early Monday am to head to Kenai, which is the largest city on the Kenai Peninsula. We had fog off and on throughout our drive, so we could not see the Cook Inlet, which was directly to the west of us. We arrived at our RV park, the Diamond M Ranch and by now it was pouring. They say that it hadn't rained here for 3 weeks, and from the looks of the big puddles, it had been raining for quite some time.
After settling in for lunch and taking a little time off, we set off for our adventure for the day - looking for the farthest point west that one could drive to. We drove and drove. Bill said, "It just doesn't look like it did 25 years ago when I was here!". We followed the Funny River Road to the end. By now, it was the Unfunny River Road since we had no idea where we were! We eventually made it to the ocean and declared it to be OUR farthest point west.


Back into the car to head back to the RV's on what we thought was the right way back.......not! While going way too far out of the way, we did see the best looking moose grazing along the roadside. We decided, through the use of Bill's phone that we needed to turn around. We back tracked about 16 miles and there was the Diamond M. By now Marilyn and Leigh were in hysterics, since they had said long into the return that we were lost!
Dinner was pretty late, but the adventure had been a great appetizer. Kea was a little concerned by the time we got back - his evening walk was much delayed.
