On Day 6, May 1st, I continued exploring the Thompson River and Fraser River Canyons, which had been planned as the main focus of this first week on the road. We spent the previous night at the Gold Pan Provincial Park campground, and I was in no hurry to...

Day 5 of the trip, April 30th, was a busy day. Once I hooked the Tracker back up to the motorhome after exploring Ashcroft, we continued south to Spences Bridge and on to the campground at Gold Pan Provincial Park on the Thompson River. Although I kept going in...

On Day 5, April 30th, we made the transition from Late Winter to Spring, from sleet at Clinton to flowers and leafed-out trees from Cache Creek south. The day began with a hike on the Mount Begbie Lookout trail, described in my last post, and a short detour to...

One of the challenges of writing this blog while I’m travelling is deciding how to divide it. Sometimes one day makes for a good post length, sometimes a couple of days. But there are times when a day has so much going on that a specific event or site...

Day 3, Friday, April 29th, would be a much easier day, with less than 400 km the goal, to a rest area north of Prince George. The sunrise in Dawson Creek was stunning. This was shot at 05:29. It was looking to be another mostly cloudy day, with rainstorms...

My timing was a bit off on my last drive down to Skagway. Three important things that I need to get the RV ready for the big season-opener trip to Vancouver Island weren’t in at the post office yet, so I went back yesterday to get them. The weather...

I had planned a quick trip to Skagway to pick up some stuff at the post office yesterday. It turned out to be a stunningly beautiful day, though, and photography became the primary activity. I rather reluctantly took Cathy’s Jeep so the dogs would be more comfortable – they...

I love bears. Especially grizzly bears – I feel that Grizzly Bear is my spirit animal. A news report saying that 2 black bears have already been spotted near Haines Junction prompted me to pull up my wildlife photos file last night. I thought that I might be able...

For a couple of days this week, my focus was on helping YARN (the Yukon Animal Rescue Network) in Watson Lake get some supplies. My bonuses were seeing lots of caribou, and getting to snuggle with a litter of 7-week-old rescue puppies. On Monday, I made 4 stops around...
