Revy In Motion Again


Somehow, I managed to get some high end gopro shots last season while riding revy. I also edited it by myself so your expectations can't be too high ...

Home Sweet Home

Home Sweet Home
Finally, I made it back home to Germany. It feels good to be back!
Even though it already itches me to leave for more adventures ...

Into The Wild

The title may sound cheeky, but it's exactly what Jo and I did: we bought some food, packed our backpacks and went hiking. After a 30 minutes drive over 4x4 roads we started "into the wild"; no signs, no paths, no people and a lot of nature's beauty.

Day 1: our first camp spot ... 
... and the view back into the valley we came from. 
The next day started rainy ... 
... and stayed rainy.
Some colourful impressions during the first two days
Day 3: our second camp spot
Every now and then we found a game trail to follow, most of the times we didn't.
Another beautiful view 
Jo, the "pathfinder" ...
... still looking for a path. 
We spent the last night underneath a small rock shelter. It was pretty pretty damn cold (you may have noticed the snowy tops of the mountains in the background of this picture). Today started very rainy again and so we got a bit wet on our way out.

Whitehorse pt.III

Last week, we took Trixie out for a walk.
She showed us a nice creek, ...
... a little climb out of the creek ... 
... and a pretty view on top of the creek.
Alex is complementing Trixie for her guiding-skills, Jo is feeling comfortable as well.
We also found a beaver lodge ... 
... and a hungry chipmunk.
Jo and I decided to go back to that area for some more adventures, exploring and hiking. We ended up staying there for the last four days. Stay tuned for some more impressions ...

YUKON

The Yukon called ...
...  for a canoe trip.
I was forced to have a look!
We found some decent fishing spots, ...
... nice dinner spots, ...
... good spots to do dishes, ...
... very good spots to camp, ... 
... and some amazing scenery of course. 

That's the crew again: Robin, me, Tanja, David, Friedhelm and Jo.
We also met some animals on our way from Johnsons Crossing to Dawson City. 
Big ones, ... 
small ones, ...
spooky ones, ...
majestic ones, and many more.   
A look to the right ...
... and a look to the left (both pics from the same spot).
The Yukon is quite big with a total length of over 3.000 km and up to 10 km/h fast.
There are beautiful creeks to be found which enter the big stream ...
... and a lot of islands and sand banks.
After all, it took us twelve days for the 700 km trip. Twelve days of beautiful nature! We saw (and heard!) tons of animals and almost no people. 

If you are able to read German: hier gibt's einen ausführlichen Bericht aus der Sicht von Jo.

Thanks to everybody for letting me use their pictures & for an amazing time on these amazing rivers through the wilderness!

Whitehorse pt.II

I just got back from our canoe trip to Dawson City. There are a couple of pictures I have to go through before I can post about our trip. So here is a little throwback:

It's been two weeks now, when we hiked up Grey Mountain ...
... Whitehorse's local mountain.
Robin on top with the rest of the crew in the back
Tanja, the fire devil
Jo and I went out for a last rip the next day ...
... and finally, our canoe trip started!
