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...

After a couple of days camped at the Cottonwood Meadows RV Park at Chilliwack and visiting long-time friends in the area, Day 17, Tuesday, May 10th, was the next exploring day. I had 2 nights, 3 days to drive the 358 km to Bear Creek Provincial Park in West...

With the weather not very conducive to Adventures lately, the vast majority of my time is being spent on house renovations. But History is always part of my life, and I’ve spent a bit of time going through my files of old newspaper articles. A couple that caught my...

On Wednesday (May 8th), I made the 2 hour, 20 minute flight from Whitehorse to Calgary with Air North. The spur for the trip was to pick up a new car, but it was also a great chance to spend time with my kids and their families. After some...

Photography is a state of mind to some degree – the more I shoot one day (like yesterday), the more I shoot the next time, and I start to see things differently. I get back to really seeing what’s around me. I had to go to Carcross today to...

I’m now on Day 5 of a trip to see family members in southern British Columbia and Alberta. I haven’t taken very many photos (185 so far, 70 of them in a single car museum 🙂 ) but I’ll show you some of the places I’ve been. This was...

Yesterday was our day to explore Fairbanks. This was my 1-bedroom apartment at the Wedgewood Resort. This was the view from my apartment yesterday at 03:29, half an hour before sunrise. There’s lots of interesting stuff to look at on the walk over to the restaurant, which is at...

I’ve been back on land for 8 days now, and am, of course, up to my neck in projects of all kinds. One of my pet peeves is paying good money for what turns out to be junk – just yesterday I returned a junk shoe rack ($40, on...
