Kleanza Creek Provincial Park

The rushing water right behind our campsite tonight is a pleasant change from the sound of rain which pelted on our tent all last night.  Although we drove through rain for most of the morning it has now stopped though … Continue reading

Meziadin Lake Campground

This is a first tonight. We are in a provincial park that has wireless Internet access, and it actually seems to be quite a bit better than what we had in Stewart. I suppose that service will continue to improve … Continue reading

Stewart, BC and Hyder, Alaska

Boya Lake Provincial Park

Tonight we are back into British Columbia after travelling south along the Cassiar Highway.  It was cold last night, but sometime after midnight it began to cloud over, and then the temperature stabilized, and didn’t go below freezing.  Fortunately it … Continue reading

Skagway

Donnelly Creek on the Delta River

Two flats today, but only one of them was ours.  More on that later.  It was very cold in the night, and the inside of the fly was covered with frost when we awoke.  Even after it had hung in … Continue reading

Denali National Park
