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...

The last-minute decision to make the fairly long detour to Wells Gray Provincial Park resulted in one of the most memorable 24 hours of the trip. Established on November 28, 1939, the 541,516 hectare (1,338,115 acre) park offers superb opportunities to see spectacular canyons and waterfalls as well as...

For our first “no-services” camping weekend with the RV, we chose Congdon Creek Campground on Kluane Lake, and it was perfect, with spectacular scenery and Fall colours. I had the rig ready to go when Cathy got home from work Friday night, and stopping for dinner at the Otter...

Travel excites me. Especially largely-unplanned travel – I love not knowing what’s around the next corner, and being able to take detours on a whim. Tuesday was one of those days – not spectacular, but very special. The well-equipped motorhome dash had an addition this morning, with a souvenir...

To tell you about Day 3 requires more than one post – after editing, I have 537 photos in the day’s file. So I’m cutting this one off at the Utah border, which I reached just after 3:00 pm. This was the planned route – seems simple and short...
