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

Two weeks before we were to depart on our 2026 adventure, we decided to take one last hurrah out to one of our favourite boondocking sites. About 2.5 hours from home, a truck – a simple passenger truck passed us on the highway. We heard a loud sound as he passed, kind of like Velcro,… Read more

Welcome to Travellers on the Backroads. We are Eric and Susan – and our two four-legged travel companions, Harley and Ryder. We’re setting off from Comox on a 42-day adventure to Tuktoyaktuk and back, travelling through the backroads, taking in the scenery, and making memories along the way. Tuktoyaktuk may be our goal, but a… Read more
