Dawson City, It Hasn’t Changed
Working on it.
Stephen
Rushing to Dawson City, Yukon
We started our journey in Chandler, Arizona where Molly was stored. Next stop Dawson City in Yukon Canada, nearly 3,500 miles or a little more than 5,500 kms away. This is a long way to drive, but we wanted to…
Nordlandsruta
Shirley and I hiked 310 kms of the Nordlandsruta from Katterat to Sulitjelma. The route is located in the far North of Norway, just above the Arctic Circle and along the border between Norway and Sweden. We started in the…
Saga
Spent 12 wet days walking the Saga Route in Norway with two dear friends. Last year I completed the MassIV Route as a solo walker, and so nice to return to this amazing part of the world and sharing it…
Sedona and Phoenix
Our 2024 spring road tour is coming to an end. We returned to Sedona for a quick trip before dropping Molly off at a storage facility in Phoenix.
Overland Expo 2024
We returned to Flagstaff to attend Overland Expo West. A great chance to meet other like-minded people, attend education sessions and see cool new things. Tim, Em and Bec were also there. We even got to see catch-up with friends…
Marble Canyon and White Pocket
Below Vermilion Cliffs National Monument is Mable Canyon. A little stretch of BLM land with amazing views over the Colorado River. It was busy along the cliff edge, but we found a place to camp for the night at the…
Navajo National Monument
From Mexican Hat to Page is Navajo Nation Reservation land, There is no wild camping on the reservation. We visited Monument Valley, but apparently our vehicle was not allowed in the park. Not even for camping. And we were not…
Muley Point and John’s Canyon
We returned to Muley Point for our rendezvous with Tim. He would be joining us for the next 2 weeks and including Overland Expo West. The original plan was to spend time on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon,…
Natural Bridges National Monument
This National Monument is a little gem. River water undercuts the rock forming a natural bridge. Stephen went for a hike along the river bed and visited Kachina, Owachomo, and Sipapu (the largest), which are all Hopi names. Caroline visited…
Back to Colorado
It was time to head back to see Alison and Gary and get our damaged windscreen repaired. We also continued to debug the 12 volt power supply for the Starlink, and almost established that it was an issue with the…
Canyon Time on the San Juan River
We spent three nights with Gary and Monica enjoying the Canyons around Moki Dugway. The first night we were at Muley Point, high up on the cliff edge with an expansive vista. Definitively one of the more impressive camping spots…
Butler Wash
Gary and Monica were headed to Butler Wash, which was only a couple of hours away. After picking up supplies in Moab, we headed in their direction. Em and Bec were with them. We ended up staying two nights in…
Arches National Park
The last time we visited Arches National Park was 20 years ago. It was so nice to return. Now there is a timed entry permit system, presumably because the park is so popular. We snapped up our permit on-line the…
Colorado National Monument
The plan was for a short day. We left the Gunnison River and headed to Grand Mesa to find a spot to camp for the night. The higher elevation and lingering winter snow made this an impossible option. But we…
