Days 3/4: Exploring Bryce Canyon, Utah
When I left off yesterday, I’d crossed into Utah at 3:10 pm, headed north on U.S. Route 89. Travel was much slower than I expected due to the many photo ops that kept presenting themselves. But Bryce Canyon, another of my Bucket List destinations, was tonight’s goal. This impressive...

Day 3: Grand Canyon to the Utah border
To tell you about Day 3 requires more than one post – after editing, I have 537 photos in the day’s file. So I’m cutting this one off at the Utah border, which I reached just after 3:00 pm. This was the planned route – seems simple and short...

Summer has finally returned to the Yukon, and yesterday I was dying to get back on my motorcycle. Checking out the recently-reopened Johnson’s Crossing Lodge, 110 km down the Alaska Highway, was as good an excuse as any 🙂 What a superb day to be on 2 wheels. There...

Watching and riding trains around the world
Living in the Yukon, I don’t get many opportunities to see trains other than those of the White Pass & Yukon Route (WP&YR), but they’re one of my favourite subjects when I travel, and I never pass up an opportunity to ride on a new railway. When I started...

A small herd of Mustangs (of the P-51 variety) at Whitehorse
Having three P-51 Mustangs overnight at Whitehorse brought a lot of people out to the airport for a look. They are from the Bremont Horsemen Aerobatic Team, which first took off over a decade ago as the world’s only P-51 Mustang formation aerobatic team, though they fly several other...
