[04/09/2024 – 11/09/2024] Our Last Week – Whenever You Read IT Strange thing, every time I write the blog and look at what we did the past week, the first few days seem to be so far away, even though they just happened, and to some extend i have the feeling, that the longer we are on this trip, this feeling becomes stronger every time. On the plus side, back in Whitehorse (a lifetime ago) i have heard a band…
[28/08/2024 – 04/09/2024[ Our last week – Whenever You Read IT It is now nine months of travel time. And it is save to say that both of us are a little tired of the constant unpacking, packing and redoing it all over again. While for the tent it is rather simple, due to the static nature of the packing list. Everything has its place in the bag. For the kitchen (Stefan is taking care of it) the story is…
Just a quick view of the journey.
[21/08/2024 – 28/08/2024] Our last week – Whenever You Read IT While we cut our time in Alaska a little shorter, due to weather, what we have seen was very impressive. I really do like mountainous terrain. When there are glaciers or snow capped mountains, even better. While marveling at the landscape, I could not help but wonder how this looked 20 years ago, and what the landscape will look like 20 years from now. At the first – up…
[14/08/2024 – 21/08/2024[ Our Last Week – Whenever You Read IT So the last thing we did on Tuesday was to put up our tent and have some dinner at the Rock River Campground. Fighting off some Mosquitos, enjoying the sunset, and then turn in for an early night. The next morning started quite early and rather cold with 1°C according to Stefan. Sadly this particular night got him a cold. Obviously his mood was not on an all time…
[07/08/2024 – 14/08/2024[ Our Last Week – Whenever You Read IT Yukon / Klondike / Tombstone -> Names that resonate in my mind. Be it through books I´ve read in my youth or movies I have watched. Am pretty sure though, that the western “Tombstone” was set way down south from the Tombstone we drove through. One day before passing the arctic circle we had 29°C and honestly it was pretty warm weather since we have left Vancouver. Thinking about…
[31/07/2024 – 07/08/2024[ Our Last Week – Whenever You Read IT The first impression Canada left was one of rain and open minded people, which left us wondering how Canada would present itself the further we move up north. After having a quick chat with BC ferries, they said that there is a high possibility that the ferry from Port Hardy to Prince Rupert would take us aboard even if we did not reserve a spot, but after a quick…
[24/07/2024 – 31/07/2024[ Our Last Week – Whenever You Read IT With the usual cursing Stefan managed to convince Amazon to deliver him a new pair of shoes to a Amazon lock box in Portland, which then led me to have him add a new (aftermarket) license plate holder to his order. The order was placed back in Redding and it is now time to collect it. Portland is a nice city however for the size of it restaurants and…
[10/07/2024 – 17/07/2024[ Our Last Week – Whenever You Read IT So where were we? Sequoia National Park, Camping, Running/Hiking, Swimming, that was great especially since we had a rather short ride. Next stop was Yosemite, that was a slightly longer ride, which would have been not such a big deal, but standing in the waiting line for 90 min. brought down the mood and it was yet another very warm day. With all the gear we had to jump…
[03/07/2024 – 10/07/2024[ Our last week – whenever you read it First of, apologies for bringing this to you a little later, then usually, but we have been preoccupied with being amazed. That being said here is a quick listing of where we have been last week: Let´s start it slow, the route 66. Honestly I did not have that in my sights at all, it more or less just happened to be around, when we came out of the…
