We’re moving!
Not physically moving, just shuffling around things online. Been a long time since the last post. And a new blogsite. And Nora-dog has joined the party. I can’t say exactly why I stopped blogging. Mostly, I suppose, because it took … Continue reading

There are strange things done in the midnight sun
Dateline: Dawson City Before I forget, here’s the critter count for the last few days: 6 moose. That’s #6 pictured. “I’m not a number! I’m a free moose!” Sorry, couldn’t resist. A quajillion BFRs (snowshoe hares). Those … Continue reading

Litter Barrel Ahead
Dateline: Whitehorse [Editor’s note: This picture expressed our writer’s attitude to a tee, so our hard-working staff have slipped it in for him.] No picture today. I’m pooped and slacking. The drive today was a little shorter and jaw-dropping gorgeous, … Continue reading

And One To Rule Them All
Dateline: Watson Lake If you look in the guidebooks, there are 2 or 3 RV parks in Watson Lake. Which is true. What is also true is that Watson Lake is home to one enterprising Scot from Columbia. He owns … Continue reading

I Can’t Complain But Sometimes I Still Do
Dateline: Saskatoon Well, kiddies, we’re not even halfway to Alaska yet and I’m a zombie. Partly because it is simply a long, long way from Madison to Fairbanks. And partly because playing tourist in northern Canada outside of the holiday … Continue reading

Into The Wild Blue Yonder
Dateline: Minnesota Mayo and I have rolled out from Madison and onwards towards Canada and Alaska. For the first day, we did an easy hop, figuring that the morning would be frantic and we’d get a late start. The Winnii … Continue reading

Loop de loop
On the road again. This time, in a new toy. A 1993 21′ Winnebago Warrior, aka a “minnie winnie”. We just got back from a loop around Lake Michigan, where the RV was given the opportunity to display its comforts … Continue reading

Home again, home again, jiggedy jig.
Back at the ranch, between snowstorms. Been spending the last few days being a hermit. Reading, watching stupid daytime TV, and generally ignoring the outside world. Glorious. Also appreciating the savory feeling of knowing where my bed for the night … Continue reading

Rolling Craps In Vegas
