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...

On Thursday (May 25th), I took the V-Star out for a wander, and it turned out to be an excellent day, despite the last hour of the 6-hour outing being in the rain. My day’s activities actually began at the Whitehorse airport. On Wednesday evening I had gone there...

When I left you last post, I had just poured myself a celebratory glass of very good single-malt on the evening of Tuesday, September 6. The day wasn’t over yet, though. Seeing great light on the beach just before 9:00 pm, Cathy and I went down and were greeted...

We got home last night from 9 days at Congdon Creek Campground on Kluane Lake. A few minutes before 02:00 on September 4th, an excellent display began. As is often the case, I woke up just before it began. When the show started, I quickly got my camera gear...

While we didn’t use the e-bikes as much as we’d planned to during our 9 days at Kluane Lake for a variety of reasons, we still had some excellent rides, so I thought a separate post for all of them would be appropriate. On our first full day at...

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...

Cathy and the dogs and I got home Friday night (September 10th) from our best “staycation” ever – 9 days with the RV at Congdon Creek Campground on Kluane Lake, with no cell service or Internet access. I’d had about all the covid and politics I could handle, so...
