Alaska Day Three - Down the coast

Time to head to the Kenai Peninsula and the big, open water. I knew that Alaska is BIG. Still, traveling from Willow to Homer took pretty much all day. Of course, excellent scenery does tend to make the trip take a bit longer (and be much more enjoyable).

This was the first day of real rain here in Alaska, so it kept the mountain ranges of the Kenai hid for most of the drive. However, it did create some dramatic skies, as in this image from the Chugach Range (click on the image for a larger view).

The weather broke a bit closer to Homer and the southern part of the Kenai Peninsula. Here's an image from the Kachamek Range.
