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...

Summer has arrived in the southern Yukon in a major way. We’re now hovering around record temperatures (8-10 degrees above normal) every day for at least the next week, and I’m of course looking for ways to enjoy as much of it as possible. On Wednesday afternoon (July 5th)...

As is often the case, the southern Yukon has had a dramatic heating-up the past week or so. May is probably the month with the most extreme shifts in average weather during the month. The temperature in Whitehorse officially reached 25.6°C on Thursday, May 18, demolishing the old record...

As I get older, the Yukon’s historic Venus silver mine (the primary subject of my first book) has become my fitness test. On Wednesday, I made my third attempt in a month to reach it. I made it. At 71, it was my slowest ever for the steep climb...

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...

The morning of Day 15, May 10th, was the first of 3 mornings that we’d wake up at Green Point. The plan for the day was the explore the area, and make the 20-km drive to Tofino to book a boat trip to Hot Springs Cove. Our first impression...

On Friday morning, Cathy went to work while I went into town to buy a few things to re-stock the RV, then drove 90 km down the Alaska Highway to Squanga Lake Campground at Km 1315.9. Squanga Lake Campground gets little use by tourists, perhaps because when they’re this...

This was originally written for a new blog, about naturism/nudism in the Yukon, Alaska and the northwest corner of British Columbia. Although I’ve been an advocate – even an activist at times – for naturism for many years (see my nude hiking website), the blog didn’t go any further,...

I’m already a day behind, as we’re now sailing from Saint Lucia to Barbados, but here’s what happened before that 🙂 November 5: Winds of 30-35 knots caused the outside decks on the Noordam to be closed for 2 days. Having a nice breakfast delivered to our cabin is...
