When we left our last campsite in Watson Lake, Yukon, we were leaking waste water at a little dribble, but it was a leak for sure. Lucky for us the leak was “grey” water, from our shower and kitchen sink, and not “black” water from the toilet. That would have stopped us in our tracks, […]

Sign Post Forest & Hope for Goop
In the town of Watson Lake, Yukon, there are about 80,000 homemade (and stolen) signs nailed up on tall posts by tourists. The phenomenon was begun in the 1940s by a homesick soldier, and now it’s a ritual to leave your own sign here. Tracy started making ours last winter when we camped on the […]
Flower Springs Lake
Lotsa photos! I’ve been stymied by broken eye glasses, a lost camera lens cap, and so many bear sightings that we have to keep Banjo close, but I’ve still managed to take too many pictures. Prophet River Wayside Provincial Park We’re still heading north up the Alaska Highway slowly, enjoying each stop. The provincial park […]
Inching Our Way Up the Alaska Highway
We’ve been enjoying our trip north from Edmonton so much that our progress to Alaska has been sloooow. Doug and Melanie are ahead of us such that we missed our first scheduled rendezvous-vous, and we might miss the second! What have we been up to? Bird Capitol of Alberta We spent a mere single delightful […]
Leaving the Bath at Sleeping Buffalo
I feel silly posting again from Nelson Reservoir in northern Montana, because we were there for only a few days and we’re headed into Canada where I’ll have tons of photos I’ll want to save here. Still, what a beautiful spot we were in. Banjo got to be outside all day long every day, lying […]
Nature Bathing at Sleeping Buffalo
We’re in northern Montana, having driven the Hi-Line (US Highway 2) west from Ironwood, Wisconsin, through Minnesota and North Dakota, until we hit this water reclamation area near the tiny town of Sleeping Buffalo. Man did Tracy’s boondocking skills pay off here. We all three sighed in relief when we drove down the dirt road […]
Update on that Wind and Water Business
This is the screenshot I sent Melanie and Doug last night while Tracy and I were driving east through the top of Missouri. I thought we were headed to that red star just out of the severe weather zones, but I wasn’t quite sure. You see, Tracy was blaring The Von Bondie on the truck […]
Lazy Beach Bums
I feel like I should post this last time about camping on the beach near Galveston, but I haven’t done anything worth posting about. I hardly have photos. No stories. No local dialogue. The laziness upon us is like a drug. We don’t have to pack a bag for the beach; we just step outside. […]
Beach Camping!
I’ve been watching this style of iconic video for so long, and finally I get to make my version. Okay, so my beach isn’t pristine (and neither is the interior of the trailer), but … we’re BEACH CAMPING! Finally. For ages I’ve seen RVers post about camping right on the beach, and we’ve driven by […]
Regrouping, from the Heart of the North Saddle Club
I hate to say where we are: it’s a secret, wonderful, not-even-online camping spot, and I don’t want anyone to know about it. I will tell you, though, of course. But, first, I want to catch up since I last posted a week ago. Lovely North Shore, Minnesota Last chapter, Dear Readers (I crack myself […]
