Whitehorse and Skagway

Caravan Stop #5 – 253 Miles: Pioneer RV park in Whitehorse, YT.

We spent 3 nights in Whitehorse. The first night, we had drinks at Woodcutter’s Brewery.

On day 2, we had a group Glass Blowing event with Lumel Studios where Pam made an ornament and Kelly made a glass bowl. Super fun and we would both do it again. We will not get our works of art until we pass back through Whitehorse on our way back from Alaska.

Pam and I hiked Miles Cayon which has the Robert Lowe Suspension Bridge. We made our way out to a small rock island with a quite bench to sit and enjoy the fast-moving river down the canyon which was disturbed by a speed boat cruising down river (was actually pretty cool). We all saw a helicopter coming back from dumping water on the wild fires.

On the third day, the group took the White Pass Summit Rail and Bus Excursion to Skagway in Alaska. The train ride was great. They had Cruise Ships in the harbor and we enjoyed beer at the Skagway Brewing Company.

Caravan Stop #4 – 107 Miles: Baby Nugget RV Park in Watson Lake, YT. Our first stop in the Yukon Territory of Canada.

Another short 2-night stay. We visited the Northern Light’s Center where we watched an IMax movie about the northern lights. Very informative.

We also visited the “Sign Forest” which started with the construction of the Alaskan Highway by a soldier. The caravan added a sign, plus we found signs from New Richmond, WI; Huson, WI, Casa Grande, AZ and more. I added my name to a Green Bay Packer’s sign that had no names on it.

Coal River – Wagon Wheel

July 18, 2026 / / 1 Comment

Caravan Stop #3: 255 Miles: Coal River RV Park. On the drive, we say real mountain goats knocking rocks onto the road and stopped for Cinnamon Buns.

We camped in an open field and created a huge “Wagon Wheel” with 25 Airstream campers facing out. It was a 120-foot circle on the outside of the ring.

We were only there for 2 nights, where we did a Hobo Cookout in the center of ring. RV’s were spaced 13 feet apart on the inner ring. Really Cool.

We visited the Liard Hot Springs which was very nice. Very hot at the beginning of the spring and cooled down to bath water temperatures at the end. A bit stinky for Pam, but enjoyable. We encountered a bear on the side of the road, who turned and walked straight at our jeep. Very up close and personal

Caravan Stop #2 – 282 miles: Tripple G Hideaway Park & Campground. Lots of amenities including a restaurant and saloon.

We visited the Fort Nelson Heritage Museum, where Marl Brown wanted to save the history of the area and the building of the highway. Lots of old cars and equipment in 7 buildings. Very much worth a visit if you make this trip.

A bit crazy, but we were only there for 2 nights / 1 full day, and neither Pam or I took almost no pictures. We were busy provisioning and doing chores.

Caravan Starts in Dawson Creek

July 12, 2026 / / 1 Comment

Caravan Stop #1: The caravan officially started on July 12th at Northern Lights RV in Dawson, Creek which is the start of the Alaskan Highway – Mile Zero. A very nice full service campground. On site restaurant and very clean.

The Alaskan Highway was built in 9 months during WWIII. Amazing effort to build this 1,700 mile road and all the bridges needed. Wow.

Pam and I had breakfast at Don’s Diner which is in the Airport. The food was outstanding and huge portions. We watched 2 helicopters take off and land.

We had dinner at the George Dawson Inn restaurant and Makenna from the visitor center gave a highly energetic presentation on the town and the Alaskan Highway. She also has a jeep and so she put a duck on our jeep, so we gave her a pink duck (it is a jeep thing).

We visited the Kiskatinaw Bridge (curved bridge) where we met a nice family from Taiwan (Kitty, her husband and their daughter Anne). Really fun people.
