South onto the Kenai

Despite being anxious to get down to the Kenai, we couldn't quite convince ourselves to leave our #moochdocking spot next to @ageespice's parents, @violetgrass78's, geodesic dome house near the base of Flattop Mountain. Instead, we spent the day unpacking, letting the kids catch up on sleep and re "airganizing". Whenever we leave the trailer, we return to the relative simplicity of the trailer with the impulse to get rid of even more stuff. In the afternoon, I took a large garbage bag of kids clothes and toys down to the Big Brothers and Sisters donation center. It was kinda funny opening the back hatch to grab the bag, since we were there to give stuff away, but the tightly packed truck still made us look like hoarders. It's our entire garage in there! One last stop at Target to grab a replacement for the hanging shelves in Ann's closet that met their match somewhere along the Denali Park Road, a propane fill and we should be ready to go tomorrow. #airstream #airstreamtoalaska #liveriveted #myrivetedlife #geodesicdome

Turnagain (again). Who do you think got the better shot?

The area where the Russian River dumps into the Kenai River is a mecca for salmon fishermen around Alaska, even around the world. Even on a Monday, there's a lot of activity around our spot in the parking area for the ferry, actually just a small green barge attached to some lines strung to the opposite bank that uses the rushing current to angle its way across the river with the next load of, well, "anglers" looking to take their place in the rows wading knee deep waiting for a bite. #kenai #russianriver #salmonchantedevening

Kenai River drift boat. These come into the boat launch by the ferry frequently and dump off load after load of happy tourist fishermen. #kenai #russianriver #fastandfurious13kenaidrift

Gorilla's pretty happy to have us back too. #campingwithdogs #dogsofinstagram
