We continued our journey after we naturally awaken when we feel rested. I love that we were not on a time schedule per se. No alarms, no real agenda. A little further from our camp site, around mile post 433, is Sheep Creek, but not the best for a truck and trailer set up. After…
Jeff could not sleep much in Dawson City, so he went for a walk at 3:20 AM with the dogs, once the thunder storm and heavy down poor had eased. Penny is super frightened over thunder so she was happy to get out there and walk. We were glad that we had rented two camp…
We left Fox Lake around 8:30AM and got gas in Carmacks at $2.09 but had some wi-fi to get our phone fix in! Once we left, along the way we stopped to let the dogs out, and I saw a cool sports car in the corner of my eye, with a big number on it,…
Early morning, I went for a walk with the dogs, and the beautiful lake was super calm. Not many campers were up yet, and I just loved this peace and quiet. A beaver was having a great swim across the lake. Penny spotted it, but didn’t react to it. Just watched it. Baru was busy…
We left Valleyview around 7AM the next day. Gas was $1.44 in Grand Prairie where we went for breakfast the next morning. Cora Breakfast & Lunch there had amazing breakfast! Some original choices too! I had never heard of this chain, but apparently there are 125 location across the Canada – their branding showed that…
Our journey up north had begun. Jeff and I were attempting the Dempster Highway with hopes of reaching the distant Tuktoyaktuk. I hadn’t heard of it until Jeff mentioned it during our travels two years prior, when we explored the Top Of The World Highway in the midst of the Covid era. We set out…
Today is Jeff’s birthday. We wake up to a beautiful clear sky and of course I wake Jeff with a Happy Birthday kiss and a big smile and head outside to make him coffee! Penny looks at me like she wants to just go back to sleep. Her “perch” is on the front seat, so…
Leaving Kanab with a smile, even though it was still early, we kept going to drive to Page, Arizona, where I would finally meet beautiful Antilope Canyon. My tour was scheduled for 3.30PM and we wanted to be very early to make sure I would bring the right photography gear. We drove for about an…
If you get to Kanab in Utah, make sure you grab a delicious coffee at Willow Canyon Outdoor. A wonderful coffee shop hidden in a store filled with great outdoorsy things, like head lamps, maps and books! We weren’t quite awake at that hour, since we’d been driving for over 12 hours, so I do…
Day 1 of our road trip. We are excited, and packed up! Jeff has a great system in place and everything is carefully tied to the roof of his very functional Toyota 4Runner. We camp in our town on a regular basis in his vehicle, and we are used to the comfort it provides over…
