Discovered the Yukon in 1985, never leaving. Historian, traveller, photographer, writer, wilderness hiker, naturist, dog lover, antifa - on some particularly fine days, all of those things. Photos are mine unless otherwise credited.

Dean Blundell overstates some things in this newsletter, I think it's safe to say that Donald Trump has strengthened Canada to a degree that no other politician inside or outside Canada ever has. Well, no other politician since Adolph Hitler. Thanks eh, dummy.

I may not agree with everything he's doing, but I am very proud of my Prime Minister this morning. A deal with the criminal enterprise to the south isn't worth the paper it's written on. The next step is killing the F35 deal - it runs on software controlled by that criminal enterprise. Go Gripen!

Let's get that piece of shit Canada-hating "ambassador" expelled!

I'm extremely pleased to see the final trail for the Yukon Quest sled dog race, and to see that they hope it will become a year-round trail for Yukoners and visitors to use. Congratulations to the Quest team that made this happen - great work, folks! ❀️

We’re excited to share a first look at the new Yukon Quest 2027 route. This map represents the current planned route. As trail work continues, small adjustments or detours may be made if changing terrain or environmental conditions require them.

A transit of the fabled Northwest Passage is one of Canada's most iconic journeys. ExplorEarth's just-published "Top 10 Reasons to Visit the Northwest Passage by Expedition Ship" is not the usual fluff of this type of article - the photos alone make it worth reading. explorearth.com/original-sto...

I'm extremely pleased to be able to share this news about the Canadian section of the Yukon Quest sled dog race ❀️

Yukon Quest@yukonquest.bsky.social

The Yukon Quest International Association (Canada) is proud to announce the return of the Yukon Quest in 2027. Racing will officially begin in Whitehorse on February 6, 2027, with two races for mushers to undertake one of the world’s most iconic sled dog challenges - the YQ550 and the YQ300.

What a day - that snow is 30 inches deep. After digging thousands of pounds of snow off the roof of the firewood shelter to prevent it from collapsing (a bad bend in the main beams!), I was digging 80 feet to a tree to install a boreal owl nestbox. I was out in the sun all day today - glorious!

Orca at Dyea, Alaska, in May 2019. After I posted a few photos online, the guy who owned the boat contacted me. Nobody on the boat had a camera! I sent him a few photos from this encounter which involved the male seen here, a smaller male, a female and her calf, and lasted about 5 minutes in total.

Yes, this made my eyes wet, too ❀️

This is Molly. She was finally found a week after her human fell down a 180-foot waterfall while hiking together in New Zealand. Her human was badly injured and rescued by helicopter, but Molly was missing. A week later, Molly was found at the base of the waterfall and reunited with her human. 14/10

Long COVID Awareness Day - it's a start. A start that should have happened years ago.

BREAKING: the city of Los Angeles just officially recognized Long COVID Awareness Day, and will light City Hall teal in observation of the day on March 15. I was at the City Hall meeting and just spoke with the advocates that made it happen. Story to come in @thesicktimes.org!

"this behemoth embraces and celebrates indulgence" is about the finest description of a burger I've ever read! If you find yourself in Whitehorse, Yukon, with a serious hunger, head down the Alaska Highway about 20 minutes, and give this a go πŸ˜€
