I’ve started a couple of blog posts since my last one but have been unable to complete them and finally gave up on each and deleted them. Maybe I can finish this one. Although we haven’t had any hard frosts yet and daytime highs are still 10-12°C, Fall is...

The weather continues to be wonderful, and though I haven’t been feeling well recently I really needed to get out, so I was determined yesterday to load up the e-bike and go somewhere for a major Adventure, though I had no idea where that might be. I’m usually up...

I had it in my mind that Mt. McIntyre (“Mount Mac”) would be a great place for the e-bike. That turned out to not be particularly true, but it’s so beautiful up there I’ll show you how these two days went anyway. My first drive up was on Monday,...

For the past 31 years, I’ve wondered what was down a road that leaves the Alaska Highway at Km 1633.7, just west of Boutillier Summit. On September 7th we drove 6.3 km of it, and I know enough about it now to plan a further exploration, probably on the...

Although we planned our long weekend at KLuane Lake to be a relaxing one, we decided on Saturday to drive to Cultus Lake, on the opposite side of the lake from our campground. I discovered in 2016 that the lowering of Kluane Lake had resulted in what had been...

At about 11:00 on Day 23 of our RV trip – Friday, May 18th – we left Nakusp Hot Springs and headed southeast towards the historic community of Kaslo. We had no plans for an overnight stop – it would just be wherever looked appropriate. At Nakusp, we stopped...

Yesterday wasn’t a great day weather-wise, but a photographer from Kelowna and I had a great day photography-wise in one of the most spectacular spots that you can reach on a day-trip from Whitehorse – Paddy Peak. When we headed south from Whitehorse, I wasn’t certain that we’d be...

The weather hasn’t been great lately, but despite the clouds, the Fall colours are getting really pretty around Whitehorse. When my friend Karla asked if I wanted to go out shooting after she got off work on Wednesday (September 6), I was in. I suggested that we take the...
