My stay at home after the 59-day wander around BC and western Alberta was very short – 4 days. Then, despite mediocre weather forecasts, we made another drive out to Congdon Creek Campground at Kluane Lake for 4 nights over the Canada Day long weekend. It turned out to...

Just after 3:00 pm on Day 44 of the trip – Friday, June 8th – we left Rocky Mountain House National Historic Site and headed west on Highway 11. The destination was vague – somewhere around Nordegg, where I wanted to take a tour of the historic coal mine...

In the afternoon of Day 20 and morning of Day 21 of the trip – Tuesday, May 15th and Wednesday, May 16th – Cathy and I continued to explore New Denver with one of my sisters and her husband, from our base at the beautiful Centennial Park campground on...

The Fraser Canyon still held my attention on Day 9 of the trip – Saturday, May 5th – with a dog-walk at Hell’s Gate and a good look at the historic community of Yale being the main points. We pulled away from the Canyon Alpine RV Park at 11:00,...

After hiking in to Skookumchuck Narrows in the morning of Day 43 of the trip, June 7th, I made the short drive to Sechelt. We got set up for 2 nights at the Porpoise Bay Provincial Park campground just north of town, and began our Sechelt exploring with a...
