One of the challenges of writing this blog while I’m travelling is deciding how to divide it. Sometimes one day makes for a good post length, sometimes a couple of days. But there are times when a day has so much going on that a specific event or site...

Day 3, Friday, April 29th, would be a much easier day, with less than 400 km the goal, to a rest area north of Prince George. The sunrise in Dawson Creek was stunning. This was shot at 05:29. It was looking to be another mostly cloudy day, with rainstorms...

While I’m puppy-sitting so am not very mobile, I’m going through many thousands of photos from this past summer. They need to be captioned and put in categories so I can find them when I need them. I usually do this soon after shooting, but never sat still long...

I got home from Kelowna just after midnight last night (Thursday), but this post will cover the final legs of the drive down, from Hudson’s Hope to Clinton, and Clinton to West Kelowna. After checking out of the Sportsman’s Inn in Hudson’s Hope at about 07:45 on Tuesday morning,...

This is the final post about our experiences on the trip, though I’ll post a summary with some costs, and high points and low points. This post, which is post #40 from the trip, covers our final 3 days driving from Lower Gnat Lake to Boya Lake to Teslin...

Well pleased with our decision to stay at Meziadin Lake Provincial Park for a third night, Day 52 of the trip – Tuesday, June 14th – was going to be laid-back, though I wanted to see if I could reach the toe of the nearby Bear Glacier. The day...

At Meziadin Lake Provincial Park, Cathy and I both felt that we were home – back in the North. It looked and smelled familiar, and we soon decided to stay for a third night. On Day 51 of the trip – Monday, June 13th – we’d drive into Stewart...

Our final few days of the trip had only the vaguest plan of action, and the weather played a big part in the way they played out. Prince Rupert unfortunately got deleted from the itinerary, as did hiking at Smithers, but all in all it worked out well. On...

Day 48 of the trip – Friday, June 10th – was fun, spending a few hours at a Hudson’s Bay Company fur trading fort, and then making a fairly short drive to another lakeide campground. Cottonwood Park on Stuart Lake at Fort St. James was a lovely spot to...
