Farther 2019. Dawson City

With this new chapter of the trip, things have changed a bit and it's a bit harder to put things together into cohesive blog entries, because everything is a bit less focused and more all over the place.  This one is a bit longer, but it's full great stuff. I might as well start where …

Farther 2019. Paddy Peak

My off road adventures have continued on the epic road to Paddy Peak. This is exactly what I was looking for: a crazy road with crazy views. Technically this one is in BC, just a bit below the Yukon Border. The road gets serious quickly. For most, this is a hiking trail, but it is …

Farther 2019. The White Pass Railway

Yesterday I did something a little different. I rode the rails, Klondike style. My Jeep was in the shop getting the front axle seals replaced, so I was going to be without a vehicle for a chunk of time anyway. I arranged for a day trip down to Skagway, Alaska from Whitehorse. A portion of …

Farther 2019. Atlin, BC

I've actually been back in BC for the last couple of nights.  Atlin is an old little town on the shore of Atlin Lake, which is actually quite a large lake, at least for a lake in the mountains.  It's also only accessible from Yukon, and it's pretty much at the end of the road. …

Farther 2019. Mount McIntyre

It just keeps getting better!  I had a spectacular day driving up on Mount Mac.  Initially I was thinking:  another mountain road...I've already driven two of them.  This was well worth it.  Apparently I managed to accidentally save the best for last during my time at Whitehorse. There are two roads up Mount Mac.  The …

Farther 2019. First few days in Yukon

Yukon. I'm back. And it's just as grand as I remembered it. I'll admit, I was slightly worried that I had made it better in my head. I haven't arrived at the big mountains yet, but even the smaller ones are just so wild and majestic. It seemed like an almost instant transformation. I arrived …

Farther 2019. The Road to Telegraph Creek

I finally returned to Telegraph Creek, or more specifically, the road to Telegraph Creek. Six years ago I called it the best gravel road I'd ever been on, and I think that title still stands. It's 112 km of gravelly goodness, winding through the mountains toward the ghost town of Telegraph Creek. (there is also …

Farther 2019. Rain Days on the Cassiar Highway

My drive on the Cassiar Highway through northern BC was wet and foggy. It wasn't an exciting time, but I thought I should write about the bad along with the good. Even the rain makes for interesting pictures and stories. This post is a bit late because northern BC has zero cell phone coverage, and …

Farther 2019. The Salmon Glacier.

I had such an epic day!  I've been imagining this for several years now.  The return to the Salmon Glacier, and exploring the old mining roads beyond.  It's for days like this that I bought a Jeep! I woke up to the sound of rain on the tent.  I'm starting to wonder if it rains …

Farther 2019. Stewart, BC

Stewart, BC. There's a special magic to this place. I struggle to put it in words and I feel like the photos just don't do it justice. I first visited in 2013 and have since considered Stewart to be one of my favorite little towns. Now I've returned 6 years later...and it is almost exactly …

Introducing: Skye, my new Jeep.
It's been a different summer. Due to my Jeep's starting issues I haven't really gone on any road/camping trips. This might end up being the quietest summer I've had since 2007...when I first began adventuring. I do have one trip planned with friends later this month, but otherwise I'm just patiently waiting for my new Jeep to arrive from the factory.(with no idea when that will be)
