Yesterday was the start of Yukon Quest 2017. It was a long, exciting day, and I’m posting some photos from the hundreds I shot, with few captions. It was a short night and we’ll be off to Skagway and Haines early this morning, so at this point there’s no...

Today was our day for what is the highlight for most if not all of our guests – a day of dog sledding on Lake Laberge with Ned and Jeninne Cathers of Cathers Wilderness Adventures. The temperature was about -24° (-11°F) when we arrived, with a very slight north...

Yesterday was a long day, starting with a tour of Whitehorse at 09:00, and I got home from the Yukon Quest Start Banquet at about 10:00. There’s a lot see to get a good impression of what life in Whitehorse is like, and 4 hours never turns out to...

It’s been 3 weeks since I’ve talked to you, but it’s not because I’ve just been sitting around watching TV and drinking beer. When I wrote back on January 17th, that our puppy-fostering had reached a happy conclusion with everyone having found a forever-home, I was a bit ahead...

When I last talked to you, our family of 4 rescued puppies and their mom had only been with us for a couple of days, and we were all trying to understand how it would all work. We got it figured out, but then 3 more puppies arrived and...

In my last post, I mentioned a new project that you were going to want to see photos of. Although I’m a bit later showing you those photos than I’d expected because they aren’t many free hours left in my life at the moment, here they are. The last...

Being retired is wonderful. I work as hard as I ever did, but I only do things that I enjoy. Well, mostly. Toilets and woodstoves still need cleaning 🙂 I’ve just taken on a big new project that you’re going to want to see photos of. Before that starts...
