We were in Canada for almost half of our trip to Alaska (a total of 11 nights). We’ve been to Canada before, and I am sure that Mark and I will go again. We might even go next year. I am sure trips like that will require more posts about pet-friendly locations in the giant…

Ripley had a fantastic time while we were in Alaska, and I think Sabre did, too, although she’s such a grouch that she’s a little harder to read. Since we had so much trouble finding things that sounded dog-friendly on the internet before our trip, this week and next week I’m going to post about the…

This weekend, the season began with a concert called The Greatest Generation, which was meant to commemorate World War II. Since we needed to be in Fort Smith anyway for the symphony, we decided…

– Prince George, British Columbia to Hope, British Columbia – The weather changed dramatically today. It actually feels like summer now. We packed away our sweaters when we were putting our bags together this morning, but I think we were still a little surprised by just how dramatically the weather changed. We began the day…

– Stewart, British Columbia to Prince George, British Columbia – We’re really getting close to the end of our trip now. I think everyone is starting to feel it. We are taking fewer pictures and getting out of the car a little less. Today was another quiet day, and we didn’t even get to start…

– Watson Lake, Yukon Territory to Stewart, British Columbia – We made it back into Alaska today. I know that sounds crazy, especially looking at our locations for today. But it’s true! Mark and I got up early and walked Ripley through the woods this morning. It was raining, and the trail in Watson Lake…
