Our second night boondocking in the White Pass with the RV was once again warm and silent, and I kept the bedroom windows open to enjoy both. The dogs got their first walk just before 06:00 on Sunday, and the light was beautiful. It looked like t was going...

On Friday morning, Cathy went to work while I went into town to buy a few things to re-stock the RV, then drove 90 km down the Alaska Highway to Squanga Lake Campground at Km 1315.9. Squanga Lake Campground gets little use by tourists, perhaps because when they’re this...

As slow-paced and relaxing as this trip was, there’s never enough time. After a leisurely morning and lunch at Tombstone Mountain Campground on Monday, we started the 113 kilometer (70 mile) drive to Dawson City just before 1:00. We stopped for a photo at the Welcome to Dawson sign,...

I ended my last post at the Dempster Junction fuel stop late Saturday afternoon. Cathy and I had been looking forward to getting back on the Dempster Highway for a long time, and Tombstone Campground at Km 71.7 was our planned home for the next two nights. At 4:40...

For most Yukoners, the Victoria Day weekend is the first camping weekend of the season. For us this year, it was the third camping weekend, having spent Easter at Haines and then a weekend at Skagway, but as with many of our neighbours, Skagway was once again our destination....

Our first RV trip of the season was off to a wonderful start. We knew that rain – possibly even on all 5 days – could happen, but Mother Nature was showing us her best. On Easter Sunday I was up and out early to catch what I hoped...

Getting a very early start to this year’s RV season has been a focus for Cathy and I for many weeks, with 5 nights in Haines over the Easter weekend being the target. For most people, the Victoria Day (May 24th) long weekend is the start, so many services...

The last-minute decision to make the fairly long detour to Wells Gray Provincial Park resulted in one of the most memorable 24 hours of the trip. Established on November 28, 1939, the 541,516 hectare (1,338,115 acre) park offers superb opportunities to see spectacular canyons and waterfalls as well as...
