The itinerary for Monday, May 3rd, Day 10 of the trip, was to drive from Farwell Canyon to Bella Coola. It would include one of the big Adventures of the journey – driving “The Hill” into Bella Coola. It’s been infamous due to its very steep drop, and winding,...

From the Blue Cedars Campground in Prince George, the next stop was one I’d been looking forward to since a friend from high school who lives in Williams Lake took me there last Fall. Farwell Canyon had pretty much everything that my perfect RV boondocking site requires. “Boondocking” is...

Saturday was going to be a really easy day. The only solid plan was to have a good look at the Railway & Forestry Museum in Prince George, but I was open to other options as they were presented. The Crooked River Rest Area was empty when we arrived,...

As I write this post on Sunday, May 1st, I’m camped in the wilderness an hour west of Williams Lake, with no cell, no Internet – not even any radio stations. I won’t have Internet access to post this until I reach Bella Coola on Tuesday or Wednesday. It’s...

As I start writing this, it’s the morning of our third day on the road, and I’m parked along the Alaska Highway in the middle of nowhere south of Fort Nelson, BC. It feels like it’s been longer than that – which I think is a good sign that...

We’re having a very easy winter this year, and I’m lovin’ it. The days are getting longer now and everybody is starting to comment on how good it feels – today, January 31st,the sun will rise at 09:22 and set at 17:06. The temperature only dropped to -7°C last...

By 11:30 on Wednesday, October 7th, day 29 of the trip, we had seen so many amazing places up the Salmon Glacier road that the day should have been over, but it was really just beginning as we pulled away from Stewart. We were really headed home now, though...

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....
