Great adventures in diving, RVing and travel
Part 3: Driving the Alaska Highway through Western Canada Day 13This part of our journey entailed driving most of the Alaska Highway to Tok, Alaska, the first town in Alaska via the Alaska Highway. After almost two weeks of travel from Southern California, we crossed the Rocky Mountains from west …
Part 2: From SoCal to the Alaska Highway From Southern California it is 1,910 miles to the start of the Alaska Highway in the middle of British Columbia, Canada. We took 10 days to get to Dawson Creek, BC, and here are some highlights from the past week and a …
Part 1: Preparing for an RV Trip to Alaska Our long-awaited RV trip to Alaska is about to begin. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to drive from the lower-48 states to Alaska (through Canada) and explore most of the places in Alaska that you can drive to, we …
Why did you choose to dive off Little Cayman in the Cayman Islands? After last year’s GoPro video workshop while diving in Belize, we decided to go for another week of trying to improve our video composition, filming, and editing skills through another dive trip sponsored by Bluewater Dive Travel. …
Our final trip of 2022 commenced a short distance up the coast in Ventura County, California. We camped for three nights on the Rincon Parkway, along the old Pacific Coast Highway between Ventura and Santa Barbara. This is a wild experience because you open your front door onto the Pacific …
