Conrad Campground has 6 walk-in tenting sites isolated by a substantial distance from the main part of the campground. They sites can be seen toward the centre left of the map below. There are walk-in tenting sites at 13 other campgrounds but none are as large and isolated as...

This post is actually about two visits to Conrad Campground with the motorhome. The first one, on July 4th-5th, only lasted one night due to a major electrical problem. With that fixed, the second one was from July 10th through the 14th. On our first visit, our first RV...

Yesterday, June 20th, was World Naked Hiking Day, one of the two big annual events for nudists and naturists. It’s actually held on the Summer Solstice, which is usually June 21st, but this year Solstice is early. The other big nudist/naturist event is World Naked Gardening Day, but it’s...

It felt so good to be on the road to Kluane Lake on Monday, I decided on Wednesday (February 14th) to drive to Skagway. Although I didn’t make it, the White Pass was so incredible I have to show you. The outing got off to a rough start. I...

I’ve been watching the weather forecasts for Whitehorse and Skagway recently, waiting for a good day to make the drive to Skagway. The last time I was down was in July when I took the motorcycle, and it’s hard to say when Cathy’s last visit to our coastal neighbour...
