On the road

After the night in the Wally World parking lot we headed down to Silver Creek, WA and stayed at the Harmony Lakeside RV Park. We picked this location because it was situated about halfway between Mount St. Helens and Mount Reiner and we thought that we could do some hiking Read more

Now that we are back in the lower 48 states, I thought that it would be interesting to summarize the types and amounts of wild animals that we saw going through Canada, into Alaska and then back into Canada again. I’ll also add some pictures to add some color (literally). Read more

We got down to the Black Ball Ferry a little over two hours early. US Border Control needed us there 1.5 hours ahead of time. No problem with gaining access to the ferry as our passports were valid. It was very scary loading onto the ferry through the side door: Read more

We left Whistler (which we loved) and headed down the hills towards Vancouver. We decided not to hook up the truck for the drive down to sea level based on our previous trip. We were probably being over cautious, but better safe than sorry. Beautiful landscapes along the way, especially Read more

Well someone turned the wildlife spigot off, haven’t seen an animal at all along the way, unless you want to count a mother duck with four goslings trying to cross the street. Bear was watching all day as well and he didn’t see anything either: Did get some pictures of Read more

We left the Continental Divide and continued to head south without a real destination in mind. It was an interesting drive and I’m glad that we had given ourselves time to meander. First off we drove to Nugget City (really not a city) on the ALCAN heading to the Cassiar Read more

On July 12th, our traveling dog Bear, turned seven. He has been on the road with us for six and a half years – basically his whole life! He loves traveling especially when he gets to go on hikes, have fun in the water, play, go out for food with Read more

We had hoped that Jeff and Molli were going to catch up with us in Tok, but they decided to push onward. We were both anxious to get back down south to civilization. We left Tok and drove down the Alaskan Highway until we got past the town of Teslin Read more
