I had been watching the weather forecasts and road reports for many weeks, looking for a good day to get into the mountains, and it finally came together yesterday (Saturday, January 24). The weather forecasts called from sun in both Whitehorse and Skagway, with highs of -17°C and -1°C...

We’re having a very gentle start to winter, but the skies are almost always cloudy, and that’s affecting many of us. Yesterday I fired up the Jeep and went looking for some sun. I went to bed very early the night before last because the skies had cleared late...

On Monday, September 1st, we took the motorhome to the White Pass, and this is the second post from that trip. My day started early as usual, but this time I was on the road, to get some photos at the Canada-USA border while the highway was still closed...

We’ve been having incredible weather to end the summer, and I’ve been trying to get out as much as possible. On Monday, September 1st, we took the motorhome to the White Pass, and got home last night. I got one good night of aurora, two excellent hikes on the...

A friend posted a meme on Facebook yesterday morning that got me thinking (thanks, Sue!). It said “Turn off the news. Go outside. Breathe. We were not meant to carry the burden of the entire world.” I’ve been doing quite well in moving away from the nastiness of politics,...

A wonderful spell of warm weather has prompted me to get out a fair bit. I wanted to do two road trips – one to the White Pass and one to see the new bridge being built at Teslin. A storm warning about a system moving in with heavy...

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...
