You can now see the video I put together on Rachel’s latest livestream! The montage starts at 6:59, linked in the show notes. Another … More Vancouver 2023 – Fibers West Friday

My travelogue of our RV vacation is coming to a close. In this last post, I’ll take you on our return drive through the prairies. Because of some scheduling changes, we ended up canceling visits to two other national parks, but our new route cut diagonally right through Saskatchewan. It took only a very small … More RV’22.12 Battleford, Brandon, and Winnipeg

We visited my friend Kelly, met her husband and held … More RV’22.11: Qiviut Inc.

Most of our time in Jasper was about spending time doing ordinary things against an extraordinary backdrop. Going to the playground with … More RV’22.9 Jasper with Nature

On our last full day in Banff National Park, we tried one last time to climb a mountain. After our frustrations on Sulphur Mountain, we reassessed and dialed way back. This is Tunnel Mountain, the lowest feature in the Rockies to be called a mountain. We didn’t even start at the bottom, but parked at … More RV’22.7 Banff and the Icefields
