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...

Part of the decision to stop for Thursday night at Summit Lake, thus adding an extra 140 km to Friday’s drive, was that if there’s any part of the Alaska Highway that I’m willing to power through, it’s the 370-km (230-mi) section from Fort Nelson to Fort St. John....

Day 2 of the trip, Thursday, September 10th, was so busy that by the end of it, it took me a while to figure out that it actually had been just one day 🙂 Dawn at our parking spot for the night, a large gravel pullout at Km 749.5,...

I’m posting this from Dawson Creek, day 3 of what will be about a month-long trip. So far, we’ve had good weather, very good Fall colours, and decent wildlife sightings. This will be my route – basically a figure-8 through much of BC, and a bit of the Alberta...

Day 14 (Friday, August 14th) of our trip saw us drive 375 km (233 mi) from Tok to the Congden Creek Campground on Kluane Lake. MJ and Jim had to drive home the next day to return their rental RV, but Cathy and I stayed to enjoy our favourite...

On Day 12 of the trip, Wednesday, August 12th, we drove 224 km (139 mi) from Denali National Park to Tangle Lakes Campground on the Denali Highway. The next day was a long one, 476 km (296 mi) to Tok via Copper Center. We left Riley Creek Campground just...

After some intensive days, things slowed down enough that I can put 3 days in one blog post, with “only” 24 photos 🙂 On Saturday (August 8th), we drove the 383 km (238 mi) from Seward to Talkeetna, then onSunday, continued on another 245 km (152 mi) to Denali...

Our second full day in Seward would have lots of variety, and we split up for a while. Our first job of the day, though, was to find a new place to park our motorhomes. Unable to find a site at the City’s waterfront parks in town, we had...

We had built some flexibility into our itinerary, and that had already become useful, as the days were much shorter than we thought they’d be (that could have something to do with our “early to bed, late to rise” regime) 🙂 We had also re-thought some of our campgrounds,...

Monday, August 3rd, would be one of our longest driving days – 458 km (285 miles) from Tok to Palmer. Our peaceful forested site at the Tundra Lodge & RV Park in Tok was a really nice place to start the day off, made even better by a little...
