We actually drove onto the Kenai Pennisula today. With lakes, streams and rivers everywhere, it is hard to imagine the fire danger here. We decided to go to Seward and leave the fire area more time to be controlled. Seward is located a the head of one of the fjords. All day a strong southerly wind has been blowing into the fjord.  We spent the day on the beach watching the sea otters. It is quite wonderful to be able to camp right at the shore even though you share it with a couple of hundred other campers. We also walked around town and booked a cruise to the Kenai Fjords State Park for tomorrow. We really hope to see lots of marine wild life but we may have to wear layers of all our clothes to stay warm.  The natives think we are odd in our jackets while they run around in shorts and flipflops!
