Tatchun Lake
We decide to break our trip to Whitehorse by stopping the night at Tatchun Lake, this is the very first campsite we stayed in on our maiden voyage to the Yukon in 2009. After our regular start to the morning in Dawson City we fill up. Big Bertha is a…
Dawson City
We leave after our usual breakfast of granola, BC blueberries, strawberries, banana, coconut yogurt, hazelnuts, walnuts and a little warm milk- yum breakfast of champions to last the day! It is a short ride to Dawson City, established during the Klondike Gold rush days starting 1898. It drove the stampeders…
Last Day in Tombstone
Our last day in the park is meant to be sunny. As the sun sets we get a sprinkling of snow at the campground and a cold wind kicks up but we are quite toasty in Big Bertha. André happens to wake up at 1.30am and looks out the window…

Exploring Vancouver
Even though the day starts with a steady , gentle drizzle this is not going to stop our explore of the inner suburbs of Vancouver. We have a couple of chores to knock off, André forgot his cap so we head off to Mt Pleasant where there is a cluster…
A new bear adventure begins
This has been a trip planned since before COVID hit the world and has been postponed three years in a row. That being said here we are in Vancouver in a cute little Air B&B with autumn colours starting to set in. Lucky for us the day starts with a…
