We drove across the Kenai and turned up the coast. The Kenai is interesting. I guess I thought it would be filled with mountains but it is flat and only about 400 feet in elevation. Unfortunately, the coast was pretty socked in with clouds so we were unable to see the wonderful mountains on the far side of Cook’s Inlet. The ocean here was very muddy and sand filled. Then when we saw it at very low tide, the mud flats extended quite a long way out and were dotted with huge stones making navigation a hazard. Oil rigs, tankers and other support vessels were far out on the horizon. All the big names in the oil industry were in the nearby little towns.

Discovery Campground was right on the bluff above the ocean and had marvelous views. The beach was a good walking beach but no shells were to be found along it.
