The Old Blog is Gone
As of last night, the hundreds of posts and thousands of comments that were here are gone and can’t be re-created. The site has been hacked at least twice by a Chinese domain and my last-ditch effort to clean it up last night before heading bac...
Off on a Major Road Trip
The blog design is boring but not “buggy” now, and will remain that way for the next 3-4 weeks until I get back from a major road trip. I’m leaving early tomorrow for 3 weeks, with some of the destinations being: May 9: Calgary to...
Kluane Lake Wilderness Fishing & Hiking
Some of you may have seen the documentary film “Live Your Dream” that was released last summer - it follows Yukon trapper Frank Mueller on his trapline in the eastern Yukon. I’ve just finished rebuilding the Web site that Frank has ...
The New Mystery Store in Whitehorse
Those of you who drive up 2nd Avenue in Whitehorse may have been wondering what’s going on behind Erik’s Audiotronic. Well, this is going to be the home of a new company in town - one in a field that may surprise many of you. Although tou...
A Look at Tok, Alaska
Spring is just a few weeks away and I have Travel Fever bad! I find myself spending more and more time with my nose in travel magazines or browsing through travel Web sites and the thousands of photos I’ve taken on past trips. This morning I...
A Year in Fraser, BC
Those of you who have been reading my blog for a while have seen many photos of Fraser, British Columbia that I’ve taken on my drives to Skagway. I’ve now posted some information about Fraser and an album of 23 images taken throughout the...

I often see what little value many people place on their family’s history, and today I have the pleasure of showing you the other side of that coin. A collection of photos shot on a cruise and land tour of Alaska and neighbouring regions in the...
Taking it Easy by Going Back in Time
I’m somewhat limited in both my physical and mental abilities until my body gets used to the dilantin I’m now on, so I’m undertaking some “occupational therapy” by doing something I love - digging into Yukon-Alaska histo...
I Need a Road Trip!
Maybe the couple of days of Spring weather last week triggered it. Whatever the reason, I need to get out on the road. I keep having a flashes that if I was still driving charter bus I might be on the road right now, but I always quickly discard that...
Mush On!
I’ve just started rebuilding my badly neglected Everything Husky! site, and came across these photos that Cathy shot during the 2007 Yukon Quest race. I’ve missed a lot of the races the past few years due to being out of town on bus trips...
World War II in Alaska
I’m in Week 3 of a major upgrade of ExploreNorth, removing dead links and adding new ones. This morning I’ve discovered news about a new US National Historic Monument and an excellent NPS teachers’ resource. The World War II Valor i...
So Much to See….
…. and never enough time. Two of the many places in this area that remain on my “must-see” list are the historic Engineer Mine, and Ben-My-Chree. Both of them were famous around the world in the 1920s and now have all but disappeare...
Some of My New Web Sites
I’ve been building Web sites like mad lately, both for clients and myself. Click on the screen shots below to go the additions of the past few days - the Guide to Fort Nelson, BC; Pearson Dental Group’s redesign; ImageExplorers stock phot...
A Guide to the Telegraph Creek Road
As a result of my trips to Telegraph Creek in late June and mid-September with Billy Connolly’s film crew, I’ve added several hundred new images of the Stikine River and the Telegraph Creek Road to my collection. From that collection I...
