It’s the first international trip in a while — we had to cancel Pitcairn Island after I had a serious accident and then Covid hit. We are driving, camping, and taking things slowly so my noncaching spouse might be willing to stop here and there. The last time we crossed into Canada the border crossing took quite a while because the Canadian official could not understand why we were planning to go to Writing on Stone park to see rock art. Perhaps they will better understand Gertie’s Can Can revue in Dawson City. You'll have to share with us your Yukon adventures. I'm in Calgary and am planning a multi week road trip in 2025 through Yukon right up to Tuktoyaktuk (Arctic Ocean). Hiking, geology and culture are our goals. You must not have crossed at Coutts then, they would have been very familiar with it. Writing-on-Stone is probably my second favourite place in the world, I've been going there occasionally for over 40 years. To sit in the hoodoos at sunset and look across the river valley, across the Medicine Line to the Sweet Grass Hills is a pretty spectacular experience. 1 Quote Link to comment
+Gill & Tony Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Back in 2014 we did the traditional cruise up the Inside Passage and took a shore excursion to Carcross in the Yukon. I spoke to our coach driver and asked if we would be stopping at Carcross desert. He had planned a slow drive-past, but I persuaded him to stop just long enough to let me take a photo. There's an earthcache there (GC2G4WW) and I needed a photo. He stopped and everyone on board was amazed to see a desert there. I think it became a regular stop. Emerald Lake was beautiful, and a second earthcache. I would love to go back and see more of the Yukon. A one-day tour just doesn't do it justice. 1 2 Quote Link to comment

PCS in 1972 resulted in me driving from Baltimore to Anchorage (in a Corvair.) The ALCAN in those days was over 1,100 miles of gravel road. My windshield was cracked by mile 7. When I got to Anchorage I was told my orders had changed so I had to drive 360 miles back north to Fairbanks.

Looks like I may be doing the same trip this June. I have previously done the return by train to White pass but did not know about the desert. Friends we are cruising with have organised a coach tour to White Pass but I don't yet know the details. I'm just tagging along with three others (muggles) as I've done the Inside Passage cruise twice before. Another time in Skagway my late wife and I did the Grizzly Falls zip line tour. Fantastic.

+terratin Posted April 17, 2023 Author Share Posted April 17, 2023 Ethical discussion on collecting countries. I realized a few days ago that it's still possible to visit Russia: Go to Gdansk, take bus to Kaliningrad. Well, it's not that simple. Depending on your home country you need an invitation, insurance and visa, or you need to actually talk to the Russian ambassador to get this visa. In some countries it's not possible anymore at all. But it would theoretically be possible here. How you actually get rouble for your stay is a completely different matter as creditcards might not work. But it's possible. On that note, there are buses from Austria to Ukraine. Just saying. Discuss Quote Link to comment

Discuss I don't see it as an ethical problem, if you as a geocacher jump through all the legal hoops to grab a cache in Russia (or any other autocratic country, whose government wages a war against an internal or external "enemy"). If you keep the amount of money spent in that country to an absolute minimum, it won't make a practical difference. I really don't think, that the Russian government will use visits of geocachers for propaganda purposes (but if they do, I would indeed have a big ethical issue with caching in Russia). Ethics aside, I definitely wouldn't visit Russia now. Not only because of all the hassle with crossing the border, but also because I wouldn't feel safe there as a foreign citizen. And who knows how the situation develops? Like, you're in Russia, and out of a fit Putin decides to close the borders right now - you're trapped. Quote Link to comment

Seriously, I stood on the bridge between Liechtenstein and Switzerland, and the closest Swiss cache was so close. But I want to visit a country properly and not just grab a cache. So I'm still looking for an opportunity for this but I can't decide on what to do. Switzerland is not running away. 1 Quote Link to comment

It was a snow storm at the time, but we raced out anyway, caught a bus down to the end of the island where the cache was, and then headed back to the bus stop. The snow was really pelting down by now, like full on blizzard, everything was white including the roads, and when we got back on the bus there was just the bus driver and one airport worker on the bus having a conversation - that went something like this: "The weather is getting pretty bad, eh" "Yep" "You guys keep driving?"

+geodarts Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 Three weeks after we return from Alaska and the Yukon we will be going to Botswana, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. While some caching will be possible, the primary focus is of course on the wildlife and Rock Art. I floated an idea to my wife that we could plan the trip to include layovers that would be practical to add a couple of other countries but that did not go over so well. Ever since a major accident prevented me from going to Pitcairn Island (travel insurance came in handy) I am grateful to be able to go anywhere. Quote Link to comment
+Gill & Tony Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 Sounds like you will be at Victoria Falls. If so - take the plane ride. Expensive, but worth every penny. In Botswana, you will probably visit Chobe NP. If so, there are a few areas designated for tour vehicles to stop for refreshments. I think there is a cache at each one of these.
