On Tuesday and Wednesday (May 4th and 5th), I made two rides that were significant in my life. On Tuesday I did the longest ride yet on my new e-bike, just over 30 kilometers. And yesterday I did a 504-km ride to Kluane Lake on the V-Star – it’s...

Our spring swan hunt on April 19th began at Carcross, but there were few swans so just before 4:00 pm we headed for the bridge at Tagish where numbers are usually much higher. That’s a scenic 34-km drive. Yukon Highway 8, more commonly called the Tagish Road, is a...

On Monday, April 19th, I got a call from friends asking if I’d like to join them for a swan hunt. I sure would! I’m doing two blog posts about this outing because the Carcross and Tagish parts of it were quite different and each has enough photos to...

It felt for a while like Father Winter was never going to leave, but Spring has now arrived. Though nights are still just below freezing, the sun is very warm. We have a record load of snow on the ground – for a while 1972 had deeper snow according...

As the weather gets warmer and the snow keeps falling, I have a whole lot of projects going on. The rebuild of my blog is coming along well – I have 179 posted so far. This is post number 1,229 since I started the blog on April 25, 2006,...

As the snow gets deeper and deeper and cloudy skies are the norm, I haven’t been doing much outside the house, but I have gotten out with a friend a couple of times, once with Bella and Tucker, and once out to the wildlife preserve. Visually, the deep snow...

For many months I’ve been trying to figure out what to do with the old blog that got hacked and wasn’t recoverable (it’s a long sad story). A couple of days ago, I came up with the only reasonable plan – hugely time-consuming but it will get it where...

Ten days ago, back on Saturday, December 19th, I decided that I needed to get out of here for a bit. Not far, just away by myself for a night or two. So on a rather blah day at about 2:30 in the afternoon, I headed west, destination probably...

I haven’t been out much lately, so when a friend called Monday and asked if I wanted to go for the drive to Tutshi Lake the next day, “YES!!” was the easy answer. The weather forecast when I said that was for sunshine, and I almost cancelled a few...
