The Cassiar Highway, Hwy 37

Posted on July 9, 2014 by Judy

We’ve been off the grid for  a few days as we drove south-east from Whitehorse to Prince George, boondocking (freecamping) in various idyllic camp sites as we made our way down Highway 37, the Cassiar Highway, the road less travelled. … Continue reading →

So, we missed American Independence Day by one day, and we missed Canada Day on July 1st by a few days too. But here’s a delightful song by my favourite astronaut who also happens to be one of my favourite … Continue reading →
