This is another very long post, mostly because I couldn’t see a logical way to split it into two posts. I made the Canada Day long weekend an extra-long weekend by going out to Congdon Creek Campground on Kluane Lake on Wednesday morning. Cathy drove out in the Tracker...

The main adventure for our second full day in Jasper was riding the aerial tramway. Cathy’s not a big fan of getting into the air that way, but did want to see the view so agreed to come with me. This was Day 41 of the trip – Friday,...

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...

I flew back from Calgary on Thursday afternoon. I love travelling, but here’s never enough time in my life right now – not enough time for visits, not enough time at home. That’s going to change in about 6 weeks, though. A final look out my daughter’s front window...

For the past 2 weeks I’ve been posting reports from the tour I’ve been driver/guide for, a trip from Whitehorse, Yukon to Seward, Alaska for Maher Tours of New Zealand. After leaving them at their cruise ship in Seward, I always do one more thing with my Maher groups...

Yesterday was a fine Spring day in Whitehorse. Flower buds are poking out of the ground everywhere – crocuses, Arctic poppies, delphiniums and fireweed the most noticeable on our property. Kayla and Monty don’t even want to come in the house anymore The snow is rapidly melting off...

I just have to show you the beautiful cat that we’re babysitting for a while. Molly was really enjoying the warm morning sun today. Edit: Somehow Molly just never left, and became a cherished member of our pack for 10 years, until she died of cancer ...

I’ve just lost a dear friend who has brought me armloads of joy for the past 7 years. He’s been fading for the past 3 weeks and this afternoon we discovered that he had an inoperable stomach tumor – he died on the operating table and my heart broke...

I don’t use checks very often anymore (pretty much everything is done online), but was looking for Northern or husky checks this morning anyway. Along the way, I found these cats -aren’t they cute? (they’re from Bradford, who also has some really nice wolf designs.) Yes, you do...

Kayla is a such a sweet dog I often chuckle at how she came into my life, and about the wolf-hybrid horror stories that circulate. She’s a registered wolf hybrid from a breeder in Ocala, Florida. When she was abandoned in Whitehorse, I took her in with the understanding...
