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...

We got home from our 62-day RV trip on June 26th, and although we’ve already been on another 5-day outing to Kluane Lake, I want to finish off the story of the big trip by giving you a global look at the trip, including a summary of costs that...

Leaving Gitlaxt’aamiks (New Aiyansh) at 4:00 pm on Day 57 of the trip, June 21, we began a driving tour of Nisga’a Memorial Lava Bed Provincial Park, which is actually called Anhluut’ukwsim Laxmihl Angwinga’asanskwhl Nisga’a. See a park map (pdf, 198 Kb). It was and has been extremely difficult...

I had been planning on driving to Bella Coola on Day 54, June 18th, but a forecast for rain and a nag that something wasn’t right stopped me, and I headed to Williams Lake and then north instead. I decided that Smithers would be a good destination, making it...

On the drive to Lillooet, I disconnected the Tracker to go back for a better look at the western section of the Duffey Lake Road, the climb up from Pemberton. On Day 47, June 11th, I went back for a look at the eastern section, the even more dramatic...

Yesterday was the first our of 2-day drive around “The Golden Circle”. Although it deserves much more time, we’re basically just killing time while the Yukon Quest mushers get to Dawson where we’ll meet them again. We were away from Whitehorse at 08:00, with the temperature sitting at -24°C...

While I’m puppy-sitting so am not very mobile, I’m going through many thousands of photos from this past summer. They need to be captioned and put in categories so I can find them when I need them. I usually do this soon after shooting, but never sat still long...

The drive home with the new Jeep was much quicker than I prefer, but it’s always enjoyable. The total distance from my daughter’s home in Airdrie to mine in Whitehorse was 3,101 km (1,927 mi). Click here to open an interactive version of the map in a new window....

We’ve been home now for 5 days, and although I’m not nearly caught up on a few jobs, I want to give you a global look at the trip. We travelled 4,992 miles (8,034 kilometers) in the motorhome, another few hundred in the Tracker (I didn’t keep track of...

Monday (May 2nd) had already been a fabulous day by noon, but there was a circle tour recommended by Destination BC that I wanted to see. It was supposed to take 6 hours, but having the Gang Ranch in the description was enough to get me going. The route...
