At Meziadin Lake Provincial Park, Cathy and I both felt that we were home – back in the North. It looked and smelled familiar, and we soon decided to stay for a third night. On Day 51 of the trip – Monday, June 13th – we’d drive into Stewart...

Our final few days of the trip had only the vaguest plan of action, and the weather played a big part in the way they played out. Prince Rupert unfortunately got deleted from the itinerary, as did hiking at Smithers, but all in all it worked out well. On...

Day 48 of the trip – Friday, June 10th – was fun, spending a few hours at a Hudson’s Bay Company fur trading fort, and then making a fairly short drive to another lakeide campground. Cottonwood Park on Stuart Lake at Fort St. James was a lovely spot to...

Our route on Day 47 of the trip – Thursday, June 9th – took us west on Highway 16, and after a stop at the Vanderhoof Museum, north on Highway 27 to Fort St. James. When we first bought the motorhome, I envisioned 240 km (150 mi) as a...

On Day 46 – Wednesday, June 8th – we stopped to see BC’s newest Provincial Park, an ancient forest east of Prince George that volunteers have put 14,000 hours into developing. Walking all the trails that have been built among the massive cedars was a powerful experience. This was...

Days 43, 44, and 45 of the trip – Sunday through Tuesday, June 5-7, were quiet time with my son and his family in the Hinton area. We had learned in Kelowna how perfect RVs are for having quality family time together, and that was the plan for much...

It’s only 74 km (46 mi) from Whistlers Campground in Jasper to the Hinton-Jasper KOA Campground, so we had almost another full day to explore around Jasper on Day 42 of the trip – Saturday, June 4th. We wanted another shot at a good experience at Mount Edith Cavell,...

The main adventure for our second full day in Jasper was riding the aerial tramway. Cathy’s not a big fan of getting into the air that way, but did want to see the view so agreed to come with me. This was Day 41 of the trip – Friday,...

Day 40 of the trip – Thursday, June 2nd – was our first full day to explore the Jasper area, and with mixed weather, Maligne Canyon was our first destination. Cathy and I had tried to go there last September, but access was blocked for some reason. In March...

A couple that were on my 2015 Yukon Quest tour have a large collection of cars, trucks, toy cars and other stuff in De Winton, just south of Calgary. I’ve had a standing invitation to come for a visit, and finally made time to do that, on our last...
