Today is the first of 38 days of the grandest Adventure Cathy and I have ever been on. Although it wasn’t intended that way, perhaps it is a celebration of the 25th anniversary of our first meeting, at Carcross on June 10, 2000. We’re starting in Paris, then most...

This walk a week ago (June 12th) started off to be a look at a short trail I know (the East Airport Access Road Trail), that had just been re-opened, then the planned walk turned into more. Much more! There are 83 photos in this post, my longest ever...

Last night (June 16th), the second bike ride both in memory of Joe Morrison and as a call for bike safety, was held in Whitehorse, and I rode it as well as many more kilometers to and from it. The Facebook notice about the event said: “Join us again...

I fired up the V-Star yesterday and hit the road for the first time in two years. I headed west, with Kluane Lake far to the west in my mind but not firmly locked in as the destination. I posted this first photo, shot on the Alaska Highway just...

On Tuesday (May 27th), I drove to Carcross just to see the first train of the season, but it turned out to be a very full day. The weather was mixed sun and cloud, but I seemed to get sun almost everywhere I wanted it. This view of Montana...

Today’s post covers two explorations of the Stony Creek Trail, located 61 km west of the Whitehorse airport. The first, on May 9th, was a hike with my friend Kevin, his dog Carbon, and Tucker. We hiked 8.2 km – I had to quit, but that was my longest...

I’ve been busy during the past 3 weeks, but it didn’t feel like anything was worth a blog post. On May 14th, though, my friend Kevin and I went looking for some trails that we only had hints about. This view of Montana Mountain on the drive south made...

I have to begin by making a comment or two about yesterday’s election. I’m extremely pleased by the results generally. The two big wins for me are seeing Mark Carney remain as our Prime Minister, and seeing Bruce Fanjoy soundly beat Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre in the Carleton riding....

On Tuesday, April 8th, I flew home with Air North after a particularly good visit with most of my family and a life-long friend. I had my son drop me at the airport at 10:30 for my 12:35 flight – being early greatly reduces my stress levels and of...

Backing up to Saturday afternoon (April 5th), the whole family headed into the Rockies for a hike to an abandoned Cold War bunker and then for dinner at Canmore. It was an excellent day 🙂 From southeast Calgary, it’s 100 km to the trailhead. It was about 10°C and...
