We arrived at Campbell River in the late afternoon of Day 20 (May 15) and set up camp at the Thunderbird RV Park on Tyee Spit. We then had one full day and the morning of Day 22 to explore the Campbell River area. The summary is that we...

The morning of Day 15, May 10th, was the first of 3 mornings that we’d wake up at Green Point. The plan for the day was the explore the area, and make the 20-km drive to Tofino to book a boat trip to Hot Springs Cove. Our first impression...

We began Day 14, May 9th, at the Rathtrevor Beach Provincial Park campground, where we’d spent the night. A tour of McLean Mill National Historic Site was the main event of the day, which ended at Pacific Rim National Park. Rathtrevor Beach is one of the largest government campgrounds...

We didn’t get much touristing done on Day 11. We did have a good look at Sidney while working to get our final plumbing problem in the RV repaired. Oceanside RV Resort gets top marks except in the wifi department. Our site, #16, is quite close to one of...

On Day 6, May 1st, I continued exploring the Thompson River and Fraser River Canyons, which had been planned as the main focus of this first week on the road. We spent the previous night at the Gold Pan Provincial Park campground, and I was in no hurry to...

Day 5 of the trip, April 30th, was a busy day. Once I hooked the Tracker back up to the motorhome after exploring Ashcroft, we continued south to Spences Bridge and on to the campground at Gold Pan Provincial Park on the Thompson River. Although I kept going in...

As I write this, Day 3 of the season-opener Adventure has begun. The plan for the trip is rather vague other than it will all be in northern and western British Columbia, and Vancouver Island is the primary focus. We’ll be on “The Island” for about a month. Cathy...

We pulled away from Dawson City just after 2:00 pm on Saturday, September 24th. I wanted to be home in Whitehorse in not much over 24 hours, but there were a few stops I wanted to make along the North Klondike Highway on the way. Approaching the Dawson airport...

On Friday, September 23rd, I had set up camp at the Yukon River Campground across the river from Dawson City at 4:00 pm. Although closed, the gate was open so no-services camping is allowed. I had a few hours to explore that afternoon and the next morning, and then...

I got home yesterday afternoon from 6 days in the RV, exploring along the North Klondike and Top of the World Highways, and in Dawson City. I had only very brief Internet accessibility in Dawson, so didn’t post or even write any blogs. It was a great trip and...
