Ogre Canyon is a place that I’ve thought about many times since my son first took Cathy and I to see it in September 2015. After that first visit, I posted “No photo or words can do justice to that sight – powerful, awesome, a spiritual experience…”. On Day...

The plan for my first full day in Hinton – Day 48 of the trip, Tuesday, June 12th – was to find the Brule Sand Dunes and to re-visit Ogre Canyon, which my son had taken Cathy and I to a few years ago. Things didn’t go as well...

After 3 days boondocking along Abraham Lake, I moved north to Hinton on Day 47 of the trip – Monday, June 11th. With the load of fresh snow that got dropped on Sunday, Highway 11 and the Icefields Parkway had the potential to be spectacular – well, even more...

I did a two-part visit to the historic coal-mining town of Nordegg. The first was a quick look on Day 44 of the trip – Friday, June 8th – then I returned the next day to do the Upper Mine Tour at the Brazeau Collieries. I had my first...

The first day of our 3-week wander back to Whitehorse was Day 43 of the trip – Thursday, June 7th. Rocky Mountain House was the day’s destination, and I wanted to have a good look at both the community and the historic fur trading posts site. I love the...

Day 42 of my RV trip – Wednesday, May 6th – was our last full day in Cochrane and Airdrie. The next day, I had an appointment to get a repair done on the Tracker and then we began Part 3 of the trip – a 3-week wander back...

We arrived at the Bow Riversedge Campground in Cochrane on Day 34 of our RV trip – Tuesday, 29th. I had reserved 6 nights there, but things got so busy that I added one more night, then added another two. After having wonderful weather for almost the entire trip...

The next two posts are going to cover a broad period and will catch me up. This one is short because we didn’t see much that is likely to be interesting to my readers, and the next one because that week was almost all family time. On Days 33...
