Tootling around BC 2025 – Part One

I've started to organize and edit photos from my various camping/road trips this past year. I had originally planned to head up to the Yukon for the summer, but instead ended up doing several convoluted loops through the BC interior, Rocky Mtns, and north coast, returning home for a few days every month or two. … Continue reading Tootling around BC 2025 – Part One

From there I continued east into the Big Muddy badlands, then northward past the mostly still frozen lakes and snowy environs of Moose Mountain. Crossing into Manitoba, I ventured still further north … Continue reading The Great Trans Canada Road Trip – week two

The Great Trans Canada Road Trip – week one

After driving nearly 5000 km (4940 to be exact) in a not particularly straight line, I'm currently taking a long break at my brother's place in Ontario. With a few exceptions it's been a fairly awesome trip so far. I'm working on editing the way too many pictures I've taken - here's a look at … Continue reading The Great Trans Canada Road Trip – week one
