It was another hot day today! Beau took us out on a row boat on Twin Lake in the morning. The boys loved it! Then we headed to the town of Winthrop to do some exploring. Winthrop was a pretty busy town so we made sure we wore our masks but it really was difficultContinue reading “8/4/2020”

After admiring our special view one more time in the morning, we headed back down the forest road and made a quick stop at Nooksac Falls where we ate our overnight oats. (Side note I have eaten overnight oats every single morning so far this trip… Over it!) However, one thing we’ve noticed in WashingtonContinue reading “8/2/2020”

We woke up to a warm day complete with a gorgeous blue sky. Before packing out the campsite we did a short hike up Thunder Knob trail. This is a great hike for kids but super popular so I recommend doing it early and in the middle of the week! Unfortunately, we forgot to chargeContinue reading “8/3/2020”

We made it back to the good old USA! (Although I must admit I wish we were staying in Alaska through the pandemic). Canada was interesting – at least the Yukon and British Columbia – since no one wore masks or gloves except Americans. They really made an emphasis on washing hands and using handContinue reading “8/1/2020”

Gorgeous morning at Fraser Lake! We tried to get on the toad as quickly though. Our goal was to make it as close as possible to the US/ Canada border. We drove until 7pm and then decided to call it quits- only about 60 miles from the border! In the city of Prince George weContinue reading “7/31/2020”

Beau and I woke up pretty pooped from last night’s craziness but the boys were happy as clams! We packed up as quickly as possible and finished up the Cassiar Highway. At the intersection of the Cassiar and Yellowhead 16 is a historical town named Kitwanga. The first photo shows the historical battle mound whereContinue reading “7/30/2020”

Another long driving day on the Cassiar Highway. We had a high animal count day and I actually kept count: 1 moose, 2 grizzly cubs, and 5 black bears. The southern half of the Cassiar is quite different compared to the northern half. It is much drier, more vegetation, and different trees like quaking aspen.Continue reading “7/29/2020”

We had another long day of driving but the kids took it like champs! We made it out of the Yukon in about 27 hours (no one was patrolling the border though) and exited the Alcan to head south on the Cassiar Highway which is in British Columbia. This Highway is very remote and beautiful.Continue reading “7/28/2020”

Crossed over the Canadian border at Beaver Creek no problems early this morning! Since we are moving on military orders we are considered essential and allowed to cross the borders. The Yukon Territory wants you in and out within 24 hours to help keep covid out of its communities. The Alcan was no where nearContinue reading “7/27/2020”

We said goodbye to our beautiful campsite (and two resident ducks the boys were enamored with) and headed to Tok. Tok is the last Alaskan town before the Canadian border which is still approximately 120 miles away. When we last went though three years ago it was pretty busy even for September but this timeContinue reading “7/26/2020”
