Read MoreNow more than ever, our environment needs more defenders. We thought that living in an all solar rig and driving on waste vegetable oil was doing our part.

This documentary made us realize what we eat, specifically meat, has a much bigger impact on the environment than any other aspect of our lives.
Read MoreThere's only one campground in Tombstone Territorial Park and by luck we found a pretty nice boondocking site about 12 miles from the campground.
Read MorePhotos of Tombstone Territorial Park caught my eye. Its jagged peaks that reached straight into the sky and unbelievably colorful rolling tundra. Just Google “Tombstone Territorial Park” and you’ll want to book the next flight to Yukon. On top of that, the park area is referred to as “Patagonia of the North”.

This is doubly true for digital nomads who often eschew owning expensive things and embrace going paperless for both personal and work records. Everything is in our laptops. Insurance can’t protect against data loss. That’s why we need backups.
Read MoreWe had this kickass plan for hiking Sheep Creek trail in Kluane National Park. During our first trip to the Tachal Dhal Visitor Center, the ranger mentioned that we could make a loop out of the trail instead of hiking it as an out and back. We were excited to finally hike a loop trail in Yukon.
Read MoreWhile at Kluane National Park we had been spending time in the southern end of the park. But there were two things we wanted to do in the section of the park north of Haines Junction: see Kluane Lake and hike Sheep Creek trail. Except we weren't expecting to see the lake this way...
Read MoreSamuel Glacier is no doubt one of our top 5 places we visited while we were in Yukon. This is a place we insist you check out if you’re in the area.
