Scott and Lynne's Journey to the Klondike

Written October 26, 2005

Thought you all might be interested in what we've been up to since we left Alberta. To start here's a picture of us to remind you what we look like:

If you all recall, we left Edmonton at the end of July, when we detoured through Lumsden, Saskatchewan for Scott’s grandpa Art’s birthday and his brother Dean’s birthday, too. We had a wonderful time and they even threw us a little going away party complete with gifts to help make our transition to the north a little easier.

Then we headed back to Devon where we picked up

our cats, Scott's Beetle, and our canoe.

And off we went towards our new life...making friends along the way...

If you look close you can see Artie in the background of this pic. We named our van Artie shortly after departing Lumsden, in honour of Scott’s grandpa (and a little bit for laughs, too).

We saw some beautiful sights in northern BC but we were pretty excited about arriving at the Yukon border:

After arriving in Whitehorse we decided to kill the weekend in Kluane National Park, a world heritage site and home to grizzly bears but the bridge was out…

…just kidding. Kluane was beautiful and relaxing but we saw no grizzly bears…yet

The remainder of our journey to our new home was beautiful. There isn’t much except mountains and fireweed to look at along the way but here is Montague House.

When you come to visit us do not use the pit toilets here. I repeat: DO NOT PEE HERE! Very scary.

And then we arrived at our new home

And lived happily ever after?
