We didn’t drive far at all today. Maybe 150ish km in total. Before you get to Whitehorse, there is a historical site that is very famous that we couldn’t miss seeing – Miles Canyon. Miles Canyon is a narrow basalt gorge on the Yukon River just south of Whitehorse. During the Gold Rush (1896-1899), it… Read more

One thing about The Cabin (van) is that we sleep amazingly well. Not just Eric and I, but the dogs as well. Last night was no exception. I slept until almost 10:00am! Needless to say, after a leisurely breakfast, it was a bit of a later start. We left our little oasis on the banks… Read more

As each day goes by, the landscape changes and becomes a bit more ‘rugged’. The forest is more dense, and the mountains are massively magical. The stretch of road we were on was not a busy road at all. Primarily RVs, and Freight trucks now and then. I tell you – some of the sizes… Read more

We started travelling a bit later this morning. Although we’re all organized, the weather is apparently going to change. So I decided to pre-cook a few things so that we can just heat up dinner in the cabin should it be too chilly. When we left camp near Terrace, the temperature was 23 degrees. That… Read more

We woke to being socked in with fog in Morse Inlet where we were camping. The fog was thick, and then it rolled out some – then back in. Made for some striking photos. It didn’t fully burn off until about noon. Wildlife advisory: We saw what we think was a seal playing in the… Read more

The weather has been really amazing so far, but you can feel the difference in temperature each day we go further north. Today we made it as far as Prince Rupert. We’re just on ‘this side’ of Rupert, so we haven’t gone into the city yet. Driving along Highway 16 is so incredibly beautiful. It’s… Read more

A very low-key day. We left Prince George and headed towards Smithers. The land has been really lush the last few hundred kilometers. It felt a bit strange when camp neighbours started a fire for the evening given the climate of the fire hazard and water restrictions at home. It’s just not that dry up… Read more

We woke to a fresh morning. Just a bit of rain fell through the night to calm the dust. We got ourselves together and headed into Prince George to run a few errands. As we get further north, we want to ensure we have all the needs (and maybe some wants), so I did a… Read more

Today we left Williams Lake and headed towards Prince George. We’ve decided that the area is so lovely that We’ll come explore PG south as a trip on its own. When we left, we backtracked a wee bit to Lac la Hache to find another little place we saw someone rave about. The truth is,… Read more

Travelling like we are – in the Cabin is pretty easy. A whole lot of thought went into planning for as many ‘what ifs’ as one can. Eric planned and prepped for months for all the goodies on the outside of the Van. I deal with the inside of the Van. We’ve got it down… Read more
