PS, Might have to meet up one time, as we go through Kenai every trip to the mainland since the ferry lets us off in Homer.
We live in Funny River, so let me know when you're traveling North. I'll cook you a meal and re-stock your coffee thermos. If you need a place to overnight to cut the trip in half, that can be arranged as well. PM me and I'll pass my personal info along.
