For our first “no-services” camping weekend with the RV, we chose Congdon Creek Campground on Kluane Lake, and it was perfect, with spectacular scenery and Fall colours. I had the rig ready to go when Cathy got home from work Friday night, and stopping for dinner at the Otter...

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...

On Friday night, we made the 160-km drive down to the little town of Atlin, often referred to as the Switzerland of the North. Atlin has captivated me ever since my first visit in 1985, and was the perfect spot for our first entire-family trip in the motorhome. It...

Friday night was a fairly short one – I went to bed at the top of the Sikanni Chief hill, and was back on the Alaska Highway well before 05:00. I don’t think that the people protesting a new pipeline in BC have any idea how many hundreds of...

When I went to bed at the Bow Lake viewpoint on the Icefields Parkway Wednesday night, I had a comfortable feeling that I was almost home. Only another 1,400 miles to go. A few minutes after 05:00, I went for a bit of a wander to get the blood...

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...

To tell you about Day 3 requires more than one post – after editing, I have 537 photos in the day’s file. So I’m cutting this one off at the Utah border, which I reached just after 3:00 pm. This was the planned route – seems simple and short...
