We arrived in Homer Alaska on 8/15. This is the midpoint of our trip and we'll start heading towards home after this. We stayed the first couple days at Ocean Shores RV Park which is on the bluff overlooking Kechamak Bay and the Cook Inlet. It had easy beach access and sweeping views. Look for the horseback riders in the middle of the photo!
We rode our bikes around town and stocked up on some groceries. While we were shopping we saw Atz Kilcher doing his shopping too. He's is a local celebrity from a homesteading reality show we had watched for several years, Alaska: The Last Frontier
We had always thought that the show took place deep in the wilds of Alaska with none of the modern comforts, like electricity. Apparently the homestead is a few miles outside of Homer.
We moved to Heritage RV Park on the Homer Spit for our last 3 days. The Spit is a 4.5 mile narrow finger of land that extends into Kachemak Bay and is home to the other side of Homer. Fun fact: the Homer Spit considered the longest road built into ocean waters.
You can see it from this picture we took from the aptly named Skyline Drive above Homer.
It has a big harbor area where many charter fishing companies are based along with shops and restaurants. There are also beaches on both sides of the spit.
