So I stayed up late last night. 2:00am to be exact. Here’s why. They were a bit difficult to see – I also took these photos from inside the cabin. I could see what seemed like clouds dancing around, with a green hue. So long exposure helps to capture the colours that the eyes can’t… Read more

Rain it did, last night. We slept by the Rock River, and indeed it was a little fuller and rushing a little faster this morning. Given how much mud we accumulated, we managed to keep most of it outside quite well. That is, until Ryder went under the van, brushed some mud on himself (He’s… Read more

It rained some last night; it didn’t seem like too much, but apparently I was mistaken. The Dempster told us different. We’ve read and heard about how dusty the Dempster is, with its blinding dust, and we did get a little bit of that yesterday, but with the rain, it’s a whole different ballgame. We… Read more

We had no real expectations for this trip other than to do something each of us has never done before. When I say that so far it has been an EPIC adventure; it has been that and then some. And we’ve hardly started! Today we embarked on the Dempster Highway. The Dempster Highway officially opened… Read more

We woke to a super sunny, crisp day on the airstrip – by the river. First, I want to share last night’s moon with you. It was so spectacular as it reflected off the Stewart River. You could see it from the ‘bedroom’ window all night. We didn’t have far to drive today, about 130… Read more

One of the great things about travelling as we are is that there are no alarms in the morning or schedules we need to strictly adhere to. It was a chilly night last night, and the morning saw us layering up and turning the heat on when we started driving. It was raining a bit…… Read more

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
