... anchored down in Anchorage! (and you need to give way to moose on the footpaths, even in the city!) Well here we are. Where has over...

So says the artist Rachel Hoover in Cordova, Alaska. And I agree. And I loved this piece, which Rachel kindly let me take a picture of,...

Icy Bay. Wonder why it is called that? The confluence of three massive glaciers has created a huge bay full of icebergs, which I now...

Been either having too much fun on land or been out to sea with no signal, so got a bit of catching up to do. I’ll be brief … ish We’ve...

Had we not had the unscheduled stop in Juneau, we might have been desperate to get off the boat for a while by the time we got to Haines....

Alaska’s capital city. Despite being tiny compared to Anchorage and Fairbanks, it remains the capital despite efforts to move it. Some...

The Arms family? Or a pair of pubs? No, the names of narrow fjords which both end at tidal glaciers roughly 50km in from their entrances....

Getting further and further behind now. Spending too much time either off the boat exploring or on it gazing at the frankly incredible...

Our mainland adventure is over ... for now! As I write this we are safely on the boat bound for Alaska, watching the sun set over...

I suspect if I had asked my friends in British Columbia they might have suggested that we bypass Hope and find somewhere else to stay on...

That is what it says on the car licence plates and I guess they have that right. Since we left Calgary and entered the Rockies we have...

Even the place names are exotic! Somewhere in the Kootenay mountains we recrossed the continental divide and we are now going downhill...

I might not have bothered with a blog today but things have got weird, and I just had to share! Technically, I guess I "lived" in...

Saskatchewan, land of living skies. I love it here, it's so different to home. From my cousins' farms you can see for miles in any...

Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico (briefly), Colorado, Wyoming, South Dakota, North Dakota. Redwood,...

For once there is no hyperbole. It really is huge, and not just in size, but in vision, scale, and timeframe! The face alone is almost...

An unusual title for my blog today. What has universal suffrage got to do with travel through the USA? If asked the question, "which...
