Exploring the WP&YR railway along Lewis Lake, Yukon

I’m spending far too much time on the computer lately, scanning photos, slides, and paper of various sorts, in my effort to get my space de-cluttered. But the weather yesterday was so lovely (mostly sunny, headed for a high of 11°C) that I decided to get outside. Soon “outside”...

On Tuesday, August 6th, my main outing was a mostly off-trail hike to the spectacular canyons of Summit Creek. The creek crosses the South Klondike Highway just a few hundred meters from where my motorhome was parked for a week of exploring. After getting back from an early-morning outing...

Fun at Summit Lake, and an aurora borealis night

The weather during our RV boondocking week was erratic, to say the least. We got everything from fog to heavy rain to glorious hot sun. That’s not at all what the weather forecasts had led me to believe. Yes, shocking 🙂 Sunday morning started off dark, with a thick,...

Hiking the International Falls trail and beyond

On August 2nd, our second day boondocking with the RV in the White Pass, I decided to take the dogs for a hike on the International Falls trail, and beyond to a pass overlooking the Chilkoot Trail. We’ve done it a few times, and it’s usually about a 5½-hour...

From sun and sand to snow at Kluane Lake, Yukon

The weather was spectacular on Friday, July 26th, and I planned to get a lot of walking done before Cathy arrived that night, to join us for a motorhome weekend. Our first walk of the day was towards the Slims River. Tucker always appreciates it when I play ball...
