Over the past couple of days (Tuesday and Wednesday, September 17th and 18th), I finally completed a project that I began in August 1991. Well, it wasn’t a “project” in 1991, that was just the first time I photographed some of the graves at the Atlin Pioneer Cemetery. In...

Sunday, September 8th was a very busy day for me at Atlin. After visiting the Pine Creek dredge and some other sites first thing in the morning, I came back into town for coffee. At about 10:20 I started another wander on foot and by car. I took many...

On Sunday, September 8th, I left my cozy cabin in Atlin with the plan of spending a long day exploring Ruby Creek and Ruby Mountain. But I got distracted, and this post is about the reason for that 🙂 I got an early start and was driving up Surprise...

Atlin has been on my mind a lot lately, and I’ve just spent another 3 nights there, from Friday, August 6th to Monday the 9th. I had two offers of accommodations, but it took me a while to give up the idea of taking the motorhome with Bella and...

This post is something of an experiment. Due to my brain injury, I have no memory of this significant adventure of my youth, only photos. My final neurologist said 2-3 years ago that the memories are still here, I just can’t access them. Sometimes various things will trigger a...

I was unable to figure out a logical break in this post, taking time and number of photos into consideration, so this is a rather odd one. At about 10:20 on Friday, August 23rd, we crossed over the Klehini River from the Haines Highway to explore a bit of...

Our third day at Haines (Wednesday, August 21st) ended on a sour note with my bike breaking, removing one of our planned activities, but there’s always lots to do at Haines. By 06:00 on Thursday the 22nd I had a pot of coffee ready. We carry a blue jug...

Cathy and I had left Whitehorse on Saturday, August 17th, with reservations at the Oceanside RV Park in Haines for 5 nights starting on Monday. After spending two nights camped in a spectacular pullout along the Haines Highway at the Summit, we headed for Haines at about 1:30 Monday...

I always enjoy seeing people share their passion, and the Hammer Museum is a perfect example of that. The small building in downtown Haines that began life as a private residence a century ago now houses a collection of 2,300 hammers. As impressive as that number is, there are...
