Welcome to Fairbanks, Alaska
I find myself in the heart of Fairbanks at an RV resort on the Chena River. I’d love to say I’ve loaded up on pictures but the weather has been a bit less than pleasant. How did I get here Let me step back and explain how I got here. The drive up from Haines,…

Rockin it from Dezadesha Lake Park
Traveling as I am, you must always read reviews of stops and destinations so you have a clear understanding as to what you should expect. Of course you need to read between the lines and weed out the chronic complainers, but you should take something from each post. I had to make a one night…

Travel Nightmares
Long distance travel can sometimes lead to some big letdowns that can ruin an entire vacation, or in my case, a journey. The good news is that I planned, and replanned for any possible problems that could come my way. The other good news is the problems weren’t exactly mine but I did end up…

To the Dempster, I bid you adieu…
After 14 days on the Dempster Highway I guess it’s time to move on. For the last few days I’ve been making my way south, slowly. Not only because the roads were rough and slippery due to recent rains, but also as a result of my sadness, my want not to leave. I will never…

From the land of sky blue waters…
More on this in a minute… Travel day I made an early start Sunday morning out of Tuk. I had a mental destination I wanted to hit and it was about an 8+ hour drive on really bad road conditions. I had the moose flies on my mind and did not want to spend another…

I’m pushing a weather window
I’ve had my eye on the weather at my northern destination and it hasn’t been looking good for next week. I had planned to meander about for a few days on the Dempster highway making my way to the final stretch sometime next week. I don’t think so….My hopes are to land a campsite on…

Moving in slo-mo….
I only made it 37 miles…. Almost Heaven, Northwest Territories?? It was old Henry Deutschendorf, Jr. (John Denver) that made the song Take Me Home, Country Roads famous. Guess I’ll put my spin on it and say take me to the Yukon and Northwest Territories. It took 3 1/2 hours to go that 37 miles,…

Is your bar set high enough?
No, no….I don’t mean that bar….I’m sitting here having a whiskey thinking about a bar but congratulating myself on an achievement that many would say is crazy, dumb, doesn’t make financial sense. What I really mean is the bar that we all set internally within our brain that guides what we consider success. I believe…

Roughing it in style
Hello again, this time from a remote campsite in the Yukon Territories. I’ve put some long miles on in the last few days, and with yesterday’s weather being cold and rainy I decided to find a remote, or dispersed campsite for a few days. Dispersed means free…I like the sound of free at this point…
