It’s been over a month now since I’ve posted anything about what’s going on, so here’s a bit of catching up. Our new puppy, Bella, has been the focus of my life the past few weeks. I seldom look at her without smiling – it’s hard to believe what...

Okay, most of the route isn’t quite snow-free, but as you’ll see in the photos below, there’s not much of the white stuff anywhere. The poor organizers of even the Iditarod sled dog race are stressing about where they’re going to find a suitable route. I needed to go...

After a few days trying to adopt one of the husky-cross (a.k.a. “Alaskan Husky”) puppies from a rescued litter near Canmore, Alberta, it finally came together on Thursday (February 6th). I booked a flight for the next day to go down and get her. Air North is well known...

It’s now been a month since I last posted – that may be the longest “dry spell” here in 4 years. I’ve been so busy that I hardly know which direction is up, but this morning I’d like to tell you about some of what’s been going on, starting...

On Tuesday, yet another spectacular hot day, Monty and I headed back into the high country, this time to a spot I’d not yet made it into. An old mining road leads into the mountains between Tutshi Lake and Lake Bennett, but it’s buried in snow for all but...

Lately I’ve mostly been going to places that are too extreme to take my dog, and I feel bad about that, so a few days ago, Monty and I did a little adventure in our 4×4, to Montana Mountain at Carcross. We had a gorgeous day for wandering, and...

It’s tough to beat spending time with a family of 4 bald eagles to start the day off right, and yesterday, that’s what Monty and I did. The trail is high and there’s some exposure that certainly makes having a full pot of coffee in your belly seem like...

What a crazy summer it’s been so far! I decided to not even try to catch you up on what’s been going on in my world for the past few weeks, but start fresh. We’re doing a lot of major renovation work on the house. After an initial hard...
