Snowy morning walk, catching some sun. The Okanagan is grey and bleak most of winter. I would prefer the cold temperatures to the North, where there are more sunny days 🇨🇦🍁

Updated blog post "Mirror Lake Hike"- I know it's the wrong time of year, but the hiking season will return 😀. Does anybody want to join me for this amazing wilderness hike in 2025? 🍁🇨🇦

Dirt paths often lead to amazing places, like Mirror Lake. I like the mountains and hiking. It's distracting, you're in nature and your mind is rejuvenating

What are the reasons that Canadians are moving away? Is Canada a country of broken dreams? What is causing the great Canadian exodus?

It has been years since I hiked up the Bluenose Mountain, near Lavington BC, a steep trail with rewarding views from the top. On the way to the first peak, I met a few people on the trails but had the second peak for myself. Next time I will bring my hiking poles!

The garbage around the trailhead was disgusting. What happened to the Leave No Trace policy.🇨🇦🍁

Who ever praises the Okanagan for best weather in Canada must like extreme heat and has definitely air conditioning! I just went to the shopping mall for a couple of hours to cool down.
I would rather be in Keno just now. Do I ever love the North! 🇨🇦

If you don't know, there is a ghost town in Sandon, British Columbia, that once was the largest community in the Kootenay Rockies. It is one of my favouite stops when I travel in this region.

Sandon is located off Highway 6 New Denver.
There is a museum, a collection of vintage trolly busses, the old fire hall made into a souvenir and antique shop, and many other treasures.

Take a tour of the Hydro station, western Canada's oldest continually operating plant.
Stop at the 14th Mountain Bistro for a specialty coffee and delicious food and learn how Vida came to Sandon.
I camped with the ghosts for two nights. Thanks, Vida and Hal, for your hospitality during each of my visits.🇨🇦🍁

Travelling Crowsnest Highway #3 across Alberta takes you through small historic towns like Bellevue, Blairmore, Frank, and Hillcrest.
Crowsnest pass is a great place to stop for a hike into the mountains. 🇨🇦

Imir, once a booming mining town in the West Kootenay of British Columbia, has a population of around 200 people. The old hotel was built in 1896 and is one of the oldest buildings in the region. Each time I travel through here, I stop to admire this old historic building from the mining boom years of the Salmon Valley. 🇨🇦

There are too many pictures and too many stories to tell. Here are a few from places I visited in Southern Saskatchewan and Alberta. Grasslands National Park, T-Rex Discovert Center at Eastend, Saskatchewan, Cypress Hills Provincial Park, Writing-On-Stone in Alberta, and more. Lots of blog post material, and I will need a winter to process it all. 🇨🇦🍁

I have many miles behind me, trying to escape the smoke, and stayed at Meadow Lake, northern Saskatchewan, last night. I stopped at small towns along Highway #55 and a short stop at Prince Albert, the largest city on this route, with population 33,000.
I did a side trip to Candle Lake, a popular vacation place for locals.
Tonight, I'm in Nipawin. Apparently, the whole town closes up at night, and it's not safe because of crime and drugs, I'm just told. Shall I be worried now...
Tomorrow, I'm heading to The Pas, Manitoba, following the Woods and Lakes Highway. 🇨🇦

My drive through Grasslands National Park and hiking some trails was an amazing experience.Not many people at this isolated place. At times, it seemed that I had the park for myself. #grasslandsnationalpark #travelsaskatchewan #backcountrycanadatravel

These are Kumaro, the female cat, and Nihym the male, adding daily surprises to my cabin life. The first day, one came through the cat door with a mouse in her mouth. This morning, I had a dead weasel in front of my bed. Anybody interested in an off grid cabin living experience?

My first morning to get the two woodstoves going in the cabin. The stove downstairs burns day and night this time of year. It only needs to be loaded with wood mornings and evenings, and it's super efficient. The Nectre Australia stove in the kitchen gets started in the morning to get the cabin temperature comfortable and to heat up the water tank connected to the stove. It only gets loaded with wood once. Therefore, mid-morning is the time to have a hot shower, do the dishes, and use the oven for baking.🇨🇦🍁 #cabinliving #housesitting #offthebeatentrack #offgrid #offgridliving #cariboolife #experiencecanada #backcountry #backtobasics #backcountrycanadatravel
