As we were descending into Whitehorse on our Air North flight last Wednesday, I could see that much of the flooding that stopped me on my e-bike ride on June 10th had receded, so I decided to give it another try on July 30th. I’m using 2 apps on...

July 28th was simply a travel day for Cathy and I, flying home from Vancouver. There was more, of course, but nothing worth talking about 🙂 Our flight got delayed, but we got quite a comedy show at our boarding gate at YVR. There were a bunch of guys...

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...

Last week Cathy and I had to return to Vancouver. It was another medical trip unfortunately, but walking and photography are stress relievers for me and I put on about 35 km during the 2 full and 2 part days there. The 3 main walks are mostly what I’ll...

On the afternoon of Saturday, July 17th, our third day in the White Pass, I took Tucker on a big hike up what I call Border Ridge. It doesn’t have a name and pretty much nobody else goes there so I get to call it whatever I want 🙂...

We finally got away in the motorhome for a few days last week (we left home on Thursday, July 15th). It was just to the White Pass, but it was wonderful to get back into the mountains. Getting the rig ready to go was a long slow process –...

In my wanders around Vancouver last week, I came across a memorial to the victims of the Indian residential school system. It was initially created by First Nations artist Tamara Bell with 215 pairs of children’s shoes, but it appears to have become less an organized effort than a...

We had no real plans for our trip to Vancouver other than medical visits and a couple of dinners Cathy had booked, but photographing Vancouver’s great architecture can keep me amused for many days. We had two part days and two full ones in the city this time. I...
