This was my third annual visit to Farwell Canyon with the RV, after a high school friend bringing me here in 2015. The more I see of the area, the more captivated I am by it. The stark, spectacular beauty of Farwell Canyon, and the history of the Pothole...

Although I had planned to get some work done on the RV in Dawson Creek on Saturday, April 28th (Day 3 of the trip), that didn’t work out. As a result, I was away early, with no real schedule for the day. I’d just see what was happening along...

My plan for RV Season 2018 had been to leave Whitehorse on April 20th. That didn’t happen, though – I caught a nasty cold that Cathy had, and I wasn’t well enough to hit the road until Thursday, April 26th. And that was a stretch. As I begin writing...

I had planned on being on the road 2 days ago, but Cathy passed on her nasty cold to me, and I’ve spent much of the past 3 days in bed instead. As I write this, I’m still far from feeling well, and although I’m hoping that I can...

I’ve been so busy for the past many weeks that I’ve hardly been out exploring at all. Yesterday, though, a friend and I drove out to Kluane Lake, and it was superb – an absolute 10/10 day. Though very cold, there wasn’t a cloud in the sky, we got...

After hardly taking any pictures for many weeks, I’ve been trying hard to make up for lost time lately. Whoops, Cathy says that house renovations are NOT “lost time”! 🙂 Since buying a lens specifically for photographing the aurora borealis last November, I haven’t yet had a good night...

I had planned to drive to Skagway on Monday, but a heavy snowfall on Monday night resulted in the South Klondike Highway being closed for avalanche control between Skagway and the summit. Early on Tuesday, though, I headed south. The glorious colours of the sunrise on the peaks of...

Getting into old newspapers has once again sent me on a long wandering path. This time it was a path in the midnight sun, one of the things I love the most about the North. This little journey began when I stumbled across an ad for Alaskan Airways’ Midnight...

It’s been almost 2 months since I last posted here. That’s one of my longest absences ever, but as my long-time readers probably know, it’s not because there’s nothing going on. It’s actually just the opposite – my life is so crazy that I hardly know which way is...

A post a couple of days ago in one of the history groups I belong to was a query about a C-47 / DC-3 crash that I hadn’t heard about. The thought was that it is in the Richardson Mountains along the Yukon’s Arctic Coast. The query was prompted...
