Homer to Seward – Forest Fire – Road closed

We headed off at a leisurely pace up the Sterling Highway, arrived in Soldotna by 11 am and drove straight through as our favourite Cinnamon shop is closed on Sunday’s – The Moose is Loose.

Traffic stopped about 10 miles north of Sterling! No movement at all. Then the odd car or RV came towards us, no idea what’s happening and no internet or phone coverage.

We move slowly for the next 4 hours to be eventually told the Forest Fire up ahead has crossed the highway and the road is now closed and won’t reopen overnight. Someone said the power lines are down.

We turn and head back to the RV Park we stayed in last week, they gave us a 20% as we were turned back by the fire, very nice, Spoke to the RV Park in Seward also who changed our arrival at late notice.

Edit: effective Monday morning 7:00am, the road is still closed, from the traffic website – will watch for updates and see if we can get thru… current plan

1. Get fuel for car

2. Get coffee

3. Stop at Fred Meyers supermarket and grab a few groceries

4. Hope the Road opens and we can continue….
