Au Revoir Paris
We had a bit of a late start this morning. We spent last night on BC time, wide awake when we should have been sleeping. It feels good to be out in the country, though EuroVelo 3 isn’t fully developed yet. One section of the trail was closed, and we had to push our bikes… Continue reading

Paris
We left our truck at Kurt’s in Kerrisdale and rode our bikes the short and easy half-hour ride to YVR. Down hill most of the way, and on either cycle way or good bike lanes. Thanks Vancouver! We’d allowed ourselves 3-1/2 hours to check in with the bikes, but it wasn’t quite enough. The agent… Continue reading

Stray Cat
It’s great to have friends with boats. This summer we received two invitations to do some winter sailing on their boats in Mexico. Our first stop in Mexico was Barra de Navidad to meet up with Barb and Derick on their 38 foot catamaran Stray Cat. The plan was to do a 2 week sail… Continue reading

Back in Whitehorse
The drive from Anchorage to Whitehorse took us over some of the roughest roads we’ve experienced so far. The Tok connector, and the Alaska Highway between Tok and Kluane Lake were a test of an RVs strength, and we were lucky if we could do 70 km an hour on the good sections. We made… Continue reading

Where There’s Fire There’s Smoke!
Fairbanks has been in a haze, and at times a bit hard to breathe due to the forest fires burning in Alaska. The fire hazard is already extreme here. A lightning storm that came through a week ago has caused a chain of fires. It’s time to go south to get out of the worst… Continue reading

The High Road to Fairbanks
After Tombstone we moved on to Dawson City. Time for a bit of civilization after the wild and glorious beauty of the park. Lots of history here. We did a little self guided tour of the town’s old buildings. Amazing after over a hundred years some of the original buildings are still standing. Barely, but… Continue reading

Tombstone Mountain Park
In my heart forever, Tombstone is an amazing place. Boreal forest, and Tundra to perfection. It is somewhere that I can look back on years later in my life, and be wowed. Thanks Donna Wurm for saying it’s a must do if your heading to Dawson City “ you must go to Tombstone”. Foraging forest… Continue reading

Whitehorse
Whitehorse was an interesting stop for 4 days, but it would not stop raining. Not the torrential downpours we’re used to, just mostly a constant drizzle. Despite the rain we managed to find our way to the many attractions in the city. Most interesting was the Beringia Interpretive Center. When you walk in the door… Continue reading

Fort Nelson to Watson Lake
Fort Nelson Triple G Hideaway is the place to be apparently. We stayed two nights here, and saw two waves of RVs sweep through. We arrived to a busy campsite, with RVs pouring in. The next morning it emptied out almost completely, only to have the process repeated that afternoon. The museum next door was… Continue reading

Dawson Creek “Mile 0” of the Alaska Highway
The information centre in Dawson Creek was a great stop. Picking up maps, and flyers comes with friendly faces and lots of help. There is parking for your RV. An art gallery next door to the info centre which has pottery, and local artists creations. Continue reading
