On Monday, September 1st, we took the motorhome to the White Pass, and this is the second post from that trip. My day started early as usual, but this time I was on the road, to get some photos at the Canada-USA border while the highway was still closed...

We’ve been having incredible weather to end the summer, and I’ve been trying to get out as much as possible. On Monday, September 1st, we took the motorhome to the White Pass, and got home last night. I got one good night of aurora, two excellent hikes on the...
