We stopped at Copper Landing on the Kenai River on the way south to Ninilchik for lunch. I just still can't get over this incredible turquoise green water. It is so lovely! Bryan started a small charcoal grill outside for some bratwurst but the campground host (from NY) insisted that it was a fire hazard and he had to put it out. This summer, that has not been much rain in the Kenai, with lots of sunny weather, so rivers are all much higher this year than last. Glaciers melt faster in the sun and there's more runoff that way; last year was cool and rainy and the glaciers didn't melt as much. The kids panned for gold here at a facility close by but didn't get enough to retire on, unfortunately! They'll have to work after all.
