Soldotna, Thursday & Friday


The weather in Soldotna was no better, so we spent Thursday in the Fred Meyer parking lot. We use their parking lots like we use the WalMart "resorts." This Fred Meyer even has a dump station and fresh water for their RV guests. Friday we visited the Soldotna and Kenai Visitor Centers. The two towns are near each other and both have interesting visitor centers. The one in Soldotna is on the bank of the Kenai River. They have a walkway along the river, and we were able to watch both men women fishing for salmon. A few of them were successful while we were there. However, the most successful was a woman. At the Kenai visitor center we watched a documentary on Alaska. The picture is an infamous Kenai River snag. It contains about 2,500 lost lures. Someone was successful in removing it from the river. The picture was taken through glass, so there is some glare. We spent Friday night at Captian Cook State Park.
