From the Blue Cedars Campground in Prince George, the next stop was one I’d been looking forward to since a friend from high school who lives in Williams Lake took me there last Fall. Farwell Canyon had pretty much everything that my perfect RV boondocking site requires. “Boondocking” is...

Saturday was going to be a really easy day. The only solid plan was to have a good look at the Railway & Forestry Museum in Prince George, but I was open to other options as they were presented. The Crooked River Rest Area was empty when we arrived,...

As I write this post on Sunday, May 1st, I’m camped in the wilderness an hour west of Williams Lake, with no cell, no Internet – not even any radio stations. I won’t have Internet access to post this until I reach Bella Coola on Tuesday or Wednesday. It’s...

One of the most highly recommended activities along the Alaska Highway is a dip in the large natural pool at Liard River Hot Springs, and a fairly large percentage of the people who drive the highway seem to heed the advice. But there’s much more to the park, and...

It’s been a busy couple of days in Dawson Creek, and I could easily stay another day. But, Tumbler Ridge beckons, so we’ll be on the road this morning. I mainly want to tell you about the driving route that I created after noticing that there are none for...

As I start writing this, it’s the morning of our third day on the road, and I’m parked along the Alaska Highway in the middle of nowhere south of Fort Nelson, BC. It feels like it’s been longer than that – which I think is a good sign that...

The plan for Saturday had been to go cruising backroads with Dad, but he wasn’t feeling well so I went out for a while looking for the first Spring blossoms. Once I was on the road, I just kept on going, and checked out places to go when we’re...

I’m home now, but I spent 3 days over the past weekend with my Dad in Kelowna. Direct flights on Air North (with a short stop in Vancouver each direction) make the trip extremely easy now. Climbing out over the Yukon River just after our takeoff at 5:10. With...

One of BC’s most remote parks, Tatshenshini-Alsek Provincial Park, is best known for having some of the finest wilderness rafting and kayaking in the world. Established in 1993, the park covers 947,026 hectares (2.3 million acres or 3,656 square miles) and, with adjoining Kluane, Wrangell-St. Elias, and Glacier Bay...
