Ok, so I have a bit of catching up to do. Well, we headed out to Homer on Tuesday morning. Some of my patients from the school, Allen and Judy, were going to let us stay in there cabin which was just a few miles outside of Homer. Once we got there we hit a little snag in the plan, the key we had did not open the door. Luckily, I had their number and gave em a call. Apparently a guy who takes care of the cabin during the winter had already shut the water off and changed the locks. So, no worries, Judy told us that we were going to stay in one of her brothers cabins. His cabin was right in Homer on a hill overlooking the bay and the mountains. It was amazing!Bryan (Judy’s brother) had taken an old railway car and turned it into a little cabin, called the Moose Caboose. After we got settled in we just hung out in Homer the rest of the day. The following day I spent the better part of the day giving my best attempt at convincing fish to bite my lure and allow me to pull its flopping body from its watery home and up into my net. I was quite optimistic at first, after all, this was alaska, home of the worlds best fishing (or some such crap) The fish did not seem to like that plan (I don’t really understand why, I was just was going to throw him back anyway). Shelli was going to go for a run but decided that the thought of a bear joining her for a run/chase was not a risk she wanted to take, so she just hung out and watched me aimlessly throw my rig out, and reel it back in, over, and over, and over again. Complete waste of time. Anyway, the next day we packed up and headed out. On the way back to Anchorage we stopped in Soldotna and met up with Gerald Paul, one of my friends who lives up here now and works as a bush pilot. Shelli dropped the two of us off and we tried some more fishing in a new river, but to the same outcome as the day before, no dice. That officially ended my first Alaskan fishing adventure. Booooooo. Anyway, we headed back to Anchorage and picked up Jared and headed out to get some food. We got back, packed up and headed to the airport to leave at 1 am. It wouldn’t have been that bad a trip, but the stupid airplane was had some lame warning light pop up about one of the engines. My car engine warning light is pretty much constantly on and I never really seem to have any real problems, but they decided that we had to take care of it before we left. So, three hrs later we left anchorage. We got to our friend Heidi’s here in the Seattle area this morning and then we slept… for a while. Once we got up, the clouds had all cleared and we realized just how beautiful this place really was. The view from her little house was awesome. We hiked down by the Puget Sound for a bit, and then hiked over to a little park, saw some seals playing in the ocean, played in the grass a bit, and then of course, shelli went for a run. That was pretty much it, Heidi got off work and we hung out with her for the rest of the evening.
