I have kept quiet about the Olympics partly because I have some mixed feelings about the financial impact of the Olympics on our country. I do not question the patriotic impact as that was very apparent. But as a very proud Canadian I try to do and think what is best for Canada. In my […]
Since we have been working hard on our YukonEH.com website the memories of our research trip are flooding my mind at a furious pace. It is like a highway of thoughts, fast pace, lots of movement. It is hard to turn it off at times. So , my release is to share it instead. If, […]
The Southern Lakes region of the Yukon Territory is a land of lakes and wildlife. The region, not surprisingly, is a region of the Yukon that was a pleasant surprise for us. Not only is the Southern Lakes deep in railway history it is a land of wetlands, wildlife, mountains and lakes. The Southern Lakes […]
In the Yukon, Territory there are big long lapses of time and stretches of highway with no signs of life except for wildlife and forests. Movement is only in the vehicles passing by and the many wildlife sightings. Every once in awhile while exploring along the Alaska Highway you will pass RVs, large commercial trucks […]
After traveling the Alaska Highway for hundreds of kilometres taking hundreds of photos it was refreshing to set up camp in Watson Lake, Yukon Territory during our research road trip of the region.

These are features more appreciated by the online traveler. They are features which make exploring easier and more […]
We like to think website creation is like art. You take some pictures and some research text and put it all together, mix it up bit, and create a web page which is very visual and interactive. Building a tourism and adventure website is like writing a book. And writing is enjoyable when you are […]

Sometimes it is just a good idea to go outside and start walking. No real destination in mind just walk. That was the spur of the minute plan today for Bro and I. The sun was out and the sky was blue. It was a break in the weather that we have waited for so […]
Living and growing up on Vancouver Island I am very accustomed to a certain type of sound when looking out my front window. While growing up at home there would be the sound of cars driving by the house. Some would putter along, some would go way too fast. There was a time when I […]
The reports are starting to roll in on Canadian Tourism. The awards are being handed to the industry elite. It is that time of year. A time to celebrate another year of tourism. I am still trying to figure out what they are celebrating about? I am more interested in knowing what is tourism doing […]
Another year waits ahead. It is a year of big dreams and lofty goals. Some of us have made resolutions while others are going to wing it. We for one, here at the FROG POND, have a plan.. it is a simple plan yet to the point. It is a plan that has never wavered […]

It is an effort to have British Columbia better remember and honour our long First Nation past. The two biggest name […]
It looks like Canada is about to become an approved travel destination for China. I am sure all of you in tourism have heard the news. I am sure many of you are excited. I am a wait and see guy. But one thing I do know is that the government is patting itself on […]
What a beautiful day (main picture)! The snow has settled and the lake is freezing over. Everything has a layer of white like cream icing on a cake. I am counting the days until our front yard ( Lake Nipissing ) is frozen over and we can get the skates and hockey stick out. Well […]
Yesterday we had our first real snow. All morning, all day and all night the snow fell. Sometimes the snowflakes floated down to the ground. Sometimes the snowflakes came at you sideways because of the big winds. We worked. We got up and walked to the window. We worked. We got up and looked out […]
