The main objective for Day 27 of our RV trip – Tuesday, May 22nd – was the Canadian Museum of Rail Travel in Cranbrook, which was closed when we were there 2 years ago. Then we’d move on to Sparwood, the first of the Crownest Pass coal mining towns...

More and more, we find that the slower we move and the more flexible we are, the better the trip is. But the reality is that there’s never enough time. At about 11:00 on Day 25 of the trip – Sunday, May 20th – we began the 228-km drive...

In the afternoon of Day 20 and morning of Day 21 of the trip – Tuesday, May 15th and Wednesday, May 16th – Cathy and I continued to explore New Denver with one of my sisters and her husband, from our base at the beautiful Centennial Park campground on...

The Fraser Canyon still held my attention on Day 9 of the trip – Saturday, May 5th – with a dog-walk at Hell’s Gate and a good look at the historic community of Yale being the main points. We pulled away from the Canyon Alpine RV Park at 11:00,...

As I mentioned in my last post, I chose to use the Canyon Alpine RV Park & Campground as my base for exploring that part of the Fraser Canyon. It worked out particularly well, and telling you about it justifies a separate post. I arrived at Canyon Alpine, 5...

After some exploring in the Cache Creek area on the morning of Day 7 of the trip – Wednesday, May 3 – we continued south from the Redhill Rest Area. I didn’t know how far we’d be going, just that it wouldn’t be far. At Cache Creek, the highway...

On Day 6 of the trip – Tuesday, May 1 – I drove from Farwell Canyon west of Williams Lake to the Redhill Rest Area south of Cache Creek, then did some exploring in the Tracker the next morning. Tuesday had started out very cloudy, and there was extensive...

This was my third annual visit to Farwell Canyon with the RV, after a high school friend bringing me here in 2015. The more I see of the area, the more captivated I am by it. The stark, spectacular beauty of Farwell Canyon, and the history of the Pothole...

Although I had planned to get some work done on the RV in Dawson Creek on Saturday, April 28th (Day 3 of the trip), that didn’t work out. As a result, I was away early, with no real schedule for the day. I’d just see what was happening along...

My plan for RV Season 2018 had been to leave Whitehorse on April 20th. That didn’t happen, though – I caught a nasty cold that Cathy had, and I wasn’t well enough to hit the road until Thursday, April 26th. And that was a stretch. As I begin writing...
