With huge changes coming to Highway 29 in the next few years due to the construction of a massive new power dam, it was important to me to make the fairly lengthy detour to get another look at it. Sunday, September 13th, day 5 of the trip, entailed a...

I always enjoy my time in Dawson Creek, and the more time I spend here, the more I like it. I never feel like I’ve seen all there is to see, and the people are consistently wonderful. Saturday, September 12th, day 4 of the trip, was our day to...

Part of the decision to stop for Thursday night at Summit Lake, thus adding an extra 140 km to Friday’s drive, was that if there’s any part of the Alaska Highway that I’m willing to power through, it’s the 370-km (230-mi) section from Fort Nelson to Fort St. John....

Day 2 of the trip, Thursday, September 10th, was so busy that by the end of it, it took me a while to figure out that it actually had been just one day 🙂 I was going to make 2 or possible even 3 posts about it, but it’s...

I’m posting this from Dawson Creek, day 3 of what will be about a month-long trip. So far, we’ve had good weather, very good Fall colours, and decent wildlife sightings. This will be my route – basically a figure-8 through much of BC, and a bit of the Alberta...

Except for a spectacular May, this was a sad excuse for summer in the Yukon, and now it’s gone. The Whitehorse area typically gets about 262 mm (10.3 inches) of precipitation per year (21.8 mm per month), but this year we got 35 mm in July, and a record...

Day 14 (Friday, August 14th) of our trip saw us drive 375 km (233 mi) from Tok to the Congden Creek Campground on Kluane Lake. MJ and Jim had to drive home the next day to return their rental RV, but Cathy and I stayed to enjoy our favourite...

On Day 12 of the trip, Wednesday, August 12th, we drove 224 km (139 mi) from Denali National Park to Tangle Lakes Campground on the Denali Highway. The next day was a long one, 476 km (296 mi) to Tok via Copper Center. We left Riley Creek Campground just...

On Monday (August 10th), I dog-sat while the rest of the group took a shuttle bus to the Eielson Visitor Center and back. On Tuesday, it was my turn. Cathy and MJ really wanted to see the dog sled demonstration, but other than that, noe of them had any...

After some intensive days, things slowed down enough that I can put 3 days in one blog post, with “only” 24 photos 🙂 On Saturday (August 8th), we drove the 383 km (238 mi) from Seward to Talkeetna, then onSunday, continued on another 245 km (152 mi) to Denali...
