Discovered the Yukon in 1985, never leaving. Historian, traveller, photographer, writer, wilderness hiker, naturist, dog lover, antifa - on some particularly fine days, all of those things. Photos are mine unless otherwise credited.

Military ship commanders murdering foreign nationals at sea without due process: "I was just following orders - and yes, rejecting my oath to protect to Constitution. What are you going to do about it?"

The world will celebrate the deaths of these 3 evil people. Very soon, I hope. Trump certainly looks like the celebration may start today.

A screaming south wind last night has brought in some very warm air from the coast! The average high for today is -8.9C and the record low of -39.4C was set in 1975. #Yukon

White Horse, Yukon Territory, 1899. Within a year the community had been moved to the other side of the Yukon River, and it would be almost 60 years before a community developed on this side, with a bridge to access it.

Was this the world's first podcast? Connecting 10,000 Ford dealers in 41 cities for an hour in 1934! Using 15,000 miles of wire and 250 phone company employees.

Do you have any plans for it yet? We rented a campervan and wandered the North Island for a month. 10/10

Hiking in places like Mine Mountain just north of Skagway, Alaska, requires well-developed off-trail navigation skills.

New Zealand has some bloody awesome bus tours. From 90 Mile Beach on the west coast of the North Island, where the speed limit is 100m km/h, we went up Te Paki Stream to do some dune-surfing ❀️

There you go, Neil. You could, though, just get your mum to show you how to Unfollow him, to lower your stress level.

Canada and Mexico aren't trying to determine what international law is - only the folks in that crack house between us are.

By the time they're 30, every person should be put in a position where they have to navigate an airport while in a wheelchair, believing that was their life from then now. It would soon be a better world. Empathy can be a learned behaviour - or re-learned. Yes, I did, 5 years ago.

A Short History of Maplewood Flats | Eve Lazarus North Vancouver’s Maplewood Flats is now a wildlife sanctuary but in the 1970s, it was home to a group of artists and environmentalists

I'm pleased to see one of my favourite historians describing another little-known (or long-forgotten) bit of Vancouver-area history, including acknowledgement and perhaps even celebration of the fact that nudity was common in counter-culture communities of that period. evelazarus.com/a-short-hist...

A muddy day exploring along the Mackenzie Highway in the Northwest Territories. What an amazing trip this was. After 9 days on the road, during which I rode 5,127 kilometers, I had 1,166 photos in my file after editing.

If you think the New City City mayor election was wild this year, check out the 1933 one! I just came across this in the "Radio News Briefs" section of The Whitehorse Star.

The fascists now in charge aren't big on logic. Or facts. Or empathy. Or truth in general. Or science...

Getting a car from Dawson to Whitehorse, Yukon, in 1933 sometimes required the car to be disassembled and carried across the Yukon River piece by piece by canoe! Ah yes, the good old days! πŸ˜‚
