Stewart-Cassiar

 















9/10/25:  We left at about 9:55 because Kershaw’s doesn’t open until 10.  It’s a cute coffee, pastry and wine bar that overlooks the water.  I believe it was an old hardware store.  The owners have done an excellent job restoring the building.  It’s a very welcoming place.  


On the drive up out of Atlin, we spotted a mule deer, a big black bear and I killed a Ptarmigan.  It zigged when it should’ve zagged.  Back on the Alcan, I got fuel at the junction and we headed for Teslin.  We took on more fuel in Teslin and picked up some Okanagan Harvest Pear and Bubly.  The drive on the Alcan was pretty vanilla, some places are past peak color and others are looking good.  


We took on more fuel at the Cassiar Junction and started south at about 3:50.  The Cassiar is the other route to AK, and comes up to the west of Prince George.  The road is 450 miles, 720km and is known for being narrow and having lots of wildlife.  


We drove down about 50 miles at stayed at Boya Lake Provincial Park.  Rolling in here at 5pm, there were no water spots left, but it’s a beautiful, well maintained park.  We found a flat spot and parked where we didn’t need to make any adjustments.  We had a random dinner, crackers, chips, split a sandwich and then I took Duncan for a lap.  We watched some movies we’ve seen a dozen times and hung out.

The End of 24’

 As 2024 comes to a close, we are in a cabin near Show Low AZ.  This area is beautiful at first glance and we will be here for a week.  It reminds us of Bend/Sisters, but it’s way smaller.  This is the first time Katy has been out of the RV since 12/1/20.  We are looking forward to exploring this area.  We hope everyone had a great Christmas and that you all have a happy New Year!   We took a trip up to Tucson and stayed at Catalina State Park.  It was a great trip and we enjoyed the lights at the botanical gardens.  The state park is great and really spread out.  We also had a seRV event with Full Time Families, where we made cards for the kids and families at Ronald McDonald House.  It was an amazing event and we enjoyed seeing old friends and making new ones.  The kids who participated were awesome, they helped us set up and tear down.   The next day we co-hosted another event in Sierra Vista.  We partnered with Wr...

North Again?

Well, a lot has happened in the past month.     2025 is starting off pretty big.     We had a great time in the Show Low, Pine Top and Lakeside area.     Katy and I stayed in a one room cabin with the pups and it was fun, but after a few days we missed having our own stuff and our bed.     The area is cool and we had fun exploring Greer which was like driving down to the Metolius.    We went up to the ski hill the same day.    There were 1 or 2 runs open of man made snow and about 400 cars worth of people sharing the hill.    Not our jam.    The Pinetop Brewing Co was a fun stop, they have great beers and good food.    Beer brewed at 7,000’.   We took a tour of Petrified Forest NP and really like it.    It is a mixture of Blue Basin, The Painted Hills and the Badlands with a spattering of Fossilized Trees.    It’s worth getting out and taking the short loops in the par...

Want to go to Skagway?

Friday we drove from Teslin Lake to Whitehorse Yukon.    We got on the road pretty early and were surprised to not see any wildlife along the way.    First stop was the laundromat.    Two XL washers and three dryers later and we were in business.    We met another full time couple doing laundry, who are traveling to Juneau for the summer.   Barry said they had a 5 hour ferry ride from Skagway to Juneau.    We then got to chatting about Skagway and the fact it was only two hours away.    I had been looking at it on maps but didn’t realize we were that close.    We parted ways and headed to Woodcutter’s Blanket Bar and Brewery for lunch.    Good beer…pass on the food.    While at the bar, I suggested we head to Skagway for a night or two as we will not have full hookups in Fairbanks until 5/4 ish.    I then talked myself out of it and Katy said let’s go for it.   We book...
