New life begins!!

Well, friends and relatives, my new life has begun! I quit the job, purchased all the vehicle licenses, insurances, paid for electricity for my apartment for about 8 months, rent for 4 months and just have to winterize my apartment for the time that I'm away. Then it'll be "On The Road Again"!!!!!. Willie sure knew what he was singing about.

I have worked hard to make this time a reality and now is the time to initiate the plan. "The Plan" you say? It is to travel our country's roads and photograph our nation as we see it everyday and just pass it off as the same as it was the last time. Is it really or does it change every time we pass that way? I want to take a photo recording of those places and events that we take for granted every day.

This is a view which we don't see every day, an absolutely beautiful sunrise in Whitehorse. The colours alone make the scene unforgetable. The Yukon River looking south, an indelible image on the brain. I haven't had much time this summer to take photos like this that represent our territory here in the northwest of Canada.

I hope to include shots like this in each blog that I publish this trip. Look forward to the best I have to offer in this blog to all my family and friends as I travel this great land of ours. Have a great day everyone!

On The Road Again!

Well, it's that time of year again (Brrr, Winter) and this old boy is getting ready to quit the job and hit the road again. After 67 winters in my life, I decided to become a Snowbird! This year, I'm going where the birds go to stay warm, the Southern USA. Not quite sure where I'll roost for the winter, but a long roadtrip is definitely in the near future.
A friend in South America is dealing with the big "C" word, yes, Cancer, and I'm going down to support my friend through the medical procedures. I'll be there for a few weeks, but I will be back for that roadtrip I mentioned sometime in December.
As I am writing this post at work during my spare time, I don't have any photos to add this time, but I will add some Yukon scenery to my next post from home. Although I have been working way too much this summer to take many photos of our so excellent territory, I have managed to shoot a few worthy shots when I could. So stay tuned occasionally to this station, and keep abreast of the latest news from the roadbound traveller.
Have a wonderful day.
The Yukoner
