We've settled in for a while in Ninilchik, Alaska. The tide will be right for clamming this weekend and the reds are running so we hope to have a good time digging and fishing. We're camped in view of three peaked, snow-covered volcanoes across the inlet from us.

This photo is the first of many I plan to take of Ninilchik Village, a Russian settlement here. This isn't the best angle but we'd hiked over from the park and this was as close as I could get. Several Russian families remained here after Alaska was sold to the United States and the village, with it's beautiful little church, is charming.
