We began the day by visiting the Pratt Museum. You could spend the whole day, but we only had time for a few hours. One of the fun things was watching the brown (grizzly) bears. They have a remote camera on a stream about 100 miles away. The lady operating it from the museum could pan the stream and zoom in on the bears. You can go to www.prattmuseum.org to view the bears. There is supposed to be a link. I have not checked it out. If they are not showing them live, they play some of the archived sessions. Homer is the end of the road, so by mid afternoon we were on our way back the road we had traveled. As we left Homer we could see smoke coming from Augustine Volcano over 100 miles away. We stopped at some places we had skipped on the way to Homer. This included a visit to an old Russian Orthodox Church, and a general store that has some of the biggest scoops of ice cream we have ever seen. Yummy! We purchased a reindeer pelt here. We don’t know exactly what we will do with it but have a couple of ideas. We had read the store had good prices and later found the same pelts for $40 more. That always makes you feel good.
