Today is laundry day - for real! No Fabreeze needed! We tried a couple different laundromats before settling on one that would work - and had working machines! After we were done with laundry, we stopped at a 50's style drive in (we walked in) and had some lunch. Great burgers and greasy fried mushrooms! …
While we were getting ready, I realized that my clean clothes reserve was getting low. This was our solution to laundry in the short term. Laundry day! We had a visitor outside the rig this morning, which kept Iggy occupied. I love it when his tail wags! Luckily, he did not attempt to eat it …
Another early rise in search of internet. We found some at Destruction Bay, YT - which is a great description of the town. I likened the attendent to Billy Bob Thornton from Sling Blade. We stayed to work anyway. Our next lay over was Beaver Creek for breakfast and fuel - most expensive fuel so …
We were sad to leave Whitehorse, but had our eyes set on Beaver Creek, YT. Not because it is a beautiful town (a little sketchy, actually), but because it was a good travel distance. The weather was cloudy and rainy for the first half of our drive, including our introduction to Haines Junction, YT. The …

Up early and on the road! Black bear and silver fox along the road! Also enjoying breakfast. Into the Yukon! We ALMOST made it throught Canada without damage. It doesn't warrant a windshield replacement, but we got our first chip from a rock kicked up by a passing truck. Clear duct tape for now, chip …
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 …

I am Tethered. Tethered to my phone, to my wi-fi.. to the Winegard, and to my computers. While we are admittedly ‘livin the dream’ and feeling like we are totally the luckiest; our adventuring has some limitations. I am still on a full regular work schedule.. on Minnesota time.. with cutoffs and deadlines.. and employees.. …
