Discovered the Yukon in 1985, never leaving. Historian, traveller, photographer, writer, wilderness hiker, naturist, dog lover, antifa - on some particularly fine days, all of those things. Photos are mine unless otherwise credited.

In a melancholy mood on this rather dreary morning, thinking I'd sure like to hit the road, it occurred to me that there's nothing stopping me from doing exactly that. This is the Alaska Highway down by Steamboat, only 9 hours away by motorhome...

Our Prime Minister dealing with idiots - in front of him in the White House and the hateful toddler in the back seat at home. Lord give him strength.

The design of the 29-cent postage stamp commemorating the 50th anniversary of the completion of the Alaska Highway was released in December 1991, with the stamp issued for circulation on May 30, 1992, at Fairbanks, Alaska. explorenorth.com/library/post...

The scene depicted on this 29-cent postage stamp is a World War II military truck traveling the new gravel road, with the Wrangell-St. Elias Mountains looming in the background.

This is probably not what most people expect. Protect yourself, protect your community - vaccinate.

2 years ago today (on my wife's birthday) we were enjoying our first sunset on a 17-night cruise from Vancouver to Hawaii and back on Holland America’s Koningsdam.

The American Republican Party will go down in history as encouragers of fascism and protects of pedophiles. What a legacy.

Oh look the party that screams “family values” every five minutes is silent when one of their megachurch darlings pleads guilty to child sex abuse. But they’ll trip over themselves to ban books and attack drag shows. Tells you everything you need to know.

I thought you meant he was killed by an owl! But he did lose an eye in that attack - that's a unique way to get attention for your passion.

This makes it notable that Georgia is one of the very few nations that has ever given Donald Trump an honor. Fascist buddies.

Ukraine has redefined modern warfare with their vast and ever-growing fleet of cheap drones, including kamikaze versions. The terrorist nation Russia will lose the war they started. #SlavaUkrainii

THIS is what the world would like to see from at least 1,00 other American mayors! Oust the fascists and their gestapo!

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson:

"Private establishments can partner with us to make it clear that private property is private property and ICE cannot enter establishments without a valid warrant ... If Congress will not check this administration, then Chicago will."

It boggles my mind that only 1/3 of Canadians have quit visiting the States. Absolutely nothing could get me to cross that border now.

Whitehorse, Yukon - the sternwheeler SS Klondike, with the hospital on the other side of the Yukon River. The restoration crew on the Klondike is about to shut down for the winter - they completed the rebuild of the barge Atlin in front.
