I had a mixed experience today… It started great. I deeply enjoyed wandering the dirt streets with wooden sidewalks and seeing a mix of the truly original buildings and those that are original but restored. The truly original buildings tend to be lopsided because they were built directly on the permafrost, this leads to a…

Dawson City!
I am so excited I feel as if I will burst with it. I made it! What’s funny is that the gold rush doesn’t interest me all that much, maybe it’s a bit of been there, done that being from California. Even so, just being here fills me with excitement. I haven’t really seen much…
Just when you think it can’t possibly get better…
Have you ever ridden a roller coaster where you have the first big thrill section and think, “Wow! That was awesome!” And you just assume that the ride is going to be over because that was so great, and then you realize, “Wait, there’s more?” And the ride just keeps going and going. That’s how…
Act my age? Never. Feel my age? Sometimes. (Part 2: Banff, Jasper, and the Icefields Parkway)
Link to the old/original blog post. After the Via Ferrata – we were both pretty tired and sore, and we kept saying we would take an easy day to recover…but then there was just too much to see and do! Every day we said, “tomorrow, tomorrow we will take it easy” but we never did. …
Act my age? Never. Feel my age? Sometimes.(Part 1)
Link to the original/old blog post. It has been a wonderful, busy, tiring, exhilarating, thrilling, exhausting week. So much has happened since my last post I can’t possibly do it justice, but I can try! So the day after my super funtastic day in Revelstoke, I drove through Golden to the Radium Hot springs in…
A Lovely Older Couple, Some Perspective, and Van Coffee on the Balcony
Here’s a link to the original post on my old blog: Original Post When I first arrived at Harrison Hot Springs, I was feeling pretty punchy from a long day of driving but I was clinging to the fantasy of staying at the resort and soaking in the springs. It didn’t disappoint! First I was…
Super FUNtastic day!
Wow, today was the most fun I’ve had in a while. It started out a little meh because most of the main road in Revelstoke National Park is still closed due to snow. I drove up until the road was blocked and they had a big turnaround post. Some people were parking and then walking…
Chuckanut, Chilliwack…Is today Tuesday?
Here’s a link to the original post on my old blog: Original Post If you count my last day of work (Friday 6/10/22) as my first road trip day, then this is 6 am on day 5 of my soon-to-be-epic road trip to Alaska in Rosie. Have you met Rosie? She’s my 2017 Nissan NV…
“Camino” day 14: last non-travel day in Spain, no walking today
I lazed around this morning for an embarrassing amount of time. Then I went and explored Comillas, I was especially excited about the Gaudi building. I love the insanity of Gaudi, his name is where gaudy comes from 🤣, and his major works clearly explain the connection. But, it’s why I love his stuff…it is…
Camino Day 13: at the risk of being redundant, another LOVELY day
Part 1: I am currently mid-walk enjoying a nice break on a park bench, listening to the bells on the flock of sheep grazing nearby. Today’s walk so far: A nice walk down through Cobreces and time to snap a few pictures of the beautiful historic buildings. Then, after about a mile, I came to…
