Off the beaten path adventures and musings.
Originally written in August of 2013. Day 22: Kluane National Park – 252 km driven I feel like I didn't do as much today, but maybe that's a good thing seeing as I'm going to be starting the trip home tomorrow. This morning I slept in a little, then paid for another nights stay. After …

Out of the 5 days I spent in Yukon, I only had one sunny day. Here is the journal entry. Day 21: Kluane – 261 km driven Today was great! The weather was terrific, sunny and still decently cool. It was nice to wake up in a bed this morning too. My first order of …

This is the first entry I wrote after seeing Yukon for the first time. Reading these entries evokes so many memories. I can't wait until the someday that I will return... Day 19: Dease Lake to Yukon – 541 km driven So this morning it was spitting rain a bit when I woke up. It …
Of all the experiences I had on my trip, Telegraph Creek is in the top three. More so the road there than the actual place. It was just so different. The terrain and road and abandoned buildings made it feel almost like something from an old movie. I'm pretty sure I was grinning the whole …
Rain days in the middle of nowhere can be a bit boring as there isn't much to see or do. But when on a month long road trip, having a day of rest can be a good thing. So here is my journal entry from a rainy day at Dease Lake. Day 17: Rain Day, …

I was thinking back on my 2013 road trip, and realized that of the stories that have been told, the people I interacted with hardly come up. I do tend to be a bit of a hermit, and you'd think travelling alone would encourage that, but in reality, I interacted with a lot more people …
My morning in Stewart is one of my favourite memories from the trip. Time stood still for that moment and the busyness of the trip disappeared. As with the other road trip 2013 entries, this was originally written in the evening of that day, while the memories were still fresh. Day 16: Stewart to Dease …

Another journal entry from 2013's road trip. Aside from the Yukon, some of my best memories of the trip are from the town of Stewart. My time there was very much a whirlwind, and plagued by rain, but it was well worth it. Day 15: Stewart/Salmon Glacier – 303 km driven What a day! I …

Another journal entry from last year's road trip. My drive to Kitwanga was less interesting than most of the rest of the trip.....but it was important as it was the transition away from the normal tourist attractions. It also marked the halfway point. Day 14: Jasper to Kitwanga - 890 km driven Today was mostly just …
