When I woke up to feed the cat, I was pleasantly surprised to see some aurora outside! We wanted to take advantage of a super clear day and make the drive down to Skagway. A clear day in the White Pass is always worth the drive, even if it’s cold Continue Reading

We saw a streak of aurora in the sky at home and decided to go somewhere close to home. Originally, we tried heading south, but were blocked in by clouds. On our way north, we decided to try out Fish Lake, and it did not disappoint! Unfortunately, all of my Continue Reading

Still amid the reno struggle, we went out for a shorter day trip in-town. We hadn’t been out to Fish Lake since the fall and decided to check it out in the frozen condition. The weather was warm and stunning, few clouds and juuust below freezing. While waiting to park, Continue Reading

With the home renos ongoing, it had been some time since Kayla and I had left city limits during the daylight hours. We decided to follow the clear sky out to the Kluane Lake region. We left home around quarter to 11 and meandered our way out. The first stop Continue Reading
