December Snow

      We've had some decent snow over the past couple weeks and we're doing our best to get out and make some tracks.  Today Sandy and I went over to the resort for the morning after the the most recent storm finally calmed down.  The snow has been great for the resort and even better in the backcountry.  Later in the afternoon Mako and I went out for a few turns on the pass.  She could have used a snorkel to get down with the snow about snout level on her the whole way.  She'll sleep well tonight.

A 10 Day Drive

Alright!  This one took a while to put together for a few different reasons, but it's a video of the trip my Dad and I took from AK to ID last month.  It was quite the trip and we both had a blast.  As you'll see in the video, we drove down in my little two seater truck and used the trip to explore a bit of Northwestern Canada.  I wish Mom could have met us somewhere along the way, but hopefully this will give her an idea of what we were up to.

Thanks Dad for taking the time to travel with me and a thanks to Mom for letting him go!  Get your popcorn out for this one, it's 9+ minutes.  Cheers!

New Found Classics

Last night I found a few shots of Mako as a puppy. Sandy had been hiding or rather misplaced these photos, but I couldn't resist putting them up.

Half Way

We are officially over half way! Just over 2,000 miles have been cover and only a measly 1,500 more to go.

We met up with Sandy's friend Pam in Sandpoint on Sunday and spent the afternoon on Lake Pend Oreille. It turned out to be a beautiful day while we enjoyed a swim, friends and our brief time in town. Yesterday we moved north of the border and spent the night at the Fairmont in Banff. It was the last Fairmont reservation for a while, but quite a spectacular place.

After a night of luxury we continued north through the Canadian Rockies stopping at Lake Louise and Jasper, which are still within the Provincial Park borders. With the high North American sun on our side we were able to stretch the daylight and make it past Grande Prairie and into St. John's for tonight. Tomorrow brings another big day of driving and we are aiming for at least Watson Lake, Yukon.

Cheers!
