These are crazy times, and the situation is changing so fast it’s hard to keep up with even your local situation. On Sunday, Cathy and I took the dogs down to Skagway and then Dyea for a play on the snow-free beach. Yesterday Skagway announced that visitors were no...

Well, my friends, I’m back. I found someone with the skills needed to solve my health mystery. I’ll tell you more about that at the end of this post. Yesterday was Day 12 of feeling better, and I did the final test – I drove out to Kluane Lake...

With the beautiful light returning, I’m getting road fever, so on Monday I decided to take Bella and Tucker on a drive out to Kluane Lake. My post on Facebook as I started out said, “I probably just need a bunch of fresh air and mountains to get better...

Cathy hasn’t joined the dogs and I on a adventure in a very long time, but on Friday she took the day off work to escort us to Skagway. Bella and Tucker are always happy to ride in Cathy’s Jeep Cherokee – it’s much more comfortable for them than...

My last attempt to drive to Skagway didn’t turn out well, but on Friday (November 22nd), I had the urge to have another go at it. I checked 511yukon this time and things looked good. The yellow means partly covered with snow, black is bare, and white is covered...

I’d been watching for an opportunity to get away for a few days, preferably with some hiking, and on Wednesday, July 31st, a fairly good weather forecast showed up that held potential for a getaway in the White Pass. I got my shopping done that afternoon, and the next...

The weather was spectacular on Friday, July 26th, and I planned to get a lot of walking done before Cathy arrived that night, to join us for a motorhome weekend. Our first walk of the day was towards the Slims River. Tucker always appreciates it when I play ball...

I’d been itching to get back on the road but things kept getting in the way – projects at home, wildfires, lousy weather, and on and on. On Wednesday, July 24th, though, things finally lined up to go one direction at least – west to Kluane Lake and hopefully...

I had to go to Skagway on Thursday to pick up a couple of packages at the post office, and it was one of those days that developed on the fly. I thought about taking the motorcycle, then maybe my dog with no dogs, then finally invited Bella and...

I made a quick trip to Skagway last Wednesday, mostly to pick up some shirts I’d ordered. The weather forecast wasn’t great but any drive through the mountains to Skagway is a good drive. Going through the summit area, the scenery wasn’t as spectacular as it is some days...
