Tuesday, October 6th, day 28 of the trip, was going to be a fairly long day, 552 km from just west of Fort Fraser to Stewart. It got even longer and much less fun when we were attacked in the early afternoon, resulting in several thousand dollars in damage...

On Monday, October 5th, day 27 of the trip, I left Williams Lake at about 09:30, planning to put on as many miles as possible due to problems at home. I hoped to end the day up the Stewart-Cassiar Highway somewhere. The morning began very foggy, and I was...

It’s now Saturday, October 10th, and I’m home in Whitehorse. We got in on Thursday night after a long, dreary day that began with freezing rain. But between Kelowna and Whitehorse, we saw some wonderful places that I want to show you, so let’s step back a few days....

On days 16 and 17 of the trip (Thursday and Friday, September 24 and 25), we drove from Cochrane to West Kelowna with a detour into Lake Louise, a total of 610 km (379 miles). Before we leave Cochrane, I want to show you some more photos of the...

Starting on day 13, Monday, September 21, we had 3 full days to spend with my daughter and grand-daughters from our base at the Bow Rivers Edge Campground in Cochrane, which is our new “best-ever” commercial campground. Figuring out everyone’s work and school schedules was a bit daunting, but...

On day 11, Saturday, September 19, we started south on the Icefields Parkway just before 3:30, with our 2-day pass in the window getting us waved through the gate. The weather was iffy, and we didn’t have very high hopes for seeing the best of the highway’s spectacular views....

On day 10, Friday, September 18, we made the short drive from Hinton to Jasper. I’ve been lucky enough to spend a few days at Jasper in recent years, but it’s one of those places where no amount of time is enough, so we decided to spend a night...

Before we leave Hinton and continue on to Jasper, I want to show you the Hinton/Jasper KOA campground, as it’s the nicest one we’ve stayed at yet. First impressions are really important, and the office is very nice. The woman who checked me in was professional and friendly, and...

On days 6 and 7 of the trip, Monday and Tuesday September 14th and 15th, I was mostly on a push to reach Hinton, though I was going to stop as often as possible when the opportunity arose. The West Pine rest area had been a really nice place...

With huge changes coming to Highway 29 in the next few years due to the construction of a massive new power dam, it was important to me to make the fairly lengthy detour to get another look at it. Sunday, September 13th, day 5 of the trip, entailed a...
