Conrad Campground has 6 walk-in tenting sites isolated by a substantial distance from the main part of the campground. They sites can be seen toward the centre left of the map below. There are walk-in tenting sites at 13 other campgrounds but none are as large and isolated as...

This post is actually about two visits to Conrad Campground with the motorhome. The first one, on July 4th-5th, only lasted one night due to a major electrical problem. With that fixed, the second one was from July 10th through the 14th. On our first visit, our first RV...

On Sunday morning (July 10th), Cathy got a call from our friend Adam, asking if I would like to join him and his son Cecil, who just turned 3, on their boat for a day on Tagish Lake. Cathy replied that I wasn’t doing very well so no, but...

June 29 was an amazing day, riding behind the White Pass & Yukon Route’s beloved 1947 Baldwin steam locomotive #73 to Bennett and back. I’m still not clear on how this all played out, but 9 days prior I had received an email from a friend at the WP&YR,...

My new garden that is designed to be bee, butterfly, bird, and small-mammal friendly, is coming along slowly. I had hoped for a big change when Cathy and I got home from 14 days away, but it was disappointing. Facebook Memories was a big help to me this morning,...

Yesterday, June 20th, was World Naked Hiking Day, one of the two big annual events for nudists and naturists. It’s actually held on the Summer Solstice, which is usually June 21st, but this year Solstice is early. The other big nudist/naturist event is World Naked Gardening Day, but it’s...

This is the 11th and final post from our Alaska cruise and Sunshine Coast road trip. On June 13th, we were in no hurry to leave Sechelt, where the Davis Bay Pier offered great views of passing boats, and the crystal-clear waters made me want to wade in. We...

It’s now the evening of June 22, but I’m continuing to back-date the posts about our cruise-based trip as if I had posted them as we were travelling, which I was unable to do. This post covers June 11th and 12th, and the final one will be about the...

After the marathon day previous, Cathy and I were looking forward to a relaxing day on June 10th. It was only 187 km total to our destination, a historic hotel in Powell River, with most of the route new to Cathy. And having two ferry rides would be fun...

The expected storm hit overnight while we were docked at Whittier, and the morning of June 10, the 10th day of our trip, was truly ugly. The next two photos were shot at 06:05. We weren’t looking forward to going out there, though the walk out in the wind...
