Hey all. As stated in the title I have a weird request for someone if anyone in beaver creek is on this sub
Specifically I’m looking for someone who would be willing to FaceTime me from the welcome sign who would be willing to waste a slice of bread tossing it on the ground to help me make a “Canada sandwich” while I’m in cape spear Newfoundland towards the end of August
Very stupid
Almost a waste of time one might call it.
But as a born and bred Manitoban the thought of creating something as big as a Canada sandwich, nevermind the friends I might meet along the way in my journey makes wearing the dunce cap worth it for me
Thanks in advance for all your help!

Hello everyone,

I am thinking of visiting Yukon as I’ve always wanted to. I will be coming from the US, and wanted to ask the following:

1) whether visiting Whitehorse, going to Kathleen Lake, and/or driving to Skagway, AK be doable in early October, or do the roads close?

2) When is fall season?

3) Any must knows that outsiders often miss?

I am driving from Edmonton to White horse leaving on September 4th. I plan to take three nights and 4 days to make the trip and was planning to stay past Dawson Creek on the first night, hopefully at Kiskitinaw Park. I have since realized that I will be traveling on the long weekend and most of the places I had planned to stop along the way do not allow reservations.

Does anyone have advice on excellent places to stop along the way that will actually have availability? I could always just pull over to the side of the road but I don't think my dog would enjoy that.

I have to be at Kewanee National park by September 8th. Other than that my travel ​schedule is completely flexible.

Any insurance savvy people have any idea…

Seems like co-op has a huge deductible if there is an earth quake…. And other companies seem to have the yearly payment upwards of $400 for the earthquake coverage …

What do you guys have for your home insurance ?

Hoping to take a 24 foot RV up to the top of midnight dome overnight for one night at the end of August. Just wondering if this is allowed first off. If so is it easy to drive up there and is there spots I can park. Is it a good spot to see Northern Lights.

Any feedback would help

Thanks

What’s the best month to hike tombstone territorial park if I want to see the fall colours in full effect?

As scenic as it would be, ideally before it starts snowing too much and getting super cold or slippery, as I don’t have the gear or experience for that yet

Edit: planning on doing one or two multi day hikes including grizzly lake trail along with any other points of interest recommended (time allowing)

Hey all,

We're hoping to manage this trip in early September. We are well aware that once we pass Prince George we'd have to go charge at non-Tesla chargers and have all of the adapters.

Has anyone on here done this trip (or the opposite)? Any advice you can give? How many apps did you have to add to your phone? How many days did the trip take you? Are there any areas where we definitely should have some range anxiety?

Yes, I know lots of people don't like Teslas (we bought it before we knew what an absolute a**hole Musk is) but it's the only car we have.

thought this would be cool to share

Hello everyone. As per the title I am seeking information regarding this school and if anyone has any experience with it, whether it has a good foundational program, etc. I am genuinely curious since most of the information I could find is from over a decade ago. I know it's more of a college than a uni but I am still curious as to what people may know about it.

Go on...dont be shy 😉 Lets have some fun!

Hey everyone,

I run a small European tour operator. We organize multi-day wilderness expeditions for small groups, max. 10 to 12 people, in a few different remote destinations around the world. One of our tours is here in Canada: the Yukon River canoe trip from Carmacks to Dawson City is our flagship trip, and it brings us to Whitehorse every year in July or August for a few days, both before and after the actual river trip.

I am looking to connect with someone based in or near Whitehorse who could help with a few practical things around those days in town, for example car or transport within Whitehorse, help with grocery shopping for a fairly large group, and ideally a place outside the city where we could pitch a few tents for a couple of nights, with access to a shower. This is paid work, and since we come back every year, ideally it would turn into an ongoing arrangement with someone we can rely on each season.

Some basic requirements: a valid driving license, ideally access to a truck or larger vehicle, and some spare time for a few hours across a couple of days during that window. I can handle a lot of things myself, so this really is just about covering a few gaps. Everything else can be discussed directly.

I would rather not share all the details publicly here, but happy to explain exactly who I am and what the business does via DM. If this sounds like something you could help with, or you know someone who might, feel free to message me.

Thanks for reading!

Born in the city of Whitehorse on July 12, 1920, and raised in Dawson City, Berton was a Toronto Star editor for nearly 40 years, a war correspondent, a television talk show host, a celebrated historian, a prolific essayist, and the author of 50 best-selling books. In the case of his talk show, among the many people whom he interviewed were Bruce Lee and Malcolm X.

His childhood home in Dawson City is now known as the Berton House, owned by the Writers' Trust of Canada, and it is still being used as a retreat for professional writers (past residents include Chris Turner, Pasha Malla, and Charlotte Gray).

I just had a bucket list trip with my dad up here in The Yukon.

Our daughter/dad trip was one to remember.

We loved everything we did. (White Pass rail, the Wildlife preserve (amazing guide here!), Eclipse spa, Lumel studios (what a true treasure), the coffee at Railwork. And then Dawson. That town punches above its weight even if the road is rough. We went on 3 Parks Canada tours, checked out the Jack London museum, ferry and the midnight dome and did 2 shows at Gerties all in one day. (And I got to introduce The Call of the Wild audiobook to my dad on the drive. He loved it.)

But the best part? You. Every Yukoner (born and raised or come from away) was so welcoming and kind.

Thanks for having an old farmer and his daughter from the Prairie.
