There are some decent bike trails along K-Beach and the Spurr Highway between Kenai and Soldotna. There's a dart and ping-pong tournament each week (The Lions?). Veronica's is a liberal coffeehouse with soups, salads and live music in old-town Kenai (across from the Russian Church). BJs in Soldotna has live music. Has chess on Saturday mornings. Charlotte's is the best restaurant in town, open for breakfast and lunch. Fresh bread made every morning. Otherwise, we have an over-abundance of mediocre Greek-Mexican-Italian places ( "jack of all trades, master of . . ".) So does Soldotna. Frozo just ups the ante with a gaudy building, but no great cooking. Mykel's in Soldotna is as good as it gets since Through the Seasons became Buckets. In the off Season, Mykel's does wine tastings and invites in guests chefs. We try to encourage that sort of thing. Check out KPC for rotating art shows or live music performances. Anyone can do a ride-along with the local police departments - just call them up. They could show you places the locals hardly know about. Rent or borrow a canoe and take it out on the Swanson River Canoe Trails. One of two Wilderness Canoe Trail systems in the conutry (Boundary Waters, MN is the other). Hike up out of Cooper Landing to Russian River Falls to see the sockeyes doing the National Geographic thing up the falls. Again and again until they make it. Check out the dipnet scene on the Kenai beach (South Spruce down to the water $10 to park.) Quite an event and spectacle. Bop down to Homer for their better views, galleries, hippies and restaurants. Go to Seward for the Sea Life Center, Exit Glacier hike, and boat tours of Resurrection Bay. |
