Exploring the WP&YR railway along Lewis Lake, Yukon
I’m spending far too much time on the computer lately, scanning photos, slides, and paper of various sorts, in my effort to get my space de-cluttered. But the weather yesterday was so lovely (mostly sunny, headed for a high of 11°C) that I decided to get outside. Soon “outside”...

A 6-day RV outing to Kluane Lake: Part 2
When I left off Part 1 of this journal, I was watching a bulldozer groom the banks of Silver Creek, on Friday, September 4th. In a few hours Cathy would be arriving from Whitehorse, but I had more exploring to do at the head of Kluane Lake. I was...

A 6-day RV outing to Kluane Lake: Part 1
First, if you came to read anything on the blog in the past 12 days, my apologies for the blank pages. My tech support has been very good the past several years I’ve been with them, but sure dropped the ball on this one. I still don’t really understand...

COVID-19 in the Yukon – the past, present, and future

Return to Summit Creek and International Falls
This is Part 2 of the journal from a wonderful 4-day trip to the White Pass with the motorhome last week. The trip was so varied that I had to break it into 2 blog posts to accommodate a selection of the 381 photos remaining in the folder after...

Back to the White Pass for a few days
With my health improving, I’ve worked my way slowly up to a normal outing with the motorhome, and the White Pass, 90 minutes south, has been my location each time. First a single day with the car 3 weeks ago, then 2 days with the motorhome, and I’ve just...

Disconnecting in the wilderness is good for your head
My day with Bella and Tucker in the White Pass two weeks ago convinced me that I really needed to get down with the motorhome. Last Wednesday and Thursday, I got the rig ready, and Friday morning, the dogs and I headed down. Cathy would join us when she...
