We had built some flexibility into our itinerary, and that had already become useful, as the days were much shorter than we thought they’d be (that could have something to do with our “early to bed, late to rise” regime) 🙂 We had also re-thought some of our campgrounds,...

Monday, August 3rd, would be one of our longest driving days – 458 km (285 miles) from Tok to Palmer. Our peaceful forested site at the Tundra Lodge & RV Park in Tok was a really nice place to start the day off, made even better by a little...

We got home last night from 17 days touring Alaska in our motorhome, accompanied by Whitehorse friends who rented a motorhome from Fraserway. We drove 3,284 km in the RVs, plus another couple of hundred in the Tracker we towed. Total driving time in the RVs was just under...

For me and my family, Kluane Lake is an amazingly calming place, so last Friday, I got the RV loaded, and when Cathy got off work, I met her at the first rest area north of Whitehorse. In a few minutes, we had her Tracker hooked up to the...

Monday had been a busy and yet very relaxing day, and the plan was for the next couple of days to be similar. We got off to a late start Tuesday morning (July 14 – I’m getting way behind!). Monty slept with me as usual, and Bella and Molly...

I really like motorcycle jackets. Until last year, though, I had to limit myself to only having 2 jackets due to the high cost – one for nice, warm weather and one for our more normal riding conditions here in the Yukon and Alaska. Last Spring, though, I discovered...

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...
