Badlands National Park
Planning a trip takes a lot of time and effort. My general rule is that it takes as much time to plan a trip as it does to take it. For a six-week journey, like when we travelled to Alaska and back, it took six…
An Unexpected Encounter With A Moose
It was early on the morning of July 17, 2023, when we crawled out of our sleeping bags and were ready to head further into Alaska. We were on our Alaskan Trip Of A Lifetime. It had been amazing so far; we expected more of that…

Assiniboine Park and Zoo
Oftentimes, when we arrive at a location that we want to explore, it has one, maybe two, features that draw us there. For example, a city park with a duck pond and a garden, or another place with a few sculptures among some flowers. Rarely…
Winnipeg Murals
A couple of years ago, I decided we would go to Alaska. As part of my initial research on this destination, I looked at things we can do when places close up for the day. One of the most annoying things we have discovered is…
