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...

It’s been a busy couple of days in Dawson Creek, and I could easily stay another day. But, Tumbler Ridge beckons, so we’ll be on the road this morning. I mainly want to tell you about the driving route that I created after noticing that there are none for...

I needed to go to Skagway to deal with a couple of things, and yesterday provided a tiny break between a couple of storm systems that have been and will be dumping a fair bit of snow there and in the White Pass. I was away from the house...

BC has endless opportunities for epic road trips of any length you choose, with virtually any combination of scenery you could want, from desert to rainforest. I spend a lot of time planning major road trips, some of which happen and some of which don’t. Although I’m still planning...

The Alaska Highway is on many people’s “bucket list”, and it would be easy to spend an entire summer exploring along it. Few of us have that much time, though, and it can be tough to prioritize what to see, especially if you want to get off the beaten...
