Back to the trip. I spent Friday night, my first night in the new motorhome, in the parking lot of the Walmart in Kingman, Arizona, and was up early Saturday, pumped to get to another shopping destination near Flagstaff and then to the Grand Canyon. I couldn’t find any...

Some of you are wondering how Cathy and I ended up with the motorhome we did, and why we bought in Arizona. It was a very long process that saw us assessing every type of RV from tent trailer to diesel Class A over a period of months –...

Friday was the big day, starting a whole new direction in our lives. No more leaving the 3 furry members of our family home, and a whole lot of exploring the North slowly, in great detail. I took a few photos from my 6th-floor room at the Aloft Phoenix...

I’m in a campground at Idaho Falls, Idaho, as I write this, halfway through an Adventure that truly has me overwhelmed. There will probably not be an update until I get home, as I’m speed-touring a 3,200-mile route home with my new motorhome. I’m dying to tell you about...

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...

This post was originally written for the Destination BC Blog, but when it was closed I moved it here, under the original date. Motorcycle enthusiasts around the world know BC as a dream destination for road trips, and high on the list of the best routes to ride is...

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...

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...

On Friday, my long journey home from Arizona to the Yukon began with a 04:00 wakeup call, and a 04:30 shuttle to the airport with a particularly friendly driver. By 05:45 when I shot this photo from the departure lounge at PHX, I was ready to get going, hoping...

Wednesday was planned to be a very exciting, very busy day – confirming purchase of the motorhome, getting a lot of export/import paperwork started, and perhaps even getting the rig packed for the trip back to the Yukon. It didn’t turn out that way, though. The day started early,...
