At the end of the last post, Tyson and I had turned back onto the Dempster Highway at 1:05 on April 10th, and were headed for an overnight stay at Dawson City. This post covers a lot of spectacular miles, and has 54 photos. Of course I have a...

On Thursday (May 25th), I took the V-Star out for a wander, and it turned out to be an excellent day, despite the last hour of the 6-hour outing being in the rain. My day’s activities actually began at the Whitehorse airport. On Wednesday evening I had gone there...

Monday had been a busy and yet very relaxing day, and the plan was for the next couple of days to be similar. We got off to a late start Tuesday morning (July 14 – I’m getting way behind!). Monty slept with me as usual, and Bella and Molly...

We’ve just returned home from 9 days on the roads of the Yukon with the RV – our longest trip with it yet. I had little Internet access during that time (and didn’t do any blog writing in any case), so I’m playing catch-up now. Part 1 of the...

I finally got out on a real ride today, way later than usual. Just too much going on. Well, I actually was out on the bike for an hour or so the day before we went Haines over Easter, but an hour doesn’t real count 🙂 The plan today...

Sometimes things don’t work out the way you’d planned, but as long as you’re adaptable, what happens can still be enjoyable. That was certainly the case with this 11-hour, 585-km drive to Burwash Landing on Kluane Lake and back. The aurora forecast for Sunday night called for a very...

Tuesday was planned as another easy day with lots of time to stop to explore and photograph. The total mileage would only be 702 km (436 miles) – the previous day’s total from Whitehorse was 686 km. It would be a late start from Northern Rockies Lodge, though, to...

I’m back on the road again, this time for about 17 days, doing basically a loop around what Destination British Columbia calls the Great Northern Circle Route, with some changes. I left home on Monday just over 2 hours before sunrise, to catch dawn at Teslin. Gorgeous light looking...

As usual at the end of a trip, I was anxious to get home, and was out of my room at the Northern Rockies Lodge just before 04:30 on Friday. I didn’t get any photos of the lodge’s dining room last night, so shot a couple this morning at...

On Thursday, my schedule called for a 621-km drive up the Alaska Highway to Muncho Lake where I had a room booked at the beautiful Northern Rockies Lodge. As usual, I was up early, though I didn’t plan to get away until the light was good, as my first...
