Category: Campgrounds

We had built some flexibility into our itinerary, and that had already become useful, as the days were much shorter than we thought they’d be (that could have something to do with our “early to bed, late to rise” regime) 🙂 We had also re-thought some of our campgrounds,...

We got home last night from 17 days touring Alaska in our motorhome, accompanied by Whitehorse friends who rented a motorhome from Fraserway. We drove 3,284 km in the RVs, plus another couple of hundred in the Tracker we towed. Total driving time in the RVs was just under...

Monday had been a busy and yet very relaxing day, and the plan was for the next couple of days to be similar. We got off to a late start Tuesday morning (July 14 – I’m getting way behind!). Monty slept with me as usual, and Bella and Molly...

Although I had planned to be on the road for much of the 2 weeks that Cathy was visiting family in Ontario, it didn’t work out that way, for a few reasons, one of them the weather. July has been very wet in Whitehorse, dampening both the forests and...

On Friday morning, Cathy went to work while I went into town to buy a few things to re-stock the RV, then drove 90 km down the Alaska Highway to Squanga Lake Campground at Km 1315.9. Squanga Lake Campground gets little use by tourists, perhaps because when they’re this...

As slow-paced and relaxing as this trip was, there’s never enough time. After a leisurely morning and lunch at Tombstone Mountain Campground on Monday, we started the 113 kilometer (70 mile) drive to Dawson City just before 1:00. We stopped for a photo at the Welcome to Dawson sign,...

On Monday, our final day at Tombstone Mountain Campground, we were in no hurry to leave, so walked over to the Tombstone Park Interpretive Centre for a look. The $2 million centre was opened on August 28, 2009, by Premier Dennis Fentie, Environment Minister Elaine Taylor and Klondike MLA...

I ended my last post at the Dempster Junction fuel stop late Saturday afternoon. Cathy and I had been looking forward to getting back on the Dempster Highway for a long time, and Tombstone Campground at Km 71.7 was our planned home for the next two nights. At 4:40...

We’ve just returned home from 9 days on the roads of the Yukon with the RV – our longest trip with it yet. I had little Internet access during that time (and didn’t do any blog writing in any case), so I’m playing catch-up now. Part 1 of the...
