This time, we went in the opposite direction, toward Narrow Cape and Fossil Beach. We didn't dawdle on the beach but instead followed a bison trail (yes, there were bison out there) up a bluff with excellent views of the open ocean. The water was calm, and the dazzling sunshine didn't interfere with us seeing whale spout after whale spout. Each tell-tale spout of water was followed by the slick black arch of a humpback whale. We camped out for quite a while in the grass right above a large group of seals and also watched the smaller arches of their backs as they swam back and forth in the clear water.

| We saw multiple whales between the cape and Ugak Island, which you can see in the background. |

| Just about every "natural" place we've been to has had several old military bunkers. They make good focal points for photographs. |
 |
| Violets--the first blooming wildflowers of the year that I've seen. |

| I never expected to see bison on Kodiak Island! |
