I’m going to start this post off with a screenshot from a Yukon government press release from December 7th: In my post on November 30th I said “Many weeks ago, I got 3 requests for engagements of various kinds, and I declined all of them – I simply didn’t...

It’s been 7 weeks since I last talked to you. In that time the southern Yukon has gone from a nice Fall to a dreary but fairly mild Winter, with a more normal snow level than the last two extremely heavy-snow Winters. Another Winter like those two might get...

The weather continues to be wonderful, and though I haven’t been feeling well recently I really needed to get out, so I was determined yesterday to load up the e-bike and go somewhere for a major Adventure, though I had no idea where that might be. I’m usually up...

I had my daughter up for a visit for 3 days over this past weekend, and the one thing she had on her must-do list was seeing Skagway again. On Sunday we headed down, with strong winds and flood warnings in the weather forecast. The Fall colours were mostly...

My great e-bike ride on the historic Dawson Overland Trail a few days ago inspired me to do an even longer ride, and I decided that Ibex Valley Trail just west of Whitehorse could be perfect. Making a loop by riding back to the car on the Alaska Highway...

When I left you last post, I had just poured myself a celebratory glass of very good single-malt on the evening of Tuesday, September 6. The day wasn’t over yet, though. Seeing great light on the beach just before 9:00 pm, Cathy and I went down and were greeted...

Although I’ve gotten ahead of myself with a couple of posts, I would still like to share our 9 days at Kluane Lake with you. I’ve gathered 65 photos so will do it in 2 posts. Although we didn’t do anything major, there was a fair bit of variety,...

I did a fairly major adventure with the e-bike yesterday, riding 31.5 km on the historic Dawson Overland Trail north of Whitehorse. Built in 1902, this was the winter road to Dawson, used when the Yukon River froze – see “The Whitehorse to Dawson Overland Trail” by Ken Spotswood....

We got home last night from 9 days at Congdon Creek Campground on Kluane Lake. A few minutes before 02:00 on September 4th, an excellent display began. As is often the case, I woke up just before it began. When the show started, I quickly got my camera gear...

On August 26th I returned to Spirit Lake with my e-bike to continue exploring the long-abandoned White Pass & Yukon Route rail line. This time I rode south. My hope was to reach Carcross, and that goal was reached. The first photo shows the start of this exploration at...
