We drove 359 miles today. The sky was hazy, reminding us of LA smog. The best part of the day was arriving at our destination, Quesnel, and finding a really good brewery there.

We left the Northern Rockies Lodge at Muncho this morning. The smoke had cleared a bit and we could see the lake before we left. It was still smoky for the rest of the day. We would drive in and out it, but it never really cleared. We stopped for gas and realized we had […]

The radiator reinstall was completed at about 3pm so we decided to get outta town! Big thanks to Bee Jay’s Services for getting us back on the road. We decided to go back on the Alaska Highway rather down the Cassiar as we were doing when the radiator went. Didn’t want to risk another rock […]

Got up this morning at 4 AM and drove 275 miles to Yukon Radiator in Whitehorse. This far north, the dawn lasts a long time. We saw 2 porcupines, a moose, and a caribou. Got there about 8:30 and dropped off the radiator, or as they like to say here- the “rad”. While it was […]

The tow truck driver removed the radiator for us today, so we didn’t have to wait until Friday when the mechanic could do it. Tomorrow morning we’re getting up at 4am to drive it 280 miles to Yukon Radiator in Whitehorse. They said if we get it there first thing in the morning, they’d look […]

Tow truck arrived at 11 am this morning and towed us to the nearest town, Watson Lake on the Alaska Highway. Yes, we’ve been here before on the way up to AK, and we weren’t planning on going back this way, but here we are. Today is a Canadian holiday, Discovery Day, so we weren’t […]

Turned onto the Cassiar Highway at Junction 37 on the Alaska Highway. The first 20 miles or so is an oiled gravel pavement. Not bad but certainly not smooth either. And it’s very hilly with grades to 8 percent. There’s no centerline and no shoulders. Fun! Then the road turned into nice, new, smoooooth pavement. […]

Drove through Whitehorse today but made one stop to fill up on fuel and propane, and of course, a brewery to fill the growler! I even got to drive today! Teslin Lake Stopped for the night in Teslin. Here’s the view from our campsite. We’re about 2 hours drive from the turn off for the […]

Crossed the boarder into Canada today. This is the same route we took on the way up, but we noticed some changes in just the 3 1/2 weeks since we were here before. The road seems better, and while some of that may be due to our getting used to the potholes, Frost heaves, and […]
