I mis-remembered, Art. I have seen a number of them on seacoasts- particularily in Whittier. I was thinking inland waters.
I wonder what this otter was up to. Hall Lake is about a half mile up the road- Was it coming from there, or Scout Lake, a couple miles away, or another lake across the Sterling Hwy off Panoramic? Heading to the Kenai for the smolt and/or hooligan run? Looking for Love? New territory?
Whatever, that thing had the right idea it seems. Humping down a paved road has to be preferable to going through the woods and muskeg for ease of travel, if a bit hotter. Bet it thought it hit the jackpot when it found the road.
