On The Road Again - Fish On - Happy Birthday

Good morning from Soldotna Alaska, it is 51 and partly sunny this morning.

This past Monday we hooked up and moved from our place in Seward to St. Theresa Lakeside Resort and Lodge between Soldotna and Sterling.

We are in the same spot this year & Bill & Edna are next to us
It was an uneventful trip for us and our friends Bill and Edna.  After getting set up we looked at a couple of properties and then went for supper at Magpye's Pizzeria in Sterling.  Bill & I fished the Kasilof River 2 1/2 hours on Wednesday for Reds with no luck.  Yesterday 4 of us went to the Russian River and all caught fish,  but only 2 were legally hooked.

We pay to ride this ferry across the Kenai River, it is propelled by the current.

Bill, left fishing with others along the River, this is considered "combat fishing"

Bill with a foul hooked Red that had to be released, this fish already swam 70 miles from the ocean to get here.

After a day of fishing we came home for a couple of hours and then went in to Acapulco's Mexican Restaurant,(opened a week ago) in Soldotna with our friends to celebrate Rosalie's birthday.  The place was busy, the service a bit slow and the food excellent. After supper everyone came back to St Theresa for Rhubarb Sprinkle Cake Rosalie made earlier in the day from fresh cut Rhubarb.

We have been seeing a few moose on our travels, but no good photo ops.  We also met with a realtor and have a list of properties we will be checking out over the next couple of weeks.
