(and other stuff from the final 36 hours in Haines, and the drive home 🙂 ) Although we had no solid plans for our week in Haines, we really wanted to see brown bears along the Chilkoot River, and made several drives out to the river and lake. The...

Sometimes it takes a friend to help you get un-stuck. Having tea with a friend has done that for me, and here’s the second little post as a result. It’s really easy to get flat during the winter. Even Bella and Tucker do – and despite having a house...

Yesterday started off as a drive into Whitehorse to pick up a new phone, but kept evolving and turned into a superb drive to Kluane Lake and back – 8 hours, 511 km. I had taken some extra photo gear and clothing with me with a drive of some...

A few months ago a friend asked if I’d like to go to a lake that neither of us had been to before. Caribou Lake is easy to access from the Alaska Highway but neither of us knew anything about it beyond what we see on maps. Click here...

I’m not getting out much anymore, but decided to go into town and get a few groceries yesterday. It’s been dark, cloudy and dreary lately, but despite there being no good weather forecast, I wondered if perhaps the Fish Lake Road might climb up into better weather. Did it...

As the snow gets deeper and deeper and cloudy skies are the norm, I haven’t been doing much outside the house, but I have gotten out with a friend a couple of times, once with Bella and Tucker, and once out to the wildlife preserve. Visually, the deep snow...

My regular readers may have noticed that we haven’t been out in the motorhome much this year. There’s a lot going on, but last Friday we finally got away to Kluane Lake for a much-needed break. After a few delays (I had initially planned on going out Tuesday), the...
