A ceremony on Ontario's Bruce Trail, with our good friend Carl Atwood, professor and backwoods man, presiding
Carl and Margaret gave us their daughter's recently published book, to send us on our way
The Bruce Peninsula was a good stop for a late start from the city
Agawa Bay on the east shore of Lake Superior is a magic place
across the prairies, in fields of rapeseed
crossing a prairie river by ferry
a prairie campground among the poplars
can't buy gas on a Sunday in the prairies, but purple gas will do …
visiting old friends in Tisdale
in Saskatchewan, old wood stoves serve the outdoor camper
a family reunion in Notley's NDP Alberta riding welcomed us to the community campground
after the party … a fine sleep under the Alberta sky
we lost pavement a few miles up the Alaska Highway - dust and mud for the next thousand miles
blueberry pancakes, in the Yukon rain
Liard River valley, and Yukon's carefully maintained floral displays
Yukon highway mud and dust
Carcross mud will grab the unsuspecting motorcyclist …
… who had to travel the next three thausand miles without a windshield
on the Chilkoot Trail from Dyea - Skagway
resting on laurels
cold breakfast before packing over the pass
in the pass, looking south into Alaska
walking the snowfields into Canada
a brief cooling dip in Crater Lake
warm walking, into Lake Lindemann
another ceremony - at Lake Bennett at the end of the trail
fording Burwash Creek just outside of Kluane Park
looking for berries and bears, Kathleen Lake, Yukon
Howard Johnson's gave us our own table to celebrate our return to Ontario (or maybe it was the presentation …)
home again - and a Council agenda to review for tomorrow's meeting
