A last-minute decision took Cathy and I back out to Kluane Lake this past weekend, for our final RV camping weekend of this season. With night-time temperatures nearing -15°C (+5°F) later this week, it’s time to get my water system winterization done. We arrived at our favourite campground, Congdon...

On Day 7 of this RV trip – Monday, July 30 – the main activity of the day, following my hike on the North Klondike River Trail, was driving up the Dempster Highway about 50 kilometers. While we just poked slowly along looking for wildlife or anything else that...

Day 3 of this RV trip – Thursday, July 26th – was an eventful one, and this is the third post where I talk about parts of that day. After exploring a bit of Faro, we had left just before 4:30, with the idea that that we would spend...

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...

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,...

In the last 2 posts, I’ve covered the 7 canyons that I hiked during my 5 days at Muncho Lake Provincial Park in late August. But the dogs and I did a lot more – here’s a look at a couple of hiking trails, campgrounds, airplanes, storms, and more....

Some of my regular readers have been wondering when rescue puppies were going to appear on the blog again. Here are the first, and there will be lots more coming over the next few months 🙂 On Saturday, there was a request on the Yukon Animal Rescue Network (YARN)...

I took a drive to Skagway on Tuesday. I hadn’t been down since April 19th, which must make it one of the longest stretches without a Skagway trip in the past 25 years. It turned out to be an important day, as I saw a couple of significant changes...
