Summit… at last!

Summit… at last from Ken Roberts on Vimeo.

1944. Or about quarter to eight in the evening. Ken and his trusty steed finally make it to the highest point on the Haines Road.

Blitzkreig into British Columbia

October 3rd, 2011

Blitzkrieg into British Columbia from Ken Roberts on Vimeo.

Still no bears, but hordes of Germans.. Just like France, the Yukon and British Columbia being popular destinations. Direct flight from Frankfurt into Whitehorse, most likely the only international airport in the region.
