I needed to get away from the computer and snow shovels yesterday, and on the spur of the moment decided that a drive to Kluane Lake – a 500-km round trip – would be a good way to do that (see a map of the route). I see in...

The e-bike ride on September 13th was excellent so I was really looking forward to getting on the V-Star (“the noisy bike”) for a lengthy ride out to Kluane Lake and back the next day. This is a fairly common ride for me – while the ride isn’t overall...

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...

I’ve been watching the planning and construction progress of the Nisutlin Bay Bridge at Teslin since it all began, and have been planning for many months to drive down for a look. With Spring approaching, I’m getting very itchy to hit the road in some form, so when I...

This is the fourth post in a row about photographing the aurora borealis, but it will be the last one for quite a while. The posts have been about progressively better displays, but there’s nowhere to go after this one. I haven’t seen any reports from scientists yet, but...

From the morning of July 28th until the afternoon of August 3rd, Cathy and I were at Congdon Creek Campground on Kluane Lake. I wasn’t going to write a blog post because we didn’t do anything of note. But then a friend commented that perhaps that’s what is worth...

On Monday morning (February 12th), I had just gotten home from a session with my osteopath and had started making brunch when I got a message from a friend that said simply “It’s clear blue skies all the way to the junction.” Being one who often takes hints quite...

Sometimes it takes a friend to help you get un-stuck. Having tea with a friend has done that for me, and here’s the second little post as a result. It’s really easy to get flat during the winter. Even Bella and Tucker do – and despite having a house...

Yesterday started off as a drive into Whitehorse to pick up a new phone, but kept evolving and turned into a superb drive to Kluane Lake and back – 8 hours, 511 km. I had taken some extra photo gear and clothing with me with a drive of some...

A few months ago a friend asked if I’d like to go to a lake that neither of us had been to before. Caribou Lake is easy to access from the Alaska Highway but neither of us knew anything about it beyond what we see on maps. Click here...
