On August 26 I drove to Carcross for an event arranged by COPA (the Canadian Owner and Pilots Association, Yukon Flight 106) and the Klondike Cruisers car club. For the Cruisers, there was a poker run which started at the Yukon Transportation Museum, with numerous stops on the way...

Cathy and I spent a couple of nights in Vancouver last week – another medical trip for me. I was feeling well enough to take a lot of photos with the idea of writing a blog post about it, but the size and complexity is overwhelming and I haven’t...

At about 11:00 on Day 23 of our RV trip – Friday, May 18th – we left Nakusp Hot Springs and headed southeast towards the historic community of Kaslo. We had no plans for an overnight stop – it would just be wherever looked appropriate. At Nakusp, we stopped...

From Airdrie to Jasper on Wednesday December 13th, I had had superb weather, but I reached Jasper just after noon, stopped for fuel, and my luck with the weather ran out soon after. My rough-draft itinerary called for me to reach Vanderhoof that night – 990 km from my...

The beginning of March already! This winter has gone by so quickly I can hardly believe it – the foster-puppies sure helped with that for a few weeks! With Father Winter still hanging on, dogs and old cars and writing about history are all helping the days go by....

The drive home with the new Jeep was much quicker than I prefer, but it’s always enjoyable. The total distance from my daughter’s home in Airdrie to mine in Whitehorse was 3,101 km (1,927 mi). Click here to open an interactive version of the map in a new window....

Cathy has wanted a new car for a long time, and finally bought a new Jeep online on Tuesday. I’m now on a week-long wander home with it. We’ve been all over the map in thinking about what Cathy needs and wants. We settled on a 2016 Jeep Cherokee...

A couple that were on my 2015 Yukon Quest tour have a large collection of cars, trucks, toy cars and other stuff in De Winton, just south of Calgary. I’ve had a standing invitation to come for a visit, and finally made time to do that, on our last...

Day 36 of the trip – Sunday, May 29th – was a wonderful day full of family activities in Airdrie. For Cathy and I, this day, like every day, started off with lots of play time with Bella and Tucker in the leash-free park, then we made the 1/2-hour...
