This post was originally written for Destination BC. When their blog was closed, I re-posted it here under the same date. It’s an introduction to the White Pass rather than my usual reports on a specific trip. In the furthest northwest corner of BC is an area of spectacular...

Our second night boondocking in the White Pass with the RV was once again warm and silent, and I kept the bedroom windows open to enjoy both. The dogs got their first walk just before 06:00 on Sunday, and the light was beautiful. It looked like t was going...

Cathy is in Ontario visiting her family for a couple of weeks, and I’m going to be on the road in the RV for much of that time. I’d thought about a few destinations, but my head just isn’t into anything lengthy or complicated right now, so I decided...

On Friday morning, Cathy went to work while I went into town to buy a few things to re-stock the RV, then drove 90 km down the Alaska Highway to Squanga Lake Campground at Km 1315.9. Squanga Lake Campground gets little use by tourists, perhaps because when they’re this...

As slow-paced and relaxing as this trip was, there’s never enough time. After a leisurely morning and lunch at Tombstone Mountain Campground on Monday, we started the 113 kilometer (70 mile) drive to Dawson City just before 1:00. We stopped for a photo at the Welcome to Dawson sign,...

On Monday, our final day at Tombstone Mountain Campground, we were in no hurry to leave, so walked over to the Tombstone Park Interpretive Centre for a look. The $2 million centre was opened on August 28, 2009, by Premier Dennis Fentie, Environment Minister Elaine Taylor and Klondike MLA...

Most people who drive up the Dempster Highway only go as far as the Tombstone Range viewpoint at Km 74, not realizing that the best part of the highway starts just a few miles beyond that. On Sunday, we took the Tracker up to Chapman Lake at Km 116,...

I ended my last post at the Dempster Junction fuel stop late Saturday afternoon. Cathy and I had been looking forward to getting back on the Dempster Highway for a long time, and Tombstone Campground at Km 71.7 was our planned home for the next two nights. At 4:40...

We’ve just returned home from 9 days on the roads of the Yukon with the RV – our longest trip with it yet. I had little Internet access during that time (and didn’t do any blog writing in any case), so I’m playing catch-up now. Part 1 of the...
