We had high hopes of camping Memorial weekend at Capt Cook like last year, hiking the trails, running the beach, and a day trip into the cabin, but no such luck. A blowout on the trailer tire and showing up two hours later than last year meant no open spots. What to do, what to do….
We ended up at Swiftwater which is pretty nice and not at all crowded right now.
The kids spent their first night alone in a tent. Just steps outside of our motorhome of course. I am proud of them for toughing it out. It wasn’t too cold last night.
Now what to do today…
We went over to the beach in Kenai for some 4wheeling.
Saw a friend on the beach. Rode way out farther than I’ve gone before, almost to the LPG plant dock. Saw some cool old fish camp shacks.
And a few fellas panning for gold. Then we came back to camp. Took a long siesta. Then campfire time, roasting some hot dogs and “smarshmallows” as Lil Bit calls them. I made some chicken and beef kabobs that Dean grilled to perfection.
Lil Mister tries his first roasted marshmallow, he likes it!
Now to sit back, relax and zap some Skeeter’s.
Alaska on my mind...
