We got up early and made our way to Watson Lake. This was a big push. 7-8 hour drive... with no cellular or internet access! HORROR!!!!! Or, a much needed break from screens. No wonder we had over 230 photos to sift through. Almost immediately after leaving Fort Nelson, we hit road construction. We have …
Well, we woke up next to this guy! Puts our little rig to shame! THIS is how you do Alaska! After we left, we had a long scenic drive from Grande Prairie, AB to Fort Nelson, BC. There is really not a lot... if anything, for 6+ hours. Well, there is a lot, just not …
We left Jasper on a chilly rainy morning. The weather dashed our hopes of getting onto the gondola to the top of one of the mountains for more vistas, but the mountains gave us some fantastic consolation prizes. We stopped back in Hinton, AB for fuel. We realized we had low tire pressure, so asked …
After our recoop day at Rainbow Valley Campground in Edmonton, we decided to draw out our trip through Canada. We still have a deadline to be in Watson Lake, YT on Saturday (due to lack of cell service and interwebs along that leg), but this gives us a week to take our time and enjoy …

We got up early this morning and went in search of internet. After a number of trials and errors, we parked outside a Home Depot and borrowed their WiFi for work. (I paid them back by buying a screw driver a few days later at another location.) From there, we made our way to Moose …
We are a bit behind on posting, but I want to just pop up a quick blip to update... We arrived in Edmonton yesterday after an amazing day at Provincial Dinosaur Park and then Drumheller. Seeing friends here in Edmonton has us all smiles and laughter and then today.... the fires and the smoke hit. …
A full night’s sleep with no interruptions! After a soggy day yesterday, we awoke to clear blue skies that would top out at 65F. Sarah inaugurated the kitchen making breakfast while I monitored the dog and sipped on my tea. We eventually got up the courage to take turns showering in the on-site facilities, which …
Well, this morning started out a little rough. Sarah was awake in bed next to sound asleep Jim when someone decided they wanted to see the inside of our RV without asking. The door opened and the stairs went out, which must have scared them away. Either that or Sarah yelling “Excuse you!” in her …
