Monday (7/10) was cloudy and rainy all day. We drove south from Wasilla, and straight through Anchorage. We will be back in this area later in the trip, so we didn’t spend any time there. Anchorage doesn’t look too exciting, anyway. But, maybe the clouds and rain gave us the wrong impression. We headed south […]

Friday (7/7) we enjoyed a leisurely morning at our campsite in the Teklanika River Campground. We took our time slowly driving out of Denali National Park, marveling at the beauty. We saw a family of about a dozen partridges cross the road in front of our car (unfortunately none of the photos turned out). We

Tuesday (7/4) we traveled from Fairbanks to Nenana, AK. We did not have a chance to celebrate the fourth of July holiday in a traditional way. The sun set at 12:33 AM followed by a sunrise at 3:23 AM. I woke up at about 2AM the other night and noticed our solar panels were generating

The rain and clouds disappeared on Sunday morning (7/2) and revealed perfectly blue skies and lots of mountains. We left Tok, AK for the final leg of the Alaska Highway. The views were stunning. We kept asking ourselves “Are we really in Alaska?” Then, we looked outside to see these spectacular mountain views, and we
We left Haines Junction, YT on Friday morning (6/30) and headed north on the Alaska Highway. About an hour up the road, we stopped to admire the jade colored water of the massive Kluane Lake. We planned to go on a nearby hike, but instead I had a mishap at the Slim River Visitor Center.

Wednesday (6/28) was a travel day. We left Watson Lake in the morning and headed further along the Alaska Highway. The weather was warm, so we opted to stay where we could get electricity and run our A/C rather than finding a nicer, but more primitive campground. We drove to Teslin and stopped for the
Monday (6/26) was another great weather day as we awoke at Strawberry Flats campground. Lucy and I went for one last walk along the Muncho Lake shoreline. “Muncho” in the Kaska language means “big lake”, an apt name given it’s 7.5 miles length (one of the largest natural lakes in the Canadian Rockies). Lucy wants

After traveling 3,000 miles during the first two weeks, we slowed down and only moved 150 miles in three days (Fri/Sat/Sun – 6/23-6/25). We wanted to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Northern British Columbia and relax a bit. We left our beautiful campsite at Summit Lake on Saturday morning (6/24) as low clouds and some

We left our campsite in Taylor near the Peace River Bridge on Thursday morning (6/22) and headed North on Highway 97 to Fort St. John. We immediately ran into wildfire smoke. We were lucky to have camped in Taylor, where the air was clear. We found a nice off leash dog park in Fort St.

After enduring two days of historic rain and snow from a storm that made national news, we left the Jasper / Hinton area on Tuesday morning (6/20). We were able to see mountains again! We thoroughly enjoyed the views as we drove up Highway 40 from Hinton to Grand Prairie, AB. The recent snowfall highlighted the
