This article was originally written for the Destination BC Blog, and was re-posted here under the same date when that blog was closed. I first discovered the village of Atlin by air, during a life-changing tour of the Far North that took me from my home in Langley to...

There were 2 primary focuses for Wednesday – first, get the motorhome paperwork done at the border (and I had no idea how long that would take), and meet my daughter and grand-daughters for dinner. Beyond, it was just “see what happens”, as usual. I was in bed early...

Travel excites me. Especially largely-unplanned travel – I love not knowing what’s around the next corner, and being able to take detours on a whim. Tuesday was one of those days – not spectacular, but very special. The well-equipped motorhome dash had an addition this morning, with a souvenir...

To get the the border at Sweetgrass, Montana at the scheduled time (or day, at least – Wednesday the 13th), I had about 48 hours to drive the 950-odd miles – 2 easy days. I had run into a problem that needed to be sorted out at Salt Lake...

When I left off yesterday, I’d crossed into Utah at 3:10 pm, headed north on U.S. Route 89. Travel was much slower than I expected due to the many photo ops that kept presenting themselves. But Bryce Canyon, another of my Bucket List destinations, was tonight’s goal. This impressive...

This post was originally written for the Destination BC Blog, but when it was closed I moved it here, under the original date. Motorcycle enthusiasts around the world know BC as a dream destination for road trips, and high on the list of the best routes to ride is...

I got home very early Tuesday morning from another big adventure across British Columbia and the Alberta Rockies by air and land, bringing a new motorhome to Whitehorse for friends. I didn’t have time to post while I was on the road, but this is the first of probably...

To me, “Route 66” has always been a magical term. For anyone who still has a bit of their brain stuck in the 1950s, that road is almost sure to be part of the memory. I’ve driven some small sections of it in California, but seeing the whole route,...

After starting off on the final leg of the drive home yesterday morning, I turned around for some more exploring in Stewart, but was back on the road for real just after 10:00 am. I had no real plans for the day – I might end up sleeping in...
