Each Fall, I get a bit manic trying to do a million more things before the snows flies and the cold sets in. This year I may be even worse because of the combination of really poor weather for most of the summer, and being physically and mentally unable...

My plan for Thursday (October 1st) had been to explore the WP&YR railway at the south end of Lewis Lake (Lewes Lake to many), but I got side-tracked and did a walk at Rat Lake first. Just before 2:00, though, I was ready to head south along the railway...

Yesterday I went out for more exploring into areas I’ve not see before – the WP&YR railway at Rat Lake, and at Lewis Lake, both accessed from the South Klondike Highway. Since they were distinctly different experiences, I’m going to post about each area separately. It’s rather funny that...

I’m spending far too much time on the computer lately, scanning photos, slides, and paper of various sorts, in my effort to get my space de-cluttered. But the weather yesterday was so lovely (mostly sunny, headed for a high of 11°C) that I decided to get outside. Soon “outside”...

With my health improving, I’ve worked my way slowly up to a normal outing with the motorhome, and the White Pass, 90 minutes south, has been my location each time. First a single day with the car 3 weeks ago, then 2 days with the motorhome, and I’ve just...

Well, my friends, I’m back. I found someone with the skills needed to solve my health mystery. I’ll tell you more about that at the end of this post. Yesterday was Day 12 of feeling better, and I did the final test – I drove out to Kluane Lake...

After 10 days of deep cold, warm(er) air has returned. As I start writing this at 02:30 on January 19th, the temperature has risen 11 degrees in the past 6 hours. Although life has some extra challenges when the thermometer starts reading temperatures in the minus-40s (where Celsius and...

I’m writing this post on February 22, 2023, but as it’s a presentation I gave on October 24, 2018, I’m back-dating to look like it was posted then. Sometimes I find files in places they shouldn’t be. I stumbled across this Powerpoint presentation a couple of days ago, and...

Although Cathy and I both love music and spent years playing (her piano, me trombone), we seldom go out to listen to music. Last night we did get out, though, and it was so wonderful that it just might be the kick we need to do it more. The...

Usually, getting up before 04:00 isn’t a good start to my day. However, today it was, in a major way. As soon as I fired up the computer I saw some notices on the Yukon Aurora Alert page I set up a few months ago, saying that there had...
