I don’t often write about negative things. I try to avoid negative things as much as possible, and I don’t like to pass any on. But this is a subject that I’ve been following for many years, has been in my face during my last 2 long road trips...

With the gorgeous days we’ve been having lately, I’m dying to get my huskies into the high country for some hiking. That’s weeks away yet, but yesterday we went to Carcross for some hiking/playing in the dune system and on the beach. We were away from the house well...

To me, “Route 66” has always been a magical term. For anyone who still has a bit of their brain stuck in the 1950s, that road is almost sure to be part of the memory. I’ve driven some small sections of it in California, but seeing the whole route,...

I really like seeing the first cruise ship of the year sail into Skagway. It’s a bit tough logistically to make that happen, but as you’ll see below, there are some wonderful aspects to the trip. The dogs seemed to be somewhat confused about getting breakfast at 03:00, but...

After starting off on the final leg of the drive home yesterday morning, I turned around for some more exploring in Stewart, but was back on the road for real just after 10:00 am. I had no real plans for the day – I might end up sleeping in...

I reached Stewart at 3:00 pm on Easter Sunday. Although very quiet, I was surprised by the amount of activity – I didn’t know that several mines are in exploration, development of production phases. This hoist is moving containers on the trailers, I think to increase axle loadings now...

On Easter Sunday, I had taken advantage of the toast-and-cereal breakfast at the Sunshine Inn, taken this photo from the viewing deck a few feet from my room on the 3rd floor, and checked out by a few minutes after 7:00. With my next destination, Stewart, only 328 km...

On Saturday morning, I got off to a later start than is usual on my road trips but felt great. This was the view from the deck outside my room, #16, at 07:25. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay at the Round-Up Motel again. I had asked the motel owner...

I returned home at midnight Monday from a 4-day drive up from Vancouver, with a U-Haul belonging to a friend who has moved to Whitehorse (I drove her car up in 2 days last October). To make things easy at home for Cathy, I arranged to do this trip...

It’s been over a month now since I’ve posted anything about what’s going on, so here’s a bit of catching up. Our new puppy, Bella, has been the focus of my life the past few weeks. I seldom look at her without smiling – it’s hard to believe what...
