It’s taken me a while to get back to finish off this post – I had an antiques-and-collectibles yard sale to get ready for, and that took all the energy I had. Spitty rain caused me to leave the sale after only an hour, but it was a productive...

I haven’t said much about the COVID-19 situation here, mostly because it’s been changing so fast. Back on April 23rd my posted was entitled “It’s a strange world – I hope you’re all okay,” and that statement still applies. Our lockdown didn’t last very long, and we haven’t had...

On Monday, I got a call from a friend asking if I’d like to go to Kusawa Lake. Yes, I certainly would! We usually take our dogs but decided not to today. We didn’t get away until 1:00, but I wasn’t feeling up to a long day anyway. It...

Like many of you, I’m hoping that what’s going on is just a bad dream and soon I’ll wake up and life will be normal again. I’m not looking forward any further than tomorrow – things are changing too fast. Cathy and I are okay, and I hope you...

The final full day for my Yukon Quest tour included one of what will no doubt be one of the highlights of the trip for my guests – 4 hours of mushing their own dog sleds on Lake Laberge. We began our day at the Yukon Wildlife Preserve. Preserve...

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...

The final stop on our 14-day wander around the Yukon was Drury Creek Campground on Little Salmon Lake. We spent 4 nights there, from August 2nd until the 6th, and made a couple of drives to explore more of Faro, as well as shorter drives to explore other places....

We began the second day of this RV trip – Wednesday, July 25th – with only a vague idea that the Lapie Canyon Campground just past Ross River would make a good overnight stop. But I was open to pretty much anything. We spent the night at a pullout...

Cathy’s RV focus for a while has been to get back to Dawson, so that is where the fur-kids and I are headed as I write this while camped at Ross River. We’re taking a very long route, though, via the Robert Campbell Highway. The Campbell Highway, Yukon Highway...
