  • Yukon Territories Again

    I entered Yukon again a couple of miles after I started.  Down the road to the river where a new bridge is being built next to the existing one.  I had cell service for the first time in a day and a half.  I fueled up at one of the gas stations in Teslin and…

  • Route 37 North Day 2

    It started raining shortly after leaving Lower Gnat Lake.  The weather was switching between rain, drizzle, sunshine, and rain.  Sometime later, snowflakes hit the windshield and the wipers cleared them away.  I was surprised, but the temperature had dropped in the high 30s so it was possible.  I went through a large area where a…

  • Route 37 North Day 1

    After breakfast, I prepared the fifth wheel to travel.  That’s when I noticed that the Alaska Highway was reopening today.  It was closed several weeks ago because of wildfires.  The town of Fort Nelson was evacuated because the fire was within one mile of the town.  Heading west on 16, the scenery was stunning.  The…

    After breakfast, I hiked around the lake and enjoyed the beautiful scenery.  Talked with the couple I met coming into the park.  They lived in Alaska for over 20 years while he was in the Army.  They were going up to visit friends and enjoy the summer.  They now live close to Yosemite National Part…

    After breakfast the next morning (Saturday), I sent an email to the company that I purchased the system from and called and left a voicemail.  The company I purchased the system has been super about answering questions and helping me get the solar system installed and working.  I was still disappointed but settled in for…

  • Tyhee Lake Provincial Park Day 1

    I decided to stay at Tyhee Lake Provincial Park for the second night (Friday) in Canada.  I couldn’t get online to make a reservation so I called the number but the call would not go through.  I pulled into the park and stopped at the board to see if I could determine how to get…

  • Crossing the Border

    It was a great day.  I got up, had breakfast and coffee.  I headed up the road following the GPS directions to the border crossing at Sumas Washington.  I stopped to fill the propane tanks at the Tractor Supply store, then topped the fuel tank with diesel before heading for the border.  I crossed over…

  • Observations on the roads in Canada

    There were many times I wanted to pull over and get a picture of the beauty of the area.  Unfortunately, the roads were unconducive to doing that.  This is definitely not a criticism, because when I think of all the money saved, it has to be in the millions and millions of dollars.  The berm…
