I know I said we drove a bad road…
The Cassiar Highway is really a bad road by most accounts. Narrow, poor sight lines around corners, broken pavement, sections of pavement washed out BUT replaced with some dirt and such. The real kicker to these roads north of the 50th parallel are the frost heaves. I know many have seen what I’m talking about… Continue reading I know I said we drove a bad road…
Skagway or Bust
We were pulling down miles not just to make it to our excellent stay at Caribou RV park, but also to stay in Skagway Alaska for several days. Even with the highway being closed by a beaver dam collapse causing a flood to wash the road out. Even after gas stations not having fuel probably… Continue reading Skagway or Bust

Wash out or just a change of plans? Often when you have a destination in mind you have a picture of what it will be like in your head along with how things will work out.

How did you learn to pull a trailer?
I think for most people they learn to pull a trailer in a more or less controlled setting with someone that had done it before. When I think back on my trailer experience, it seems I was rather new at much of it until this past month (week). After high school I pulled a very… Continue reading How did you learn to pull a trailer?
Part of what I think we’re doing here…
This blog might be strange, but maybe that will make it interesting. Heather really is the mastermind here. She has some great ideas for this adventure. What I’m going to try and do is give my point of view on the day. Heck, all 3 of us will. Maybe we’ll look back on this and… Continue reading Part of what I think we’re doing here…
Hello, My Name is: Mike
We’re taking off on this adventure and I figured if you have the gumption to READ about life, I might as well tell you how I got here. I’m mid forties and just left an amazing position in middle management running a small CT and X-Ray/Specials department for a highly successful imaging center. From the… Continue reading Hello, My Name is: Mike
