Day 13
Lilooet Trip
October 19, 2018 in Canada ⋅ ⛅ 10 °C
Bert picked me up at 7:30 to drive down to Lilooet and pick up some tractors he had down there bailing haye. Beautiful drive down but it was quite foggy. Apparently missed out on a lot of the views but it was still nice.
Had a job interview for big white and got offered a job in the hotel laundry. It means I can I more skiing because I the shifts. They also do unlimited free ski lessons which is a huge perk. So I told red mountain I'm not taking the rental job and I'm going to big white. Now I just need to find some where to live.
Some one reached out from couch surfing for an event I created asking for a ride to white horse. They wanted to leave tomorrow so I said it was too early. Brenda said that was fine though and I should do it. So kellie is picking me up tomorrow.
I told Rhea i have a ride up and she freaked out a bit. Hope she's doing ok. Sad to think she isn't happy or is struggling sy the moment, just want to comfort her but some how think that might not be the best.
Looking forward to seeing her though.
This kellie chick sounds really cool though. Very relaxed and easy going, I think we'll have a good time.
Went out for dinner with brenda and bert at a pub at 70mile. Great burger!Read more

Pot Cookies
October 20, 2018 in Canada ⋅ ☀️ 12 °C
I checked out of the Nomad Motel this morning because Kellie is going to give me a lift to the Yukon. She said she read going to leave Vancouver early morning.
When I got to I ranch Brenda started baking some pot cookies. I got to kick the spoons.
Had one with bert, didn't feel too much, bit of a buzz. Finished the art of a of a of a of a the book to Brenda as we spoke alot about it.
Took a bunch of scrap wood to burn piles out the back. When I was going to take the tractor back through the gate, fizz bomb waited for me to be walking back to the tractor and then legged it through the gate and took some coaching to get back through. Cheecky bugger, very smart.
Kellie didn't end up arriving until aboot 5. She seems cool and very easy going.
Had a beautiful dinner.
I slept in the TeePee in the yard which was pretty cool.Read more

Day 15
Cobb Lake
October 21, 2018 in Canada ⋅ ☀️ 3 °C
Had a really sweaty night in the teepee and then it froze on my sleeping bag in the morning. Had a nice breakfast in the morning.
Bert sharpened Kelly's axe as, strapped her spare tire to the roof and gave us a saw to cut wood with. Brenda gave me some pot cookies and a couple grams of weed which is nice.
Had a pretty easy drive, had vegemite sandwiches fir lunch by a lake near 10 mile. I had a couple of circle while we drove, Kellie said she'll drive because I'm not insured. She doesn't smoke, so I can pretty much be high the entire drive.
Found a free campsite 50 mins out of prince George, Cobb lake. So beautiful!
I had a dip in the lake when we got here. Was cold but refreshing. Not as cold as the river in whistler.
Had a joint, big fire, pasta and wer created a new s'more. Salty cracker, gummie, and chocolate, toasted above the fire. So good!Read more

Beautiful morning by the lake. But if phafing around today trying to get a wheel for the spare tire. We actually got one which is good news.
I had a couple of cookies in the morning and a joint sy lunch time and dinner. Pretty great breaking down through beautiful scenery high the whole time.
Found a random spot at a trail head for a fire going which was difficult with the wet food.
Cooked up a beautiful vindaloo curry. So good!

Day 17
Exploring the Limits of Comfort
October 23, 2018 in Canada ⋅ ☀️ 4 °C
Got a move in from hazelton just had coffee and a price of cake and hot the road.
Today's goal was to see how comfortable I could get. Cookies, joints, snacks, jumpers and a pillow, I got pretty comfy.
We saw what I imagine to be a coyote, looked like a big fox. It ran across the road and popped over the other side, looking curious.
Then a huge eagle flew out on to the road and was flying directly towards us and then flew over our roof. That wad pretty amazing. There were a couple of others to which flew along with us for a bit.
Then further on wer saw a cat animal, we are thinking a bob cat but have no idea. It camouflaged into the grass extremely well.
Found a nice camp site on Dease Lake but it had a bunch of skins lying around people had left. Wer thought it was skunk or badger at a guess. But again I don't know the wildlife here very well.
Amazing views of the rocky mountains the whole drive today, in and out of most and fig all day, such good driving. Again I read high most of the day, very comfortable!
Beautiful views of the lake!Read more

Day 18
Fuck Yeah Yukon
October 24, 2018 in Canada ⋅ ☁️ 4 °C
We made it to the Yukon!
Had a nice view from inside my tent for the morning sunrise at the lake.
Got our tires rotated at Charlie's in Dease lake, and played fetch with a great dog in the yard.
Amazing views again driving through the mountains.
Made it to Morely Lake to camp for the night. And we saw a fox crossing the road and few chipmunks. Amazing spot on the lake, pretty sunset and a stunning full moon rising over the lake.
I couldn't get a fire to start which was annoying, but next time I will shave the wood more with a knife rather than just the axe.
Going to be an amazing sunrise in the morning too!
Haven't been meditating, usually because I'm high at night and its freezing in the morning.
Start again. Start again.Read more

Day 19
Pamper Day
October 25, 2018 in Canada ⋅ ⛅ 6 °C
Absolutely beautiful sunrise viewing from my cozy tent.
Finally made it to Whitehorse!!!
Went straight to the sports centre for a spa, sauna, steam room and a shower.
I had a joint in the car park which made the spa very relaxing!
Kellie wasn't keen on the open showers because she wanted to shave her legs, and dye her hair and stuff, so she didn't really shower.
We met up with one of her friends from Vancouver a French girl named Flora.
She was going to spend the winter her working in a book shop.
Kellie and I got a bunch of munchies and had a movie night in the back of the van, watched pineapple Express.
Camped above long lake hoping to see some northern lights but the moon was so full and bright we didn't have much luck.Read more

Day 20
Kellie gets a shower
October 26, 2018 in Canada ⋅ ⛅ 0 °C
We had a bit of sleep in this morning. Well a slower morning, I was awake at 6 and just read until kellie got up at 10:30.
Was literally laughing in hysterics to one of the passages in Into Thin Air. Crazy fucking story and amazing what people put them selves through and are able to survive.
We literally drove to this place an hour and a half away to have a shower at this laundromat that did showers too. Kellie was pretty worked up about the idea of possibly having a shower, I was quite nervous for her, really hoping it would be open etc.
Can not describe how excited she was when it was open and we could have a shower.
I finished a lot quicker than her so made some porridge and had a joint. I was in hysterics again when she came out and she going on about how good she felt etc.
Went to the pub next door to treat ourselves a little more. I had a Canadian poutine and she had a big burger.
We saw a bunch of deer crossing the road, but still no bears or moose.
Went and found yet another beautiful lake to camp by. Got a fire going and wanted to have another movie night but the laptop was dying I think because of the cold.
The lake we were at had a layer of ice. When we through a rock it made like a whistle noise when it went through. Later when it was a bit windy it made the whole lake whistle, it was really cool.
Seeing Rhea tomorrow which is exciting, going to have dinner with her and her dad. I invited Kellie because I feel uncomfortable leaving her on her last night before she sees her auntie. And then she should be fine. She was staying tonight how she appreciated having me there because she wouldn't have felt comfortable camping and doing the things we did if she was alone. She said she would have just got somewhere early, cooked and got in the car pretty quickly.
Been a great trip traveling with Kellie, shes very easy going and a caring person.Read more

Day 21
Last day in the Yukon
October 27, 2018 in Canada ⋅ ⛅ 5 °C
Kellie and I took a drive out closer to Alaska, went to the end of destruction bay. We were going to meet Rhea and her dad for dinner but decided to just do breakfast in the morning and we can go camping for the last night and try and see the northern lights.
Stayed out at fish lake. Attacked by wolves which turned out to be dogs. There was a dog missing place nearby that all the dogs were howling at the moon. Very cold night but no lights.
Finished my book into thin air and gave it to kellieRead more
