We spent last night at http://www.countryboycampground.com near Ninilchek ($25 withe full hookups; $15 if Passport America). Just as one of you mentioned, we have found this to be a very nice and inexpensive place to stay. Upon arrival, the owner invited us in to what used to be the restaurant (now closed) and proceeded to give us and another two couples a wide range of information about the area. This morning, we took his advice and stopped at the Norman Lowell gallery just south o Anchor Point. This is a place that you should absolutely *not* miss. Mr Lowell is now about 86 years old and he was there to greet and discuss his artwork. The gallery is amazing and it is free.
We then drove on the Homer and looked around. We do not fish and I feel the Spit is just too "touristy" for me. We are now at the Homer library catching up on email, bills etc. Even though Countryboy is supposed to have WiFi, it is so slow, I did not even attempt to use it.
We will probably spend another two nights at Countryboy and then head back to Soldatna/Kenai for a 5K race on Saturday morning and then spend more time in that area.
We are then thinking of returning to Seward and doing one of the glacier cruises. We have done the Stan Stephens out of Valdez, but everyone keeps saying we need to do the 8-10 hour one out of Seward.
