We left Homer in the pouring rain and were thankful this wasn't yesterday as the cloud was really low .......but we saw our bears at Brooks Falls and I have sorted a lot of my photos now and even though the weather was dull I have some good ones of the bears fishing. We made good time to Anchorage - about five hours with stops - one for coffee at Soldotna and a MacDonalds hash brown and one for a loo break and mozzarella sticks at Girdwood. The wildfire was now...

The day dawned cloudy and overcast so we we were hopeful of going to Brooks Falls - I looked at all the forecasts including aviation forecasts on my iPad.
