Kenai Splendor

We spent a couple of days down on the Kenai Peninsula doing a little fishing and gazing at the most beautiful scenery on the planet.

The weather was very overcast on the first day. And I think that's a good thing. Otherwise the grandeur of the mountains, rivers, and lakes is just too overwhelming. Best to get just a taste of the Kenai's beauty to expand your appreciation like a sponge. Then you can absorb more and more as the weather clears, the sky displays its amazing blue backdrop to towering mountains untouched by man.

We saw the salmon spawning grounds of Quartz Creek. We fished in the Kenai River and Quartz Creek for trout, dolly varden, and grayling. Stephen and Al (aka Freddie) used fly poles. The rest of us just used the traditional cast.

Tess, Alicia, and I had to leave early Monday morning to get back in town in time for Tess to start Flag Football practice. She's opted to do that instead of cheerleading this year. I think she misses the cheering a little, but is excited about trying this new sport.
