On My Way

Here we go…. After an all-nighter of last minute-packing, big hugs goodbye, and a dash to the airport  with way to much gear, I landed in Vancouver, the first stop on my way to my month-long Kluane painting expedition. There......

One More Chance!

Enjoyed wonderful alpenglow on Logan again this morning at 5:30am. One of the benefits of being grounded for our fourth night is being able to see this amazing view again. This time it lasted a lot longer as well, and......

The Big Descent

This is the big day. Up at 6am to pack down camp and begin our journey down… way down. Our goal is to descend to the Hoge Creek bottom below, a kilometre down hill. There’s no clear way to getting......

Morning Glory

Woke up at 4am, and heard the sound of the generator humming by the Kluane River. John, owner of Rocking Star Adventures, was still at it. With work lights on the dock, he had been working through the entire night......

New Territory

The beige Parks Canada truck pulls up to our the little rented cabin, ready for loading. Adam and I relocated to Haines Junction yesterday, in preparation of the next leg of my Kluane expedition: canoeing in the south end of......

Islands

Weather has been spectacular on the trip so far, and, other than the dumping of snow in the ice fields, very dry. So when the rain came down last night while sleeping, I figured we were about due for a......
