Day 349. July 21, 2014. Meeting up with friends on the road

LOCATION:  Cooper Landing, Alaska, in south central part of state
WEATHER:  Anither really nice day. Highs in 60s

We got cleaned up at our Homer campground, knowing that we will be in primitive campgrounds for the next few days.  We drove 125 miles north to Cooper Landing.  We are on beautiful Lake Kenai.  Lots of rivers feed into it, and this area is known for trout fishing.  

We met up with Daniel and Minnie, friends from San Francisco whom we had met in Texas last winter.  We are staying in Quartz Creek campground, part of the National Forest Service.  It is beautiful and woodsy.  We were able to get a double campsite which we are sharing with them.  It is a great set-up. We rode bikes some, then chatted around the campfire.  The Mosquitos love Daniel, so he wears a netted cover-up.  They ride their tandem bike a lot, including the pilgrimage road to Santiago de Compestela in Spain.



DINNER:  We finished up the remaining salmon, although we do have one more fillet in the freezer.  I cooked some zucchini and onions, and added the salmon and some cream cheese for a sauce.  We had rice on the side.
