It’s been 7 weeks since I last talked to you. In that time the southern Yukon has gone from a nice Fall to a dreary but fairly mild Winter, with a more normal snow level than the last two extremely heavy-snow Winters. Another Winter like those two might get...

Well, my friends, I don’t know how this will end, but I’m going to try to write a blog post in the style of “the before times.” If successful it will be my second post in 6 months. I have two things going on health-wise. I’m not going to...

It’s wonderful to finally get to spend a week with my daughter and son. This morning, I suggested that we go out to the Yamnuska Wolfdog Sanctuary, located 60 west near Cochrane. Despite being on the list of places I wanted to see for many years, Cathy and I...

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...

In the Yukon, the discovery of gold that led to the Klondike Gold Rush is celebrated by Discovery Day, a statutory holiday and long weekend. We eventually decided to go back to the Congdon Creek Campground on Kluane Lake for the long weekend – it’s our favourite campground overall....

My stay at home after the 59-day wander around BC and western Alberta was very short – 4 days. Then, despite mediocre weather forecasts, we made another drive out to Congdon Creek Campground at Kluane Lake for 4 nights over the Canada Day long weekend. It turned out to...

I’ve been so busy for the past many weeks that I’ve hardly been out exploring at all. Yesterday, though, a friend and I drove out to Kluane Lake, and it was superb – an absolute 10/10 day. Though very cold, there wasn’t a cloud in the sky, we got...

Yesterday wasn’t a great day weather-wise, but a photographer from Kelowna and I had a great day photography-wise in one of the most spectacular spots that you can reach on a day-trip from Whitehorse – Paddy Peak. When we headed south from Whitehorse, I wasn’t certain that we’d be...
