This morning's weather was a pleasant surprise. Although it rained most of the night, we woke to a brisk, clear day, with some clouds obscuring the mountains. We've been very fortunate on this trip. Although we've had our share of weather, for the most part it hasn't adversely affected our plans. We departed our site at 8 am. The Bayside RV park was one of the prettiest parks we've stayed at. It certainly was the best run and the cleanest we've ever seen. The place was immaculate. We began by backtracking up the Richardson Highway, making our first stop just outside of town at the base of the Valdez Glacier. The scenery there was pretty impressive, and the visual of all the gold seekers hauling 1000 lbs of equipment and supplies up this glacier was mind ... read more

Ready and on the road by 7:50 this morning. Beaver Creek was a great stop, especially with "Buckshot Betty's" two driveways down. Will miss Canada as our dollar is so strong there. We had pretty much a 25% discount on everything we purchased. In addition to that it is a beautiful country, and we really enjoyed traveling through it. After passing through the Canadian border there were bunnies everywhere! Not sure why, but I guess the wolves haven't discovered that they're there. The road between the Canadian and US Border crossing continues with the washboard conditions...fun. I am beginning to feel like I am in a covered wagon on the first crossing. Certainly not an area where you want to be putting on your make-up! The "Minnie Winnie" seems to be holding up well. No issues ... read more

After a superb dinner at the Lodge’s restaurant, and a very restful sleep, we woke up to a monsoon going on outside our RV. To say we were disappointed is an understatement, as this next stretch of the Cassier Highway is known as the most scenic. We were hopeful that the weather would clear as we headed north. Ray and John unfortunately had the outside jobs of disconnecting everything and trudging off to get rid of the garbage. The plus side was they didn’t need to clean the windshield of bugs this morning. We decided to see how far up towards the Al-Can (Alaska-Canadian Highway) we could get today, and hopefully find an RV park that had internet. As we drove along, we had glimpses of what was hiding behind the clouds and rain, but did ... read more

Well it was quite a long day. Started from Wildwood Campsite, filled the gas tanks, and were on the road by 8:30. Had a minor mishap leaving the park when Ray did not take a corner wide enough and two dishes went flying out of the cabinet and crashed into a million pieces all over the floor. Luckily it was only two dishes or I would have been sweeping for most of the day! From Wildwood the terrain became very wooded and followed the Fraser River Valley. We soon passed by Mc Leese Lake and a sign that advertised RV sites with boat rentals, and I thought wow we could have had a booze cruise had we stayed there! This highway that we are traveling is the Cariboo highway, although not one caribou was to be ... read more

Let me start off today with something that was brought to my attention. One of our readers indicated that they were only seeing a couple of pictures with each blog. There are usually at least 10 pictures published each day. What you need to do is continue scrolling down after reading the day's blog, and you will see a box labeled "additional pictures".

This turned out to be a much longer day than we anticipated. We awoke in Osburn, ID to a gorgeous morning. Clear skies and warm temperatures were very welcomed. After a quick breakfast we departed at 8:00am and started ... read more
