On Tuesday, June 9th, Day 12 of the trip and our 5th day in Newfoundland, we took one of the best tours we’ve ever been on – 2 hours sailing the 16-km length of Western Brook Pond, a strange name for one of the world’s most dramatic lakes. The...

Friday, June 5th, Day 8 of the trip, was our first day of exploring Newfoundland, and it was a beauty, with a fine example of what passion can accomplish with a ruined stone building, and a walk to a nice waterfall. We also picked up a rented Starlink Mini...

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 August 11th I walked from near Spirit Lake Lodge to Watson River Falls, and that showed me that it would be worthwhile to bring the e-bike down to explore along the the long-abandoned White Pass & Yukon Route rail line, which we walked along the reach the falls....

In my last blog post, I mentioned that I didn’t think that anyone canoes the Watson River that I posted a photo of. A friend of mine in Whitehorse said that she canoed it many years ago, and that there was a canyon to portage around, with a lovely...

On Tuesday, August 6th, day 6 of my White Pass RV-based hiking trip, I had a plan to hike to the canyons up Summit Creek. But I started the day off early by driving the Tracker south on the South Klondike Highway at 06:30 to do some low-light shooting...

My first look at the Faro area and Drury Creek Campground in particular on July 26th caused me to cancel the Alaska part of the trip and return for a better look from August 2nd until the 6th. This post, the final one about the trip, describes some of...
