Yesterday was a combination of exploring Whistler Village on foot, and driving down Howe Sound to see some of the attractions. The first photo was shot near the gondolas, and is very much a typical Whistler scene. Cathy and I are really enjoying this place – it’s a wonderful...

I took the long way around from Kelowna to Abbotsford today, and as usual, I wished that I had more time. I’d really forgotten how much time I used to spend along the Hope-Princeton Highway and the southern Okanagan, but as location after location triggered memories I stopped quite...

I left Calgary on the morning of June 12th and am now in Kelowna for 4 days visiting a sister and her hubby, my parents, and a friend from high school. My first stop was Cochrane, which not that many years ago looked like the cattle ranching and petroleum...

Just a short note from back on the Alaska Highway this morning before I head back into the rocks, bound for Revelstoke. Many people researching their drive to the Yukon and Alaska hear about the lack of traffic on the road, but what exactly does that mean? Here’s the...

Today was a fun day in town. We dropped the girls off at school and went shopping 🙂 There are a whole lot of things that Whitehorse does very well, but although shopping is a world better than it was a decade ago, it’s still pretty dismal. On our...

I couldn’t live on the Prairies, but I do enjoy visiting. Boring at first glance perhaps, but particularly if you get off on the back roads, there’s a grandness that is very powerful, and there are photo ops everywhere. We made a quick trip out to Drumheller and back...

I’m in Jasper, about to get ready to leave for Calgary, via the Icefields Parkway. This is a bit of a detour but I haven’t been on the Parkway in over 30 years, so it’s time for a look-see. Yesterday was a long day and I arrived here exhausted...

I’m currently in a hotel at Mile 300 of the Alaska Highway (Fort Nelson, BC). I had hoped to reach Fort St. John but got slowed down by seeing about a million animals up close today – bears, moose, caribou, Rocky Mountain sheep, bison, even a bald eagle feeding...
