Those of you who have been reading my blog for a while have seen many photos of Fraser, British Columbia, that I’ve taken on my drives to Skagway. I’ve now posted some information about Fraser and an album of 23 images taken throughout the year. It will hopefully give...

I enjoy seeing any wildlife when I’m out cruising, but spending time with lynx is an absolutely magical experience. My buddy Rob and I went down to Skagway yesterday for a day photo of photography, and on the way home we saw 3 lynx along Tutshi Lake (perhaps the...

Despite weather forecasts that called for sun in both Whitehorse and Skagway today, it turned out to be high fog for most of the day. Dropping down to Tutshi Lake, the scene was stunning, though – a gunmetal-gray lake below and thick fog of the same colour parting just...

During a Yukon summer it’s easy to just sit back and enjoy the benign Nature that surrounds us, and even that is easily overshadowed by the rush of “things to do” that most of us have. This time of year, though, Nature is tough to ignore – she bites,...

Yesterday turned out much better than the forecast had indicated, and so the drive to Skagway and back was a much longer trip than I had expected. We stopped on the way to Skagway for a bit of a run at Tutshi Lake as usual, and then for a...

The wind has a bite to it, and most of the fence post holes I’m digging still get stalled when I hit solid ice a few inches below the surface, so today I took advantage of an opportunity to go to Skagway with my buddy Rob, who needed to...

I don’t think I’m a radical at all when it comes to progress – I understand the greys, not just the blacks and whites of issues. But Yukon Electrical seems to have carte blanche to do whatever they want in the Yukon, with no regulatory and/or public input, and...

Yesterday was road trip day. Only a little road trip to Skagway to pick up a bunch of gear for the trip, but it was one of those severe, dramatic days that I love. It was -38°C (-36°F) when I left Mary Lake, and -16°C (+4°°F) when I reached...

This morning started out cold and colourless – very much a black-and-white world – and I expected few or no photo ops on my trip to Carcross and back. As you’ll see below, though, the camera did come out of the bag. The first shot was taken just north...

On Boxing Day, Cathy and I went out looking for deals in Whitehorse. The only deal we found was at Staples, where you could get Norton Antivirus for $10 – there was an unstated catch that you could only get the $25 rebate on 1 copy, though, so I...
