Month: August 2021

The number of historic mining sites in the Whitehorse Copper Belt is quite astonishing when you have a guide like Tim Green who is a fount of knowledge about it, and loves sharing what he has discovered. On Sunday we spent 4 hours in a very small part of...

On Thursday (August 5th), I drove to Teslin and back to have a look at the George Johnston Museum and to meet a staff member I’d been talking to online, and the director. Part of my reason for going was the firm up a basic template for showing each...

Bella and Tucker enjoyed our walk at the Lewes River Dam so much, I decided to take them on a longer walk on Wednesday, but one that was more warm-weather friendly for Bella. The trail around the Whitehorse airport was an easy choice. It’s always fun – level, lots...

We have heavy rain and 12°C/53°F as I right this, so it may be an indoor day, but I’ve been getting out on the e-bike a fair bit. The network of trails available from my front door is quite mind-boggling, and I’m both exploring, and looking for a route...

Tuesday, July 27th, our second full day in Vancouver, was a recovery day for Cathy. I stayed with her until early afternoon, then went on an 11-km walk to see a part of Stanley Park I’d never seen in the 40 years I lived in the Vancouver area. Most...

July 26th, our first full day in Vancouver, started early – Cathy had an angiogram scheduled for 07:00. It was a pretty quiet day for me, but I did take a walk along the harbour on a spectacular day. Staying at the Sheraton Wall Centre hotel right across the...
