...Porcupine Island

The Hufford girls at Porcupine Island.

A picnic with a view. The girls have their hoods up to keep the bugs away.

Bugs buzzing around.

Porcupine Island is in Kenai Lake near Cooper Landing. We took a trip there about a week ago launching from the boat ramp at Quartz Creek. It takes about 20 minutes at half throttle to make it to the island where we had a picnic at the Forest Service picnic sites. Several other boaters were there along with several million flying red bugs. They didn't land on us but they were certainly a nuisance. We stayed for a few hours and then made the trip back to the boat ramp. It was a beautiful day and we had a wonderful time at...Porcupine Island.
