Continuing on with the story, after dinner on Saturday, July 17th, we drove back to Summit Creek to do a little walk. A very little walk because that’s all Cathy can handle right now. A couple of the small trees overlooking Summit Lake. Nearest is a subalpine fir (Abies...

On the afternoon of Saturday, July 17th, our third day in the White Pass, I took Tucker on a big hike up what I call Border Ridge. It doesn’t have a name and pretty much nobody else goes there so I get to call it whatever I want 🙂...

We finally got away in the motorhome for a few days last week (we left home on Thursday, July 15th). It was just to the White Pass, but it was wonderful to get back into the mountains. Getting the rig ready to go was a long slow process –...

I haven’t been out much lately, so when a friend called Monday and asked if I wanted to go for the drive to Tutshi Lake the next day, “YES!!” was the easy answer. The weather forecast when I said that was for sunshine, and I almost cancelled a few...

This is Part 2 of the journal from a wonderful 4-day trip to the White Pass with the motorhome last week. The trip was so varied that I had to break it into 2 blog posts to accommodate a selection of the 381 photos remaining in the folder after...

My day with Bella and Tucker in the White Pass two weeks ago convinced me that I really needed to get down with the motorhome. Last Wednesday and Thursday, I got the rig ready, and Friday morning, the dogs and I headed down. Cathy would join us when she...

Life isn’t easy for most of us these days, and it had been a very long time since I spent time in the mountains with my dogs, Bella and Tucker. Yesterday, I borrowed Cathy’s Jeep for the kids’ comfort, and we went down to the White Pass. The weather...

These are crazy times, and the situation is changing so fast it’s hard to keep up with even your local situation. On Sunday, Cathy and I took the dogs down to Skagway and then Dyea for a play on the snow-free beach. Yesterday Skagway announced that visitors were no...

Cathy hasn’t joined the dogs and I on a adventure in a very long time, but on Friday she took the day off work to escort us to Skagway. Bella and Tucker are always happy to ride in Cathy’s Jeep Cherokee – it’s much more comfortable for them than...

My last attempt to drive to Skagway didn’t turn out well, but on Friday (November 22nd), I had the urge to have another go at it. I checked 511yukon this time and things looked good. The yellow means partly covered with snow, black is bare, and white is covered...
